Chapter 28: Psycho
"What did you say?" the woman asked. Shock colored her voice.
"Right. You can't do that because even if you burn your money on a children's fight, you'll never win." Heaven shrugged nonchalantly, cupping her cheek while keeping her eyes on the woman across from her. "Let's see, so far from my observation, you don't really have a good reputation. Those friends of yours were not really your friends. But people who knew that they would benefit if they stick around you. I've met many people like you, and I know what kind of person you are."
The side of her lips curled up into a smirk, eyelids drooping. Her change of demeanor and the sight of her suddenly sent a wave of dread down the woman's spine, as if she were looking at a psycho at work.
"Meanwhile, I succeeded in painting myself as a humble and decent human being. Even if I hurt you right now, for as long as no one sees it, someone will vouch for my innocence," added Heaven, chuckling with her lips closed. "On the other hand, people will think you hurt yourself just to prove your lies. Don't you know why people's names and reputations are more important than money?"
"It's because a person's reputation will take you farther than your money," she continued. "That is why people whom you can't reach can easily throw money for their reputations. Of course, you wouldn't get it since no matter what you do, you will never reach one of them. You are stuck in that miserable life."
A familiar sound of a hand hitting a face resounded. Heaven's face was tossed to the side as the woman's hand connected to her cheek. The woman was fuming and her face turned red in anger, standing from her seat to shut this woman from talking further.
Those around them couldn't help but gasp at the unfolding scene before them. They all looked at their table. Even the woman's friends were in disbelief at how things went.
'Hah. That stings.'Heaven moved her tongue across her inner cheek. The side of her lips bled as the woman's ring connected with her lower lip.
"How dare a nobody like you say such nonsense? Who do you think you are?" The woman's voice shook in anger. "Do you think you can get away with this? You don't know who I am and what I am capable of doing. I'll make sure you will regret ever crossing me," she promised.
