Chapter 25: Spoiled brat
Making her way out of the main hall, she found an exit and spotted a quiet pool some distance away. Without hesitation, she walked toward it. That would be the best place to be alone, away from the gazes of people she didn’t even know.
If only she had listened to Zara, she wouldn’t have ended up in such a predicament. Sighing, she continued walking until she reached the pool, glancing around in search of a bar, perhaps she could get something to drink. Her mouth had been dry for a while, craving water or any non-alcoholic drink. She would be so glad to find one right now. She needed to cool down.
"Oh, look who it is."
A voice spoke from beside her, and Patricia didn’t need to be told who it was.
Turning to face her, her heart skipped a beat when her eyes landed on the person beside her sister. It was Collin. She couldn’t make out his expression clearly, but she knew he was staring at her. Quickly, she averted her gaze and dropped it to her sister.
"I will excuse myself," she said, hoping Clara wouldn’t make things worse by stopping her. If there was one thing Clara had learned from Lisa, it was the habit of humiliating people just to feel superior.
"What? Are you suddenly denying your sister now that you are married? You didn’t even bring your husband home for your grandfather’s death anniversary. How could you change so quickly just because you got the man you wanted? You are ungrateful."
As expected, Clara ran her mouth, and the last part hit a nerve. The man she wanted?
Scoffing inwardly, Patricia turned to face her.
