It was our silent agreement to avoid a fight. We could make a scene, but we had to respect each other’s dignity. But tonight, I didn’t care about dignity anymore.
“Ah! Felicia! What’s wrong with you?”
Emily screamed, clutching her hand and tears welling in her eyes.
“If you’re jealous of the diamond ring, go buy it yourself! Why did you steal mine? No wonder the media calls you a gold-digger!”
“I’m so sorry, Miss Rodat! Felicia drank too much tonight and isn’t thinking straight.”
“Felicia! Hurry up and return the diamond ring to Miss Rodat!”
The director rushed over, pressed my head down and whispered, “She’s the daughter of the Rodat Family! You can’t afford to provoke her.”
For me, a woman like her didn’t deserve to be called a daughter of Rodat Family.
I stared at the newly engraved initials inside the diamond ring and said calmly, “It’s mine. Why should I give it back?”
“Felicia, do you really think you can defy me today?”
The director was furious. His face turned a deep purple.
I ignored him and my gaze settled on Daniel. He stayed distant, as if none of this concerned him.
“Mr. Brottier, tell me, whose diamond ring is this?”
All eyes in the room turned to us. Daniel frowned. After all, I rarely bothered him with things like this.
“Felicia, you’re not short on money. If the young lady wants it, give it to her.”
I nodded calmly. “Okay, fine.”
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. I had never been one to let things go easily. We both knew that well.
“Sigh, Felicia, you made such a fuss, but in the end, it’s all back to its owner, isn’t it?”
Emily recovered from her shock and held out her hand to me. “I don’t mind, but Daniel’s PR is having a tough time! The last time you booked a hotel with Daniel, his PR team worked through the night to resolve the issue. “
“Felicia, I didn’t want to make a big deal out of this. If you just posted an apology and say it was just a misunderstanding, let’s end it here.”
Clang!
A sharp sound rang out as the diamond ring shattered into pieces. Emily’s triumphant voice stopped suddenly. Her eyes widened in disbelief:
“How dare you?”
I shook my hand and forced a smile. “You said it was a slip of the hand.”
Emily stomped her foot in anger. “Daniel, look at her!”
Daniel’s voice carried a hint of displeasure. “Felicia, what exactly are you trying to prove tonight?”
