What a Small World for Them

Exactly, those who were coming out were Anne and her friends, and they wore the same expressions of derision towards Esther.

Esther was always taught not to have a quarrel with anyone in public, since that would only embarrass herself. However, what Serena stuck to was to have a toe-to-toe quarrel right the second if it was necessary.

So Serena immediately refuted in an ironic tone, "Miss Anne, stealing someone else's boyfriend must be so fun now you even can’t help picking up a fight. Right?"

Anne always had a bad impression of a rich young lady like Serena. The most likely explanation was that she was jealous of Serena who came from a richer and more powerful family than the Cusacks. She glanced at Serena with disdain and said, "Miss Serena, you're actually the one who is picking up a fight, aren't you? Didn’t you see me ignore you? Why are you so eager to talk to me?"
