As Ann wanted to get up from her seat, Melissa pressed her hand firmly on Ann's shoulder. as she sneered.
"Wait! I'm not done yet," she sneered, her eyes glinting with a mysterious intensity.
Leaning in close, Melissa whispered in a voice that was barely above a hiss, "Remember this, Ms Ann Reynolds: I divorced your brother, not the other way around. And I'm also the one who wants nothing to do with your family. If you dare twist this truth, then we shall see who can make the other disappear.?
Melissa walked away in a glamorous stly and left all faces fixed on Ann's pale face. Before she could go out, Maria loudly yelled cursing her as she tells the waiter to clean up the mess on Ann.
"Is that b*tch called Melissa crazy? how dare she lay her filthy hands on my daughter."
Ann's hair, cloth and shoes were all soaked with water, she looked wretched, that she panicked for a moment. By the time she come back to her senses, she was already infuriated that trembled with emotions, longing to chase after Melissa and settle the score, yet she was stopped in her tracks by a kind-hearted waiter.
" Miss, you better go change your clothes before you catch cold." The waiter said gently.
The congregation stared at a miserable looking Ann, who stamped her foot indignantly. "will make her feel pain in the most excruciating way!" she muttered under her breath, flushing with anger.
Matteo wasn't happy with what was happening at the cafe between his little sister and the Reynolds, but melissa wasn't bothered by it at all. She she turned to him with a playful grin,
" Bro! I have a evening outing with Jolie, do you mind joining? it will be fun!" She chuckled.
Matteo glanced at her. His tone was frosty as he replied, "How can you think of outings at a time like this? After what the Reynolds have done?"
Melissa lowered her head and smiled helplessly, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes. " You don't have to take it to heart, and don't worry, it's over now. And even in future l won't allow them to make me a pushover, l will always respond to them in the tune they understand best."
Immediately they walked pass the cafe entrance, they saw Evans Reynolds car passing by in it was Maria and Ann.
Just as they exited the café, they spotted Evans Reynolds' car passing by with Ann and their mother inside. The moment Ann's eyes landed on Melissa, she exploded with indignation. "Bro, look at what she did to me! I was embarrassed in front of everyone. Mom can attest to this!"
Melissa stood still and glanced at them with cold eyes, the walked a way holding Matteo's hand , and ignoring Evans and his family.
Evans face was so gloomy, as usual, he didn't believe that Melissa would be so mean, but when he thought about the Cathy's false accusations against Melissa, he was afraid of causing another havoc. As he waited for Melissa to come and explain herself to him.
To his suprise, she didn't even look back at him and left.
Suddenly, Evans clasped his arm, and looked at her with a frigid face.
" Do you think you owe us an explanation for what just happened in there, Melissa!
Melissa turned, her captivating smile fully intact, as she faintly raised her eyes to look at him and snorted "Yes, I did it. So… what's there to explain? To whom?"
Then she left like she didn't do anything.
Nothing concerned her. Neither did she cste about Evans attitude.
Evans grips tighten, making Melissa feel uncomfortable, she turned back and looked at him with her gorgeous smile and beautiful eyes that permeated chill. " Mr Evans Reynolds, are you helping her settle the scores?.
Meanwhile, Ann who has always been pamper by her family since young, and has never been insulted before, not to talk of being humiliated in public. Of course! She wasn't ready to let go, not so easily. Ann began fuming.
"Brother, are you really going to let her walk away like that? That b*tch dared to treat me this way. You can't let her get away with it!"
Evans was also stuck on how to control and stop Melissa from continuing with her hilarious actions.
He looked at Ann with a frown face, " what do you want then? He asked .
Ann hooked her lips and looked at Melissa smugly. " Let her bow and apologize, only then will l let go."
" You want me to apologize? To whom? You? She sneered and looked at Evans, " oh..., l guess he has the same idea..., don't you?*
In the past, every time Ann and Maria stirred up troubled , they would as Melissa to beg for their forgiveness, and she did. But now things seem a little bit different, she didn't want to condone to their transgressions.
" Mr Reynolds, she said. Do you also want me to apologize? It's best if we check out the cafe's surveillance footage,to figure out what truly happen before we come to a conclusion. Isn't it Ms Ann Reynolds?" Melissa's word were so sarcastic. She shrugged off Evans hand and took Matteo's arm.
Matteo, unable to bear the unfolding drama, intervened with a firm voice, "It's normal for someone to retaliate against bullies, Ms. Ann. Didn't anyone in your family tell you that? And doesn't Miss Ann think it's time to apologize for her rudeness?"
