Clad in designer attire with a heavily made-up face, Yuliana was adorned with gold and silver jewelry on her wrists, neck, and ears, exuding a sense of opulence and grandeur.
Upon laying eyes on Roxanne, she was momentarily surprised. However, she quickly regained her composure and arched her eyebrows, smiling as she strode toward her sister.
“Isn’t this my dear sister? It’s such a coincidence. We haven’t seen each other in six or seven years, right?” Yuliana’s voice was always tinged with a sarcastic tone.
Roxanne’s expression was solemn, and her eyes reflected an indifferent attitude. She retorted immediately, “I heard you were a tour guide in South East Aploth. How did you suddenly fulfill your dream of becoming part of a wealthy family?”
Peregrine and Linda, standing beside her, exchanged surprised glances as they tried to discern Yuliana’s identity. Why would she dare to act so arrogantly in front of Roxanne? Roxanne shot Linda a look; the latter immediately nodded and led Peregrine and the other executives away.
“How can I ever compare to you, Roxanne? I never imagined that Mr. Farwell of the Farwell Group would remarry you. You’re the one who has achieved your dream by attaching yourself to a wealthy family. I’m nothing compared to you.” Yuliana’s words were full of sarcasm.
Without giving Roxanne a chance to retaliate, she continued, “Looks like having children brings many benefits. A responsible man like Mr. Farwell must have remarried you because of the children. I need to follow your lead, Roxanne!”
A grim look crept onto Roxanne’s face. As there was no one else around, she felt no need to be courteous toward Yuliana.
“Yuliana, you are still as sharp-tongued as ever! However, trying to provoke me with those worthless words is futile now. I guess you must be jealous. So what if I did marry into a wealthy. family? I should remind you to check the current market value of Flora Verba Group. I’m now a wealthy woman in my own right! Do you understand?” Roxanne hissed.
Her quick-witted remarks shattered Yuliana’s pretentious pride. Her face reddened with embarrassment as she clenched her teeth and gave Roxanne a cold glare.
“Don’t get too smug, Roxanne! Life is long and unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen in the future. But one thing is for sure, in the past, you were nothing but a punching bag for me!”
Yuliana intended to flaunt her own superiority by bringing up past events, but to her surprise, Roxanne remembered everything vividly. She shot Yuliana a ferocious glare and swiftly landed a hard slap on the woman’s face.
Slap! Yuliana cradled her stinging cheek and seethed with anger. “How dare you hit me?” As she shouted in anger, she lifted her hand, poised to strike back. However, she was caught off guard when suddenly, four to five figures surrounded Roxanne.
Those were bodyguards that Lucian had arranged to always be by Roxanne’s side. They were ordered to follow her in public areas and remain alert, especially when she came into contact with someone unfamiliar. The sight of Roxanne taking action naturally made them vigilant, and they immediately appeared by her side as quickly as possible to ensure her safety.
As soon as Yuliana raised her right hand, one of the bodyguards swiftly grabbed her wrist while the other pinned her to the ground, leaving her no time to react.
Although their actions weren’t too violent, they still caused a scene and attracted the attention of many onlookers. Yuliana felt utterly embarrassed as she was. held to the ground before she even had the time to react.
She gritted her teeth and screamed, “What do you guys want? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll call the police? Roxanne, I can’t believe you!” Roxanne towered over Yuliana, looking down at her while saying in an icy tone, “Call the police?
Sure, go ahead. Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?” After speaking, she bent over slightly and raised her hand to slap Yuliana’s other cheek.
