Glaring at Lucinda, she spat, âIs this some sort of alimony? He probably only did this so that youâd stop pestering him!â
Lucinda rolled her eyes impatiently, but she wasnât angry.
âWhatever the case may be, this is my private property now.
Youâre trespassing.
Get out, or Iâll have someone kick you out.

âYou Little-!â
Eleanor was so angry that her eye twitched.
When Lucinda got in her car, Eleanor calmed down and became complacent again.
âI couldnât defeat you before because Cyrus was on your side.
But from tomorrow on, you wonât win!â
Taking a glance at her from the sideview mirror, Lucinda shrugged indifferently.
She didnât take Eleanorâs words seriously at all.
She started the car and sped off, spewing exhaust on Eleanorâs face.
Caught off-guard, Eleanor choked on the smoke and coughed violently.
She stared at the Santana in the distance and stomped her foot angrily.
âWeâll see how long you can keep this up, Lucinda!â she hissed under her breath.

It was broadcasting the news about how the daughter of the Turner family, Jennifer Turner, got into a drunk driving accident.
She was currently in the hospital in a coma, and doctors were unsure whether sheâd ever wake up.
Her parents wept in front of the cameras.
But Lucinda didnât pay much attention to the news.

Although Lucinda found it a bit weird, she didnât really like gossiping, so she didnât know anything about what was going on.
âMiss Ross, have you heard the big news?â
Carrying a tray of food, Vivian came over with two other girls and sat next to Lucinda.
âWhat news?â Lucinda asked curiously.
Seeing that she didnât know, Vivian grew excited.
âDid you hear that the daughter of the Turner family got into a car accident? Today, the Turner family announced that their younger daughter who had been ill and living abroad, will come back home soon.

Without raising her head, Lucinda continued to eat and seemed disinterested.
âItâs not surprising.
