At that moment, Mandy and Harriet were behind the easel. When the crowd was drawn by the commotion, they could only see paint–smeared Mandy and an upset Harriet exchanging accusations.

“Raymond!” Harriet called out as soon as she spotted him. She rushed into his arms, bursting into tears. “I was just walking by with some paint because I couldn’t find a canvas, and Mandy knocked it over”

Raymond was taken aback, feeling a bit uncomfortable with the close contact. He gently pulled her away and asked. “So why is the paint on her and not on you!”

Harriet froze, her tears almost stopping. She quickly glanced down, saying, “I tried to block it. I didn’t think it would end up like this. I’m sorry.”

Raymond wanted to ask her to recreate the pose. But before he could say anything, Yolanda rushed over, enveloping Harriet in a protective hug.

“Harriet, don’t worry. I’ve got you,” Yolanda said, casting a disapproving glance at Mandy. “I know Harriet is an orphan and might not have the same status as you. But you bullied her before at school. Now that she’s dropped out, can’t you just leave her alone?”

Mandy was speechless. Who was bullying whom at school, anyway?‘

But before she could respond, Yolanda landed another blow. “Isn’t Harriet’s shaved head proof enough?”

Mandy’s eyes widened. “How was I supposed to know she shaved her head? If her hairstyle’s bad, shouldn’t she blame the hairdresser?‘

Already annoyed with Yolanda for nearly ruining Quinlyn’s birthday party on the cruise, Mandy was now even angrier seeing the two of them conspiring together.

Plus, Mandy was no longer the quiet pushover she used to be. She pointed angrily at the two and yelled, “Shut up, you two

brats!
