Chapter 180: He's My Man, So Back Off

Tina and Jared Farrell descended the stage under the admiring gazes of the audience. Approaching Amber with a slightly lifted chin and a defiant air, Tina asked, "Did you like the gift I sent you?"

Amber clenched her fists, her eyes brimming with jealousy and anger. It was her event, yet Tina had stolen the spotlight. Why must she always lose to Tina?

Feeling the crowd's eyes on her, Amber forced an ugly smile. "I love it. I had no idea you played the piano so well, Tina. Why didn't you ever mention this? If I had known, I would have suggested that grandma send you abroad for further studies instead of wasting your time teaching at Ensford High School."

Tina laughed haughtily. "Why should I mention anything to you?"

Amber's face stiffened, tears welling up as she looked at Tina with hurt. "Why do you hate me so much, Tina? We're sisters!"

Tina tucked a stray hair behind her ear, her luxurious dress accentuating her allure. "I spared you in the past for Mr. Reed's sake, but that doesn't mean you can step on me."

Her gaze turned icy. "My mother only had me. I don't have a sister. Don't try to claim a relationship with me. My connections aren't easily climbed."

Inside, Amber seethed with hatred, though her exterior showed nothing but grief. Nathaniel, seeing this, felt a surge of protective anger and began to shout at Tina, "Enough, Tina! This is Amber's event..." His words were cut short as he suddenly found himself unable to speak.
