Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 88 Go Separate Ways

Erin opened her eyes to see her cousin staring fiercely down at her, and she was drenched all over. She could not contain the fiery flames of fury rising within her too. “What’s gotten into you, May?”

Seeing the innocent look on Erin’s face, May screamed, “What’s gotten into me? Who allowed you to wear my clothes without my permission?”

“Your clothes?”

May held a creased Chanel top and spat at her, “What’s this, Erin? Are you going to tell me that this is yours?”

Her rude attitude made Erin feel extremely disheartened. She had not even been able to bring herself to question May about everything she just learned.

But now, May was shouting and screaming at her over a mere shirt. Erin looked at the shirt aloofly. It was the shirt that Chandler had used to cover her face earlier on. Who would have known that it was such an expensive piece?

“Is this really how you’re treating me over a shirt?”

Erin’s words did not lead May to reflect on her actions Instead, she answered even more rudely, “Don’t act like you don’t care. about it! This isn’t a shirt that you can afford! You’re no longer the person you used to be You’re just a divorcee with not even a house to your name! And now, you’ve even gotten yourself thrown out of your superior’s mansion! Now that we’re renting at place, you’ve resorted to stealing my clothes?”

“Are you done yet, May?” Erin wasn’t foolish enough to be bullied by just anyone. Since May was behaving like such a spoiled brat, she no longer wished to stay with her.

“How am I supposed to wear this shirt now that it’s in such a state? I don’t care, Erin! You’re paying me for it!” May threw a

tantrum.

Erin had never expected this cousin of hers, whom she had helped out of a difficult position many a time, to talk about paying her! Had she not been through those documents, she might never have known that she had turned out this way!

Erin simply asked impassively, “Pay? How do you propose I pay you?”
