No longer a pushover

Noelle held the membership card, realizing it was for VIP members. She hadn't expected Emma to help her. It felt overwhelming! Not only was Noelle surprised, but Samantha and Xenia were equally taken aback.

Samantha immediately lost her composure. "What are you doing, Mrs. Greene?"

"Do I need to report myself to you? "Why haven't you learned even a fraction of your sister's manners?" She overheard how Samantha had mocked Noelle. What a rude girl.

Samantha teared up but didn't dare to talk back. She couldn't afford to leave a bad impression on Emma and risk bringing her sister down.

Xenia quickly stepped in. "Mrs. Greene, you misunderstood Samantha. She was just reminding Noelle about the rules so she wouldn't embarrass herself by getting stopped at the entrance."

Samantha looked at Xenia gratefully. Thankfully, this country bumpkin spoke on her behalf.

"You'd better hope that's the case." Emma gave Xenia a look. She remembered Xenia's father died in that car accident years ago. So she relented and didn't press the matter further.

Seeing that Emma wasn't pursuing it, Xenia sighed in relief. "Noelle, let's go in together. Don't take Samantha's words to heart. She's just blunt."

Noelle smirked. "Being blunt and intentionally hurting others are two very different things."
