Violeta, sitting at the dining table while eating her food, remarked, "Were you waiting because you saw my brother was busy, or because you wanted to stay here longer?"

Violeta ate a small piece of steak, blinked, and said sarcastically, "Oh, then why did you come? Who invited you?"

Hattie gritted her teeth, wishing she could slap Violeta's smug face.

Niall intervened, "Alright, Vio. That's enough."

Violeta knew Hattie still had more tricks up her sleeve, so she stayed quiet.
