Florence's lips twisted into a sneer. “In case that thick skull of yours hasn't figured it out, I'm insulting you, you worthless drifter."

She grabbed a plate of fried rice and, without hesitation, dumped it onto Florence's expensive dress.

Florence gasped and stood, outrage twisting her features. "How dare you!"

Unfazed, Josephine grabbed a glass of water from a table and splashed it in Florence's face.

"Consider yourself warned. Now get out."
