Chapter 20 Emma felt like ignoring Arianna, so she simply focused on having a taste of the coffee that she had
made for her and Susanna. However, even though Emma was trying to steer away from trouble,
Arianna clearly didn’t think the same.
When Arianna saw how Emma had completely ignored her, she placed her arms on her waist while
storming over to stand in front of Emma and Susanna’s table. “Hey! Did you turn deaf after going
abroad for one year?” Arianna was used to speaking as if she were a level above Emma, and she was
used to addressing Emma in a rude tone. She had completely forgotten how Emma wasn’t related to
her at all after Emma’s divorce. In other words, Emma was no longer obligated to tolerate Arianna’s
terrible temper.
Emma sat firmly in her spot as she looked up and gazed at Arianna. “I do think I’ve changed, but it
seems like you haven’t changed at all, Miss Bateson.” Emma shot a glare at Arianna’s arrogant face as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe enunciated clearly, “You’re still as despicable as always.” “You—” Arianna was used to Emma
being quiet and patient around her, so she would’ve never expected Emma to attack and offend her in
such a manner.
Furthermore, Emma had done it in front of all the people at the filming location. In short, Emma had
completely embarrassed her! Arianna’s face was twisted with fury, and she raised her hand to grab the
cup of coffee and splash it in Emma’s face. If it were someone other than Emma who had offended her,
Arianna might not have lost control of herself.
However, Arianna was too used to bullying Emma, so she couldn’t bring herself to accept the sudden
change in Emma’s demeanor. This made Arianna especially furious.
No one expected Arianna to lose her temper and splash coffee at someone else over such a small
matter, so everyone froze in their spots for a short while. Emma instinctively dodged away from the
coffee, so only some of the coffee splashed on her fair arm. She managed to dodge most of it. It was
summertime, so Emma was dressed in a simple, short-sleeved white t-shirt.
Her fair arm immediately turned red as the hot coffee had burned her skin. Susanna was the first to
lose her cool. She hastily stood up and handed Emma some tissues before she pointed her finger in
Arianna’s direction. “Do you have a f*cking death wish?!” she cursed. Susanna used to be one of the
rebellious girls when she was in high school, but she changed for the better after she began acting.
Right then, the rough and rebellious side of her seemed to have awakened in response to Arianna’s
horrible behavior. Susanna had rolled her sleeves up and was about to give Arianna a tight slap across
the face when Emma reached her arm out to stop her. Even though Emma was the one who had been
stained with coffee, she felt calmer than everyone else there. She didn’t want Susanna to act out in
front of such a huge crowd, especially since her friend was a famous celebrity.
If anyone took a video of Susanna hitting someone, she was definitely going to suffer the
consequences of her actions. “It’s fine, Susanna.” Emma tried to calm the other woman down. Susanna
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfelt like her insides were about to burst from all the rage she felt. “How can you say that it’s alright after
she poured coffee all over you?!” Susanna shouted at the top of her lungs. “It’s alright.” Emma smiled
at Susanna. “Because… I’m about to pour it back at her.” Once she finished her sentence, Emma lifted
her cup of coffee and flung her arm out to splash the coffee all over Arianna. Emma was a little meaner
than Arianna—she had sent all of the hot coffee directly toward Arianna’s face.
Arianna instantly let out a blood-curdling scream. Emma’s cup of coffee wasn’t as hot, so it wouldn’t
burn Arianna’s skin. However, it was good enough to shame Arianna in front of everyone else.
Embarrassing Arianna in public was one of the best ways to attack her.
The woman loved nothing more than her face, after all. She had always been proud of herself. “Emma
Yates, you b*tch! How dare you pour coffee in my face! I’m going to kill you!” Arianna’s loud screams
filled the whole filming set, and she marched toward Emma while wiping the coffee stains off of her
face. “What’s going on here?” Right then, a man’s harsh and stern voice came from behind them. It
seemed that Trevor, Eleanor, and the director of the series had made their way over to them.
