Rose's face twisted with fury. "You know nothing! You are talking nonsense!" she screamed.
The girl chuckled bitterly. "Maybe. Maybe I am talking nonsense. But the truth is right in front of us. Your family is falling, Rose. And not the Waters family, like you said. It's the Lancasters who are being crushed."
Rose's chest heaved with rage. "No! The Waters family will be destroyed, too! Isabella's family will take care of them, and when they fall, I will take my revenge. You'll see!"
The two friends only shook their heads. "You are pathetic," one of them said coldly.
Then, without another word, they walked past her and left the house.
Rose did not chase them this time. She stood frozen in the hallway, her fists clenched so tightly her nails dug into her skin. Her whole body shook with anger. She muttered to herself, "Fine. Leave. When you come crawling back, I will make sure you regret it. I will punish you both."
