A Night with Her Cruel Mate

"Julia," Jean called out as she walked to her sister. "If I were you, I would be figuring out a way to resolve the on-going crisis, instead of coming here to find out the reasons why we did it.

I'm actually doing this to help you. You're an actress, but you've never been famous. After you receive attention from this, you'll want to thank me for it." Jean laughed with amusement.

"Jean, don't be so cocky," Julia retorted, her face darkening into a scowl. "I've been in this industry for many years and I've seen all types of scandals occur. If you think that you can put me down by slandering me, then you are obviously too naive."

"Really?" A sarcastic grin appeared on Jean's face. "That's great. I was afraid that you wouldn't able to withstand it. Then I would probably have less fun."

Julia narrowed her eyes at Jean and turned to glare at her mother. "I will never forget what you did to me," she spat with anger. "This is the last time I will ever call you my mother. From now on, we will be strangers. Even if I see you on the street, I will not look at you. I hope you remember what you did to me. If you can't live on your own, don't bother asking me for help."

"Julia, I..." Mandy wanted to say something, but cowered when she saw Jean's scowl.

She watched Julia storm out of the room, doing nothing.

Her lips moved, but no sound came out.

"What? Do you feel sorry for her?" Jean scoffed in disbelief.

"No, it's not like that," Mandy argued in a rush. "I'm just worried about you. What if Julia does something bad to you? What if you won't be able to deal with it?"

"You don't have to worry about it." Jean walked over to the windows and looked out. "It's just Julia. I can handle her."

She watched as Julia angrily rush out of the villa. Just when she was about to exit, Sherry went after her.
