The slap echoed loudly through the restroom.

Judy clutched her cheek, staring at Aveline in disbelief. "You actually dared to hit me?"

Aveline's gaze was icy as she looked at her. "Yes, I did. Miss Thompson, you're truly ungrateful. I tried to help you, and you turned around and insulted me. Don't you think you deserved it?" Judy's eyes filled with rage. "No one has ever dared to treat me like this! Aveline, you're finished!"

Aveline raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And how exactly do you plan to finish me? I've recorded our conversation, Miss Thompson. So, if anything happens to me in the near future, you'll be the prime suspect." Judy's fury intensified as she glared at Aveline. "You just wait."

Aveline let out a slight scoff, not bothering to respond further.
