Gretchen looked the beautiful Veronica in the face and wanted to tear her smile apart.
The others, who had watched Gretchen fall, suspected that Veronica had deliberately tripped over Gretchen. However, what Veronica had said pushed Gretchen under the spotlight again.
Gretchen loved to trip over her colleagues, whom she had grudges against, to vent her anger. Therefore, the crowd couldn't help thinking that Gretchen had used her old trick against Veronica.
They thought, 'Gretchen tripped over herself instead of Veronica this time.
Serve her right.'
Then, the crowd looked at Gretchen with disdain.
Gretchen realized that she had messed with the wrong person.
Gretchen thought, 'I wanted to trip over Veronica but made a fool of myself in the end. How infuriating!
I could have tripped over Veronica with that kick. My trick worked every time, so how did Veronica trip over me just now?
She must have been lucky. Or, she deliberately counterattacked after spotting my leg.'
