Tender Intertwining
Cynthia Shannon's lips curved with a subtle arc, akin to the blooming poppy, dangerous yet enchanting.
“Even if I am not acknowledged, I possess the ability to stand on my own. What can you do besides pleasing Joe Louise? Relying solely on your identity as the Sweeney Family's daughter? Although I disdain wasting words on you, I must kindly remind you that you will never reach the heights I have achieved in your entire life! You don't even qualify to be my enemy!”
“For me, Joe is merely a choice, but for you, he is your only option! After all, the Sweeney Family is not what it used to be. Without Joe as your support, what will you have left?”
Her gaze held both contempt and pity as she glanced at Naomi before gracefully turning away.
It was only after Cynthia left that Naomi snapped back to reality and hurriedly caught up, intending to continue the argument.
However, she could only watch helplessly as Cynthia bent down and got into a car.
