Exposing Her Mother-In-Law

Without being asked, Jessica pulled a chair and sat across from Bella. Her gaze was as sharp as a razor as if she wanted to wound Bella with her stare. 

"Ms. Jessica, did you forget? You told me to ignore you if we met, so why did you greet me earlier? You even entered my room uninvited! Where are your manners, ma'am?" Bella calmly asked.

Her words were enough to make Jessica's face flush red. Angry!

Before Jessica could respond, Bella continued, "You're the one seeking trouble, yet you blame me. Seriously, what do you want from me?" 

"You slu—" Jessica's voice faded. She really wanted to curse her but was afraid Bella might leave. She still needed to speak with her, so she suppressed her anger.

Jessica held herself back, trying to calm her emotions. She took deep breaths to ease her frustration, inwardly cursing Bella countless times.
