Mandy let out a sharp laugh, folding her arms and looking Emmy up and down with obvious disdain.
“And on top of everything, he’s just a firefighter.”
“Our Sullivan family is loaded. We even have ties with the Nelsons—the absolute elite.”
“You really think just anyone with the last name Walker can suddenly become part of our family?”
Mrs. Sullivan shot Mandy a warning look and gently tugged at her sleeve.
“Mandy, maybe Emmy just remembered wrong. Let’s not make a scene.”
But Mandy wasn’t backing down. She kept her glare locked on Emmy.
“Mom, Dad, are you seriously not seeing what’s happening?”
“Abriella’s only acting like this because Emmy’s been a bad influence on her. That’s the only reason she’s so set on dating that firefighter, Will!”
“Ms. Lincoln gets to marry whoever she wants because she owns half of Starlight Corporation. She’s basically running her whole family now, so of course she can do what she pleases. But Abriella? She doesn’t have the brains, she doesn’t have the money, and now she wants to copy Ms. Lincoln—chasing after some so-called ‘true love’ without even asking you first!”
“She’s making it clear she doesn’t care about you, or about this family at all!”
Mandy’s dislike for Emmy ran deep.
Growing up among a bunch of rich girls, Emmy had always been different.
She was Mr. Sparrow’s favorite, doted on by every adult, always dressed in the nicest clothes, always getting the best of everything.
But what really got under Mandy’s skin was Abriella—this country girl nobody else wanted around, who could never quite get rid of that small-town smell. Yet Emmy insisted on being her friend.
She even kept coming over to the Sullivans’ just to stick up for Abriella, always standing up to Mandy.
Honestly, Mandy thought Emmy deserved to be left out by everyone else.
Emmy pushed aside her doubts for now. She listened to Mandy’s rant and just smiled.
“I have to say, Ms. Sullivan, your words really confuse me.”
“You say Abriella has no ability?”
