Anne was so angry that her face was trembling, and her hands balled into fists.
When was the last time that someone actually dared scold and insult her in public?
When she thought of the young ladies and gents attending the exhibit, she hated Diamond more and wanted to tear the other person apart.
"Do you think that you will get away with it? Just because you are some popular internet celebrity, you see yourself as a deity?"
"Haha," when Diamond heard that, she burst into a peal of laughter, clapping her hands, tears pooling in her eyes.
Those seeing her couldn’t help but feel sorry for Anne. Looking at the way Diamond was laughing; they all could see that Diamond was playing around with Anne and didn’t take her seriously at all.
"Darling, I am your deity!" Diamond boasted as she took several steps towards Anne.
P, upon seeing that her friend wasn’t faring well. She faced Diamond and started berating the other. "Diamond, aren’t you just taking advantage just because you have some money and fans?" her voice filled with indignation.
Diamond, who simply thought that she would be facing Anne, only didn’t expect P to suddenly cut in and stand on Anne’s side. It would have been better if she stayed clear out of the mess, but she dared intervene. Who the heck was she?
Diamond’s gaze shifted from Anne, who was trembling in anger, to P, who was obviously trying to flatter Anne without understanding the beef between the two of them.
"Tche, and who the heck are you?" Diamond clicked her tongue, irritation in her tone as she rolled her eyes at P.
When P heard that, she was so angry and wanted to cuss at Diamond, but when she recalled that she was a celebrity and needed to maintain face. She calmed herself down and looked at Diamond aggrievedly, with reddened eyes, as if she had been bullied.
When Diamond saw that, she scoffed inwardly, thinking about how green tea P was acting. However, unlike P, she wasn’t one to adapt to any of those green tea or white lotus characters. She would always remain herself.
"I would advise you to stay clear of what you don’t know!" Diamond growled a warning to P before facing Anne who at some point had calmed down a bit and said, "I don’t care how you treat others or see yourself as around here but let me assure you, if you dare offend me. I don’t mind dragging everyone in your family with you.
Unlike you, who relies on your parents. I made my own empire. It’s not just about the millions of fans that you would never have, but also the money that you would never have.
If you want to play a game of who is richer and more powerful than the other. Then I welcome you with both hands!" Diamond scoffed at Anne. She really disliked these kids who dared use their parents’ influence to bully others when they had nothing.
If only they were standing there with what they have achieved, then perhaps she would look kindly on them.
"As for whether I have taste or not. Whether I can appreciate art or not, darling, that isn’t your business. As long as my wallet is thick enough to pay for a painting, then I will get it. Even if I put it in the toilet, that will be my business.
Just because you understand some art, don’t make it look as if you are some sort of royalty. And lastly, as a woman, speaking as one, I hope that you will stop looking down on others as if they are ants.
You might be rich, but always remember that there are others who are richer than you. One day, because of your audacity to bully the weak, you will offend a seclusive and hidden boss. Who knows, that bank you are so proud of might end up going bankrupt?" with a shrug of her hands, she mercilessly warned.
Watching the drama were several ladies and gentlemen who, at some point, had stopped appreciating art and listening to the drama.
"Hehe, she finally met her match!"
"I remember Diamond. I once saw her at a function held by Lady Samantha. She was her honorable guest!"
"Damn! Then doesn’t that mean that her background is deep?"
"Um, I think that she is not to be underestimated. Otherwise, how could she openly offend others like that?"
"I really don’t like that Diamond. She sounds too low for someone with money."
When you are out there in society, no one would bother to treat you the same. We are all out here to survive and live a better life. I didn’t leave my house to be stomped by another woman’s child.
If someone tries to sue a certain advantage to deal with you, then return the favor. Either use the same or something better, you are good at it. If you don’t have one, then find a thicker tree to hug to deal with the matter. And if you are strong, always remember that it’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Some say revenge is best served cold. So why not wait till you are capable of doing so?
Anyway, in my case, I prefer to deal with the matter on the spot and for those who provoke and offend me when I haven’t done anything to them. I tend to never show mercy. After all, it’s not like he or she can do anything to me.
I have the capital to play the rogue character. However, I also believe in maintaining peace. If possible, let no one go out to cause problems. The world is a beautiful one and it would be great to just live without being at each other’s throats."
Essy was surprised to hear that personally. After all, as a fan, she had heard the same words repeatedly, but seeing them being applied in reality, it felt surreal.
"But .... Anne is a vindictive person. She won’t let the matter rest easily like that!" Essy was worried about that matter, but Diamond simply chuckled.
"Then let her flap her wings like an idiot for all I care. If she dares come at me, I will attack what’s making her arrogant," Diamond amusedly said, though the threat in her words was vivid for everyone to hear.
Essy couldn’t help but shudder at the thought of that happening.
Those listening couldn’t help but wonder if Diamond was all just talk, but they didn’t want to experiment and see for themselves whether that would be true or not.
Since both of them were popular, perhaps they should keep on refreshing their social media apps. Maybe their news would pop up and updates provided.
When that was said, Essy no longer dared to keep on asking anything lest Diamond uttered something that would anger those behind Anne.
In the end, she swiftly changed the topic which was a bummer for the spectators but a happy thing for Diamond who happily admired the paintings while sharing her own thoughts about the paintings she took a liking to.
