Nobody has seen her become so aggressive.
In other words, in their eyes, Elinor was usually weak and vulnerable. But they forgot that she was not like this.
She was just used to being so. But Victor knew she was strong in her heart, with huge energy. He knew Elinor was same as him.
Therefore, Darleen couldn't rival her.
For instance, after Elinor jeered at Darleen, she leaned against Rutledge's chest.
Rutledge glared in surprise, but he still acted to help Elinor.
"I don't care about your malicious thoughts."
Elinor curled her hair inadvertently, winked at Victor, her frivolous look similar to Victor's, and she said ambiguously, "Work hard to get what you want. Never try to suppress me."
Despite sitting in Victor's car, she still blurted out, "I know you wanna become Victor's girlfriend, but you don't have to suppress me. It is his business whether to love you or not. You can flatter him. I don't care. But don't get me involved."
Darleen turned livid, and there were resentment in her eyes. But she had to smile gracefully, which was different from Elinor's arrogance.
"Don't drag me into your affairs. As if you can't get him if you don't get rid of me."
Elinor suddenly lowered her voice and looked at Victor. "Right, Mr. Donald?"
Darleen gnashed her teeth. Her affection for Victor was exposed completely. If it weren't for the people present, she would definitely fight back.
She suffered for so many years, just to get Victor. But now, her efforts were destroyed by Elinor easily. How can she endure it?
"Elinor, you really misunderstood me..."
Darleen still pretended to be innocent and smiled awkwardly. "Why are you so hostile to me? Since high school, I've always seen you as my little sister."
"How shameless you are!" Elinor laughed, "Were we familiar?"
