“What?” Nelly paused. “She hits people too?”
“Yeah!” Yelena squinted. “The b*tch acts pitiful in front of others but behaves like a whole different person in the blink of an eye! She asked the female superior to go somewhere deserted and slapped her a few times, taking advantage of the fact that there weren’t any surveillance cameras!
“So, we could set things up in advance at the birthday party, Ms. Tanner!”
“How?”
“Get Cordelia somewhere without anyone as well, and then… you’ll have to suffer a little. Slap yourself a few times, and I’ll get people over to show everyone that Cordelia hit you!”
“Well…” The more Nelly listened to it, the more wrong it felt.
Why must she slap herself? To be pitiful? Even then, she did not want to do it. Moreover, she no longer dared trust Yelena’s tricks completely. It was just that she liked this plan, so she wanted to try it. What if it worked!?
“Ms. Tanner, you must act weak and pitiful by then!” Yelena went on. “Show everyone that Cordelia’s a violent woman! Everyone will take your side.”
Nelly contemplated and looked at her. “It’s a good idea, but…
“Yelena.” She adjusted her sitting position. “Our ultimate goal is to embarrass Cordelia at the party and for everyone to see that she’s b*tch, right?”
Yelena was startled and nodded.
“As long as we reach this goal, it doesn’t matter what the process is.”
“Ms. Tanner, you mean…”
“I’ll leave the mission of slapping yourself to you!”
Yelena paled and clenched her fists.
“Don’t worry. Just slap yourself hard!” Nelly was triumphant. “I’ll bring people over to watch you right away! Right, you need to act weak and pitiful, be merciless to yourself! Understand?”
Yelena was so angry that she was speechless.
She did not dare defy Nelly or retort her. She could only do as she said at the birthday party. However, she could not make peace with the fact that she was being ordered around as a pawn! It was really like shooting herself in her own foot!
“Yelena, do it well.” Nelly looked at her coldly and smiled. “I’ll invest more in your studio. Also, don’t you want to be Mrs. Hamerton too?
“I’ll speak more on your behalf to Yale.”
Nelly’s gaze was sinister as she said, “As long as you follow what I say, I won’t mistreat you!”
