Hearing the name of the vile man who dared to hit her, Alianna snapped her head to Lexi and raised a brow. "What?!"
Her question was only one word but Katherine could taste the bitterness of it. Looking at Alianna, Katherine could see both anger and anxiety.
"Don't mind her, Ali… It's not worth getting worked up over. Let's just go," Katherine said as she held Alianna's arm and nudged her to go. The store that they went to didn't have a lot of customers inside but despite the large space and luxurious design, she started to feel claustrophobic with Lexi in the same room as them.
Alianna nodded and decided to leave with Katherine, however, Lexi didn't want to let them go just like that. Feeling like Katherine was taking everything away from her, Lexi got irritated — so she scoffed and held them back, turning towards Katherine as she asked, "Why are you so against me? Can't you see that I'm talking to Ali?"
