Tan sneered, but before he could say anything else, Aurora made it clear. She wasn't afraid of him or his sister.
"Don't push me, Ruby," she said, her tone colder now. "If I have to, I'll take this back myself."
Ruby hesitated for a moment, but finally, she handed the tiara back to Aurora, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Aurora took the crown and placed it carefully back in her hands. "Thank you," she said, her smile cold and victorious.
Seeing Aurora's victorious smile, Ruby suddenly felt an itch in her heart, not a real itch, but the kind that made her want to slap someone hard.
She clenched her fists and glared at Aurora's back as she sauntered away, walking with quiet pride, her tiara safely back in her hands. When Aurora finally disappeared into her room, Ruby gritted her teeth.
"…Just wait," she muttered in a tiny voice, barely above a whisper.
"Once we move into this house properly, we'll show every single Waters family member their place. We'll dominate them."
