That was all Phoebe needed to hear. Her face flushed with rage, and her hands began to tremble slightly.
How dare she? Phoebe seethed inwardly. Then, a twisted smile curved her lips.
"How dare you... Do you want to die!?" she screamed, making the girl lower her head in fear. Her eyes shimmered with tears.
