Judith's jaw twitched as she noticed Leona's eyes sweeping over her body from head to toe, assessing how she had grown and looked. Leona hadn't changed much in the past two decades, except there were fewer wrinkles on her face and her hair wasn't silver. Leona appeared to be well-off; her clothing exuded wealth.
"You've matured decently." Leona's voice was thick with accent and elegance, and she spoke monotonously.
"And you seem to have trapped someone wealthy." Judith sneered blankly and noticed Leona's fingers clutching her designer handbag.
"Won't you invite me inside?" Leona inquired, and Judith raised an eyebrow.
"Why would I?"
"Because I came to visit you."
"You dropped at my door unannounced. And you're uninvited back in my life."
"I have no desire to intrude on your life."
"You wouldn't have shown up at my door if that were the case," Judith said casually with a straight face, and Leona's indifferent mask began to crack.
"I came here just to talk."
"There is nothing to talk about, Leona!" Judith said indifferently as she noticed Leona's cold mask cracking with frustration.
"There is. And I'd like you to invite me inside so that we can talk privately."
"As entitled as ever I see."
"It appears that America hasn't taught you how to respect others." Leona gritted her teeth.
"Respect is supposed to be for people, not for skunks."
Judith noticed Leona's jaw clenching and nostrils flare in rage.
"I never expected you to be so disrespectful!"
"You didn't even expect me to be alive. But here we are!" Judith said indifferently, and she noticed Leona's eyes twinkle slightly, but she kept her cool and said.
"I only need a few moments. Let's talk, and I'll leave."
"You can say it right here and leave if it's only a few minutes and a few words." Leona chuckled and shook her head in response to her words. "You're just as obstinate as I am. After all, I gave birth to you, carried you for nine months and named you βρωμιά Marilyn." [Vromiá]
"It's Judith Callahan, Leona."
"You didn't even keep the name!" She exclaimed and Judith chuckled. "Why would I?"
Leona hissed as her jaw clenched.
"I'll get right to it. I want you to stay away from him."
"Who?" Judith inquired.
"Drazhan Agnor."
"And why would I do that?" Judith raised her brow.
"Because you have no idea who he is! What he is!"
"And you do?"
"Yes, I do. So does Ivy. He'd be better off staying with Ivy." Leona's voice was monotonous, and Judith's eyes grew cold.
"Drazhan has been with her for a couple of years, and I'd like to keep it that way. You barged in and nudged him away, but I'd like you to leave and let him go."
"Entitled much!" Judith stated coldly, crossing her arms across her chest. "I'm guessing this Ivy is your daughter."
"Yes, she is! And she is bawling her eyes out currently. She hasn't been out of her room in days! Especially after seeing your picture with Drazhan all over the magazines!" Leona yelled.
