Rebecca's voice was dripping with feigned sweetness and desperation as she sniffled and relayed her sob story, prompting Leonard, ever the first-time lover, to rush to her aid with fervent assurances.
The call ended abruptly, leaving a heavy silence in its wake.
Rebecca put on a wounded expression, her eyes narrowing with contempt as she looked at me.
"Did everyone hear that? My boyfriend said he only loves me. This homewrecker is clearly trying to sabotage our relationship. Ugh, my heart is breaking."
The crowd, now more inflamed with righteous anger, grew even more incensed.
"This Amelia is so stupid. Even after seeing how in love they are, she still tried to seduce him."
"I gotta admit, even though she's old and dumb, she's got a decent look. With that figure, if she was working the streets, I might be tempted."
"Dream on! A woman like that is only out to snag a rich, handsome guy like Leonard. Do you really think she'd bother with someone like you?"
"Seriously, if she's aiming for a rich guy like Leonard, she's got her own agenda. She's not as dumb as she looks."
