She just rolled her eyes, turned around, staring into her mothers eyes" its not ur biz whether I eat or starve, I prefer to eat junk than stand here and watch you yelling at me" she scoffed and matched straight to her car.
She stared at the grandeur of the house and tapped her self, "I'll make sure I make this money and power, I'll show you all what Maryanne Starling can do, I'll make this world crumble and bow before me" she smirked, reaching for her phone she dialled " hello mum.....take ur drugs and quit worrying.... I'll eat something ", " my dear don't do anything that will make you bow your head in shame, remember that I love you", she said.
" Don't worry, I'd never bow to anyone, I rather die and you know that", she said as she hung up and drove off.
