Renee Jennings sat on a pile of leaves, gnawing on her steamed bun and pickled vegetables. Directly across from her was Naomi Kenway's lavish spread.
Renee Jennings snorted softly, then took another vicious bite of her bun. Watching Naomi Kenway enjoy herself was more painful than death.
"Mom, I'm a little thirsty. This bun is so dry..."
Nathan Lynch coughed a couple of times.
Renee Jennings's eyes lit up. This was the perfect chance to show off the water filtration techniques she'd practiced in advance. She quickly stood up and straightened her clothes. "Nathan, just wait a minute. Mommy will go get you some water right now."
Chelsea Raines always listened to Renee Jennings. She and her son were also gnawing on steamed buns. Since the buns weren't a day old yet, they were still soft, but compared to Naomi Kenway's food, it left a bad taste in her mouth.
"Fools have fool's luck..." Chelsea Raines muttered under her breath.
