635 Words
That evening, Cristina arrived at Annie's room with an air of regal authority, throwing her two attendant maids outside the door. "Watch the door. Don't let anyone in!" The two maids immediately responded, "Yes, Miss!" At this time, Annie had already been moved back to her own room by the household staff. After closing the door, Cristina turned on the lights. The room was fresh and comfortable, simple yet elegant. Annie lay on the bed with her eyes closed, breathing evenly, completely unaware of the impending danger... Seeing her serene sleeping face, Cristina’s expression twisted into one of malice. She wanted to tear it apart. It was a face of stunning beauty, with a youthful appearance, and her hair like a soft cloud spread across the pillow. —As the ancient saying goes, "The clouds yearn for clothing, and flowers yearn for beauty!" Cristina was consumed with hatred. Although the outside world was unaware, those who knew could see that she had already lost. “Ah, Cristina’s sister is so beautiful!” “I think if her sister had participated in the last beauty pageant, the champion would definitely not have been Cristina.” “Do you think Shanshan might be adopted? She looks nothing like her sister…” ... These were the comments made by Cristina’s female friends behind her back. But this was not the extent of her troubles. Annie was remarkably talented and had incredible knowledge of chemistry. The perfume she created became internationally renowned, with sales only second to the global luxury brand L&D’s perfume series! She was also so proud, looking down on any man who coveted her. Why should an orphan steal all the limelight from Cristina?! From then on, Cristina increasingly tormented her sister who had intruded into her life. “Hmph!” In the quiet room, Cristina snorted coldly, picking up a small porcelain bottle. She carefully poured out its contents and applied it to Annie’s white cheeks... She had prepared this for a long time and had always wanted to do this. The cold liquid made Annie frown in her sleep, and she dreamed of a familiar scene: She was in a garden, searching everywhere for the person she loved. As she grew more anxious, someone from behind splashed her face with a cold drink. She turned around to see a man with an innocent smile, “Annie, you always look for me…” She looked at him excitedly, “Brother , where have you been?” The sunlight was so bright that it blinded her to his face and made her cheeks start to burn! The dream began to fade... The area on Annie’s face where the liquid was applied began to turn red, as if it had been burned... “Mmm… Ahhh!!” She suddenly cried out in pain, waking up. She opened her eyes in discomfort and saw Cristina sitting at the bedside, laughing heartily! A bad premonition washed over her. This was a woman who spoke sweetly but acted ruthlessly. “Cristina? What have you done?!” Annie exclaimed, clutching her burning face in anger. Cristina looked at the red rash covering Annie’s cheeks, laughing uncontrollably, “Ahahaha… Oh, nothing much. Just made a little adjustment because your sister used to look like such a vixen!” Her face was now almost unrecognizable. In high spirits, Cristina even 'kindly' handed Annie a mirror to admire herself. The room was filled with more screams, and the two maids outside couldn’t help but glance in... Annie was on the brink of collapse. Which woman could remain calm when faced with such a horrific sight? She threw the mirror angrily, “You insane woman! How much more do you want from me?!” “Not enough! Who told you to come into my house?!”
