Cassandra maintained a composed demeanor, the corners of her lips lifting slightly as she said, "Back then, I thought he and Amelia were truly a match made in heaven.
That's why I never stepped between them.
I don't have any regrets about it—now that I look back, I think I made the right choice."
"Yeah, at least she got to spend some happy moments with the one she loved.
Honestly, you're quite kind-hearted."
Beauty didn't hold back her admiration for the girl several years her senior.
At the very least, she found Cassandra genuine and unaffected.
The sudden praise caught Cassandra off guard, her finely arched eyebrows lifting in surprise.
A faint smile played on her lips as she replied, "I wouldn't say I'm kind-hearted.
It's just that I always felt I couldn't compare to Amelia.
She outshone me in everything since we were kids.
Maybe I got used to living in her shadow.
Looking back now, I realize it was just my own lack of confidence."
