Beauty had been recuperating at home for a week and could already walk around, though the wound on her knee hadn't fully healed.
Still, she was overjoyed by this progress.
Unexpectedly, an uninvited guest arrived.
The moment she heard the voice, she knew it was Nathalie.
*This woman really has no shame,* she thought to herself.
*Even after how Lucas treated her, she still hasn't given up.
* Dressed in a long skirt, Beauty descended the stairs.
Hearing the sound, both Nathalie and Laura turned to look at her.
Laura sneered with undisguised contempt, "I thought some people would be crippled for life!
How convenient that you're putting on such a pitiful act in front of my brother—just to make him feel sorry for you.
What a scheming woman!" Beauty ignored her and headed to the kitchen to grab a plate of freshly baked cookies before making her way back upstairs.
