"Addie, why didn't you wait for me? Are you still upset that I told Dad you went out with Myrtle instead of celebrating your birthday with us?"
Adrienne stared at her with clear, bright eyes, contrasting her once dim, and self-conscious gaze. Seeing this pair of eyes, Elise suddenly didn't know how to react.
Adrienne retracted her gaze and lowered her head, not wanting Elise to see the vicious and murderous intent on her eyes. How could she forget that this young woman in front of her was the reason why Myrtle ended up as a drug addict, leading to her having a child out of wedlock before eventually dying at childbirth?
The sight of Myrtle's lifeless body on the hospital bed and a premature baby crying nonstop to get his mother's attention had been imprinted on Adrienne's memory. Burying the remains of her best friend had been traumatizing for her. All of it happened because of this scheming woman in front of her.
