"How could you talk to my parents that way!" The Host cried.
Sara rolled her eyes. After scolding that white lotus, the father had asked the butler to chase her away. Satisfied after seeing someone almost angered to death, she had gone upstairs happily. What she didn't expect was for this annoying voice to start scolding her.
"Technically, I didn't do a thing."
"You insulted them. How are you going to win back their love now?"
"I did no such thing. I only scolded that white lotus. She had it coming for her. How dare she call me sister so easily? Atleast, she should kowtow and offer some gifts first before I even consider putting her into the 'to be included in the wait-list' list."
"But you scolded my dad! Now they'll think more lowly of me!"
"Considering the fact that they all abandoned you in a hospital for almost two months... How more lowly could they think of you? You're already the lowest of the lowest in their eyes."
"You...?"
"Alright, alright, stop screaming. Tch, it's no wonder why they could easily get rid of you. You're too loud." Sara picked her ears.
The host retreated silently. She couldn't win over this venomous queen.
Sara entered into the Host's room and immediately ran back out. "What the?!"
She rubbed her eyes and took another peek into the room. Yes, it was still the same.
Please could someone tell her why the room of a so-called villainess was decorated in a sea of...
Pink?
Pink walls, pink bed covers, pink dresser, pink table, even the canopy on the bed was pink!
She looked at her feet on the pink rug and cringed. The closet door was also pink. Sara gritted her teeth and pulled it open to see...
Pink frilly dresses.
"Hehehe." She folded up the sleeves of her sweater. "Host come out here. We need to examine the moral values of man and the society."
And you are cracking your knuckles? The Host saw this and wisely retreated.
************
Sara stopped at the head of the stairs. A young lady stood silently at the foot of the stairs. Her brown hair fell softly around her face giving her a virtuous look. Sara had to admit, this white lotus looked really moving. She gave people the urge to protect her. She stared at Sara with pitiful eyes.
"Sis..."
A pair of eyes as back as ink bored into her face causing her to swallow her call of sister.
"Sara." She called instead. " I was just on my way to your room."
"Why?" Sara glared at her.
"Huh?"
"What do you want from me?"
"I wanted to check up on you after this afternoon. Dad didn't mean to chase you away. He was just angry."
"Really." Sara thought as she stared at the white lotus. She smiled, a slow curl of her lips that failed to light up her eyes. "So how do you plan to make it up to me?"
The white lotus seemed stunned for a second before she smiled. "Mum and I are going to the new Clementine mall that just opened at Zheng street."
Of course, Tara didn't have pure intentions. Few months back, Sara had offended the owner of Clementine causing her to be banned from all Clementine stores in the country.
"I know you've been banned from all the stores but I happen to have helped the owner of Clementine. She gave me the chance to bring two people over to the opening of her new store."
"Oh really?" Sara cocked an eyebrow. "That's good news."
Tara's smile stiffened. Why was this idiot acting out of character? Either ways, her goal was to get this idiot to follow them.
"If that's all, I'll be in the car." Sara walked out.
"Sister, won't you change your clothes?"
Sara thought of the pink frilly dresses and shivered. Outwardly, she smiled at Tara. "Don't you want to make it up to me? Then you'll be responsible for changing my closet."
"Sure." Tara agreed easily. Don't know what's wrong with this fool.
**************
Clementine stores was the most prestigious store in City A. Their clothes were mostly custom made; only a limited amount of clothes would be placed on sale.
In a month, it could be only twenty clothing sold in each store. That was how limited their clothing were.
Sara stretched as she got out of the car. She was still wearing the black shirt and black jeans that a nurse at the hospital had lent her. It fit her body like a glove, highlighting the places that should be highlighted and showing off her curves.
Several ladies couldn't help but stare enviously at that figure as she stepped into the mall but when they remembered who it belonged to, they sneered.
"If it isn't the fake daughter of the Zhen family." One voice said.
"No." Another lady tittered. "It should be criminal's daughter." The group of ladies laughed.
Sara stared at them with disgust. With one hand covering their mouths while they laughed in an attempt to act demure, they looked like a group of cackling birds. She told them this.
The ladies were stomped.
"Seems you haven't been taught a lesson yet." A lady in red walked over.
Sara looked her over. Short black hair, huge eyes, big lips... The face matched the memory in Sara's mind. This was Tara's best friend, Yang Mei.
Sara looked at certain parts in her body. Hmmm, just average.
"Your mother robbed Tara's parents of the chance to watch their children grow. Her daughter grows up to be a bully and terrorist, snatching chances from the real daughter and bullying her till she nearly falls into depression. I have to say, the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree." Yang Mei said.
Sara ignored her and headed for the sofa where people were seated. Tara gritted her teeth as she watched her go. She had been beside that fool all this while but yet nobody acknowledged her presence. She was far better than this fool, why was she always overshadowed by her everytime?
"Stop it Meimei." She put up a front and dragged her friend away.
"Tara, you're too generous. That's why this vicious fake daughter can take advantage of you!"
"It's not sister's fault. She was just a baby too then. Besides, she's still a daughter of the Zhen family and my sister! You have no right to insult her!"
"Don't tell me your parents plan to adopt that witch?" Yang Mei shouted angrily.
"Yes." Tara smiled happily. "Mother couldn't bear to abandon sister so she decided to adopt her. So she'll still be the First Miss of the Zhen family."
There was an uproar among the ladies.
"How dare she request to be called the First Miss?"
"She's just a fake, how can she bear the title of the First Miss? What right does she have?"
"Enough!" Tara angrily pulled away from Yang Mei. "You guys keep slandering my sister! If it's so, don't blame me for being rude!" She marched away.
The others looked at Tara and sighed. This girl was just like a little rabbit.
They had to protect her!
