Chapter 21
"I've told you what you have to do! Otherwise, you can't go! I just want the four of you to know that I treat you equally, whoever is guilty will definitely be punished without exception!"
"But Ella didn't even get punished for the mess she caused yesterday!"
"Who said? I handed over some of her jewelry as compensation for the clothes and bicycle she stole."
"You've got to be kidding me, Mother!" Jannet did not accept such a one-sided confession. All she knows is that mother will definitely defend me.
Mother looked at her for a moment with a look that Jannet would never want to see in her life. Jannet's insistence on her opinion seemed to make her mother even more annoyed with her.
"It's up to you to believe it or not! I told you, Jannet! If you want to be a respectable woman of high class. Try to improve yourself, instead of constantly being jealous of your sister. That will only make you look even more pathetic!" She said as she walked away.
Jannet's hands were clenched and shaking, she was too stubborn to listen to other people's advice. Meanwhile, I, who didn't know what the real problem was between mother and daughter, could only look at them as if I was looking at my mother and sister in the past.
Like Dejavu, it seems like something like this has happened in the past. However, what was different at that time was that I was defended because I was the only boy in the family who, even though I was useless, was still the one my mother loved the most. Strange, this is the first time I feel sorry for Jannet's position.
***"You're satisfied, right? You must be laughing because in the end mom still defended you!" She said with wet eyes. Her face was red with anger, I hope she doesn't hit me again this time.***
***"It's your fault, why did you hit me?"***
***"Damn, you're really annoying! Just watch, I'll spare you!"***
***"Who cares? Who would expect forgiveness from an ugly girl like you?"***
***"What are you saying-"***
***"Jannet, Ella, stop it...! How long are you two going to be like this? If you stay like this, mother will definitely get even angrier!" Emily said. Meanwhile Marie just nodded in agreement.***
***"Emily is right, we are going to a party! If people know that the daughters of the Marquitas Family don't get along, they will definitely look bad at our family!" Marie said.***
***"The only thing that makes this family look bad is her...!"***
***"What did you say? You're being left alone and it's getting worse, aren't you?" My patience was starting to run out when facing this ugly girl with a sharp mouth. Looks like I have to teach her a valuable lesson.***
***"Ella, stop...! Never mind! Oh my gosh, you really can't let it go, can you?"***
***"Tch, okay Emily, let's go! At the party, we'll dance together, okay?" I said while pulling Emily's hand away from Jannet, the annoying girl.***
***"Ella, what did you say?"***
***"I'm a little curious what the nobles' party is like. Are there many beautiful girls there? I hope there are beautiful, big-breasted girls who-"***
***"Ella, what did you say?" Emily glared at me with a look that showed she was shocked by what I said.***
***"Oops."***
When my feet stepped out of the horse-drawn carriage, my hand was immediately greeted by a man in a tuxedo who helped me to walk. This man seemed very polite, but to me, this felt ridiculous.
"Hey man, what are you doing? I can walk by myself!" I said.
"Ella, be elegant!" Said the witch who was standing right next to me.
"But this strange man wants to hold my hand!"
"Tsk, stupid dasae!" Jannet teased me with a chuckle. Damn it, I let her think that I looked like an idiot.
When my feet stepped over the steps, I almost slipped because my shoes weren't buckled. I'm still not used to wearing high heels and wearing long dresses like this. Apart from being narrow and suffocating, my body also felt very itchy.
"Oh, it's hot, these clothes are really hot. I don't like it, it's hot. My crotch is even sweating. Why do these women look fine wearing clothes like this? Are they not human?" I thought. I gave up my intention to see what a noble party was really like, I would rather leave this place, shirtless while drinking a bottle of cold beer.
"Oh my gosh, I want to drink beer with ice cubes. It sure tastes very refreshing."
"Ella? Ella? Ella, are you okay?"
"I want to drink cold beer, I want two bottles of cold beer." I muttered. The thought of cold beer makes me start to hallucinate.
"Ella, are you okay?" Asked Emily who was standing in front of me. Her face looked worried, it was clear she was really worried about me.
"Emily, can I have a beer now?"
"Beer? What do you mean?"
"I'm thirsty, this dress is very hot and the corset makes me suffocated."
"Oh my God, I thought this was your favorite dress. You were the one who asked mom to buy this dress for you at that time!"
"Really? I asked the witch to buy me a curtain to wear? You've got to be kidding me, right?"
"Ella, I think you-"
Just before Emily finished her sentence, my eyes caught the beautiful view behind her. A beautiful girl with blonde hair with blue eyes whose face is very beautiful.
