ine turned her back on Souna, curled her lips in disdain, and made a face of disgust. Then, in a surprising twist, she spun around with a bright smile and said, “Alright, just honk the horn at the door tomorrow, and I’ll be down in five minutes.”


    Souna nodded and snapped her fingers with ir. “Let’s go, goodbye!”


    With that, she pressed the elerator and drove off.


    As ine made her way home, supported by Jacob, she vented her frustration. “That awful Souna! She embarrassed me in front of my mom today. I doubt she even knows her ownst name! God must really be blind to let someone like her make money!”


    Jacob replied nonchntly, “If you feel that way, just steer clear of her in the future. Don’t pay her any mind; don’t give her the chance to embarrass you again.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    ine shot back, “You don’t understand anything. Back when I was wealthy, even though Souna despised me, she followed me around like a shadow, calling me Sister ine this and Sister ine that. Do you know why?”


    Jacob nodded knowingly. “I get it. Don’t let her take advantage of you. Even though you two have different mothers, your temperaments and personalities are practically identical. If she were to invite you to dinner after crossing you, you’d probably go.”


    ine didn’t see Jacob’sment as mockery at all. Instead, she beamed with pride. “That’s called knowing when to bend and when to stand tall. No one should have trouble with money!”


    Then, she added, “Help me get back to the house quickly; I have something important to do!”


    Jacob immediately obliged, guiding ine into the house and up to the third floor.


    Once inside her room, ine shooed Jacob away and pulled out her cosmetics. She began to meticulously apply her makeup in front of the mirror.


    As she worked on her look, she muttered to herself, “Seriously, Souna, you think you’re so special just because you made some money from live streaming? It’s not like I don’t know how to do that too! I’ll start my own broadcast tonight! It won’t take long before I have more fans and earn more than you!”


    It had been a while since ine had taken the time to apply her makeup properly. However, she got a bit carried away, ending up with a heavy makeup look.


    Still, she gazed at her reflection, feeling pleased with herself. “Isn’t this so much prettier than Souna? She attracts fans by ying the victim, but I, ine, won’t be outdone! I can draw in plenty of fans just by showcasing my beauty!”


    At that moment, ire knocked on the door, calling out, “Mom, dinner is ready.” ine, not interested in food, replied dismissively, “I’m not hungry; you go ahead!”


    ire insisted, “You’ve been out all day; you really should eat something.”


    ine shrugged it off, saying, “I don’t feel like it. My legs aren’t great, and I don’t want to keep going up and down the stairs.”


    Understanding her mother’s stubbornness, ire quietly left and prepared a single dinner for ine, bringing it upstairs shortly after.


    Considering they were both women, ire didn’t knock when she entered. She walked in and said to ine, who was busy at the dressing table, “Mom, I didn’t have time to cook today, so I ordered some takeaway. Everything is delicious. Let me give you a little so you can eat it while it’s hot.”


    ine gestured nonchntly to the beanbag sofa and small table by the window. “Just put it there.”


    When ire saw ine’s heavy makeup, she instinctively stepped back in surprise. “Mom, why are you wearing so much makeup?”


    “Is it too much?” ine asked, ncing at her reflection. “I think it looks great.”


    ire hesitated, “But you’ve been out all day. Why put on makeup when youe back? Are you nning to go out again tonight?”


    ine quickly waved her hand. “I’m not going out; I’m just having some fun with makeup. So don’t worry about it!”<fnb941> Th?s chapter is updated by Find[?]ovel</fnb941>
