"Abandoned as a child, she suffered a lot. So, you must treat her well."
I didn't respond to Laura but pulled my hand out.
Then, I put my hand before my nose, saying with disgust, "Mom, she stinks. Does she have any disease? How about we just send her away?"
Hearing my words, Maria's expression changed.
What she had always cared about most was her appearance. So, she must be unpleasant to be despised like this.
Laura tapped my head with a disapproving expression. "What nonsense are you talking about? Maria looks fine. How could she be sick?"
"Remember, you can't bully Maria."
I nodded helplessly, but my face was still full of disgust.
"Since she was healthy, why she was abandoned? It must be her parents' fault.
"Her mother is really a piece of shit. She should be struck by lightning and hit by a car while going out. Moreover, she only deserves to live her life in a dark corner forever.
"Isn't that right, Mom?"
Raising an eyebrow, I looked at Laura.
She could hardly control her expression at this moment.
After all, she lived a wealthy life and never been scolded by others.
Moreover, she was scolded, but she couldn't get angry.
Laura took a long time to adjust herself before she smiled again. Then, she looked at me with a hint of blame.
"Stop talking nonsense, Amelia. That woman is Maria's mother, so you cannot say that anymore."
Spreading my hands and nodding, I showed that I understood.
After that, Maria left me alone and skillfully pulled Maria upstairs.
Looking at the intimate backs of Laura and Maria, I couldn't help but sneer and unconsciously clench the things in my hands.
After staying at my house for a few days, Maria said she wanted to go to school.
Maria was one year younger than me. And she was not good at studying.
But Laura still managed to get her into the class I was in with money.
In my previous life, I thought that it was because Laura wanted me to take care of Maria. So, I was kind enough to introduce my friends to her.
However, it made it easier for her to take everything from me.
While stepping into the classroom, Maria attracted everyone's attention.
She was dressed in a simple white dress. Paired with her innocent face, she quickly attracted the boys in the class.
So, finishing class, all the boys rushed over to chat with her.
My deskmate and best friend, Nora White, couldn't stand it.
