The store is showcasing new products.
After browsing around, Evelyn stopped in front of the engagement ring section, her eyes

Though Mia had just been discharged from the hospital and had applied makeup, it couldn’t completely
conceal the fatigue on her face.
Upon seeing Evelyn, Mia’s eyes immediately filled with intense hatred.
“What a coincidence, my dear sister Mia came out for shopping,” Evelyn looked at her with a
smile.
“Evelyn, don’t go too far!” Emily shielded Mia behind her, “Haven’t you done enough harm to
Mia?”
Ha, enough? How did Mia treat her in her previous life?

Evelyn being beaten and scolded on the large screen, in grand scenes and close–ups, for a full
two hours.
Compared to this, it was like a small fish meeting a big whale.
Now, Mia wished she could tear Evelyn’s smiling face apart, but she couldn’t. She always
pretended the weak one, the one to be pitied.
“Evelyn, you…” Emily was about to say something when Angela waved her hand to stop her from

“Emily, don’t speak nonsense. Evelyn used to have a hobby of shopping for jewelry. The rings In her
room are not worse in quality than the ones here?
“How could she afford rings before?” The Taylor family’s pocket money was definitely not enough for so
many. “Unable to afford them, yet having rings at home… Could it be…”
Emily’s eyes changed, and the saleswoman’s complexion changed too. She placed the ring she had
just taken out as far away from Evelyn as possible.
Mia was pleased with the saleswoman’s reaction, but she immediately showed panic, pretending that
she had accidentally revealed something.
“Emily, my sister is not a thief.” She anxiously approached Evelyn, “Evelyn, believe me, I didn’t

Evelyn clearly felt the zipper of her bag being opened slightly. She smirked almost imperceptibly. Trying
to frame her again?
Evelyn observed Mia’s changes from the corner of her eye, while continuing to focus on selecting rings
at the counter.
