Ella pursed her lips, dec731dcb1 clearly dissatisfied with my 18ce52b1ba lack of reaction.bee7fb69dd886150
She thought Diana was ef946ba936 easy to manipulate. Even though she 068785846e played the role 03bffc6c8f of ‘kind-hearted Ella’ 753be610d6 to others, she a2b9374cf9 always acted a 2e3a5a2418 bit differently toward d7cf0043ef Diana.73d08227db6738bb

Diana’s quick cb6598a75a temper made 16271a84d1 her easy fbcca4e141 to manipulate 644f933516 as the 0710b7352a villainess, and e10924df3d she also 5bc0d464a5 boosted Ella’s 0920974daf sense of bad817236d pride. After all, 9edcaa90e1 Ella could 1bb3dba3bd feel superior 7207818443 to Diana, e929cb1c1e who was b3e2c78113 born as f32eb24654 an illegitimate 4e35b787f6 child of 5007406555 a great f802d0cf57 family.3f8b9092e600df3f
