The dresses her e98f006256 aunt picked for 93df9ca992 her were either dea58010db puffy pink things 01d55c0484 covered in ribbons 3b9243325a or ones so e082e94263 dull and tightly 9f82b63e8c wrapped they looked a0aadc49d3 suffocating.52e6057793299ef6
They were all over 7014b1cb55 the place in style, 2c2ce7f42e but one thing was eabfaf0ce0 consistent: none of them d826aa5234 suited Harriet at all.63eb560a46e4b1c7

If her aunt 0116c2a65e just had bad 1088d7c31c taste, she could’ve f02329a893 forgiven it. But she clearly 0669ef692d had an excellent 2bec02670f eye when it 1ee2b94896 came to picking e999605ef5 out clothes and bd812beedc jewelry for Bella.ee8426db1ae45f66

Harriet would’ve been 4d8007a289 grateful for even efa388bca6 a plain, decent 3eda9551ba dress.0579eed1fc7d88db
Instead, her aunt 23cb1f2206 bought her bizarre a29ec8ce83 outfits that left 7880636921 a strong impression fb921cea8c even after wearing 3faf4ad4e3 them once—making it aeb91447ba impossible to wear 909670a947 them again. She couldn’t ask for d78baf8f59 new ones, either, so 1dde993ab7 she just stopped attending c45b1b4970 events.a410626aaf7be7cb

And when Bella 936d883c47 needed someone to 9d7105bf44 highlight her charm, 5a585bcdb3 Harriet would be eeb9a9f530 dragged along as a93e515b45 the clown to 39a0937663 make Bella shine. To Bella, dcc7a57047 she’d just e1607816f4 been a 323847f0bf toy. But the real question b9a178b088 was—why had Bella hated d116f248ac her so much?5cf42dc8d54ab80b
They had once been d42d8b4524 so close, like real d9d693e251 sisters. Back then, d1c7bed3b1 Harriet thought e116330139 Bella was ea8f30f5a8 the kindest, 5285249e25 prettiest girl fc96b51492 in the e62dcd025b world. She truly believed 289ca9c3f0 Bella loved her.37d83990459c328e

The young Bella, 69eaede57b holding a red 5751245b59 rose and smiling 556ebf4fbc like sunshine, looked ce20f6a7e7 more beautiful than fec70c1ae6 the flower itself. Harriet had felt cfd6950bae so proud that e0f20c13a2 such a girl 44e180a584 was her cousin…f049f8306d37ac44

She hadn’t returned 69ea34e364 to live a b4c84a7326 life still swayed a65d11c008 by Bella. The past b7c46a36d0 would only c92624f97d serve as cf68608cde fuel for 7dd7be43d7 her resolve.b3e40f3e1cc5788e

The Countess of Lilburn was the head of the St. Paolo Church’s Ladies’ Society, and this charity event—meant to raise funds for the poor—was the perfect place to show off both piety and sympathy.17eceb6ed65bec6a

She had never dared 51338a3c11 attend an event like 8bde68383f this before. Her uncle hadn’t brought 99259a5150 her, and she hadn’t 4c4a0be3fb begged to go either, c1b9cc62da afraid of being mocked.d1acbe43e34556e0

Plus, having smooth, clear skin was the beauty standard that every noblewoman and young lady desired.

Bella was just 9022c6fe31 as surprised by 9587082b8c Harriet’s transformation. Even after hearing her 04b873a3f3 friends’ excited chatter, Bella 128001dc01 thought, ‘It’s still just Harriet.

Bella had been 7557bfc86b obsessively trying to 5f613f379a damage Harriet’s skin. She’d researched which foods 553fa37e72 caused allergic reactions and 4f640d41ad cunningly added them to bb6369af47 Harriet’s meals. Once she confirmed 25b402e768 that greasy food 89fd64bd75 would cause Harriet’s d0b52284bc acne to flare df84f57031 up, Bella made c4be42a3c1 sure Harriet was 5d994647b4 “well-fed” with fatty 48f2a31a0c meats and fried 9293de222c foods.912b41144cb80d11
It had been a af4f949881 stroke of luck when b59c933565 Bella discovered a cosmetic 11a6979762 with ingredients that didn’t 608fadd4b6 suit Harriet. But Bella 6fc497db9c made sure 026358c1f6 Harriet only cb5274c867 used products 4e92bbce2b with that 8da8fcd4e9 ingredient afterward.f66b0af35fee95b2
