“Oh, it’s nothing. Winifred just got lucky,” Sienna replied modestly.

But Yvonne wasn’t ready to let it go. “Miss Enna, did you sign Winifred up for any special classes, or maybe hire a mentor? Mind sharing. your secret? I’d love for my girl to learn a thing or two as well.”

Sienna shook her head. “No.

Winifred kept a cool expression, but

just always had a knack for painting, and she works hard at it.”

Ms Mr MM Wy the Min Ho Me inside, she was bursting with pride.

Yvonne sighed dramatically, “That’s so

Rowena’s such a loser. I’ve been training her since she was little, but what does she paint?

“She’s had so many famous teachers, but she just doesn’t have the talent. All that money spent on her, and she’s still not as good as Winifred.”

Yvonne’s words were like sharp knives, stabbing into Rowena’s heart. She clenched her fists tightly.

A

place is already an outstanding achievement. She has remarkable poteery, Sienna glanced at Rowena, her tone cool but reassuring. “No, pa’s

Sienna’s words were like a spring of water, flowing into Rowena’s heart. Instinctively, Rowena looked. up and met Sienna’s cool, indifferent gaze, yet there wasn’t a hint of disdain in her eyes.

“Potential? Please, it’s all just money I’ve poured into her. She just lazes around all day and never takes her studies seriously,” Yvonne grumbled.

Winifred lazily lifted her eyelids and shot Yvonne a look of disdain. “She came in second out of tens of thousands, and you still think that’s not good enough? What? Were you some kind of art master in your past life or something?”

Yvonne’s face went from red to pale, and Sienna said, “Please don’t take it to heart,” before leading Winifred away.onem un magand

Yvonne glared at Winifred with resentment. ‘No manners at all; what a girl with no upbringing, she wondered, ‘No wonder she’s just some street rat who grew up in the slums. Someone like her actually got first place? How infuriating.”

“Mom, I still have piano lessons this afternoon,” Rowena said, her voicę low.

Before Rowena could finish, there was a sharp smack as Yvonne slapped her right across the face in front of everyone. The burning pain made Rowena’s body shudder.

“That really hurts, she thought.

Yvonne snapped, “Practice my ass. You’re at it all day, but you still can’t measure up. Why did I even bother having you? You can’t even beat Winifred, who’s not even famous.

“She dropped out for two years, comes back, and snatches first place right away. Raising you was a waste–useless thing.”

“Why are you still standing there? Get back and practice the piano. If you dare come in second again, you can forget about eating,” Yvonne added.

Rowena lowered her eyes, silently enduring her mother’s rage. Only when her mother finally stopped pointing and criticizing her did she look up, her eyes completely blank, emotionless, numb, like a puppet on strings.

That hollow stare made Winifred, who had come back to grab something she’d forgotten, freeze for a second.

While Winifred was still in a daze, Rowena brushed right past her, face expressionless, still wearing that same icy, unapproachable look. She said nothing.

Winifred glanced at Rowena and asked, “Rowena was always number one before, right?”

Olivia nodded. “Yeah, Winifred, you didn’t know? Well, I guess you wouldn’t; after all, you’ve been away from school for almost two years, so there are things you missed.

“Rowena’s called the number one genius girl for a reason; it’s not just empty talk. She’s seriously amazing, won a ton of awards, and she’s basically a master at everything, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, you name it.”

Olivia lowered her voice and leaned closer to Winifred. “She has a super strict mom. I saw it in Ms. Green’s office last time. Even though Rowena is already so incredible, her mom. just kept saying she wasn’t good enough.”

Sylvie stared at Winifred’s name, her eyes burning with jealousy.

Sylvie wondered, ‘Winifred, you must be feeling so proud of yourself right now, huh? Everything that’s happened to me is all your If I have to suffer, then don’t even think about having it easy,

“Is it done yet?” Sylvie called out. As she spoke, a man crawled out from
