“Mia said you wanted to make peace with us?” Zoe looked at me suspiciously.
“Yeah, we’re just students after all. Shouldn’t we focus on our studies?”
Hearing me say this, Zoe clearly let her guard down. She strode in, with Mia following closely behind.
On the dining table was the dinner prepared by our housekeeper.
My parents stood nearby, greeting the two.
“It’s good that you came, it’s good that you came.”
My mom walked over with a smile full of barely concealed excitement and joy.
“I was worried you wouldn’t come.”
“Since Lily took the initiative to make peace, of course we’d come, right Mia?”
Zoe’s smile was dry and a bit fake.
After dinner, Zoe started wandering around our villa.
She went upstairs and stood at the door of my sister’s room. Just as she was about to turn the doorknob, I led her into my room.
She stared at my walk–in closet, her mouth hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.
“Are all these just for you?”
“Yeah.”
“This dress is so pretty. Can I try it on?”
Without waiting for my agreement, she took off her own clothes and started browsing my
closet.
“This one’s nice. This one too.”
Mia, on the other hand, became more restrained. She sat on the bed, not moving at all.
When Zoe was done dressing up, I leaned in and coaxed her:
“Want to check out the basement? There are even better things down there.”
Zoe followed me without a second thought.
It wasn’t until she saw what was in the basement backyard that she froze.
Zoe covered her mouth with both hands, trembling as she asked, “What… what is this?”
“This is the secret to maintaining our beauty. Want to try it?”
Her face, already pale, turned an ashen gray.
“This is illegal! This is illegal!”
Zoe’s lips were pale and bloodless. A hoarse sound escaped her throat.
“What… what are you going to do?”
S
“As you can see, bad seeds like you should bear even sweeter, more nourishing fruit.”
The once high and mighty Zoe plopped down on the ground. “I won’t bother you anymore, Can you let me go? I was really wrong. I’m begging you…”
Suddenly feeling playful, I said, “Okay.”
“Then you hold her down and plant this in her leg, just like the others.”
I pointed at Mia.

Mia’s mouth fell open involuntarily, revealing her chattering teeth. “Didn’t you say if I brought Zoe here, you’d let me go? You lied!”
Hearing this, a wave of anger surged through Zoe.
. Without a word, she grabbed Mia’s hair.
The two quickly started fighting.
This scene was quite amusing.
My parents were also watching with great interest.
Soon, Mia was overpowered. She was pinned down by Zoe.
Zoe took the knife from my hand almost without hesitation.
She stabbed it into Mia’s thigh.
Mia passed out from the pain.
But Zoe continued, stabbing again and again.
Mia’s thigh became a bloody mess. The air seemed to grow thick and sticky.
Only after the sapling was planted in Mia’s leg did Zoe let out a sigh of relief.
“Can I go home now?”
“Mm, you can.”
She picked up her skirt, stumbling as she tried to rush out the door.
But my mom kicked her to the ground.
“I didn’t say you could leave.”
