"But..." Annie was about to say more when she spotted a familiar figure not far away. She quickly recognized Winter and Suzy, chatting and laughing as they shopped.
Annie clenched her fists, her eyes turning bloodshot as she stared at their backs. She wanted to rush over, but Cindy grabbed her just in time. "Annie, what are you trying to do?

She had always considered Winter and Suzy her best friends, but they had abandoned and even used her at a critical moment. Her brother had told her that if Noelle had not been lucky enough to get rescued in time, she would have died from poisoning.

"Annie? Annie?" Cindy looked anxiously at her daughter, noticing Annie's pale face. "If you don't want to shop, we can go back. I'll take you home!" "Mom, I'm fine!"

ie. "You want to talk? I Eve don't think we have anything to dan't!! discuss." "Don't you want to know why you were bitten by that snake? And about my face..." Annie said, touching her scarred cheek. Noelle was silent for a moment. She
disliked dealing with people like Annie Annie was close to Winter, and she might use Winter's tricks against her.
