Paine's game

"Do it! Why not do it?!"

Old Tom, the mandrill, was aroused by Paine's words and was forced to show some blood. However, as soon as he was upset, the cruel words he blurted out became a joke the next moment.

"This... what are you going to do? That shrew Maria is really not easy to mess with."

Probably catching the disdain in Paine's eyes, Old Tom quickly explained: "It's not that I'm timid, it's that Maria, that shrew, is really not simple! Because although her father is just a businessman, her mother is a gypsy witch!

Therefore, she has some abilities. I heard that she is very good at divination and mind reading. These two things are very helpful to Green's business, so she can live in Green's house openly..."

"Heard? Have you seen it?"

Paine himself knew how to confuse people, but he couldn't use it on this mandrill. He didn't believe that Cinderella's stepmother could do this. If so, Cinderella, who was resentful towards her, would now be afraid that there would be three meters of grass on her grave.

High.

"That's not true. I've only heard that I usually look at that shrew from a distance at most."

The mandrill of love is still a very stable monster and does not dare to take risks at all.

"That's it. You just heard about it. How would you know if you don't try it?"

Paine tried his best to fool the monster, "I have a foolproof idea..."

At the same time, a farce is taking place in the Green's backyard.

Maria directed several servants to spread all the piles of charcoal ash on the ground. The few people were meticulous and sweating profusely, looking for something in them.

"Mrs. Maria, Cinderella must have sorted out all the beans. It's futile to continue searching."

A middle-aged man wearing a butler's uniform bowed to Maria and said.

"Humph, since Butler Lennon said so, then stop, you bunch of useless things! Get out of here and work!"

Maria dismissed the servants with a wave of her hand, and then said to Cinderella, who was standing aside, "Cinderella, maybe your little tricks can fool other people, but you can't even think of fooling me. These beans are not your own."

Picked out from the ash, right?"

"I picked it myself."

Cinderella lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at her stepmother.

"Humph, you don't have to pretend to be so pitiful. Do you think you can get away with such a little trick? No way! You dirty girl!"

She kicked over the bowl of lentils next to her.

"You don't have to waste your efforts. No matter what you do, I won't let you go! You don't have a dress and you can't dance. If you go, you will only embarrass us!"

Maria said with disdain.

"I won't be embarrassed, I can take a bath, and I can figure out the dress myself. Maria! You promised me! As long as I pick out all the beans, you promised to let me go to the ball!"
Cinderella was shaking all over, but she still mustered up the courage to grit her teeth and replied that she really didn't want to miss this opportunity, even if it would greatly offend Maria.

"You!"

Maria pointed at Cinderella, looking like she wanted to kill her.

At this time, Cinderella raised her head and stared at her stepmother with eyes full of stubbornness and hatred.

"You promised me!"

"Really? So what! I regret it!"

Maria angrily threw down these words and left arrogantly. Cinderella was left standing there with a look of grievance.

Only Cinderella and the butler Lennon were left in the backyard.

"Uncle Lennon, I...wuwuwu...what do you think I should do?!"
