Paine's game

Chapter 27 The Secret (2)

The more Maria spoke, the louder her voice became, and her tone became terrifying.

"If you can't do anything, then what use do I need you?"

Her terrifying appearance and cold, high-pitched voice frightened Anatasha and Drusula into quickly admitting their mistake and apologizing.

"Mom, we know we were wrong..."

"Hmph! I hope you really understand. Anyway, you'd better pray that Cinderella can be found tonight."

Dusula lowered her head, put her hands on her legs, and her body was trembling slightly. Her lips were pursed extremely tightly, as if she was suppressing the anger and fear in her heart.

Anatasha raised her head and looked directly at her mother.

"But mom..." Anatasha said hesitantly, "What if... we can't find it back?"

"What if I can't find it back?"

Maria showed a contemptuous smile.

"My good daughters, then you have to be careful. If Cinderella really goes away and never comes back, and you cannot win the love of the prince or any other nobles at the ball, then tragedy awaits you.

."

Drsula and Anatasha trembled at the same time.

The two of them are not stupid. Of course they understand the meaning of this sentence. The "tragedy" in Maria's mouth is not as simple as returning to the hungry life of their childhood. What they will face is worse than death.

An even worse fate.

No one will underestimate the weight of "tragedy" in a gypsy witch's words.

"So... what should we do?"

Anatasha gritted her teeth and asked, her eyes red, as if she was about to cry.

"What should I do? Haha..."

Maria narrowed her eyes, and a fierce color flashed in her eyes.

"We've reached this point, and you still don't know what you should do? Either follow Lennon and the others to search for Cinderella, or honestly put more effort into yourself and let the big shots at the ball take notice of you."
With that said, Maria stood up and patted the two of them on the shoulders.

"No matter what you two choose, act as soon as possible. You still have time now. Don't blame me as a mother for not helping you. I have already done the divination for you. After this dance, you both have a chance to get the prince's attention.

, behave well, my daughters."

This dangerously beautiful woman said a few words of encouragement to her two daughters with a smile on her face, then turned around and walked back into the house.

"I'm going back to rest first. Take control of your own destiny."

Her voice gradually faded away, and after a long time, the two sisters dared to raise their heads and looked at each other's pale faces. It was obviously not hot, but there was sweat on their foreheads.

"Sister, my mother was really scary just now. She scared me to death." Dusula said.

"Yeah." Anatasha wiped the sweat from her forehead, "She is getting more and more dangerous."

"She doesn't care about Green at all. It was us who got it wrong."

Dusula murmured, "She doesn't care about anyone. Do you think she cares about a comfortable material life? I still don't understand what she wants."

"Maybe she just hopes that we can never surpass her and be stepped on by her forever."

Anatasha remained silent.

"However, my mother's words reminded me..." Dusula suddenly raised her head, "We have another way."

"Huh?" Anatasha looked at her sister in surprise.
