“Elena, why the hell did you drag me along with you?”
Ava sat on the ground and looked at the scratch on her palm; she almost cried with anger. That bloody woman! Why would she drag her along the slope where they accidentally had tumbled off? Elena’s injury was even more severe than Ava’s. Her elbow had hit something, and it felt terribly painful.
“Didn’t you say that someone had dragged Layla here?”
She glanced at Ava. They had tumbled off down the slope before they landed on the ground. None of them could get up just yet.
“I was kind enough to tell you. Is this how you’d repay me?” Ava felt like she wanted to hit her.
She had wanted to slap Elena, but she underestimated Elena’s fight or flight response! Not only did she not manage to hit Elena, but she received a slap in return. Ava was at a disadvantage because she had no one around to help her. There was nothing else she could do besides crying and cursing at Elena.
“How do I know if it’s not one of your tricks?” Elena stood up and tried to look around her surrounding area.
Ava told her that some girls had dragged Layla into the woods, and Elena had not been able to find her. There was no one around to confirm that it was not one of Ava’s schemes, so Elena had to bring her along with her. Ava had agreed with her request because she wanted to see a good show. It was apparent that the girls took Layla because they wanted to exact their revenge on Elena.
However, they only saw those girls when they went into the woods. As the girls chased after them, they entered into a strange place, and it got even weirder as they went further in. Eventually, they reached a slope. Someone pushed Elena over it, and Elena had managed to grab hold on Ava before she fell. That was how they ended up together at the bottom of the slope.
Ava also stood up. She knew that she would not be able to fight Elena, so she decided not to offend her too much. She could wait to do that when they were back at the ship.
After a few steps forward, Ava accidentally stepped into a pit by accident. There was some strange weed in the hole, and she felt a sharp pain on her ankles. She was still in her bikini, and so she did not have much fabric to protect her body.
“Argh!” Ava screamed pitifully. “Help! Help me quickly! I’m in pain!”
Elena looked around at her before she called out, “Who are you calling for?”
“Who else could I call besides you?” Ava realized that she had been fooled after she answered the question. How stupid of her to fall for such an old trick!
“Come and help, my foot hurts!” Ava exclaimed.
Elena just looked at her coldly without any intention to help her.
“How big is the pit? Can’t you get up on your own? You’re so used to being waited upon that you think you’d have the same treatment here?”
Did she expect Elena to wipe her feet after she got them dirty? That woman had always lived in her own fantasy world as she dreamed of a life as a princess or an empress. Perhaps, even a queen? How ridiculous!
Ava was flushed with anger and bellowed angrily, “I am your sister!”
“I am also your sister. My feet are dirty. Why don’t you come and lick it clean for me?”
“Elena! You… You weren’t like this before!” Ava burst into tears.
If she had not mentioned the past, Elena might still pity her and helped her out of the pit. However, Elena immediately went cold as soon as Ava mentioned the past. Before? Did she mean her previous life? She had been naive and stupid then and had suffered an unfortunate and horrible death accident because of that. Her friends did not have a good ending, either.
Before? Did Ava even deserve to mention the past?
“Get out on your own if you want to. Otherwise, feel free to stay and rot there alone.”
Elena turned around to continue to look for a way out. Ava was so angry that she continued to cry. She was the future Eldest Young Madam Williams! She was born to be cherished! Yet, she had to climb out of the pit on her own after a fall?
“Stop right there! Elena, you wait for me! Elena, wait for me…”
Elena had left Ava alone in the dark pit. Ava was scared that venomous snakes and ferocious beasts would roam the area if she were to stay in the hole. Viper… No way! Would there be venomous snakes in the pit? Ava was so terrified by the thought that she crawled her way out of the hole. Her leg was covered in mud, and she was angry and sad. It was too dirty! She finally got up and caught up with Elena who had walked ahead.
“Take off your clothes and wipe me clean!”
Ava was still in her bikini, but Elena had returned to the cruise ship in the evening to change into sportswear. Ava tried to think of a way to clean the dirt on her legs. She did not want anyone to see her dirty legs when they returned to the cruise ship.
“Hey! Take off your clothes!” Ava chased after her sister and reached out to pull on Elena’s clothes.
That b*tch! She used to be so obedient! Even if Ava were to ask her to take off her clothes and wipe the mud off, and then put it back on again, she would be willing to do it. Oh, how things had changed!
Slap! Elena waved her hand, and Ava was startled by the sudden blow on her cheek.
“Elena…”
“I don’t know why you think that you are more superior than me, or that you can simply order me to wipe the mud off you with my clothes.”
Elena looked coldly at Ava with indignance.
“I’m not your pet, and I have never taken advantage of you. Ava, don’t you think you are crazy to have asked me to do that?”
Yes, her request was beyond too much. In fact, it was psychopathic! Ordinary people would not be able to come up with such silly requests unless there was something wrong in their head!
“I’m your sister!” Ava finally recovered her senses after the attack on her cheek. She raised her hand and dashed forward to hit Elena. Damn it! How would she dare to slap her? That was the second slap that night!
“I’ll beat you to death!”
Elena dodged with an astute step to the side, and Ava slipped and fell onto the ground with a thud. Her knees bumped against something, and the pain brought tears to her eyes.
She wailed loudly.
Elena continued to move forward and ignored her. Ava wanted to keep her pride and ignore the b*tch, but the surrounding area was so dark. Even though there was moonlight, it was still hard to find the next path. If she had not kept up with Elena when she left, she would be left behind.
“Wait for me…” Ava continued to wail.
She cried as she walked, and she raised her hands to wipe her face. The mud on her hands dirtied her face. Ava was so embarrassed that she wanted to pretend that she had fainted. However, she knew that Elena would ignore her if she dropped onto the ground. She was so impersonal!
She wailed as she rushed toward Elena.
Elena coldly said, “If you want to be slapped again, then go ahead and use my clothes to wipe your face. I will show you how it feels to have a swollen face.”
Ava immediately stopped in her tracks and cried out loud.
Suddenly, Elena also stopped in her tracks. There was a group of people ahead, and they looked like a search party. Ava’s eyes lit up, and she wanted to rush toward them.
Elena grabbed her and said in a deep and low voice. “You fool! Those are not Eldest Young Master Williams’s people!”
