Chapter 156
Edith stood there, frozen, her veiled face shouldn’t have revealed much emotion.
But anyone could sense her turmoil at this moment.
And the cause of all this was the girl who was spacing out not far in front of her, completely oblivious.
It had been a while since that day, and Edith originally thought that she could gradually calm down.
But reality slapped her hard in the face the moment Adele appeared.
She still couldn’t let go.
Couldn’t forget.
Couldn’t even escape from that illusion.
Since that day, Edith had been having dreams every night.
She dreamt of her childhood, of the time when her family was still harmonious and complete.
Whether it was her mother or grandmother, they were all by her side, the family living happily together.
Edith immersed herself in it, not even wanting to wake up.
But... Edith used to have similar dreams, but without exception, they were nightmares that made her wake up in tears and trembling.
Everything changed because of Adele’s appearance.
Even the features of her mother in her dreams became more and more similar to Adele’s.
But it was a more mature version of Adele, making her feel overwhelmed.
But no matter who it was, Edith only knew one thing: she couldn’t refuse “her” gentleness.
But that was in her dreams.
In reality, Edith didn’t want to meet Adele for the time being, didn’t want to run into her.
But... did she really not want to?
Or was it another round of self-deception?
Edith couldn’t answer for herself, but the action her body urged her to take was to walk away quickly in the opposite direction from Adele.
The girl wanted to leave this place, at least not let Adele’s presence disturb her peace of mind.
But it was at this moment that Adele spotted the stealthy Edith.
The girl’s eyebrows twitched.
It was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.
However, it was worth mentioning that after the “becoming a mother” incident last time, coupled with the fact that Adele had now become a witch and successfully absorbed a lot of magic power through the First Snow magic replenishing machine, Adele’s confidence had somewhat inflated.
When the “bees” came out, Adele would be in trouble.
But if the bees remained patient, Adele would also transform into a plundering bandit, bullying the weak and taking all the honey.
“If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as your acquiescence.”
“You repeatedly deceived me, and committed crimes against me in the Black Feather Society.”
Although Edith didn’t actually succeed, thanks to Li Lige’s timely appearance and teaching this hateful female ghost a lesson, Adele believed that she had suffered some mental trauma, and the severity of this trauma was determined by Adele, the “victim.”
So naturally, the compensation Edith needed to give Adele should also be decided by Adele~
“...Then what do you want?”
Edith finally couldn’t bear Adele’s contemptuous gaze, she mustered a bit of her Sequence One dignity and released her mental power towards Adele.
An unpleasant, damp smell, like being in a desolate place after the rain, perhaps a graveyard, with countless black-feathered crows circling and cawing in the sky.
“Is this your attitude of asking for forgiveness!?”
If Adele hadn’t become stronger, hadn’t become a witch, hadn’t gained power equivalent to Celeste’s level, she might really have been affected by Edith’s mental power and become the Sequence Five who was at Edith’s mercy, like she was in the beginning.
Adele’s heart sank.
She wasn’t afraid of Edith now, in every sense of the word. If Edith wanted to do anything to her, she was right behind the student council’s headquarters.
Moreover, she had the principal’s backing, First Snow... forget about her, she also had Celeste and Hermione’s backing.
In short, she was full of confidence.
She had to teach this bad woman Edith a lesson today!
Edith wasn’t a submissive person either. She clenched her fists, her beautiful purple eyes lifted, staring at Adele with a wolf-like ferocity.
But it only took Adele an instant to turn the wolf into a dog.
Or rather, just one sentence.
—-“Edith, you’ve disappointed Mommy~”
Perhaps Adele’s intention was just to tease Edith about the fact that she had played Adele’s daughter in Li Lige’s illusion.
But what Adele didn’t expect was that because of this sentence, Edith instantly lost all resistance, her eyes transforming from fierce to the pitiful look of a weak puppy.
Her shoulders trembled violently, her proud head lowered once again.
It was as if she was once again trapped in that illusion.
She apologized to Adele, over and over again.
“I’m sorry...”
“I’m sorry, Mother... I’m sorry.”
Adele: “?”
