Chapter 269 Jealousy

Cassandra smiled as she wiped her tears. “Please excuse me. I was just too overwhelmed. I haven’t seen you in so many years, and it’s a surprise to see Amelia all grown up. You’ve become so beautiful.”

Stephanie couldn’t believe that Edith, who usually pampered her the most, could say something like that. The others seemed to find it reasonable as well.
