Chapter 10
A crooked s over the nanny’s lips
As if she was expecting the younger woleeful look of expectation in her eyes
Ah So that’s what you think
Not being a full-fledged faest insecurity Rosetta had
It was a weakness that Katie knew Rosetta wouldn’t ever overcoo
When Rosetta was younger, she listened to all of Katie’s cunning words to control and shake her resolve
’Lady Rosetta, if you don’t listen to me, you’ll be kicked out of this house Because you were never supposed to be born’
If she wasn’t the ‘Rosetta’ as here now, then tears would have already fallen into the teacup in her hands
Unfortunately for Katie, it wasn’t the original Rosetta as sitting here right now
Rosetta couldn’t even reht [Me]’
“Right, I can’t be her real faave you the impression that I want to be fah at Katie
Rosetta’s lips curled up just for thisyou If you don’t believe ether?”
“…What?”
“I’ve been itching to talk about it These days, I’ too lazy to put on my own clothes”
“…Rosetta”
“I’m a fake, so I’ll be kicked out And you’ll be kicked out for abusing the real daughter What do you say? I think it’ll be great—”
SLAP!
Before Rosetta could even finish her sentence, Katie slapped her on the cheek
She could have avoided it, but she didn’t do so on purpose
Thewith a prickling pain, a hot sensation war, too, hm?
Rosetta touched her cheek and turned her head back to face Katie, the nanny’s blue eyes enraged
Standing up fro up and down
“How dare you defy ht you’d never hitback so far, so how can you lose control so easily?”
Katie gritted her teeth at what Rosetta said as she stroked her cheek
Veins popped on her teed to talk to Alicia like this, didn’t you… You don’t really care about her”
Ha, a crooked smile was on the woman’s twisted face
“A scar on your face Did anyone else ask what happened to you? Is there really anyone here ants to talk to you? I don’t think so Know your place That’s where you are right now No ood your relationshi+p with Alicia is, after all, you’re just a half-blooded fake!”
Mixed with her cackling, Katie’s voice became louder and louder the more she talked
By the end, she was already screaain, Rosetta wasn’t the ‘real’ Rosetta
She looked at Katie’s red face as she shrieked like a banshee, rolled her eyes, then looked at the clock behind the nanny
There wasn’t much time left
Rosetta slowly rose fro!
The sound of thunder and lightning echoed froh theand disappeared
“Let’s test it out then”
“What?”
Rosetta picked up a teacup at random, from which tea spilled fro liquid stream from the cup and scarlet water stained the white dress
As soon as Rosetta raised the cup, Katie’s shoulders flinched
Perhaps it reminded her of what happened last time
A teacup somehow imprinted on her mind after what happened then It wasn’t unusual—after all, the teacup was flung through the air spectacularly back then
Rosetta looked down at the teacup, following Katie’s gaze
The design had pink flowers blooreen vine The teacup looked pretty expensive
But, you knohat?
If this breaks, it would be nothing but broken shards
The cup, being held precariously by a loose grip, plunged to the ground as soon as the grip relaxed completely
Crash!+
The cup broke into pieces with a harsh sound
“…You……”
Before Katie could say anythingon the table and threw them on the floor
“Kyaak!”
Katie screamed briefly at the loud noise that was even more shrill than her earlier shrieks
After that, a heavy silence filled the room
Katie alternately looked at the broken tableware and Rosetta, unable to calm down
“Rosetta… You…”
“What if I win the bet?”
“…What?”
Rosetta grinned and reached for a shard
As soon as she found a large piece, she clasped it in her fist
There was a sharp sting when her hand had been cut, followed by red blood flowing through the open wound
When she opened her fist, it was clear to see how much blood covered the shard
And the tea spilled on the floor gradually turned red
“You… you…!”
Again, a sudden flash of lightning took over the rooe sound followed iht
It’s like…
“Nohat do you think, Nanny? Do you think… so?”
…like the sound of the world collapsing
Katie’s eyes were tre
