Chapter 225 Pretending to Please
She pulled the door open and saw Carolyn and Sharon outside.
She frowned with a quick dash of annoyance, leaping across her face. “What are you two doing here?”
To her surprise, Carolyn and Sharon changed their usual arrogance and bossy attitude, and smiled at h
er ingratiatingly. “Kisa, I’m relieved that you are okay. Your father and I were worried when we heard yo
u were critically ill.”
When Kisa thought of Carolyn’s previous spitefulness and the humiliation she suffered, all these words
sounded so fake to her ears. But she did not expose her. Instead, she played along. “Is that so? Then I
really have to thank Auntie Carolyn for your concern. I will treat you to dinner someday.”
“It is alright. Sharon and I came here today to see you and to bring you your mother’s belongings.”
Kisa’s heart skipped a beat
when she heard the second half of the sentence, but she calmly said, “In that case, please come in and
have a seat. I will make you coffee.” She never thought Carolyn and Sharon would come in peace. Sin
ce they had come here on purpose to show their goodwill, she would like to see what they were up to. “
Auntie Carolyn, your favorite black. coffee, and Sharon, your favorite cappuccino,” Kisa said, smiling no
nchalantly as she placed the two coffees in front of them. “Auntie Carolyn, what things of my mom have
you brought today?”
“Oh, I rummaged through the house yesterday and only found this much stuff. Take a look.” While spea
king, she nudged Sharon’s arm, and Sharon looked back and hurriedly handed at paper bag to Kisa wit

Having been fooled a few times before, Kisa was not in any hurry this time. She slowly opened the pap
er bag, which contained only some jewelry and two small books, but not the photo. album she wanted
most. The photo album was in the attic of the Case residence, and since these things were delivered to
her, there was no reason to leave out the photo album. Knowing that they were up to no good, Kisa

e Carolyn, for bringing my mother’s belongings.
“In fact, your mother lived in the Case family for quite a long time. There should be more than this, but I
really couldn’t find it. Why don’t you come back someday to find it yourself?”
“Absolutely, Kisa. Dad misses you, too. Come back for dinner in a few
days. Let’s get together as a family.”
“Sharon, your sister is not the same as she used to be. She is so busy and won’t have time to have din
ner with you,” Carolyn said, smiling at Kisa with an avuncular face. “If you don’t have time to go back, it
is okay. I will try to find it for you when I’m back at home.”
‘What a hypocrite! If Sharon hadn’t revealed her true malevolent nature, I might have believed them. Bu
I have time. How about the day after tomorrow? I will go back to the Case residence.”
“That
is nice of you, Kisa. It was I who was wrong and too petty. But you are a generous girl who doesn’t take
of regret. A naive person would have thought she had changed for the better.’
Kisa smiled impassively the whole time. “Auntie Carolyn, I’m sorry. I have also been wrong about a lot o
