Chapter 1052 A Pair Of Rings (Part Two)


    "You two are going out too?" Leena asked casually but also politely, not noticing their intense gazes on


    her, not to mention the deep-set hostility and envy in their eyes. Although she was not getting along


    well with them at the moment, they weren''t strangers to her either. They all knew each other, so Leena


    remembered to be well-mannered. She always treated people with basic politeness, no matter who


    they were or how much she disliked them. Besides, it would be too inappropriate topletely ignore


    them and walk by, since they had seen each other already. Otherwise, they would use her of


    pretending not to see them and avoiding them. It was not something she wanted right now.


    "So what if we are? Are you afraid that we are going to follow and keep an eye on you?" ire


    snapped. She was so jealous of Leena, especially her simple but elegant dressing and makeup. The


    hostility ire held for her couldn''t be kept buried anymore. Her anger brought upon by Louisa earlier


    finally found an outlet. ire''s suspicions were out in the open. Looking at Leena now, she felt it was


    useless to dress herself up and put on the heavy makeup with so much care, as they only made her


    look stupid. She looked more like a countrywoman than Leena did. Leena didn''t need all that to be the


    brightest star among everyone, or to overshadow ire and Louisa easily. When standing beside her,


    the both of them blended into the unnoticed background like green leaves, and it only highlighted


    Leena as the most salient and beautiful flower.


    "Sorry? Keep an eye on me? But why? Keep an eye on me for what?" Leena asked, confused about


    ire''s reply. She didn''t understand why they suddenly decided to go with her. Leena couldn''t read the


    thoughts currently running inside ire''s mind, so she didn''t know where the hostility came from all of


    a sudden. Leena had merely dressed up casually, and she had no idea that her innate beauty could


    arouse so much envy from others. She had not realized they cared so much about her and her looks.


    "Well… You will see!" ire sneered. She raised her chin high as her eyes darted quickly in Leena''s

    direction, pretending to be as proud as a queen who despised her inferiors. Leena was clearly one of


    them in ire''s mind. She grabbed Louisa''s hand and dragged her down the stairs before Leena could


    take the steps herself. ire might not look as elegant as Leena did, but she couldn''t lose her


    momentum in front of her.


    Upon seeing this childish disy, Leena could only shake her head. She felt helpless about ire''s


    impulsive words and immature mockery. Leena would not say she was a maturedy, sometimes she


    too was quite childish. However,pared to them, Leena realized that she was mature enough in her


    dealings with others. Even though she was younger than ire and Louisa, she knew how to behave


    herself and exercise basic politeness. She didn''t lose her temper with others or react to them with such


    reckless and impetuous behavior.


    "Mom! How can you do this to me? I''m your daughter! Now you''re going out with my brother and her


    without me?" ireined as soon as she saw Shannon downstairs. Kevin was Shannon''s son,


    but ire was her child too. How could Shannon show partiality for him? Plus, she decided to take


    Leena too, which for ire was even more exasperating. Leena was only her daughter-inw; she was


    not even her real daughter. How could her mother treat Leena better than her own daughter?


    "Why? Why should I bring you with me? I don''t need you there," Shannon replied. Her tone didn''t


    betray much emotion. Shannon turned to ire, giving her a cool look when she saw her dress and


    makeup. She really couldn''t understand her daughter. Why was she always putting on so much


    makeup, which didn''t help her look better at all? ire wasn''t an ugly girl, but with so much product on


    her face, she looked worse than her original self. No wonder she hadn''t had a boyfriend in so many


    years. In all probability, the eligible young men were scared away by her frightening makeup. In


    contrast, when Shannon looked around to see Leenae down the stairs, she was ted to see her


    beautiful daughter-inw. She couldn''t describe how disappointed she felt about ire. Compared to


    her, Leena''s makeup was simple and light, and it suited her perfectly. It was just enough to highlight her


    beauty and not so heavy that it covered up her elegance and nobility. Shannon knew Leena was more


    like her in this aspect. Both of them preferred light makeup to a heavy one. Sometimes, Shannon


    wished that ire learned that from Leena, or at least chose better suited makeup for herself. Like


    ire had said, she was her daughter, so of course Shannon cared for her. But if ire behaved more


    the very least, she wouldn''t need to worry whenever she went out with ire, about getting used of


    being a mother who gave birth to a daughter but couldn''t teach or educate her well enough.


    "What about my brother and her? You would need them there? This is so unfair!" ire retorted.


    Shannon''s refusal goaded ire and made her feel even worse. Normally, Shannon didn''t reject her


    requests so profusely and directly. Today, the situation was different and quite frankly, abnormal. ire


    felt that her mother didn''t know Leena''s true nature, and things might seriously go wrong if ire was


    forced to stay at home. ire didn''t realize that even if she went out with them, she couldn''t change


    anything either. But since she couldn''t figure out what else to do about Leena, she felt it necessary to


    keep her tabs on her. The curiosity got the better of her. The less Shannon wanted to bring her with


    them, the more she wished to go.
