Chapter 6

Her originally delicate and refined appearance had suddenly taken on an exotic beauty. Her round eyes had become European-style double eyelids, and her chubby nose had become straight and defined. There was no sign of swelling on her face. Could this also be due to that product?

Seeing me arrive, she pulled me to sit on the sofa. "Rachel, I'm really upset."

I looked at her stunningly beautiful face, with a smile on her lips.

I was completely confused. This expression didn't look upset at all.

But her large, blinking eyes were devoid of any sparkle. She murmured, "My husband is determined to divorce me."

"Sigh, everything has been in vain."

If it weren't for her voice sounding truly sorrowful, I would have thought she was pretending.

After speaking, she collapsed onto the sofa and stopped talking to me.

I watched as her mouth and eye corners twitched along with her shoulders.

I didn't feel comfortable asking her about the product either.

Halfway through the lesson, I suddenly heard a loud crash.

I instinctively rushed out of the room. Classical music echoed through the empty house, and Aunt Lucy stood at the door, staring wide-eyed at the floor below.

As I approached, I saw Sophia lying face-up in a pool of blood, wearing a deep blue cheongsam. On the gold-edged carpet, she looked like a blooming blue rose.

It was so sudden that I was stunned on the spot.

Aunt Lucy cried out and ran downstairs, nearly falling.

She checked Sophia's breath and shook her head. From behind me came Noah's childish voice, "911? 325 Green Hill Street. Someone has committed suicide."
