The Woman From Hell



"It's not even easy to take you away, so how are we supposed to take her along? Unless she can get in the car with us."

What he said woke me up.

I smiled at him. "Don't worry, I have a plan."

The next day, I was going to use the cosmetics the old hag brought to do my makeup. Although the products looked like they had been used by other people, there was no other way. I had to make do with them.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

I roughly put on some light makeup and my whole complexion became quite different from before. When I walked out of the room, the old hag was amazed. She looked me over and could not stop her admiration. "Sure enough, you look different after putting on makeup."

"I was afraid I'd gotten rusty after not wearing makeup for a long time, so I did a quick practice. It's just light makeup. I'll do better on my wedding day."

The old hag clapped her hands. "That's great, that's great. You're already very beautiful, much better than the Jarns' bride."

This was exactly what I wanted to hear. I covered my mouth and chuckled. "Am I prettier than she was on her wedding day?" "Of course, you're so much prettier." The old hag was a little proud when she replied to me as if I had won honor for them.

I looked at her, and the corners of my mouth curled. "I haven't seen the Jarns' bride yet. I really want to meet her now that you've said that. Don't you think it would be wonderful if she can be one of my bridesmaids on the day of my wedding? I'm not familiar with this place, and it wouldn't feel festive if I had no company."

After hearing what I said, the old witch was overjoyed and said with a smile. "That's true. If she can stand with you, the contrast will be more obvious. You're more beautiful than her. Everyone will acknowledge that us Fulmers have a prettier bride than the Jarns when the time comes. How much prestige that would give us! But I don't know if she'll agree."

"If you don't try it, how will you know?"

"That's right. I'll go to Jarns in the afternoon and try to get this matter settled."

I noticed the old hag looked determined. She would obviously try her best to make this matter happen, and I could just take advantage of the afternoon to let Nina know.

That afternoon, I met her at the usual place and told her the plan.

"Really? If that's the case, the day you get married is the day we leave." Nina could not hide her joy.

I nodded. I could understand her

happy mood at the moment, but I still needed to restrain myself. "I know you're happy, but calm down. You don't want to attract attention. Mrs, Fulmer will go to the Jarns this afternoon to ask you to be my bridesmaid. You just have to agree, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, I understand. But Jacob takes the car very seriously. He may not lend the car to Frank. Have you thought about how to deal with this?"

"Don't worry, with Mrs. Fulmer's

temperament, she'll go to the Jams

to ask for it in person if Frank doesn't succeed. For the sake of face, she won't hesitate ever if she has to spend some money

Just by looking at the old hag's expression, one could tell that she was vain, but I had to thank her for her vanity since my plan could go smoothly because of that.

Nina breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, then we'll act according to your plan and hope for success."

"As long as Frank remains unchanged, our plan will surely succeed."

Now, what needed to do was

e

stabilize Frank. Fortunately, a day of great joy would be coming two days later so I did not need to worry about living many more days in fear.

"Okay, let's go back quickly, so as not to be discovered." "Okay, be careful on the road."
