Grizelda clicked on her money snapshot from the system and stored it in her small bag.

Grizelda went to a store that sold a myriad of beauty products.

"What do you want to buy?" asked the seller, despite being older than Grizelda.

"Sister?" Grizelda asked, taken aback.

"Yes, Sister, what do you want to purchase?" the seller repeated.

"Uh, well... I'd like to buy some standard-priced makeup supplies," Grizelda said.

"Alright, we have them ranging from 100 thousand to 500 thousand, and the better ones are from 1 million up to hundreds of millions," the seller explained.

"I'll take the 200-thousand ones," Grizelda decided.

The seller picked out makeup that matched the price Grizelda requested and placed it on the glass shelf.

Grizelda reached into her small bag for money and handed it to the seller.

"Thank you," said the vendor, accepting the money from Grizelda. She picked up the makeup and promptly left the place.

"He-he-he, it's as much yours as mine. You received it from our biological father, I got it from the system. He-he-he let's see who's luckier, you with our father's blessings or me with the system," Grizelda mulled over her makeup purchase.

She returned home, carrying the small paper bag, and entered her room.

"What's she carrying there?" questioned Evelin upon seeing Grizelda enter the room with something.

"Whatever it is, you're going to feel the consequences tonight," Evelin smirked, smiling wickedly.

Grizelda locked her door, stood in front of the wardrobe mirror—not like Evelin, who had her own vanity mirror.

Grizelda applied the makeup on her face.

She was mesmerized by her reflection as she dabbed on the colorful makeup.

"Is this really me?" Grizelda gasped, touching her cheek and continuing to stare at her reflection.

She snapped a photo of herself with her phone and uploaded it to her social media. Her social profile wasn't very popular, as no one seemed to want to befriend her.

"Goodness, I didn't know I could look this beautiful," Grizelda couldn't stop admiring her reflection.

As night fell.

Knock! Knock!

Someone knocking on Grizelda's door made her frown.

"Who is it?" Grizelda called out, still not moving from her seat.

"Hey Grizelda! Open up!" Evelin yelled from behind the door.

Approaching cautiously, Grizelda got close to her door but didn't open it.

"What's wrong? You're seeking revenge?" Grizelda asked, wary.

"Come on, do you really think that badly of me? I am your sister, why would I do such a thing?" Evelin's voice was soft and soothing.

'Yeah, right, you are wicked, not just in your heart, but your face too,' Grizelda thought cynically.

"Then why are you calling me?" Grizelda asked suspiciously.

"I want to take you out to a place, relax, I'm not seeking revenge. I just want to go for a stroll. Dad's given his permission, so you have nothing to worry about," Evelin reassured her.

Grizelda was hesitant, but finally cracked open her door slightly; she saw Evelin, already looking pretty.

Confidence bolstered, Grizelda fully opened the door, and Evelin, already waiting, looked ready to go.

"Are you sure you want to take me out and not harass me?" Grizelda questioned.

"No worries, I genuinely want to take you out," Evelin said, smiling and draping an arm around Grizelda's shoulder.

"Come on, don't look at me like that; I won't bother you." Evelin pulled Grizelda's hand all the way to her car.

"Get in," Evelin invited, still with a smile.

Grizelda was silent and eventually stepped into the car.

Evelin drove off with a smile.

"Where are we going?" Grizelda inquired with curiosity.

"You'll see, a special place that you'll definitely like," Evelin hinted.

After a few minutes, the journey brought them to a karaoke place.

"Come on, let's go inside," Evelin urged, pulling on Grizelda, who had been suspicious.
