Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 635

Both Lyla and Sophia’s birthdays happened to be on the same weekend.

Sophia was so excited the night before that she barely got any sleep. All she could think of was how stunning she would be during her birthday celebration, with all eyes on her.

She had even had photo reels of her from her glory days as an actress made, which would be played on loop onstage during the celebration for everyone to admire.

Sophia ended up looking like the undead the next morning, with sunken hair, bloodshot eyes, and eyebags so dark and heavy that it looked like she had prosthetics on. Makeup was sorely needed, lest she looked

like some ravenous ghoul.

continuously, one sleepless night was enough to make all her wrinkles stand out in the spotlight.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get my makeup artist!” she roared, pacing back and forth in her room. She even shattered an expensive crystal glass out of sheer anger, like someone having a manic
