Charis resembled her mother and had always been proud of her appearance. Catherine was quite a beauty when she was young, for which Charis had always been praised since childhood. Now, everything was ruined. Charis clenched her teeth and fists, crying silently. If it wasn’t for the fact that Natalie had been trapped in the haunted house on fire, it wouldn’t have ended like this. Not only did she fail to kill Natalie, but she also suffered a great loss.
