Chapter 107 Distorted Heart
Alina's POV:
Coco finally came in with a white gift box in her hands.
I sprang up to my feet, took it, and opened the lid. It was indeed the same dress that I had been longing for.
I took out the jewelries from the box and placed them on the table to admire them beside the dress. The set of jewelry that Laura gave me was nothing compared to this one. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Coco unfolded the dress for me, beaming. "Miss Quinn, do you see that? It looks like the dress is made just for you."
I trailed my fingers across the pendant happily. "What a beautiful dress! Unfortunately, that Sylvia bitch has already worn it. Thank God she didn't leave her unpleasant smell on it."
"So what if she has worn it? It has now come back to its rightful owner." Coco pouted, trying to defend me.
I chuckled and continued to stare at the dress --I couldn't take my eyes off it. "Yes, everything has come back to me in the end."
I believed even Rufus would ultimately come back to me.
I put on the dress and looked at myself in the mirror. The dress was a bit long for me, but it didn't matter because I could wear high heels to match it.
"Miss Quinn, you look like a goddess in this dress! One glance and I just want to kneel down and worship you. I'm sure your beauty would impress Prince Rufus!" Coco's eyes lit up -- I could see them gleam with admiration.
I pulled the hemline of the dress and twirled around again. I couldn't stop smiling. Coco's compliment lifted my spirits. I felt I would be the most beautiful she-wolf tonight.
"Did you expose yourself when you took the gift box?" I asked, casually kicking the hemline of my dress, still grinning.
"No, I didn't. I promise," Coco replied confidently. Then, she took out the high-heeled shoes from the gift box, squatted before me, and put them on my feet. "But if you go to the ball in this attire, won't Prince Rufus know you took it from Sylvia?"
However, her worries didn't bother me the slightest. "I will make Rufus fall in love with me before I remove the mask. Even if he finds the truth, he wouldn't have the heart to punish me." Just then, I felt a sharp pain in my foot, and I angrily kicked Coco. "Be careful!"
Coco stood up in a fit of panic. "Miss Quinn, the shoes seem a little smaller for you. Why don't you change into your own shoes?"
"No. I have to wear them even if they are smaller." I glared at the pair of high-heeled shoes that were a size smaller than mine. If Sylvia could wear them, why couldn't I? Besides, the shoes were perfect for the dress, so I couldn't forgo them. I didn't want to have any flaws.
In the end, I endured the pain and wore the shoes. As I took a few steps forward, it felt like needles were pricking my toes. But I didn't bother taking them off. If I couldn't even bear the pain, how could I do other important things?
"Miss Quinn, are you okay?" Coco looked at me cautiously. "If you're really uncomfortable, you can change the shoes. Please don't hurt yourself."
'How could I be okay?' I rolled my eyes at her. Wearing smaller shoes was painful, but I didn't want to admit it to Coco. I casually waved my hand, gesturing for her to leave.
Then, I went into the study where the walls were covered with oil paintings. I moved the innermost oil painting and saw a groove on the wall. Inside was a wooden cabinet. I slid the key to unlock it and took out a tube that contained black liquid.
It was the magic potion that I had specially bought from a wizard at an exorbitant price before leaving the pack. My blood was mixed in it. If I somehow made Rufus drink it, he would definitely fall in love with me. It was a pity that I hadn't got the chance to get close to Rufus since I came, let alone drug him and make him fall in love with me.
Tonight was a great opportunity. I would make him fall in love with me for sure. No one could take him away from me.
