Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 951

An ungrateful person like Judy should just experience more of society's harsh realities!

"What's wrong again?" Wendy strolled out of her room. She had a white mud mask applied on her face while wearing a white cotton nightgown. She scared the living death out of Larissa.

"Don't you have other nightgowns to wear? And your face—" Larissa leaned against the armrest of the couch as she put a hand against her pounding heart. She did not want to look at Wendy any more than she should.
