Chapter 12: Setting the Trap!
Ella shook her head and pouted angrily, "Hannah, if you refuse again, I'll really be upset! I always wear the most expensive clothes, while you... I'm embarrassed by it. If you don't accept, then don't consider me your sister!"
With Ella putting it that way, Hannah didn't know how to refuse anymore. Brianna's lips twitched slightly before she smiled faintly, "Hannah, since Ella insists, you should wear it."
If Hannah kept declining and Ella got upset, it would definitely displease Robert, which wouldn't be worth it.
"Alright!" Hannah agreed, feeling a bit shocked. She hadn't expected Ella to treat her this way.
Something felt off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Ella was secretly pleased. Although this mother and daughter pair appeared to accept her "gift," she knew Hannah wouldn't wear that evening gown to the auction.
As expected, the next evening, Hannah wore a simple white evening dress. It was understated yet highlighted her perfect figure.
Overall, Hannah was curvier than Ella, who appeared more slender. Hannah's allure was diminished somewhat by the simplicity of her dress.
"Hannah, why aren't you wearing the evening gown from yesterday? Don't you like it?" Ella asked, looking disappointed, her lips pouting slightly.
Brianna quickly smiled, "Ella, your sister is still young. Wearing such an expensive gown might make her a laughingstock."
"Why would it be a laughingstock? Can't the Davis family afford such clothes? Besides, with you dressed so simply, people might think you're mistreating Hannah!" Ella laughed lightly, running over to take Hannah's hand. "Hannah, you must wear that gown. It's so perfect, it would be a shame not to. We already bought it, and with the Davis family's wealth, why wouldn't we afford it?"
