章 308: Ferdinand's Warning [Bonus chapter]

[What should I do?! What should I do?! My parents are clearly horrified. They must be very disappointed in me. But I had no choice but to admit it since they already have proof. Rather than getting punished for a heavier crime, which I did not even do, it's better to admit my lighter crime and be punished for it. But now, Mother would surely compare me to her even more.] Lucille was at her wit's end as her parents eyed her in disappointment and horror.

Arabella learned from Lucille's thoughts that her mother, had been comparing the two of them.

Lucille got jealous every time her mother had a lot of praise for Arabella but not for her, her very own daughter who was doing just the same or even putting in more effort.

Her mother did not appreciate how much Lucille worked. What mattered was the outcome. If she did not surpass what Arabella achieved, to her mother, Lucille had failed.
