Chapter 211

“I haven’t seen you in a few years. You’ve changed a lot,” Alaric said faintly while he gestured at Amanda to sit on the sofa. The woman laughed as she twirled her hair. “How are you doing?” “I’m fine.” Alaric nodded. The woman narrowed her eyes and smiled while she said, “I haven’t seen you in years, and you’re still so…” She paused for a moment and said with a grin, “...domineering.” Alaric’s hand, which held the glass of water, froze momentarily. Domineering? She used the word in a very satirical way. “Mandy, I heard that you committed suicide three years ago. Where have you been over the past few years?” They were head-to-head and testing each other with their words. “Alaric, Amanda’s already dead. I’m not Amanda. I’m Elly.” Elly smiled as she stood up. She observed the interior decoration of the Plath family’s mansion. “I’ve been through a lot over the past three years.” “Where’s Sum?” Elly looked around and picked up a family portrait on an antique curio shelf.
