"Sister, you're too kind."

  "Thank you, sister."

  Several girls reached out to accept the gifts, their eyes fixed on Grace's face. Chloe hadn't lied; her sister was truly beautiful.

  Even in a film academy teeming with beauties, her beauty was absolutely stunning.

  "Sister, wasn't it supposed to be tonight?"

  Chloe stepped forward, her eyes welling up with tears. She hadn't seen her sister for almost two years; since her sister came to Aethelburg for university, she hadn't returned home once.

  She and her brother could only contact their sister through TikTok video calls.

  Grace looked at her sister, her throat tightening.

  In her previous life, although her sister had entered film school, she hadn't achieved great fame.

  Initially, her good looks brought her some good opportunities, but she was always stood up at the last minute by the production team, either replaced in roles or taken over by actors with connections.

  Some actresses, even those jealous of her beauty, privately suggested to the director that she play an ugly role.

  She was frequently taken by the crew to social events with investors, wasting her precious youth.

  Life after graduating from university was even more difficult. Her originally innocent personality was completely eroded by the corrupt environment.

  So she began to give up on herself. She was photographed drunk and passed out in bars, smoking and swearing, and even fighting with other actresses on set. That was the peak of her career, her most exposed and famous period, but unfortunately, it was all negative publicity.

  In the end, even in her old age, Chloe never got what she wanted.

  When they met again, looking at the pure and clear eyes in her sister's eyes, Grace, trying to appear calm, gently stroked her hair and said softly, "I bought you some things and thought I'd bring them to you first."

  Chloe stared wide-eyed in shock at what her sister handed her.

  A cell phone, laptop, tablet, and headphones—a complete Apple set!

  These were things she had always dreamed of, but never dared to ask for.

  Her current cell phone cost less than two cents and was almost three years old; it was even laggy when typing.

  Every time she saw someone using a new Apple phone, she felt envious.

  "Are these all for me?"

  Chloe reached out and took them, somewhat incredulously.

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  Seeing her sister's reaction, Grace's heart clenched. She had never received anything she wanted. From today onward, she would give her all the beautiful things in the world!

  Composing herself, Grace looked around the dormitory. The dorms at the film academy were quite nice—standard, clean four-person rooms with private bathrooms and small balconies.

  Then, looking at her sister's three roommates, she said, "Chloe is rather quiet. I hope you can all be more tolerant and considerate of each other in the future."

  "Definitely, don't worry, sister."

  "We all really like Chloe."

  The roommates were all very friendly, and Grace smiled with satisfaction. Turning to Chloe, she asked, "Are you free today? Then let me take you out for a walk, and I'll bring you back after we eat."

  Chloe nodded happily. She hadn't seen her sister for two years, and of course she wanted to spend more time with her.

  After the two sisters left the dormitory hand in hand, the other three finally gathered together excitedly.

  "Oh my god, Chloe's sister is so beautiful!"

  "I didn't believe her when she said her sister was a fairy! I should punish myself for my rudeness!"

  "I've never seen many girls this beautiful in our school. She could easily outshine a bunch of celebrities!"

  "And she's so nice! She even brought us gifts. I love Guerlain, but I've never seen this line before."

  "Me neither. It looks different from the Guerlain I've bought before. It looks more high-end. Mina, use Ebay's image scanner."

  The group craned together, looking at Mina's phone.

  Guerlain's top-of-the-line Black Orchid line, the whole set costs almost five Dollars!

  So expensive!

  The three looked at each other, all speechless.

  Although their families were relatively well-off, they had never used such expensive skincare products before. Just one bottle of eye cream cost sixty-seven cents!

  "Chloe usually dresses and uses very ordinary things, I never imagined her family was so rich!"

  "It's probably related to her personality, she's quite low-key."

  The others nodded slightly, finding this very reasonable, and their impression of Chloe improved even more.

  The two sisters walked hand in hand towards the main gate of the film academy, their striking good looks attracting many stares along the way, with some boys even secretly taking pictures with their phones.

  Chloe felt quite stiff, as she had always been. Her proudest possession was having the most beautiful older sister in the world.

  So, walking down the street with her sister was always her most confident moment.

  "Sis, where are we going?" Chloe asked.

  Grace smiled at her and said directly, "I want to take you shopping. I've already bought you new essential gadgets, so I'll take you to buy some new clothes and shoes instead."

  Her younger sister had always been prone to low self-esteem. In the competitive environment of film academy, good resources were essential.

  Otherwise, seeing others wearing designer brands while she had nothing would only make her more insecure.

  MixC Shopping Mall, one of the most upscale shopping malls in Aethelburg, housed almost all the top international brands—a place Chloe had only ever seen in TV dramas.

  Even before entering, she was stunned by the mall's grand and luxurious exterior. By the time Chloe realized what was happening, her sister had already led her to the Cartier boutique.

  "Sister, this is too expensive, let's forget it."

  Chloe looked at Grace and gently shook her head. Cartier was a top luxury brand in the jewelry world; even a simple necklace cost several dollars.

  The saleswoman at the door hadn't even had a chance to greet her when she overheard Chloe's words and immediately rolled her eyes.

  Another customer who couldn't afford to buy anything and was just browsing; she'd been assigned an empty shift again.

  Luxury store saleswomen work in shifts at the store entrance, taking turns greeting customers as they enter. Whether a customer makes a purchase is entirely up to luck.

  Grace, pulling her sister along, calmly walked into the store. The saleswoman pursed her lips impatiently, but could only grit her teeth and follow her.

  "Welcome to Cartier, I'm Katia, it's a pleasure to serve you."

  A weak, almost inaudible voice.

  Grace immediately stopped, turned to the saleswoman, and calmly said, "But you don't seem happy."

  The saleswoman resisted the urge to roll her eyes, ignoring Grace's words, and mechanically followed the procedure, asking, "Do you have a style you like? I can get it for you to try on."
