Eleven Years All to the Wrong Man novel Chapter 160

"You know, they're both daughters, but look how successful Emma is. My Cindy, on the other hand! She's even a few months older than Emma, but she has nothing to show for it. Now she's just working some job in this backwater town, barely making enough to get by. Ugh, they're both daughters, how can they be so different!"

The second aunt shook her head and sighed, completely missing the flicker of awkwardness and embarrassment on her daughter's face behind her.

When they were younger, Emma was always being compared to her cousin, Cindy Hayes.

Cindy was a good student and pretty. Back then, if you asked who the most beautiful girl in town was, everyone would have pointed to the older daughter of Emma's second uncle, Cindy Hayes.

Emma looked through the crowd at her cousin, who was only three months older than her.

She still had the same long, straight, beautiful black hair from high school, wearing it down. She had on a slightly cheap-looking, thin, cream-colored coat and a pair of low-heeled black shoes. On closer inspection, Emma could see she was wearing light makeup, but because of the dry weather and lack of skincare, it had settled into the fine lines around her eyes and mouth, making her look tacky and outdated.

Her face was still flushed from her mother's comments, and she stood awkwardly behind the group, her eyes downcast.

Seeing her again after eleven years, the once-vibrant cousin who had been the center of attention now looked like this.
