Ariana, this scheming woman, must be doing this on purpose. It would have been better if she didn't say anything, but she chose to open that damned mouth of hers and directly convict her of the crime. This make Jane the target of everyone's accusations.
Before Jane could say a word, everyone's accusations were directed straight at her.
"Jane, you still want to frame Ariana, it is clear to everyone that it was you who did it. You're such a vicious woman!"
"Exactly, I've heard this woman even tried to snatch the school's belle's boyfriend, how shameless."
"She's possibly promiscuous, given how she always has a bunch of guys around her."
A few sentences and Jane was trembling with anger, her nails dug into her palms. She wanted to explain, but she could only suppress her grievances due to Ariana's presence.
However, her hatred for Ariana just deepened.
"Sister, how could you frame me."
Finally, when the crowd dispersed, Jane tried to control her rage, pretending to be aggrieved.
Internally, she had cursed Ariana to hell and back. This woman was too venomous, causing others to target her, Jane was frustrated. But all Ariana did was to mock her with the words she just said, "Didn't you say it yourself, let them talk, those who did nothing wrong are free of guilt?"
Jane was startled on the spot.
Surprised at Ariana's sudden change, she also regretted her impulsiveness.
Jane lowered her head, fearing Ariana to some extent, she didn't expect this woman to be this clever. Suppressing her anger, she pretended to be aggrieved, "But I didn't even go to the hospital"
"I didn't have a miscarriage either, so we don't have to explain anything. When they find it uninteresting, they will stop talking. Jane, isn't this what you said before?"
Ariana's tone held a hint of questioning, as if saying it was okay for them to slander her just now, but if Jane was slandered, it wasn't?
Jane’s heart skipped a beat, fearing that Ariana might see through her. She rushed to laugh and say, "No, I'm just annoyed. I don't know who started the rumors. It's downright outrageous."
It is like swallowing one's own teeth and blood.
This was how Jane felt at the moment; an intense chill wrapped around her spine. Although Ariana's eyes were clear, she could still feel her icy demeanor.
Her own father used up all the family inheritance left by their grandfather when she was only ten, and now the whole family was dependent on Gilbert. But Zoey showed no gratitude and instead looked enviously at whatever Ariana had.
This woman is like a princess, high above everyone else.
But she, even the clothes that have lost all their color, she still has to wear them. Zoey pulls herself out of her thoughts and makes some small talk before moving straight to the main issue: "Cousin, we need computers for our professional courses, the one you gave me last time is broken, I want to buy a new one."
Buy a new one?
Ariana has been with Zoey for so many years, she clearly understood what she meant.
She is asking for money.
The old her did not mind, treated her one and only little cousin sister well, provided her with as much as she could, even after her parents died, she sympathized with her second uncle's family, tried her best to help out.
The naïve her failed to see the true colors of Zoey as well. But now, she is not going to let these people take advantage of her.
