After I left, the twin Alphas went crazy novel Chapter 150

The room fell silent as all eyes turned to Linda, who stammered and looked around, trying to gather herself. “I… I didn’t know it was yours, Miss Josiah!” she said, her voice trembling slightly. “A friend gave it to me. I thought it was—well, I thought it was just a gift.”

“Your *friend*?” Josiah’s lips curled into a tight smile, one that held no warmth. “Do you mean the friend who’s also a maid in my household? The same maid I trusted with this gown, who told me she sent it for cleaning and never returned it?”

Linda’s face went ashen, her hands clutching the sides of the dress as if it could somehow shield her from the accusations flying her way.

Christina cleared her throat, trying to break the tension. “Miss Josiah, it’s just a dress. Surely there’s no need to get upset over it.”

Josiah’s gaze flicked over to Christina, her eyes flashing with irritation. “Just a dress? On what grounds should I let this go, Christina?” She cast a hard look at Linda. “This gown wasn’t just borrowed—it was taken without permission and paraded around as if it were hers, to make an impression here.”

Christina stepped forward, her expression smug as she wrapped an arm around Linda.

“Miss Josiah, I’m sure Linda didn’t mean any harm. Besides, she’s with Lirian now—his girlfriend, actually. I don’t think she would need to ‘borrow’ anything without asking, given her connection to the Alpha. It’s clear she’s not vain.”

Josiah’s eyes widened, then darted toward me with a look of confusion. “Lirian? *My cousin Lirian*? Linda, you’re his girlfriend?”

Linda plastered on a smile, nodding eagerly. “Yes, didn’t Sophia tell you? Lirian and I… well, we’re very close.”

My stomach twisted. This wasn’t just a lie; it was a full-blown fabrication. But before I could protest, my phone suddenly buzzed in my hand, the screen lighting up with Lirian’s name. The unexpected sight made my heart pound.

*Could this finally be him, ready to give me some answers?*

The tension in the room grew palpable as Josiah narrowed her eyes at Linda, her voice dripping with accusation. “You’re faking it, Linda. All of it. You have no right to wear my dress, let alone to spread lies about Lirian.”

Linda’s eyes flashed, and she stood her ground, her voice defensive but unwavering. “I never claimed to be some high-born lady, Josiah. I didn’t know the dress was yours, and I’ve never lied about being with Lirian. Last time everyone saw us together! Are you really making a fuss over a dress?”

She smirked, her confidence undiminished. “Besides, my boyfriend will be here any moment. Then everyone will see for themselves.”
