Quintessa’s words dropped like a bomb, exploding in the middle and instantly changing the Lott family’s expressions. Jerome, with a scowl that could freeze hell over, swiftly yanked his arm away from Miranda’s grasp.
Nineteen boyfriends? What on earth could that mean? Anyone hearing it would probably snicker to themselves, thinking her as Miss Collect-’em-all?
Quintessa smirked inwardly. Wasn’t I accused of stealing others’ boyfriends? Well, let me tell you just how many I’ve ‘stolen.’
Was the number nineteen or not, she could not remember exactly. But it was just a bluff, but she would make the Lott family believe that number was absolutely real.
Leaning her head against Jerome’s arm, Quintessa played her part to the hilt: “Yeah, I’m that notorious sister, snatching all her boyfriends. You got it right.”
Miranda turned ashen, her voice quivering, “Quintessa, shut up! When did I start dating in junior year? And when did I ever date nineteen guys? You’re slandering me! Please don’t believe her. She’s just trying to smear my name. You don’t know how malicious she can be. Ever since we were kids, she’s always been throwing dirt on me. Please, don’t believe her!”
Tears brimmed in Miranda’s eyes, her voice cracking in desperation to prove her innocence, which softened the Lott parents’ expressions slightly.
But then, Quintessa dropped another bombshell: “Really? How come I remember it then? In the ninth grade, you and a boy from the next class went off to a motel, got caught by the teacher, and parents of both of you were called in. Oh, that memory sticks because I was the one who tipped off the teacher.”
After saying that, Quintessa teasingly winked at Miranda.
