Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 399 Everything Was Off
Cody was her lifeline. Even if that lifeline was covered in thorns that silently pricked and hurt her, she dared not let go.
After the recent family gathering, she felt something was off.
Cody’s attitude toward her was always cold, almost indifferent. Other than publicly stating they were a couple, he never defended or protected her. Whenever she had conflicts with anyone, Cody always stood against her, pointing fingers at her. Although it wasn’t as outright as her mother and brother’s constant denial and scolding, it was still merciless.
Everything felt wrong.
“I also doubt whether you’re really my boyfriend,” Janice suddenly muttered.
Cody’s face changed, looking at Janice in disbelief.
At that moment, a pretty girl came running over.
“What’s going on? Janice, are you arguing with Cody?”
Oh, here comes the pretentious b*tch. She’s been watching the show and thinks it can’t go on?
Christopher and Rosalie instantly fixed their gaze on the newcomer. This was Cecilia.
After Cody spotted Cecilia, his face softened considerably. His attitude was completely different.
“We’re not arguing. Janice is being unreasonable. I just wanted to take her to change her clothes, but she’s being stubborn,” Cody said.
Cecilia immediately looked at Janice disapprovingly. “Look at you, you’re soaked through. Let’s get you back to the dorm to change before you catch a cold.”
“Cecilia, why are you so nice to her? Look at what she’s holding,” said one of the girls who had been leading the bullying.
Cecilia’s expression changed slightly. “We’re good friends. I’m just being nice to her. It doesn’t matter what she’s holding. Please step aside.”
Another person who wants to sweep the matter under the rug. I won’t let that happen!
“Oh, so you’re Cecilia? Perfect timing. Let’s get this sorted out. They say Janice stole your bracelet. Is it the one she’s holding?” Isabella cut in directly, causing Cecilia’s face to freeze momentarily.
However, she quickly regained her composure. “Oh, I don’t mind. It’s just a bracelet. If it’s lost, it’s lost. It’s no big deal,” Cecilia replied.
Trying to slander Janice, making it hard for her to clear her name, huh?
“Wow, what a nice way to put it. So you don’t mind, meaning everyone assumes Janice stole it, but you’re not pressing charges. Is that it?” Isabella exposed Cecilia’s ploy.

she had let go of this thief.
Finished
Janice finally understood why she always seemed to be on the losing end with Cecilia. Even without direct accusations, Cecilia always managed to make everyone turn against her. Janice thought she was naturally unlikable, but now…
She stared intently at Cecilia. “You know that bracelet is mine. I would never steal from you. You’re doing this on purpose!”
