Reading Julcy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 404 Used As A Pawn
+5 Pearls
It seemed as though Janice had already become accustomed to being treated this way. After all, her own mother and brother had chosen Cecilia over her without any reason, so she had resigned herself to this reality, never once considering the need to dig deeper.
Observing Janice’s expressionless demeanor, Isabella sighed, feeling sorry for her. There’s nothing much I can do. And here I was figuring out a way to punish this se’m harder.
But suddenly, Pamela, who had been ‘silent until now, finally lost her composure.
Seeing Cody and Cecilia together, the undeniable lipstick smudges, and hearing Janice’s painful. confession, Pamela knew deep down that it was all true. Cody’s attitude toward Janice had always been off. He knew she was being bullied, yet he never stood up for her. On the rare occasions when Janice and Cecilia clashed, if Cody was there, he always sided with Cecilia, remaining indifferent even when Janice was visibly upset and wronged.
Back then, she was brimming with satisfaction, pleased to see Cody’s girlfriend miserable. At that moment, however, she felt a chill down her spine..
Was I used as a pawn all along, like Isabella had said earlier? How is this possible? No, I must be able to find a logical explanation. How could Cody be in love with Cecilia? What does that make Janice? All along, we’ve been targeting Janice. Were all our efforts in vain?
“No, no. It can’t be… Cody… was always there for Cecilia because she was his best friend’s sister. That’s why…” Pamela was in shock, but she instinctively rebutted the obvious truth with her preconceived
notions.
However, upon seeing those indelible lipstick marks, Pamela was at a loss for words, her lips trembling.
The Quirks were stunned, too. We’ve heard of Cecilia being Cody’s best friend’s sister, too. But Cecilia came from an orphanage. Why would she have a brother?
Only then did Isabella’s mind wander, and she remembered something.
She had previously learned that in order to protect Cecilia’s pride, Dylan had insisted that Janice conceal. her identity at school.
Considering how snobbish these guys were, they must’ve favored Cecilia because she had some sort of
status.
Isabella pondered hard. Don’t tell me Dylan did something heinous.
“What brother? Who is her brother?” Carlos also sensed something was off and immediately questioned.
Pamela seemed to have grasped a strand of hope and was relieved. It was as if by proving Cecilia’s extraordinary identity, she could somehow find an excuse to justify herself.
Cecilia’s face turned pale at that moment. Guiltil
she was about to interrupt when Pamela beat her to it, saying to Carlos, “Didn’t you know? She’s Dylan’s younger sister! Dylan and Cody are best friends. That’s why he asked Cody to look after Cecilia!”
The Quirks were all stunned.
