Chapter 188
At first, Stella thought she was being sensitive. However, the strange gazes at her grew more and more until someone vandalized her desk and wrote foul words like “bitch” and “cunt” one day. Only then did she realize that things were not as simple as she thought.
The person who vandalized her desk was promptly caught. That person was Kevin Blamer.
Back then, he was like a martyr. He acted obnoxiously even when he faced his class teacher. In the end, the teacher finally managed to get him to explain his motive after threatening to meet his parents.
It turned out Kevin was a loyal fan of Sophia. He had been following Sophia since the adoption incident.
He said that Sophia was not happy after she got adopted. Everyone in the family kept an eye on her. Sophia’s sister-Stella-often bullied her. She made her eat her leftovers and wear her old clothes.
Stella was confused. She was certain that she did not do such a thing.
Then, Kevin opened Sophia’s Facebook page to confront Stella.
[Stella gave me a mango-flavored cake. I hate mango the most, but Stella seemed to have forgotten again. Or perhaps, she never even remembered.]
[It’s my birthday today. I hope I can cut a whole birthday cake like Stella next year, and not a leftover cake…]
[Stella gave me a dress. It’s really pretty. If only it were new.]
[Stella’s friend asked if I was an orphan. I don’t know how to answer the question. If only I were mom and dad’s biological daughter…]
As Stella continued scrolling, she grew even more shocked, and her heart sank further.
‘Whoever saw such words would think that Sophia was mistreated at home and that her sister
me was the culprit for it. It’s true that I gave Sophia a cake, but it definitely hadn’t been eaten. The cake in the photo was not smooth because it got squashed while I was on public transport on a rainy day. After that, I cut off the squashed part, ate it, and gave the nice part to Sophia.
‘Sophia had never told me that she doesn’t like mango-flavored cakes because she likes mango. I asked Sophia what she liked, and she said mangoes. That’s why I got her a mango- flavored cake on her birthday!
‘As for the dress, I bought it when I was shopping with Felicity. I told Felicity to help me get it after I got Sophia’s size. Since it was on the expensive side, I was worried that she’d feel burdened. That’s why I told her that I was giving it to her because it didn’t fit me, and the return period had passed. How could it possibly be worn when the tag was still on?
“That was the day I learned that Sophia had thoughts that were completely different from the way she acted. She could stab me in the back while she’s also playing her part as the loving sister,’ thought Stella.
The incident about Sophia received a lot of attention in Rivera. Sophia was cute-looking and had a soft disposition, so many students in Stella’s school was a fan of hers.
That was why everyone was angry and felt bad for her after seeing the Facebook posts about. her “bending over backward” for Stella.
‘Compared to Sophia, Stella was born into a privileged family, got whatever she wanted since she was young, had good grades and outstanding looks, and was even well-liked by students and teachers in school. Despite that, she still wanted to bully Sophia, who had nothing. How could this not make others hate her?’ they thought.
Stella was shocked and furious. When she got home, she asked Sophia why she had misrepresented her on Facebook
Naturally, Sophia did not admit it. She cried and said that she posted those statuses only to remember the nice things her sister did for her and had no other intentions.
On the other hand, Albert thought that Stella was blowing things out of proportion. To him, the comments had no problem at all. He even told Stella off. He said she should get her sister something new when she wanted to give her a gift. He also said she should not blame others. for bad-mouthing her since she gave Sophia something she did not want.
