Divorced the Cheat Married the Fleet (Camilla and Lance) novel Chapter 455

As she spoke, Jeniffer's fists clenched tight.

Mentioning Sarah was like opening a floodgate; she just couldn't stop.

"Camilla, if my aunt and uncle weren't my elders, I'd swear they were out of their minds. Actually, scratch that—I still think they're out of their minds.

Lance is their actual biological son. How could they make his life miserable for an adopted daughter? They never even believed a word he said!

When Sarah accidentally swallowed a desiccant, they blamed Lance for giving it to her. They locked him outside in the dead of winter! He was only six or seven years old, and he ended up wandering off and getting lost.

They didn't even realize he was missing until the police called them to pick him up.

Who the hell acts like that as parents?

Tell me, Camilla, isn't that just a complete joke?" Jeniffer scoffed.

Even just through Jeniffer's description, Camilla could clearly picture a tiny Lance—wrongly accused by his parents, kicked out of his own home, huddled alone in a freezing corner.

It felt like something sharp had pierced her heart, leaving a dull, agonizing ache.

She had noticed Sarah's possessiveness over Lance, assuming she had always been that way.

But she was wrong.

As a kid, Sarah only ever wanted to steal whatever Lance had.

No wonder Lance never gave her the time of day, even though she was his adopted sister.

And this was only what Jeniffer knew. How much more was hidden beneath the surface?

Jeniffer was still venting. "Most of the nasty rumors about Lance in our social circles were spread by them too.

Because they convinced themselves Lance was bullying Sarah, they went around telling everyone he was born wicked, ruthless, and arrogant.

When we were kids, everyone whispered that The Charles Family had spawned a monster who tortured his poor adopted sister. But in reality, it was always Sarah framing him.

And because my aunt and uncle always took her side, everything was automatically Lance's fault."

So that was how Lance's reputation had been ruined.
