Reborn Second Chance With The Scheming Tycoon novel Chapter 275

Chapter 227-1

You two never really got along anyway!” Chloe Hughes blurted out, clearly too caught up in anger to think about what she was saying.

Angela Bennett quickly reached out to tug her sleeve, signaling her to stop, but Chloe wasn’t having it. Face flushed with rage, she ignored her mom completely. “Mrs. Brown, I don’t know why you’d invite Miss Johnson into the group, but there’s something I think you really should know.”

Then she went and dropped the bomb–how years ago, Amelia Johnson allegedly mixed peanut powder into her makeup, giving her an allergic reaction and making her the laughingstock of thenight.

“So tell me, Mrs. Brown, do you really think someone with that kind of character belongs in Furong?

Angela jumped in to back her daughter up, nodding earnestly. “I still remember it clearly. You had to stay home and missed multiple classes. I was seriously worried sick!”

As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and right on cue, her emotions made the whole thing feel like a big deal.

The atmosphere shifted. People started looking at Amelia differently.

But Amelia kept her cool. Her voice was calm as she said, “Miss Hughes, I had no idea you were allergic to peanuts…”

“What’s that supposed to mean? ‘Didn’t know‘ makes it okay?” Chloe snapped. “Do you have any clue what I looked like? My whole face was puffed up–I couldn’t even leave the house. And every night I was itching like crazy–I couldn’t sleep at all!”

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she broke down, flinging herself into Angela’s arms. “Mom, please … You’ve gotta help me…”

Angela hugged her tightly, clearly upset, though she stayed silent. But her silence only added fuel to the fire–made her and Chloe seem like the victims, while Amelia looked more and more like the villain.

Just when things were spiraling, Mrs. Brown stepped up. She didn’t know Amelia all that well yet, but she trusted her instincts. Gently, she pulled her aside.
