Chapter 104
Shirley saw that it was Cynthia, and all of a sudden, she was furious. Moreover, a bunch of reporters came from nowhere, taking pictures of her.
She naturally knew Cynthia’s goal. She just wanted to frame Shirley up and slander her. “Cynthia, don’t slander me. I didn’t perjure myself. Every word of it is the truth,” she said.
Cynthia said calmly, “You said in court that Rachel treated you like her own daughter. Aren’t you lying?”
In the face of so many cameras, Shirley didn’t dare to say nonsense. I’m not lying. Rachel is just nice to me. Although she’s
the not my biological mother, she treats me well Cynthia, quit messing around here. Shirley didn’t lie about this, s sounded particularly confident when she faced the reporters.
Cynthia smiled and didn’t say anything more. She turned around and walked away in her high heels. After a short while, the group of reporters that had gathered around Shirley left. Shirley was confused and wondered what Cynthia was up to
When Shirley turned around, she saw Selena staring at her icily Shirley hurriedly apologized and said, “Mom, trust me. I only recognize you as my mother.”
Selena suddenly asked, “Didn’t you say that Rachel abused you and tormented you day and night since you were a child? How come she treats you like her own daughter now?”
In Selena’s eyes, Shirley had committed perjury.
After Shirley came back, she had been complaining about how Rachel and her husband abused her. This was also the deepest pain in Selena’s heart. She felt guilty for Shirley and hated Rachel. But now, Shirley suddenly said that Rachel treated her very well.
Today, in court, to prove Rachel’s character, she said a lot about what Rachel had done for her when she was growing up. If that was true, then it was just ridiculous.
Shirley was stunned. She finally understood why Cynthia asked such a question in front of a group of reporters. It turned out that she was just laying a trap for her. She almost forgot how she had slandered Rachel to win Selena’s love and sympathy.
She stammered and didn’t know how to answer Selena’s question, so she changed the subject and tried to divert blame to Cynthia.
“Mom, Cynthia set me up to testify in court. She wanted to save Rachel and teamed up with Jonathan to trick me. She wants to sow discord between us. Mom, please don’t be provoked by her,” said Shirley.
Shirley felt something was odd lately. Right then, she figured it out. The so–called appeal was a trick that Jonathan and Cynthia had designed for her,
She originally thought that she would have close contact with Jonathan during the retrial if she agreed to appeal. They had a common goal and could meet frequently to discuss the case. Thus, their relationship would advaper by leaps and bounds.
However, Shirley didn’t expect that she would hardly have a chance to see Jonathan/Every time she went to meet him, she was turned away. Whenever she cited the case as an excuse, Jonathan would only send a lawyer to contact her.
She never said more than three sentences to Jonathan, let alone develop a personal relationship. The more Shirley thought about it, the more she realized something was wrong. She thought, ‘Cynthia must have used me.
Cynthia must have asked Jonathan to instigate. It would not only expose my relationship with Rachel to the public and attract ridicule from the upper class but also destroy my relationship with Mom!‘ Shirley understood everything. She said, “Mom, Cynthia is a scheming little bitch. She set me up everywhere.”

Chapter 101
However, Selena remained–moved. She said, “I just want to know if Rachel abused you!”
Shirley was dumbfounded. Why does Mom keep brooding over that question? she wondered.

“Of course, she didn’t abuse me. I could have lived a rich life, but she stole me and then felt guilty about it. She was kind to me, but she owed me that! If she hadn’t swapped the two kids back then, I could have grown up by your side and been much better than Cynthial” said Shirley.
Selena felt like she had been stabbed. The events from over 20 years ago were still vivid in her mind. When Rachel’s mother hooked up with her father, she indirectly killed her mother, Selena hated them immensely and wanted revenge.
Less than three months after Selena’s mother’s death, her father announced that he would marry Rachel’s mother. She accused Rachel of being the daughter of a homewrecker on the school radio station, which got her bullied by the whole school.
She forced Rachel to the rooftop, Rachel kept explaining to her Selena. I really don’t know what happened between my mother and your father.
I just found out about it. I’m sorry. I apologize to you on my mom’s behalf.”
Rachel immediately knelt, but Selena beat her like crazy, slapped her, and pulled her hair. “You’re lying. You and your mother are both vicious liars! You just want to take my place. Your mother seduced my father. Both of you were in on it! I’ve always treated you as my best friend, but instead, you’re a viper in the grass who was just waiting to backstab me! Rachel, 1 won’t let you off the hook!”
Rachel’s face was red and swollen, but she didn’t fight back at all. She looked at Selena calmly and asked, “Selena, what can I do to make you believe me?”
“Fine. If E
