Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 313

Looking at Malinda’s overly dramatic expression, I thought to myself, "Man, she's such a dumbass."

"Irene, if you could say sorry to Malinda, we could forget all about this and still be friends," Bonnie played the peacemaker, acting all sincere.

But the horrible thing that happened to Malinda can't be settled by an apology, even if I had done it. Bonnie was only saying that because she didn’t experience it herself.

And besides, doesn't she know who the real culprit behind Malinda's troubles is?

Louis, on the other hand, was staring at me without a trace of guilt. He's one cold-hearted guy. He did this to his own girlfriend, just to break up with her, and he's trying to pin all the blame on Malinda so she can't pester him anymore.

Sadly, Malinda is too smitten with him, thinking that Louis is good to her, and that she's the one in the wrong.

"Bonnie, are you serious?" I coolly adjusted my hair and clothes, and asked Bonnie calmly.

"Irene, you're the one who needs to apologize. What does this have to do with me?" Bonnie seemed confused by my question. She grabbed Malinda's hand, "Malinda is my best friend, I certainly don't want her to be bullied..."

Malinda looked at Bonnie with gratitude.

Just then, Bonnie's eyes lit up as she spotted someone in the distance. She looked ecstatic, "Neil, over here!"

I was taken aback when I saw Neil, as we were just video chatting.

Well, it’s Valentine's Day. It makes sense for Bonnie to want to hang out with him.

Neil walked through the crowd and his gaze lingered on me for a bit before moving away.

Bonnie, always quick on the uptake, rushed over to link arms with Neil, resting her head on his arm in a show of possession.

Neil's arm twitched as if he wanted to pull away, but I shot him a glance, which made him frown, clearly displeased.

"Neil, you're here too?" Louis seemed surprised to see Neil, then his gaze shifted to Bonnie.

Something felt off.

"Today's Valentine's Day. Of course, he should be spending it with me, but..." Bonnie trailed off, then looked at me, "There was a little unpleasant incident. Irene and Malinda had a fight."

"What happened?" Neil asked indifferently.

"Neil, you be the judge. At Russel's engagement party, your ex-wife Irene drugged me, and I made a complete fool of myself. Wasn’t it her fault? Shouldn't she pay for it?!" Malinda asked anxiously.

Now that Neil is back with Bonnie, Malinda naturally thought Neil would take her side.

"But Malinda, don't get worked up. There's right and wrong in every situation. If Irene really did something wrong, we'll definitely get you justice!" Bonnie blurted out.

I almost burst out laughing. They were laying the blame on me behind my back, with no intention of giving me a chance to explain.

Just as Malinda started to charge at me again, I shook off her hand and glared at Bonnie, "Bonnie, I'll give you a minute to explain. If you continue to instigate Malinda, you'll regret it."

Bonnie was taken aback, then after a few seconds of thinking, she laughed awkwardly, seeming even more cautious than before, "Irene, I don't need to explain anything. If you didn't do it, I would definitely tell Malinda to leave you alone."

Louis was sharper. He seemed to sense something wrong in my words and stepped forward to grab Malinda's hand, "Let's go clear this up outside. We shouldn't involve others."

Malinda, who had wanted a private chat with Louis, naturally wouldn't refuse.
