Chapter 272
Smack!Phoebe was left shocked by the hard slap on her cheek.
Even though Phoebe‘s status was nowhere comparable to that of Susan in the Leister family, Winnie and George still adored her a lot since she had good manners, excellent results, and to top it all off, she had outstandingly good looks. No one could believe that this usually obedient lady would do something so outrageous. Needless to say, George and Winnie were the most affected and furious.
“Phoebe, do you know how shameless you are? Do you still want to get married?”
“What exactly do you want?”
Phoebe broke into an uncontrollable sob.
I certainly saw Natalie lying unconscious on the couch. This man was supposed to be sleeping with that wretch. Why did it become me instead?
Since everything had happened so abruptly, Phoebe could not wrap her head around the situation. She knew there was no way she could convince the others with an explanation that even she could not believe.
Now, there‘s only one person who can help me. Only Susan knows the truth to this entire matter:
“Susan... Susan...” Phoebe‘s eyes were red and swollen as she choked on her words. “You know the truth to this whole incident... Only you can help me now. Please explain it to Dad, Mom, and Grandpa!”
At the mention of her name, Susan was instantly seized by shock and panic.
Even the fingers she clenched tightly in her palms have turned white.
No way! It shouldn‘t have turned out this way! Natalie should be the one who‘s sleeping with this lecherous man! She should‘ve been the target of all these criticisms!
Despite her young age, Susan was very manipulative. She knew she could never admit everything had stemmed from her cunning plan against Natalie. And that naturally meant that there was nothing she could do to salvage Pheobe‘s plight.
Since things have come this way, Phoebe can only blame herself for not being meticulous enough and thus causing such a mess.

With her mind made up, Susan knitted her brows and muttered, “Phoebe, I don‘t know what you‘re saying. How else can I defend you when you‘ve done such a disgraceful act?”
Phoebe could not believe that the person, whom she placed utmost trust in, did not speak up for her and even called her disgraceful. After all, she would not be in such a predicament if Susan had not asked her to help set a trap for Natalie.
Us!”
She treats me so nicely when she wants to plot against Natalie, yet now she‘s pushing me to one side and acting innocent? Fine. If that is so, then there‘s nothing for me to hold back anymore.
