Chapter 1255 Foolish Women
The skinny lady nodded her head in quick succession, telling the couple that it was the truth. The chubby lady looked at the couple to gauge their reaction. When she saw they didn’t say anything and were seemingly waiting for her to elaborate further, she steadied her nerves before continuing, “We only had a few meetups with her, but since we used to be good friends, it didn’t take long before we became close again, not to mention she kept on bringing up some of our good old times during our meetings.
Then, in one of our meetings, we asked her why she had gone overseas six years ago without even saying goodbye, and she suddenly cried. She told us someone had forced her to…” She trailed off as she threw a fearful glance at Sonia.
Sonia cocked her eyebrow. “Why are you looking at me like that? Did she tell you I was the one who forced her?” The chubby lady nodded in response. “Yeah, that’s what she said.”
Sonia looked like she had just heard the biggest joke in the world, and she swung Toby’s arm around. “Did you hear that? She said I forced her. What a joke! I didn’t even know her six years ago. How on earth could I even force her to do anything?” Besides, I’m not the sort of woman who would drive someone out of their home country.
The girls were surprised to find out Sonia didn’t know Lynette six years ago, but they didn’t find it all that shocking. After all, she had deceived them on many things, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if she had lied to them about this, too.
“Oh, wow. I didn’t know you’re the reason she had to go overseas.” There was a cold glint in Toby’s eyes as he said that.
Sensing the sarcasm in his words, she played along and shrugged. “I know right? I didn’t know either. How was I supposed to make her go overseas when I didn’t even know who she was? Was there another me by any chance who did it?” She laughed after saying that.
He gave her hand a soft squeeze.
She suddenly asked, “So, why did she go overseas six years ago?”
“To study, or so she said. She had been overseas for six years, yet she didn’t even get a Ph.D. certificate,” he answered coolly. No doubt that was a lie as well.
Sonia rubbed her chin as she deduced, “In that case, she probably didn’t go overseas to study. It was for something else. Something kept her there for six years. Okay, now I’m interested.”
“You can just ask her if you want, but we have another matter to settle.” He patted her head affectionately before turning his attention back to the girls again, and the love in his eyes was immediately replaced by indifference.
The girls couldn’t believe he could switch from a loving man to a furious executioner in mere seconds, and they exchanged a look. At this point, they knew Lynette had lied to them. The hell they aren’t in love. He loves her so deeply. Just look at how nice he is only to her. If that’s not love, then nothing is. Screw that b*tch for lying to us! they cursed at Lynette in silence. Their hatred for her mounted.
Then, Toby questioned them in an icy tone, “Why did she tell you my lover made her leave six years ago?”
The chubby lady gulped. Quickly, she answered, “She wanted to gain our sympathy and turn us against you.”
“Oh?” Her reply had piqued Sonia’s interest. “Do elaborate.”
Without a moment of delay, the chubby lady answered, “Lynette loves President Fuller, but he loves you, Miss Reed. She can’t accept such a reality, so she’s been trying to break you two up.”
