Chapter 264 (2): Drama? Impossible
Veronica shook her head, remembering how she had misunderstood Wayne twice before being proven as the party at fault. She maintained her stance and refused to back off, urging Kristen to admit that this was a prank Vera had orchestrated.
Kristen clenched her teeth to stop herself from giving in, but not long after, Veronica’s pitiful attempt to hold her tears in made Kristen say, “It was a prank. I lied. Wayne and I didn’t... didn’t...”
She couldn’t finish the sentence.
Veronica felt like the sky was falling. Her fists clenched so hard that her fingers whitened. Remembering the trash can’s sweet words, she buried herself in her white moonlight’s embrace, hurt and helpless.
She wiped her tears on Kristen’s shirt, sounding upset as she said, “Why you, Senior? You’re incredible... I trusted you so much. Why did you betray me?”
She didn’t get violent or curse, simply speaking with sadness and hurt. That left Kristen at a loss for what to do. None of the explanations she had worked on would help. She hurriedly reassured Veronica, explaining how she had fallen for Wayne.
There was no betrayal. Everything could be explained!
Back then, she was kidnapped by her adoptive mother and a legendary mage of the Ministry of Magic. While she was on the verge of death, one step away from losing her life, it was Wayne who had dragged her to safety, fighting a legendary mage to the death to save her. After that, Kristen surrendered herself to him, unable to escape the thrall of his sweet words.
Hearing that Kristen almost died, Veronica got worried. She huffed and puffed before saying, “But Wayne is the Lando family’s heir. You should know his relationship with me then.”
“I thought you were his younger sister. Mr. Lando and Wayne look too much alike, and everyone says so.”
Veronica couldn’t believe it. “I only said that because I was angry. Mother and Mr. Lando have been treating him so well and ignoring my feelings. It upset me.”
“But you said it.”
