    Chapter 404 Used As A Pawn


    +5 Pearls


    It seemed as though Janice had already be ustomed to being treated this way. After all,


    her own mother and brother had chosen Cecilia over her without any reason, so she had resigned


    herself to this reality, never once considering the need to dig deeper.


    Observing Janice’s expressionless demeanor, Isabe sighed, feeling sorry for her. There’s nothing


    much I can do. And here I was figuring out a way to punish this se’m harder.


    But suddenly, Pam, who had been ‘silent until now, finally lost herposure.


    Seeing Cody and Cecilia together, the undeniable lipstick smudges, and hearing Janice’s painful.


    confession, Pam knew deep down that it was all true. Cody’s attitude toward Janice had always


    been off. He knew she was being bullied, yet he never stood up for her. On the rare asions


    when Janice and Cecilia shed, if Cody was there, he always sided with Cecilia, remaining


    indifferent even when Janice was visibly upset and wronged.


    Back then, she was brimming with satisfaction, pleased to see Cody’s girlfriend miserable. At that


    moment, however, she felt a chill down her spine..


    Was I used as a pawn all along, like Isabe had said earlier? How is this possible? No, I must be


    able to find a logical exnation. How could Cody be in love with Cecilia? What does that make


    Janice? All along, we’ve been targeting Janice. Were all our efforts in vain?


    “No, no. It can’t be… Cody… was always there for Cecilia because she was his best friend’s sister.


    That’s why…” Pam was in shock, but she instinctively rebutted the obvious truth with her


    preconceived


    notions.


    However, upon seeing those indelible lipstick marks, Pam was at a loss for words, her lips


    trembling.


    The Quirks were stunned, too. We’ve heard of Cecilia being Cody’s best friend’s sister, too. But


    Cecilia came from an orphanage. Why would she have a brother?


    Only then did Isabe’s mind wander, and she remembered something.


    She had previously learned that in order to protect Cecilia’s pride, Dn had insisted that Janice


    conceal. her identity at school.


    Considering how snobbish these guys were, they must’ve favored Cecilia because she had some


    sort of


    status.


    Isabe pondered hard. Don’t tell me Dn did something heinous.


    “What brother? Who is her brother?” Carlos also sensed something was off and immediately


    questioned.


    Pam seemed to have grasped a strand of hope and was relieved. It was as if by proving Cecilia’s


    extraordinary identity, she could somehow find an excuse to justify herself.


    Cecilia’s face turned pale at that moment. Guiltil


    she was about to interrupt when Pam beat her to it, saying to Carlos, “Didn’t you know? She’s


    Dn’s younger sister! Dn and Cody are best friends. That’s why he asked Cody to look after


    Cecilia!”


    The Quirks were all stunned.

    Cody, too, was at a loss for words.

    Right then, Carlos still didn’t think Dn was insane. After all, Dn had always expressed his


    desire to have an adoptive sister and seemed to share a close rtionship with Cecilia. Therefore,


    Carlos simply thought that Dn regarded Cecilia as his sister, which was why he referred to her


    as his sister in public. It was no different from telling others that she was a close friend.


    Hence, he merely grumbled. “He doesn’t seem to care about his own sister but treats a stranger like


    the apple of his eye. And he even asked his sister’s boyfriend to look after this stranger? Has he


    lost his mind?”


    His words, much like a bolt from the blue, stunned everyone into silence.


    “What did you say?” Pam demanded, her eyes wide with disbelief.


    Carlos was taken aback by her strong reaction.


    “Is Cecilia not Dn’s sister?” Pam shrieked, “What do you mean? Who is Dn’s sister?”


    If she’s not Dn’s sister, then Cody is clearly lying about caring for his buddy’s sister. If Janice is


    Dn’s sister, why would Dn allow Cody to hurt her?


    Carlos paused for a moment and asked in shock, “What do you mean? Do you think Cecilia is


    Dn’s biological sister? She doesn’t even share the same surname as him. My and Dn’s sister


    is Janice. She has the same surname as us. Is that not obvious enough?”
