Chapter 1669


    “I just can’t wrap my head around it. Erica is an illegitimate child with such a bad reputation, why on


    earth does Rosalynn insist on backing her up and protecting her?” Lenora covered her face, slumped


    on the couch, and started sobbing.


    Everyone’s saying she’s in the wrong but what on earth did she do wrong?


    She only has one son, Jacob. How could she possibly stand by and let him get involved with danger?


    Graham lowered his eyes, keeping silent for a moment “Have you ever thought that Rosalynn, being as


    smart as she is, would choose her friends wisely? Do you really believe Erica is as bad as the rumors


    im?”


    Lenora looked up, frowning at Graham. What are you trying to say?”

    “Nothin’ much.” Graham hesitated, then finally said, “I just feel like you’ve shifted your resentment for


    Erica’s mom onto Erica herself. It’s messing with your judgement!“


    “What do you mean, shifting my resentment onto her? When have I ever resented someone as


    insignificant as her? Can’t you see how bad Erica’s reputation is? How many men has she slept with?”


    “And what about Jacob? Graham interjected sternly. “You’ve said it yourself before, Jacob changes


    girlfriends too quickly. So, it’s okay for Jacob to fool around, but it’s not for someone else’s child?”


    “She’s a girl! It’s not the same!” Lenora shot back immediately.


    Graham was crystal clear. “What’s the difference between men and women? We’re all human!”


    As she was deep in thought, Lenora’s phone rang.


    It was Jacob’s cousin, a little girl Lenora was quite fond of.


    After hearing what Graham had to say, Lenora was so upset she felt like she might have a heart attack.


    She didn’t want to argue with him and calmly answered the phone: “What’s up?”


    “Something’s happened!”


    “What’s happened?” Lenora sat up straight immediately.


    “A bunch of media outlets just reported that Kelly, Erica’s half-sister, has been framing and ndering


    her ever since Erica was neen! We have misunderstood Erica, it seems… she might not be that


    kind of promiscuous person…”


    “No way!” Lenora stood up, instinctively denying it.


    “It’s true, the Carter family have already got theirwyers on it. I asked Orval’s wife, and she said


    they’ve got solid evidence.” The other party urgently said Tve got reliable info that the Shields family


    will soon issue a statement acknowledging the issue and cutting ties with Kelly!”


    “That must be the Carter family trying to clear their name by throwing Kelly under the bus!” Lenora still


    didn’t believe it.


    There was silence on the other end.


    “This is a big deal. It’s only blown up on foreign social media so far, but domestic social media will soon


    report on it.” the other party said seriously. “We’d better not let Jacob see this. I’m afraid he won’t be


    able to handle it.”


    This woke Lenora up.


    “I got it!


    “Do you want me to keep you updated with any new developments?”


    Lenora wished she wouldn’t.


    But the call ended


    Lenora sat back down on the couch, her expression somewhat dazed.


    “What did I just say?” Graham pped his thigh, 1f Erica really was that bad, Rosalynn wouldn’t be


    friends with her. Now the truth is out, it’s clear someone’s been framing her!”


    It’s the Carter family cleaning up their own name!” Lenora insisted.


    Graham opened his mouth, then waved his hand dismissively: “Whatever, Erica’s somebody else’s wife


    now, she’spletely out of the picture for Jacob Whether she’s innocent or not, it has nothing to do


    with us now.”
