Chapter 2591


    “Do you seriously think your lies are bulletproof? More than a few ssmates have told me they’ve


    spotted you around campus, and they even sent me photos. Wanna see?”


    Victoria pulled out her phone, and Mara’s face fell instantly, only to be reced by a dazzling smile the


    next second.


    “Victoria, stop pulling my leg. I spent the whole afternoon in the library, buried in books. I even checked


    out a ssic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale collection I’ve wanted for ages. If you still don’t believe


    me, feel free to ask the librarian.”

    With suchposure, anyone would have thought she’d really spent her entire afternoon at the library.


    Victoria couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine at the sight of her sister’s cunning.


    “Do you think I’m bluffing like you? If I say I’ve got proof, then it’s legit. I bet you wanted to tag along to


    my school today because of Balfour, right? I was at rehearsal and missed the drama you caused. But


    you made such a scene, and it’s all over our school forum now. Everyone’s pointing fingers, and you’re


    feeling the heat, aren’t you? That’s why you’ve found a hole to hide in. What I don’t get is why drag me


    into your mess? I’m your sister. Why would you bad-mouth me to Dad?”


    Victoria’s words turned Mara’splexion even more sour. “What are you talking about? What forum?


    I don’t know anything about that.


    “It’s an internal student forum, of course you wouldn’t know. But let’s not change the subject, Mara.


    Why did you lie to dad? You weren’t at the library at all, and you had me searching the entire campus


    for you!”


    Mara looked like she was about to explode, desperate to see what was posted about her on that forum.


    Were her embarrassing moments caught on camera and spread online?


    “Does it even matter? You left me behind anyway,” Mara snapped, moving closer, trying to snatch the


    phone from Victoria’s hands.


    “Let me see what they’re saying about me! I didn’t do anything wrong, so why would someone post


    about me online?”


    “Fine, now you’re admitting it. It seems, in your heart, I’m not even as important as that stranger,


    Balfour.”


    Victoria looked genuinely hurt, but Mara couldn’t care less. In her mind, she couldn’t even begin to


    compare herself to Balfour.


    “I said-hand over the phone.”


    Mara reached out, her hand trembling with urgency, but Victoria slipped the phone into her pocket.


    “What if I don’t give it to you? Consider it your punishment. You have to face the consequences of the


    lies you spread today. Sure, you’re my sister, but you need to understand-you have to bear the weight


    of your own mistakes.”


    Victoria couldn’t shake off the feeling that Mara was hiding something, perhaps even orchestrating the


    whole scenario. Why hadn’t she even apologized? Now she was acting all high and mighty, demanding


    to see the forum posts.


    The more anxious Mara was to see that post, the less Victoria wanted to let her anywhere near it. Mara


    was on the brink and couldn’t bear the thought of being humiliated before she even had a chance to


    confess her feelings.
