invited them?
Cecilia’s mind had gone blank…
At that moment, Myra approached her and said, “Miss Cecilia, Mr Lisa wants you to come over.”
When Cecilia had regained her senses, she realized that both groups of people had been looking at her with complex expressions…
Cecilia’s body had gone weak, unsure of how she could escape this disaster…
Last time, she had lied to her friend Dot, claiming that Isabella had relied on her looks and good grades to win the favour of William and Eloise, becoming their goddaughter and adopting the Logan
surname. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
However, Leah, Nicholas’s girlfriend, exposed her lies immediately. That day, Leah had called Nicholas and tricked Cecilia into going to Baylor College of Medicine, saying that Nicholas wanted to have dinner with her…
When she had rushed there in the sweltering heat, she had found Dot, her friends, and Leah…
Cecilia had feigned fainting on the spot.
But Nicholas had seen through her act and even wanted Isabella to show her if she had been fainting…
Later, the truth couldn’t have been hidden, and Dot and her friends severed ties with her because of it…
Should she have pretended to faint again this time? But Lisa had been such a sharp person; she would have seen through it…
What should she have done?
What could she have done?
Lisa had been the most difficult person to get along with among other families…

“Miss Cecilia, Mr Lisa, and Mr Mason knew everything. It would have been better for you to confess and stop struggling,” Myra had advised kindly. But her words had only made Cecilia clench her fists. How had a servant dared to bully her like this?!
“Cecilia, come here,” Lisa called her from a short distance away, her expression cold and indifferent.
Cecilia was caught in a dilemma, knowing that any tricks or schemes would be useless. So she mustered up the courage and walked over, bracing herself.
“Why did you lie?” Wendy was the first to speak as Cecilia approached, her eyes teary with anger. “I always considered you my best friend, sharing all my secrets with you! In my heart, you were always a pure, kind, and innocent girl. How did you become like this?”
Rita expressed her disappointment as well. “We know everything now, Cecilia.”
“You completely changed, and we no longer recognize you,” Rosa added, deeply disappointed. “When did you start changing? Why didn’t we notice…”
“The mistakes from the past were not your fault. Lisa still treated you as Family, and you were still the lady of this house. Your lifestyle and privileges remained the same as before. There was no need to
lie,” Ella spoke up. “You truly lost your way!”
“Yes, we used to envy your status, the limited edition designer clothes filling your closet. We revolved around you like stars around the moon,” Sibyl spoke honestly. “But we weren’t just after the benefits you had. We wouldn’t stop being friends because you didn’t share the Logan family blood…”
Although they did hope to gain some benefits from Cecilia that day because there were limited edition shoes and bags they couldn’t get with their connections, Cecilia had so many of them that she couldn’t possibly wear or use them all. She didn’t even need them…
Cecilia often gave them her old designer items with the tags still on. They were limited edition items, so they happily accepted them…
For them, it was about sharing between friends. They had also given Cecilia luxury items, even if they weren’t as valuable as Cecilia had given them…
Overall, even if Cecilia couldn’t afford to give them anything anymore, the bond they had developed over the years wasn’t fake…
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have stepped forward earlier to expose Isabella…
“I’m sorry.” Cecilia suddenly bowed deeply to them, tears welling when she raised her head.
“When I saw you all standing here from afar, I guessed you knew. Honestly, I feel relieved now, suddenly at peace. I don’t have to lie anymore.”
As Cecilia spoke, she smiled sadly, tears streaming down her face.
“Maybe you can’t understand how someone like me, who had been showered with endless love, might feel when someone suddenly appeared and threatened to take it all away. How lost, uneasy, and afraid
I was…”
Cecilia didn’t finish her sentence before Wendy interrupted, crying, “But the life you’ve been enjoying was originally hers! You should return it to her!”
The other friends nodded, agreeing with Wendy’s statement.
“Isabella didn’t ask for it back; she allowed you to continue enjoying that life. Shouldn’t you be grateful to her? Instead, you’ve been secretly smearing her behind her back… Honestly, Cecilia, I’m so disappointed in you. We shouldn’t be friends anymore. Don’t contact me in the future.”
Wendy turned to leave but remembered something and stopped in her tracks, looking back at Cecilia.
Cecilia thought she had softened…
But the next moment, Wendy’s gaze shifted to Isabella, and she walked over to her with a severe expression, bowing respectfully. “I’m sorry for not understanding the truth earlier and unjustly blaming and scolding you. I handled it poorly.”
The other girls also apologized to Isabella, acknowledging their mistakes. They had been taught to admit their faults and apologize for them.
