Cedrice walked toward Corinne with a cane. “Don’t worry, Corinne. I’ll teach them a lesson for framing you.”
Corinne smiled. “Thank you, Grandpa Cedric. For believing me.”
Lilliana and Sherlyn knew they could never escape this. They thought Cedric was referring to them instead of Anya
and Phoebe when he said he would teach ‘them’ a lesson, causing them to want to run away in fright.
Lilliana forcibly smiled. “Umm… Excuse me, but I need to go home to attend to some urgent matters. We’re going
to make a move now.”
Sherlyn grasped Lilliana’s elbow anxiously. “G… Goodbye, then.”
After that, they ran out of the living room as quickly as possible and since the servants did not receive any order to

Cedric and Beatrice paid no mind to Lilliana and Sherlyn at all. What they were really concerned about was how to
punish Phoebe and Anya—the two women who brought disgrace to their family name.
The two elderly people sat down, scowling. Frowning, Cedric looked at Phoebe and Anya. “What do you two have to
say for yourself now?” he asked with a scoff.
Anya was having an internal meltdown. She did not know what to say nor could she speak. Phoebe, however, was
not going to surrender just yet. She gritted her teeth and thought, ‘If I’m going down today, I’m bringing Corinne
down with me!’
“Dad, even if Anya was the mastermind behind the online scandal about Corinne, who’s to say there’s no truth to
the stories? Maybe Anya was just trying to show everyone Corinne’s true colors so that fewer people would be
taken in by her!” said Phoebe.
Anya immediately calmed down when she heard what Phoebe said. A second later, an idea popped into her head.
“Grandpa, Grandma, I admit I was the one who asked Corinne’s stepmother to make public all the shameful things
Corinne put Josephine and her mother through.
“I heard Josephine and her mother suffered a lot because of what Corinne did, so I couldn’t stand by and just do
nothing. I must help bring justice to them. I was scared you’ll all tell me to mind my own business after finding out
what I did. That was why I pretended I didn’t know Corinne’s stepmother just then…”
Anya was the best at crying. She cried so hard that her shoulder started shaking.
Phoebe grabbed her shoulder woefully before turning to scowl at Corinne. “Miss Corinne, if you have nothing to
hide, why didn’t you address the allegations online?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe spotlight was on Corinne again.
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “Miss Phoebe, the whole thing had gotten out of hand already. Do you really think
anyone would believe me now?”
Phoebe rolled her eyes and scoffed. “People will believe you if you can show them proof you didn’t do it. In other
words, you can’t seriously ask people to believe you based on your words alone, right? Or could it be that you don’t
have any proof at all?”
“You’re right. I don’t have any proof at all.”
Phoebe smiled victoriously. She cornered Corinne where she wanted her! “You can’t blame the social media users
for taking Josephine and her mother’s side then, can you?”
