NovelEnglishChapter 160 Vanity and Greed
Linda shook her head adamantly. “I didn’t…”
Shirley was anxious and angry. She finally understood what was going on. Thus, she gritted her teeth
and said, “It is all part of Elisa’s tricks! She deliberately mentioned before us that she was buying a
present for Grandma. She caused us to misunderstand and think she was planning to gift it to Old
Madam Wickam! Linda and I thought Old Madam Wickam likes this kind of bracelet, and Linda had
searched so hard for them. Yet…”
At this point, Shirley felt they had no choice but to reveal everything in hope of removing the blame on
them.
However, Rachel chuckled. “My grandmother likes this style of bracelet. Elisa is my best friend, so she
bought the bracelet and gave it to my grandmother for her birthday yesterday! Do you two have no
shame? Instead of figuring out the right gift yourself, you decided to steal Elisa’s idea!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElisa looked at Rachel and shook her head. “That’s enough, Rachel…”
Her voice was soft, but it was still audible to the people sitting nearby.
Linda and Shirley seethed with fury.
Rose was also panicking. I thought we have a chance to get on Old Madam Wickam’s good side at this
banquet. Instead, that b*tch tricked us!
We all fell for her tricks and offended Old Madam Wickam!
It was now pointless to explain. Thus, she looked at Julia and shook her head. “Old Madam Wickam,
there must be a misunderstanding!”
However, before Julia could say anything, Rachel sneered. “I’ve been wondering how could there be
such a coincidence that you bought the same gift. When Elisa bought the gift, both of you weren’t
around. After all these accusations, it turns out you were hiding and observing Elisa in secret!”
Linda seemed even paler than before. She shook her head and wanted to speak, but Rachel chuckled
mockingly.
“Previously, you said you and Elisa are like-minded and likely bought the same presents. It seems what
you mean by having the same mind means secretly watching her and finding out what she bought
before one-upping her. Elisa only bought one, but you decided to get six pairs!”
Linda was rendered speechless.
She took a deep breath but could not speak a word. All she could do was shake her head.
The crowd looked at Linda unfavorably.
After all this, it turns out she is only pretending to be nice.
She kept claiming that Elisa is like a sister to her. Yet, she secretly did all these things against her!
What a joke! Thankfully, they exposed her. Otherwise, who knows what else she would do?
“Rachel…” Elisa got up and tugged Rachel’s hand to make her stop.
However, Julia sneered in fury and said, “What is the use of hiding at this point? Since she dared to do
those things to you, why are you still protecting her?”
Rachel’s father seemed tense.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElisa was close to the Wickam family, so Rachel’s friendship with Elisa would benefit the Markee family.
However, he could not afford to offend the Benett family. Since Rachel’s words had caused immense
trouble to the Benett family, he was worried about having to face them in the future.
Still, he could not stop Rachel now. As Julia did not want Rachel to stop, he would offend the Wickam
family by stopping Rachel from speaking. In an instant, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Rachel looked at Linda with eyes full of disappointment and could not resist scolding, “Previously, I
thought you would be a righteous person since you are Elisa’s cousin. I even praised you when Elisa
was being interviewed. How can you do such shameless things? You humiliated Elisa before everyone
so that you looked better than her. Does that make you happy? Furthermore, you thought Elisa was
going to gift a jade bracelet, so you bought more of the same bracelets to one-up her! Aren’t all this
from your vanity and greed to win?”
