Chapter 47
Pearl turned around and looked at Hugo. His smile seemed different from when she first met him.
In her room, she called Wayne.
“Did you find the culprit?”
“Yeah, the IP addresses of those who slandered you are in the Flores Residence. It’s most probably Abby’s doing. Also, I found.
a weird person in the surveillance footage of Death Valley. The last person he called was Abby.”
“So, it’s Abby… Let’s show everyone the truth online tomorrow. An eye for an eye…” Pearl said coldly.
“Will do.” Wayne immediately handled it.
The next morning, Pearl heard crying. After stretching, she went downstairs and saw Abby sobbing on the sofa.
“I didn’t do anything wrong! It’s all lies!”
Pearl just laughed, making everyone look at her. She asked innocently, “Why are you all staring at me?”
“Did you lie about Abby online?” someone said.
Pearl sneered at that. “Oh, you guys thought I framed her.”
Abby cried, “I’m innocent, Pearl. How could you do this to me?”
She completely lost her cool when she realized her actions were on the Internet
Luckily, even though people suspected her, there wasn’t solid proof. So, she hurried to the Waldorf Residence, where Susan still liked her, and convinced Susan that it was Pearl’s plan.
“I framed you?” Pearl laughed again. “Tell me, Abby. Why would I lie about you?”
Abby looked up at Richard and said timidly, “Maybe… you like Rick and want me gone.”
Faking a smile, Pearl retorted, “Not everyone thinks like you.”
“Who else would do this to me? I know you always hated me…”
Susan stepped in, frowning. “Delete the online posts, Pearl. Clear this up!”
She didn’t want her future daughter–in–law to have a bad name because it could also harm the Waldorfs‘ reputation.
Pearl stared at Susan. “What if Abby really did those things?
Susan was firm, “Abby is a good person. She’s always been a good kid, so of course she would never do those things!” Richard chimed, “I don’t think Abby did it either.”
His statement earned him a cold glare from Pearl. “So, you think I just made things up?”
Pearl thought Susan’s denial was unfair, but it really hurt when Richard repeated Susan’s words.
She realized she was just an outsider, not accepted by the Waldorfs, including Richard. He had never accepted her.
Since that was the case, she decided to reveal the true evidence
