Bryan looked at Haillie with a sigh and said, âHaillie, you accidentally dropped your earring in there, be more careful next time!â
Haillie glanced at the earring in the doctorâs hand, shook her head innocently, and said, âNo, this earring isnât mine, I never wear this kind âHaillie, youâre saying this earring isnât yours?â Bryan suddenly became alert âCould someone have intentionally put it in your shoe? Someoneâs trying to harm you!â
This gol everyone on their toes.
Theyâve been friends since childhood, their families were close too. Who would harm a friend like this?
Byranâs words surprised Haillie, and then, as if realizing something, she looked at Elinor, who was standing between Theo and Belinda, with disbelief âElinor, we have no issues, why would you do this?â
Everyone looked at Elinor in surprise.
The only stranger they had just met.
And Elinor was just yawning out of boredom, raising her eyes lazily when she heard, âHmm? Were you talking to me?â
Seeing Elinorâs attitude, Haillie felt even more wronged and angry and started accusing her âYou were the only one who tried on my boots, if it wasnât you, who else could it be? Elinor, I was just trying to lend you my shoes; if they didnât fit, thatâs fine, but why would you hurt me like this? As a ballet dancer, what if my foot got injured? How am I supposed to dance?â
Elinor looked at her calmly and said indifferently. âI have no idea what youâre talking about. But itâs just a small earring. Haillie, youâre not made of paper, you wonât fall apart if you get prickedâ
Haillie felt even more wronged and said tearfully, âYouâre not the one who got pricked, of course you donât know how much it hurts! Elinor, I know we had a misunderstanding over a watch, but thatâs in the past. Do you really need to get back at me like this?â
Elinor frowned slightly, as if she had heard an unfunny joke. âGet back at you? Haillie, I settled our misunderstanding that day, Iâm too lazy to bother about it again!â
Haillie was taken aback, she didnât expect Elinor to have such a direct attitude But thatâs good, the more Elinor was like this, the more she seemed rude and uneducated!
Once everyone saw the situation clearly, they will know who the real victim is Thinking about this, Haillie took a deep breath, tried to hide her grievance, and forced a smile. She showed a magnanimous attitude and then said.
âElinor, thereâs no need to deny anything Iâm not blaming you. As long as you admit your mistake, we can have an honest talk and let bygones be bygones. For Theoâs sake, we might still be friends in the future.â
Elinor frowned, looking displeased âSorry, Iâve never been friends with you, and I wonât be in the future.
I donât need to save face for anyone to do something I donât want to do. Plus, why would I admit to something I didnât do?â
Haillie didnât really want to be friends with Elinor, but now Elinorâs unreasonable attitude was exactly what Haillie wanted Now, Haillie came across as rational and magnanimous she was the one hurt, yet she was seeking reconciliation, only to be coldly rejected. This made her appear even more helpless and wronged Tears welled up in Haillieâs eyes as she looked at Theo, who had been silent all along with resentment and anger.
âTheo, youâve seen Elinorâs attitude⦠You, me, and Jonah, weâve been friends for years; we know each other, do you think I would frame her for no reason?â
