Chapter 742

After hearing what Cindy said, the students watching them became displeased with Arielle.

“So she’s Arielle’s stepmother! She seems like a nice person. Why does Arielle refuse to accept her?”

“Even if she can’t, she should still be courteous toward her stepmother. It’s really rude for her to act like this.”

Arielle’s gaze was still cold.

Casting Cindy a meaningful glance, Arielle smirked mockingly and declared, “Well, you’re my aunt.

After my mom passed away, you did take care of my dad well to the extent that you even slept with him! I should thank you for keeping my dad company despite his old age.”

Cindy’s expression stiffened while everyone else exclaimed in shock.

“What the heck? No wonder Arielle doesn’t like her stepmother. She went from being Arielle’s aunt to her stepmother! That’s quite disgusting.”

“I heard that Arielle has been chased out by her family. Was her stepmother the one who convinced her dad to chase her out?”

“I only thought that such ridiculous events happened in soap operas, not in real life! Poor Arielle!”

“If I were that woman, I’d feel too ashamed to appear in front of Arielle. She even calls herself Arielle’s mother!

There are no limits to her shamelessness!”

Everyone started hurling insults at Cindy:

Cindy did not expect that she would become the public enemy just after what Arielle said.

A vicious expression flitted across her face before she denied pitifully, “How can you say that about me, Arielle? Your dad pursued me first! Since his wife died and I wasn’t married, why couldn’t we be together?”

At that moment, a voice sounded.

“My family used to work with Arielle’s family. During the adopted daughter’s funeral, I heard that she’s not actually adopted, but actually an illegitimate child Cindy had with Arielle’s father before his wife died!”

“What the heck? How shameless can they be?”

“If I were Arielle, I would have just kicked that woman’s face. Arielle is so dignified—she can actually suppress her urge to punch her stepmother!”

Cindy felt utterly humiliated. Since she could not think of any rebuttals to embarrass Arielle, she decided to go straight to the point.

Upon that thought, she grabbed Arielle’s arm.

“Arielle!” Staring at her eagerly, Cindy coaxed, “I’m not here to argue with you, but to take you home.

Now that you’re all alone outside, I can’t help but feel worried about you. Why don’t you come home with me?”

After speaking, she grabbed Arielle’s arm even more forcefully. If Arielle flung her arm away, she would take the opportunity to fall down.

Matthias had already prepared a bag of fake blood beforehand. After falling down, she would pretend to have a miscarriage.

The plan was flawless—all that was left for Arielle to shove her aside.

In the next second, Arielle raised her arm in disgust.

Cindy immediately leaned backward, all prepared to fall.

However, before she could collapse onto the ground, Arielle suddenly shrieked. Despite being perfectly balanced previously, she suddenly toppled backward.

“You…”

Stunned, Cindy watched as Arielle fell onto the ground.

“Sannie!”

When Cindy suddenly appeared, Trisha was already dumbfounded. Upon seeing Arielle fall, Trisha quickly helped her up and asked worriedly, “Are you okay, Sannie?”

Arielle nodded, but rubbed her back with a look Furious, Trisha glared at Cindy.

With a burst of courage, she yelled at Cindy, “Ma’am, you’ve crossed the line! If you don’t apologize to Arielle, I’ll call the police right now!”
