Chapter 2591
"Do you seriously think your lies are bulletproof? More than a few classmates have told me they've
spotted you around campus, and they even sent me photos. Wanna see?â
Victoria pulled out her phone, and Maraâs face fell instantly, only to be replaced by a dazzling smile
the next second.
"Victoria, stop pulling my leg. I spent the whole afternoon in the library, buried in books. I even
checked out a classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale collection I've wanted for ages. If you still
don't believe me, feel free to ask the librarian.â
With such composure, anyone would have thought she'd really spent her entire afternoon at the
library. Victoria couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine at the sight of her sister's cunning.
âDo
you think I'm bluffing like you? If I say I've got proof, then it's legit. I bet you wanted to tag along to
my school today because of Balfour, right? I was at rehearsal and missed the drama you caused. But
you made such a scene, and it's all over our school forum now. Everyone's pointing fingers, and
you're feeling the heat, aren't you? That's why you've found a hole to hide in. What I don't get is
why drag me into your mess? I'm your sister. Why would you bad-mouth me to Dad?"
Victoria's words turned Maraâs complexion even more sour. âWhat are you talking about? What
forum? I don't know anything about that.
âIt's an internal student forum, of course you wouldn't know. But let's not change the subject, Mara.
Why did you lie to dad? You weren't at the library at all, and you had me searching the entire
campus for you!"
Mara looked like she was about to explode, desperate to see what was posted about her on that
forum. Were her embarrassing moments caught on camera and spread online?
âDoes it even matter? You left me behind anyway,â Mara snapped, moving closer, trying to snatch
the phone from Victoria's hands.
âLet me see what they're saying about me! I didnât do anything wrong, so why would someone post
about me online?â
âFine, now you're admitting it. It seems, in your heart, I'm not even as important as that stranger,
Balfour.â
Victoria looked genuinely hurt, but Mara couldn't care less. In her mind, she couldn't even begin to
compare herself to Balfour.
âI said-hand over the phone.â
Mara reached out, her hand trembling with urgency, but Victoria slipped the phone into her pocket.

"What if I don't give it to you? Consider it your punishment. You have to face the consequences of
the lies you spread today. Sure, you're my sister, but you need to understand-you have to bear the
weight of your own mistakes.â
Victoria couldn't shake off the feeling that Mara was hiding something, perhaps even orchestrating
the whole scenario. Why hadn't she even apologized? Now she was acting all high and mighty,
demanding to see the forum posts.
The more anxious Mara was to see that post, the less Victoria wanted to let her anywhere near it.
Mara was on the brink and couldn't bear the thought of being humiliated before she even had a
chance to confess her feelings.
