Chapter 398 Revealing Her True Identity Isabella was already seething with anger.
3 Finished Christopher and Rosalie finally understood that Cody wanted to take Janice away not just because he didnât want to stand up for his girlfriend, but because he feared Janiceâs identity would be exposed.
Just moments ago, Cody had thanked Carlos for looking after Janice, blurring the lines and making it seem like Carlos was only stepping in as a favor to Cody, not out of any concern for Janice.
What a cheeky lad! How dare he bully a young lady of the Quirk family?
âThis is no small matter. This bracelet is priceless and holds significant meaning,â Christopher said with a cold smile. âWhat? The young master of the Simmons family is so generous that he doesnât even want to seek justice for his girlfriend?â
Although Christopher didnât work at the Quirk Group, his celebrity presence was intimidating.
Codyâs face turned grim. âItâs just a small issue. Janice wonât mind.â
âNo, itâs not a small issue, and I do mind.â Suddenly, Janice, who had been silent, spoke up.
Janice raised her head with teary eyes. She looked directly at Cody as if seeing his true colors. âAre you trying to downplay this again, making me swallow my pride? Why do you always do this when Iâm bullied? Arenât you my boyfriend? I donât expect you to avenge me, but why wonât you even give me justice?â
When certain oddities were noticed, the longâsuppressed grievances finally erupted.
Janiceâs trembling voice made Cody both angry and embarrassed. âJanice, stop it. If you keep being so unreasonable, I wonât care about you anymore!â
Isabella and the others nearly laughed in Carlos frowned and demanded, âAre you crazy? Whoâs being unreasonable?â
Codyâs face turned a variety of colors after being rebuked by Carlos.
The surrounding students couldnât help but start whispering âCody probably didnât want his girlfriendâs misdeeds to get blown up, so he acted this way. Itâs Janiceâwhoâs being ungrateful.â
âYeah, Janice stole Ceciliaâs stuff, and Cody is protecting her. I donât think Mr. Carlos knows anything about this.â
âHe probably doesnât. Otherwise, as a teacher, thereâs no way heâd protect a thief.â
Carlos heard the murmurs and was genuinely confused Whatâs going on? Whoâs Cecilia?
Carlos was about to ask when Cody, seemingly realizing something, hurriedly interrupted.
âJanice, Iâm asking you one last time, are you coming or not? My patience has its limits.â

Finished Before Isabella and the others could get angry, Janice suddenly asked seriously, âI have a question.
You knew this bracelet was a gift from my family, didnât you? Why, when they asked you, did you not say so and only respond that it wasnât bought by you? Were you leading everyone to believe that my bracelet was illicitly obtained?â
Her words instantly silenced the crowd.
Great job, Janice. You finally woke up. Yes, exactly! Thatâs what he meant! He wanted to stand up for Cecilia because he actually likes her!
Although Christopher and Rosalie had already suspected this after seeing the couple in the woods, hearing it stated so clearly still made them furious.
The only consolation was that Janice wasnât completely blinded by love. She finally saw through the sc*mâs intentions.
Probably flustered from being exposed, Cody acted angrier, as if Janice had insulted him.
âJanice, youâd better think carefully before you speak.â Codyâs tone was icy, with a hint of warning.
He was still extremely arrogant. âWhy would I do that? Do you still consider me your boyfriend?â
Janice froze, her body instinctively recoiling.
Cody meant a lot to her because he came into her life when she was deeply distressed. Cody was like a beam of light in her world. His public confession of love made Janice, who was drowning in selfâdoubt, feel recognized.
To her, that was a form of salvation.
When she learned that she could marry Cody in the future, she was genuinely happy. She thought that marrying Cody would free her from her suffocating family. It didnât matter if her mother and brother didnât love her, as long as she had a boyfriend who did.
