Chapter 403 Blatant Evidence .
âExactly. Youâve really misunderstood, we were just-âCecilia chimed in, trying to explain as well.
Before she could even defend herself, Isabella cut her off sharply, âAre you sure your mouths didnât collide when you fell?â
Both Cody and Cecilia immediately denied it, but Isabella wasnât buying it.
âOh really? You might want to wipe off that lipstick smudged all over your lips before you continue with your excuses,â
Isabellaâs words immediately drew everyoneâs attention to Cody and Ceciliaâs lips. Though Ceciliaâs lipstick was a subtle, natural shade, the smudges at the corners of her mouth were still noticeable.
As for Cody, the evidence was even more glaringâhis lips were stained with a different color, unmistakably from Ceciliaâs lipstick. The kiss must have been passionate enough to leave its mark all over his mouth.
Christopher chuckled. âIf youâre going to cheat, at least learn how to cover your tracks. Youâre downright amateur.
The Quirks couldnât help laughing out loud.
Cody and Cecilia were left speechless, unable to defend themselves any longer. They could only wipe their lips, which did nothing but confirm Isabellaâs accusation.
At that moment, the atmosphere shifted. Everyoneâs perception of them changed drastically. Cody, the eldest son of the Simmons family, caught in such a scandal? Itâs almost beyond belief.
Isabella smirked. âIf nothing else, theyâve certainly mastered the art of lying. No shame, no hesitation- makes you wonder how many times theyâve fooled Janice before.â
The turn of events this time was quite unexpected. Without much thought, she exposed the shameless couple on the spot. Although Isabella was concerned about whether Janice would be able to accept it, she couldnât just stand by and do nothing. After all, she was the lady of the family and had to look out for those under her.
Better to get the pain over with, rather than prolong the agony.
Isabella then turned to Janice and said, âDo you see now? Youâve been deceived.â
Janice didnât shed a tear, though her eyes were rimmed with red. Her expression was cold as she nodded slowly. âIâve known all along that I was being deceived. From the very beginning, Cody never truly cared. for me. His affection was always for Cecilia. Thatâs why he kept siding with her, hurting me over and over againâ¦.
As she spoke, Janice laid bare her own heart, forcing herself to confront the painful truth. The soâ
called sweet memories she once cherished were nothing more than illusions, distorted by the roseâ
colored glasses she had been wearing.
Cody panicked. âJanice, you⦠How could you dismiss my feelings for you? I can explain. Iâ¦â
âCody, the moment you sided with Cecilia without a second thought, just like everyone else, and allowed. me to be wronged, I should have seen the truth. I was only fooling myself, giving you the power to hurt me. From now on, weâre no longer a couple. Youâre free to treat anyone well, to choose anyone as your mielfriaselâ Janina raid harsnics memena in 45 Mon, Chapter 403 Blatant Evidence quiet, resolute farewell.
78 +5 Pearl âYou⦠You want to break up with me?â Cody stammered, struggling to believe what he was hearing. âDon forget, youâre the one who fell for me. Iâm the one who gave you the chance to be my girlfriend!â
Cody was still acting as if he was doing Janice a favor by deeming her worthy of being his girlfriend, as if she should be grateful for the title. It was truly nauseating.
For a brief moment, Janice felt the urge to argue back, to remind him that it was he who had made the fir move, confessing his feelings and thus making her fall for him.
But then, she realized how pointless it was.
He can say whatever he wants. I was once in love with him, and thereâs no denying that. Since weâre ending things anyway, arguing about that will only complicate things further.
Because of Janiceâs gentle nature, Isabella missed out on a chance to dig deeper into the matter.
âI fell for you because I was blind, thatâs all,â Janice said coldly.
Rosalie hugged Janice, feeling sorry for her.
Cody was seething with frustration and was about to curse when Isabella cut him off, âArenât you going to ask him why he did that? He clearly likes Cecilia, and he shouldâve dated her. Why did he have to publicly confess his feelings for you and date you in name while secretly having an affair with Cecilia?â
Isabella was well aware of the reason, but she couldnât reveal it. Hence, she hoped to force Janice into confronting Cody, effectively ending their relationship, In an instant, Codyâs bravado vanished, his eyes darting around anxiously.
