Chapter 401: Gossip 404

Reading Julcy Gossip in Her Mind Chapter 404 Used As A Pawn

It seemed as though Janice had already become accustomed to being treated this way. After all, her own mother and brother had chosen Cecilia over her without any reason, so she had resigned herself to this reality, never once considering the need to dig deeper.

Observing Janice’s expressionless demeanor, Isabella sighed, feeling sorry for her. There’s nothing much I can do. And here I was figuring out a way to punish this se’m harder.

But suddenly, Pamela, who had been ‘silent until now, finally lost her composure.

Seeing Cody and Cecilia together, the undeniable lipstick smudges, and hearing Janice’s painful.

confession, Pamela knew deep down that it was all true. Cody’s attitude toward Janice had always been off. He knew she was being bullied, yet he never stood up for her. On the rare occasions when Janice and Cecilia clashed, if Cody was there, he always sided with Cecilia, remaining indifferent even when Janice was visibly upset and wronged.

Back then, she was brimming with satisfaction, pleased to see Cody’s girlfriend miserable. At that moment, however, she felt a chill down her spine..

Was I used as a pawn all along, like Isabella had said earlier? How is this possible? No, I must be able to find a logical explanation. How could Cody be in love with Cecilia? What does that make Janice? All along, we’ve been targeting Janice. Were all our efforts in vain?

“No, no. It can’t be… Cody… was always there for Cecilia because she was his best friend’s sister.

That’s why…” Pamela was in shock, but she instinctively rebutted the obvious truth with her preconceived notions.

However, upon seeing those indelible lipstick marks, Pamela was at a loss for words, her lips trembling.

The Quirks were stunned, too. We’ve heard of Cecilia being Cody’s best friend’s sister, too. But Cecilia came from an orphanage. Why would she have a brother?

Only then did Isabella’s mind wander, and she remembered something.

She had previously learned that in order to protect Cecilia’s pride, Dylan had insisted that Janice conceal. her identity at school.

Considering how snobbish these guys were, they must’ve favored Cecilia because she had some sort of status.

Isabella pondered hard. Don’t tell me Dylan did something heinous.

“What brother? Who is her brother?” Carlos also sensed something was off and immediately questioned.

Pamela seemed to have grasped a strand of hope and was relieved. It was as if by proving Cecilia’s extraordinary identity, she could somehow find an excuse to justify herself.

Cecilia’s face turned pale at that moment. Guiltil she was about to interrupt when Pamela beat her to it, saying to Carlos, “Didn’t you know? She’s Dylan’s younger sister! Dylan and Cody are best friends. That’s why he asked Cody to look after Cecilia!”

The Quirks were all stunned.

BGB Chapter 404 Used As A Pawn Cody, too, was at a loss for words.

Right then, Carlos still didn’t think Dylan was insane. After all, Dylan had always expressed his desire to have an adoptive sister and seemed to share a close relationship with Cecilia. Therefore, Carlos simply thought that Dylan regarded Cecilia as his sister, which was why he referred to her as his sister in public. It was no different from telling others that she was a close friend.

Hence, he merely grumbled. “He doesn’t seem to care about his own sister but treats a stranger like the apple of his eye. And he even asked his sister’s boyfriend to look after this stranger? Has he lost his mind?”

His words, much like a bolt from the blue, stunned everyone into silence.

“What did you say?” Pamela demanded, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Carlos was taken aback by her strong reaction.

“Is Cecilia not Dylan’s sister?” Pamela shrieked, “What do you mean? Who is Dylan’s sister?”

If she’s not Dylan’s sister, then Cody is clearly lying about caring for his buddy’s sister. If Janice is Dylan’s sister, why would Dylan allow Cody to hurt her?

Carlos paused for a moment and asked in shock, “What do you mean? Do you think Cecilia is Dylan’s biological sister? She doesn’t even share the same surname as him. My and Dylan’s sister is Janice. She has the same surname as us. Is that not obvious enough?”
