Tina gritted her teeth and stubbornly refused to accept defeat.
âI said that I didnât know it was a fake.
Whoever sold me that ring lied to me!â
I countered, âCaleb told me that the Barton family experienced some financial problems after the reform.
Perhaps thatâs why you were forced to pawn off your real jewelry.
Now, you can only wear fakes to keep up appearances.
â
âYou Little-!â
Tina was horrified that I had exposed her.
Her face turned livid with anger.
Everyone began pointing at her and whispering.
I could tell that they believed what I had to say about Tina.
Gritting her teeth in resentment, Tina turned to the crowd and said,
âDonât believe her! This woman is evil.
When we were in Roz Town, she often abused Janiya.
Sheâs just worried that IâLL try to avenge my niece.
Thatâs why sheâs slandering me in public!â
Everyoneâs prying eyes shifted towards me.
But I was completely unfazed my Tinaâs claim.
âYou sound so certain that I abused Janiya.
Do you have any evidence?â
Tina froze and was rendered speechless.
She swallowed and seemed to have thought of something.
She immediately showed a look of self-righteousness and said, âJaniyaâs caregiver can prove it.
Donât try to deny it, Debra!â
I raised my eyebrows and replied lightly, âYou were already deceived by whoever sold you that ring.
You mightâve been deceived again.
â
âBitch!â
Tina was so angry that her face turned red and she stomped her foot like a child in the middle of a tantrum.
âI think so, too.
â Jenifer echoed my sentiments.
Her cold gaze swept across the room as she announced, âFrom now on, I refuse to attend any occasion that involves Tina.
Please donât invite me anymore.

Under everyoneâs awestruck gaze, Jenifer turned around and led me away from the party.
She walked gracefully and leisurely, like a white swan shuttling across a peaceful pond.
Debraâs POV:
Jenifer and I went back to the villa together.
As soon as we got home, she asked the servants to close the gate.
And when it was just the two of us alone in the living room, she immediately pulled a long face and began to scold me.
âDebra, it was extremely rash of you to expose Tina in front of so many people! Have you ever thought about the consequences of your actions?â
âIâm sorry,â I said in a low voice, lowering my head slightly.
I couldnât stand the idea of Jenifer being Laughed at by others because she suddenly had to leave the party for being âill.
â I knew she only considered doing that to protect me.
So, I had no choice but to fight back.
