Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 2226

At this point, who didn't know the truth? There was no need for any further investigation.

Maggie and Lily had always been close, constantly sharing photos of each other on Facebook and shopping together. Now, with Lily suddenly turning on her, it had to be from sheer panic at what had just happened—she wouldn't have lied. She was telling the truth, no doubt about it.

Besides, even if there was any question, how could Grandma Edith not see right through it?

If Athena truly was her long-lost granddaughter-if her own flesh and blood had been bullied like that-how could she possibly stand by and do nothing?

Grandma Edith's grip on her cane tightened as she stared at Maggie across the room.

"Maggie, is there anything left for you to say?"

Maggie was so furious she wanted to march over and force Lily to her knees, but with so many people watching, she didn't dare. Besides, the bullying back then hadn't exactly been subtle; anyone could find out with the smallest inquiry at the school. What was the point of denying it now?

She'd never imagined Athena would bring up the bullying at a moment like this. And Grandma Edith-was she out of her mind, siding with an outsider so resolutely?

"Grandma, I was so young back then. I didn't realize what I was doing was wrong. I swear I didn't mean it."

Grandma Edith's expression was stony. She remembered the last time at the church, when Athena and Maggie had gotten into a fight. Back then, she'd disliked Athena, thinking the girl had too hot a temper. But now, looking back, it all made sense-Athena must have run into her bully unexpectedly, probably got provoked, and simply couldn't hold back.
