Chapter 30: Miss Ensford? Or just a fraud?

Two consecutive questions left Amber and Elena pale-faced. The looks they received from the others in the room were filled with unclear implications and veiled mockery. Amber felt uncomfortable under their gazes and was about to speak when suddenly someone preempted her, "So it turns out that the savior was Miss Tina, not Miss Amber. Tsk tsk, I hardly think a fraudster could be any Miss Ensford."

The speaker was Velma Lehman, a member of the wealthy and powerful Lehman family, a force in Ensford no one could contend with. All the Lehman children excelled in their respective fields, all except for Velma. She was uneducated and belligerent, constantly getting into fights. Yet, because she was known for her loyalty, she had many friends. For some reason, she harbored a deep-seated hatred for Amber. An extreme hatred!

Perhaps she couldn't stand Amber's constant air of woefulness. Amber whirled around to glare at her, so angry she felt she could shatter her silver teeth. That despicable Velma! Always looking for trouble with her! When Velma met Amber's glare, she stared back defiantly, "What? Can't own up to what you've done? Hah, I thought you were so noble, but you are nothing more than this. You're just an adopted daughter, given the best of everything at home, yet you always pose as a victim. What's wrong with you?"

With that, the crowd's eyes on Amber felt like thorns. She was rigid all over. She never would have imagined that Jared would dig up the old surveillance footage and publicly display it. All for Tina? But what was she to do? This could ruin her reputation beyond repair.

Amber bit her lip, looking on the verge of tears, "It's not like that..." She tried to explain, but Velma did not afford her the opportunity, scoffing coldly, "Save your tears, no one is bullying you. Who are you trying to impress? The surveillance footage is crystal clear. You, Amber Reed, did nothing to help! Miss Tina tried to save that girl while you stood in the way! After she healed the girl, you came out to claim the credit, hogging their gratitude after being exposed." Velma clicked her tongue twice in disdain, "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!" Amber was so angry she felt like slapping her. But she couldn't. And wouldn't be able to overpower her anyway.

Just as she was about to defend herself, someone from the crowd said, "Gee, I've never been so mistaken in my life. I thought Amber was beautiful and kind-hearted, but it turns out she's just as filthy-minded."

"Yeah, no kidding. Look at the surveillance. When Mr. Farrell's sister fell ill, Miss Amber was right there, just watching coldly. But Miss Tina saw the commotion and immediately went to help the girl, without hesitation, calm and composed, unlike... But, Miss Ensford? How did she even get that title? I'm starting to wonder if she spread it herself."
