Chapter 79 They Betrayed Celeste

+8 Pearls

Leah clenched her wrist tightly. When her gaze met Charmaine’s, she abruptly turned away with a shocked and complicated expression. “Celeste, how… how could you do something like this?”

Charmaine raised an eyebrow, and the mocking smile on her lips grew sharper.

Ruthless and self–serving to the core.

Celeste’s eyes widened in disbelief, her mind completely blank.

Feeling the weight of everyone’s gaze, a chill crept up her spine as realization dawned. “What do you mean, Leah? Now that the truth is out, you’re really going to throw me under the bus?

“You were the one who told Veronica and me to help you get rid of Charmaine! Now that we’re caught, you’re turning on me? Unbelievable, Leah. You’re nothing but a backstabbing snake!”

Leah shrank back into Olympia’s arms as her tears fell freely as if she were heartbroken. “Celeste, Veronica and I had no idea you would stoop so low. I know you’ve always disliked Charmaine and had always caused trouble for her, but to think you’d create such a scene at Mrs. Alessa’s birthday banquet … I’m so disappointed in you.”

Celeste was livid. She grabbed Veronica by the arm. “Say something, Veronica! You were there—you know Leah told us in the car to help her. Tell them!”

Veronica buried her face in her hands, sobbing uncontrollably. “I don’t know anything! I don’t know anything! Please stop!”

“Stop crying and tell the truth already!”

“Enough! Celeste, you stole Leah’s ring and framed Charmaine. The evidence is clear. Who are you trying to blame now?”
