Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

141 The greatest sacrifice

Sometimes, the person you'd take a bullet for ends up being the one behind the gun.

On the way to the headmaster's office, Patricia kept a raised chin with her face in battle mode. She was ready to bite those girls for framing Nina for something she would never do. Patricial might be a lot of things, but she was also huge on loyalty.

She believed in Nina. She believed in her best friend. What Nina was being accused of was ridiculous! But alas, when they reached the headmaster's office, this was what they heard as soon as Miss Sandford opened the door.

"My friend Patricia borrowed it from me! She and Penny hadn't been on good terms. You can ask our classmates if you like! They would know that there was a situation that involved the two of them!" The fierce look on Patricia's face stiffened as her steps slowed down.

Huh?

Nina's sniffles and hiccups mixed along with her remarks. "I'm not saying Patricia might've done it, but it's not me! Please, believe inc.

"Hah!" one of the wrongly accused students scoffed in dismay. "Headmaster, she's lying! Even though Patricia Miller doesn't have a good reputation, I don't think she would do this!"

"Nina, are you stabbing your friend in the back just to save yourself?"

"Wow! You're really something, huh?"

"Girls, calm down." the headmaster frowned as he cast the wrongly accused fan members a glance. "Nina, are you certain about this?"

Nina hiccuped and pursed her lip, lowering her gaze. "Headmaster, it's not me. Patricia is my friend, and even if it's true that she has a bad reputation, I don't think this is something she would do."

The trance of uncertainty in her voice still gave off a different meaning.

For a moment, everyone could only watch how Nina tear up helplessly. She was pitiful, but at the same time, she showed a bit of certainty in defending herself.

Since the person she mentioned was Patricia, others started to feel a little swayed.
