"I'm calling you!" Vera covered her cheek with her hand and took a step forward. Sylvia took a step backwards and said, "You had that slap coming. From now on, get out of my way. I'm the Hanover family's eldest daughter. You would be dead if you mess with me."

Without thinking, Vera charged forward and slapped Sylvia hard.

Vera was agile and fast. Sylvia didn't see her coming until she felt the searing pain on her face.

She exclaimed, "How dare you?"

"Because I can," Vera hissed at her.

Sylvia covered her face and glared menacingly at her. She wanted to tear her apart. Then, she threatened, "Don't think I won't do anything to you just because you're Kimberly's friend."

Vera scoffed, "I bet. After all. you can even seduce your best friend's husband. As for an ordinary friend of your best friend like me, I am sure you would attack me even more ruthlessly. Am I right?"

When Sylvia heard that, her face fell. "What are you talking about? Since when I seduced her husband? I can't understand your nonsense."

"Oh, you don't understand me?" Vera wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and sneered, "Of course, you don't understand. After all, you pretended to be close to Kimberly and faked your innocence in front of Young Master Yardley. You just want to seduce him, right? That's why you purposely dress like this to meet him. Do you think I can't see through your pretense?"

Vera was going all out against Sylvia.

At first, Vera was suspicious about her. Later, when she saw her coming back with Maddox, she could see the joy glistening in her eyes. Since then, Vera knew very well that Sylvia wanted to seduce Maddox. Sylvia argued, "What did you see? That's all in your imagination. You should at least have enough evidence before accusing me. You're blatantly framing me. Since there's no proof, I'm innocent."

"I knew it. I knew you would deny," Vera sneered. Then, she raised her phone in her hand and smirked, saying, "I took some pictures of you and Maddox together and sent them to Kimberly. Guess what she will think of you when she sees them. Can you still be friends by then?"
