The Bound Between Us

Chapter 583

Cynthia's voice was dripping with fake sympathy, and her face showed concern, but to anyone listening, her words had a totally different vibe.

She was basically hinting that Anastasia had been rather reckless before marriage, having a kid out of wedlock and not even knowing who the father was.

Cynthia's vague gossip made people who didn't know Anastasia well think the worst of her. The rumors spread like wildfire, making Anastasia look like a woman of questionable morals. The society ladies gasped, "We've never heard such a thing!"

"That kid must be what, five or six by now? So she had a child while still in school?"

Cynthia quickly added more fuel to the fire: "Exactly, my niece got pregnant as soon as she started college. And she didn't even finish her degree; she got expelled."

Expelled from college?

The ladies whispered among themselves, shocked at the bride's supposed behavior. Cynthia, pleased with herself, moved on to her next target, spreading more scandalous stories about Anastasia.
