The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 146

Sena locked eyes with Charles' icy glare, feeling her face drain of color. She instantly regretted letting Dahlia's taunts get to her, causing her to blurt out the truth about what went down five years ago. "Spill it! What exactly happened five years ago?" Charles barked, his voice cutting through the air with authority.

Sena trembled uncontrollably, tears spilling over. She knew revealing the truth would only inflame Charles' anger, but she couldn't keep it bottled up any longer.

Through her sobs, Sena explained, "Capital College had just one recommendation slot from the jewelry competition five years ago. Dahlia mentioned that a professor called Samuel had his eye on Evelyn and was planning to recommend her. "If Evelyn got the nod, Dahlia would miss her shot. I wanted Dahlia to go to clinch first so that your dad would notice her and give his approval, and she could eventually join the Jenkins family. So..."

Reflecting on that moment from five years ago, Sena felt deep regret, not for hurting Evelyn, but for doing it all for someone like Dahlia a two-faced snake. It just wasn't worth it.

Sena's heart seethed with anger. She shot a resentful glare at Dahlia, who was still acting all innocent, which only stoked her fury.

Dahlia was a master at playing the part.
