They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 242

Chapter 242: You Committed a Crime Chapter 242: You Committed a Crime “I’m not going to say I put it there and forgot to take it out because I remember my actions clearly!

It was less than ten minutes ago, how could I possibly forget something like that?” The crowd’s murmuring didn’t stop.

Some still looked uncertain, but others shook their heads as if her defense was nothing more than a desperate excuse.

Chineye clenched her fists, struggling to keep her composure.

“Evelyn, are you defending me, or are you making things worse for me?” For the first time, Evelyn truly looked at Chineye, not as a friend, not as an ally, but as someone caught between two opposing forces.

There was something almost calculating in her gaze, hidden behind that innocent, nervous expression.

Evelyn felt the weight of Chineye’s words, but something deeper inside her stirred, hatred.

Intense hatred.

Chineye’s intelligence… That sharp, undeniable intelligence that had always outshone her.

It had always been an issue, one that, in the past, she had tried to live with.

Chineye, the perfect one.

Chineye, the flawless daughter of a Duke.

Chineye, always one step ahead.

How annoying!

For once, Chineye wasn’t ahead.

And now?

She wanted to totally embarrass this cocky princess.

But she also didn’t want to lose… this friendship filled with benefits.

Evelyn swallowed, her mind racing.
