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

Chapter 243: Poor Girl Chapter 243: Poor Girl “Me?

I come from a poor background, and yet I have never stolen anything in my life!

But you you were born with everything handed to you on a silver platter, and still, you couldn’t resist taking what wasn’t yours?

How could you?” A few people in the crowd nodded, already swayed by Evelyn’s words.

She was not just denying any involvement, she was flipping the entire situation to make Chineye look worse.

And for people who enjoyed gossip, this was a twist they had not expected.

Chineye stood frozen, her breath catching in her throat.

The betrayal was so sharp, so sudden, that she struggled to process it.

Evelyn, the friend she had trusted for years, was standing before her, lying so effortlessly, so convincingly, that even she, for a brief second, doubted herself.

“I thought you were a good person,” Evelyn continued, her voice growing louder, more indignant.

“That’s why I chose to be your friend!

I may not be a noble lady like you, but at least I have principles.” The weight of Evelyn’s words settled over the crowd like a heavy fog.

Suspicious glances were thrown Chineye’s way.

Whispers grew in intensity.

The shift in public opinion was happening fast, too fast.

Chineye snapped out of her daze when she felt the firm grip of the security officer on her arm.

“Lady Chineye, you need to come with us,” one of them said, his tone neutral but firm.

Panic flared in her chest.

She turned to Evelyn, eyes searching for a hint of the girl she had once called her best friend.

But all she saw was someone she no longer recognized.

“Why?” she breathed out, barely able to form the word.

Evelyn’s gaze flickered, but she held her ground.

Chineye swallowed hard.
