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

Chapter 246: Indeed, People Change Chapter 246: Indeed, People Change “Besides, videoing, recording or taking a picture without a person’s permission is very rude and a criminal act too.

But I’ll let it go since you are obviously a child in an adult’s body.” Evelyn waved her hand magnanimous earning the crowd’s admiration.

“How graceful!

Now this is how a real Lady should be.” A noble woman nodded at Evelyn’s actions.

“She’s just a nanny’s daughter but she knows more than the real noble child!

Some people should really vacate excellent opportunities for people who really deserve it.” A wealthy old man said using his eyes to refer to Lady Chineye when he said “some people.” A murmur of agreement rippled through the onlookers.

Evelyn knew she was skilled at manipulation.

If she could turn the crowd against this annoying worker, she might still escape.

But Nnenna simply smiled, a chilling, almost amused smile that sent shivers down Evelyn’s spine.

“If I were you, Evelyn,” she began, her voice calm but laced with an underlying threat, “I would keep quiet, because the more you talk, the worse you’re making things for yourself.” Evelyn’s hands clenched into fists, but she refused to back down.

“I will not keep quiet!

Justice must be given!” she insisted, raising her voice dramatically, as if she were the victim.

“You’re trying to say that I took the dress, aren’t you?” she accused, pointing a trembling finger at Nnenna.

“Since it was obviously just the two of us, if it wasn’t her, then it’s definitely me!

I won’t let you defame me like that!” Nnenna’s smile widened slightly, but her tone remained dangerously calm.

She deliberately added the word “Sister” when addressing Evelyn, mimicking the way Evelyn had been sweetly calling Lady Chineye “Sister” while stabbing her in the back.

“Sister Evelyn,” Nnenna said, her voice carrying through the store, “are you really saying that you didn’t put the white dress in your friend’s bag?

That Lady Chineye, who comes from a noble family, who does not lack money, who has always shopped here without issue, just happened to steal something for the first time, on the very day that you were with her?” The murmuring in the crowd grew louder.

When phrased like that, it suddenly sounded completely absurd.
