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

Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Severing all Ties Chapter 249: Severing all Ties As the murmurs of the crowd continued, Lady Chineye paid no attention to their shifting opinions.

Just moments ago, these same people had been ready to crucify her without hesitation.

Now that the truth was out, they were conveniently acting as if they had always believed in her innocence.

The hypocrisy was exhausting, but she let it slide, there were more important things to focus on.

Her gaze landed on the girl who had saved her.

If not for Nnenna’s quick thinking, she might have been dragged away in shame, her reputation forever tarnished.

The weight of what had almost happened made her shudder.

Taking a deep breath, she turned to the girl who stood there, arms crossed, looking as if this was just another ordinary day for her.

Chineye stepped forward, sincerity evident in her voice.

“I don’t even know how to begin thanking you,” she said, dropping the usual formalities of her title.

“Nnenna, I am truly grateful.

I don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t spoken up for me and recorded that video.” At the mention of her name, Nnenna raised an eyebrow.

The moment felt surreal, just earlier, she had been an unnoticed store worker, and now, the noble daughter of a powerful duke was thanking her.

“It’s nothing,” she shrugged, though the warmth in her chest told her she actually appreciated the gratitude.

Chineye tilted her head, studying her through the face mask and cap.

“You look familiar.

Have we met before?” She frowned slightly, then her eyes widened with realization.

“You look like someone I’ve seen from the royal family.” Nnenna stiffened for a fraction of a second before regaining her composure.

“Do I?” she asked casually, as if the comment didn’t intrigue her.

Chineye nodded, but before she could dwell on the thought, she smiled instead.

“Would you like to be my friend?” Nnenna blinked in surprise.
