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

Chapter 455

Chapter 454: She Has Faith in Me?

And someone was going to regret crossing the wrong people.

“You’re lying,” Arthur finally said, simply, plainly, as if it were a known fact.

His voice cut through the buzzing crowd like a blade through silk.

The crowd, which had been holding its breath in anticipation of him defending Jana, froze in stunned silence.

Did he just… call her a liar?

Jana’s eyes widened in disbelief. “N-No, I’m not!” she stammered, her voice shaking, though whether from fear, rage, or humiliation, even she didn’t know.

But Arthur didn’t blink, didn’t flinch, didn’t budge. His expression remained cold and unmoved.

That… frustrated her more than anything.

How dare he not believe her? How dare he humiliate her like this in front of everyone?

Fine. If you want to play that game, then don’t blame me for what happens next.

She took a step forward, her voice trembling with a mix of fake sorrow and veiled threat. “You’re Carl’s best friend, yet you’re refusing to help his girlfriend. That’s not what a good friend would do.”

The crowd tensed. Some eyes darted between Arthur and Jana, wondering where this was going.

Jana’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears, but her heart beat with fury.

“And there can only be one reason for your behavior…” she continued, her voice dropping just low enough to sound dramatic, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

“I didn’t want to even think about it,” she said with a deep, shaky breath, clutching her chest as if the pain was real, “much less say it out loud. I didn’t want to tell Carl… because I knew it would ruin everything. It could end your friendship with him if he ever found out.”

The crowd leaned in.

Jana lowered her gaze, voice heavy with accusation.

“But now… now I don’t have a choice.”

A silence thicker than fog spread over the courtyard.

Something explosive was coming.

Arthur didn’t respond.

He didn’t blink.

He just watched her… like a predator waiting for its prey to run out of moves.

But Jana wasn’t done.
