Chapter 151: Chapter 151

Mrs. Chambers’ face changed so quickly that a few of the young ladies were startled.

Did they say something wrong?

"Mrs. Chambers, I was only trying to help you, I was just speaking the truth."

"I think you’re just full and have nothing better to do, right? What do I need your help for? How did your parents raise you? So young, yet so cunning. The next time I meet your parents, I’ll have a word with them about how they didn’t raise their daughter properly, letting her mix with unsavory people. Sooner or later, she’ll be taught a lesson by someone else!"

The young ladies widened their eyes. They were clearly trying to help Mrs. Chambers, so why was she mad at them?

Mrs. Chambers continued, "I know better than anyone how my necklace ended up on Paige’s neck, and everyone here also knows better than you. Do we need you to proclaim justice here? I suggest you go ask your good friend about the relationship between me and Paige, lest you end up being sold out and still help count the money."

Could it be that Mrs. Chambers is so close to Paige Sterling?

The eyes of those around followed Mrs. Chambers’ words, once again focusing on Skylar Hughes.

No wonder there are so many rampant online rumors about Paige having affairs with both Jared Sullivan and the Chambers father and son. They were puzzled about who was spreading such ridiculous rumors.

Now everyone has no doubt that it was Skylar Hughes’ doing.

Skylar felt those eyes on her and thought she had been terribly wronged.

This time, she really was innocent; she hadn’t done anything!

It was all these fools who acted on their own; what did it have to do with her?

Yet, she was the one who brought them, and these self-righteous fools threw her under the bus completely. Who would believe her now?

Now everyone believed that Jared Sullivan’s stepdaughter harbored ill intentions towards Paige Sterling, and it seemed to be true.

She felt like she wanted to die.

And those glances directed at the girls made them tread on thin ice.

It clearly shouldn’t have been . Shouldn’t it be Paige Sterling being scrutinized and condemned by everyone now?

Why are they the ones surrounded by strange looks instead? They didn’t say or do anything wrong!

And Skylar Hughes, hadn’t she promised to be on their side? Why isn’t she speaking up now?

The young ladies who clung to Skylar finally released her, glaring at her to say something.

Yet Skylar was so mentally exhausted now that she didn’t want to talk.

The reason she befriended these people was because she thought they were easy to manipulate.

And now these people turned all their stupidity against her.

Skylar could only think of two words: heh heh.

The atmosphere was tense for a moment, and the young ladies nervously said, "Mrs. Chambers, you’ve really misunderstood us, we mean no harm to you. We just wanted to reveal the truth so everyone knows Paige Sterling stole your necklace, we’re all trying to help you, how could you say that about us?"

"Exactly, we were merely stating the truth. We’ve reached this point, why are you still covering for Paige Sterling, Mrs. Chambers?"

Are you really that afraid of Paige Sterling?

It’s so pathetic for a socialite to act this way.

Mrs. Chambers coldly asked, "When did I ever say it was Paige who stole my necklace?"

"You never said that, but you and Paige aren’t on good terms. Your necklace appeared on her neck, isn’t it obvious she stole it?"

Mrs. Chambers replied, "I lent it to her temporarily."

Can a wife and mistress really get along?

Mrs. Chambers said, "As her aunt, I saw my niece had no jewelry and lent her mine. What’s wrong with that?"

What kind of plot twist is this?

Mrs. Chambers walked over to Paige Sterling, grabbing her hand, "Paige is our niece from the Sterling Family. How many people here knew about this? What, did your good friend Skylar not tell you?"

The young ladies, "...!!?"

They looked at Skylar in shock.

Skylar really hadn’t told them!

Skylar, however, couldn’t bear to look and averted her eyes.

Glancing around at everyone’s eyes...

No wonder when they were speaking so righteously before, people were looking at them so strangely.

So this was all to laugh at them for bravely but foolishly standing up without knowing a thing?

Then Mrs. Chambers patted Paige Sterling’s hand and said, "Who would have thought that lending a necklace to my niece would lead to such misunderstandings? It’s my fault."

"No, it’s just that some people have shit for brains, what’s it got to do with you, Aunt?"

Someone nearby couldn’t help but laugh.

Exactly, who would have thought that even lending a necklace to a niece would be twisted into this? It seems the origin of those online rumors about Miss Sterling should really be looked into, maybe it’s even family spreading them.

This was clearly about Skylar Hughes.

The attendees today were all from the business elite.

Skylar hoped to use this opportunity to let everyone know about her beauty and talent.

Yet now, she only showed everyone her foolishness.

The young ladies were also in despair, looking at Skylar with odd expressions. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥

This explained it: why Mr. Chambers and his son Evan Chambers were so good to Paige Sterling—they were relatives!

Yet, they single-mindedly thought Paige was the Chambers family’s mistress.

In front of so many people, thinking they were doing something righteous, ended up being such an embarrassment.

They were so awkward they could die on the spot.

And Skylar Hughes was the one who caused this situation.

Yet Skylar still remained silent, leading everyone to feel a bit disheartened.

One of the girls came to her senses and immediately apologized to Paige Sterling and Mrs. Chambers, "We’re sorry, we really didn’t know you were, we were just..."

They all turned to Skylar.

As the Sterling daughter, Skylar must have known about Paige and the Chambers family’s relationship, but when they doubted, Skylar didn’t even explain.

When they accused Paige of stealing Mrs. Chambers’ necklace, Skylar even agreed.

This is all Skylar’s fault! What does it have to do with them?

Now they just wanted to clear themselves, ready to completely sell Skylar out.

Skylar knew all too well about these fake friends, knowing they would definitely betray her at this point.

Skylar couldn’t pretend to be oblivious anymore, immediately standing up, "Aunt, I’m sorry. My friends are here for the first time and don’t know the rules. They spoke out of turn and offended you. Please don’t hold it against them. I’ll take them out now."

Mrs. Chambers, with a sarcastic smile, said, "Who’s your aunt? Don’t go claiming relations randomly. I only have Paige as my niece."

Those girls were utterly dumbfounded.
