Chapter 175 She was on her knees, looking every bit the picture of remorse. Tears had been welling up in her eyes for a while, making her seem utterly pitiful. Chloe remained unfazed, lounging back with her legs crossed. "You're always kneeling. This habit of yours is really tough to break, huh?" She leaned in, grabbing Linda's chin. "But this little trick of yours? It doesn't work onanymore." As Chloe's grip tightened, Linda winced in pain, tears streaming down her face. Only then did Chloe let go. Through her sobs, Linda pleaded, "Chloe, you were born into a world of wealth and privilege. Everything ceasily to you. But I was born into a nightmare. My mother abusedso much that even dreaming of a new dress was like reaching for the stars. Do you have any idea what it's like to live in such misery?" "I admit, taking Lucas from you was wrong. But he was the only thing in my barren life that I could hold onto. I had to grab onto him with everything I had. I was terrified of going back to that hellish place, of being poor again.

"Losing Lucas might just mean finding another partner for you. With your background, you can easily find someone equally matched and outstanding. But for me, Lucas is the only lifeline in my drowning, hopeless life. I had to cling to him desperately.

"Chloe, you'll never understand my life or how suffocating it was from childhood into my teenage years. If you lived even one day in my shoes, you'd understand why I did what I did." Linda's tears made her look like a rain-drenched flower. In the past, Chloe might've been swayed by her sob story. But now, she was indifferent. Chloe said, "If you loved Lucas, you could have confessed and gone after him openly. But you chose underhanded, dirty tactics instead. How can anyone feel sorry for someone like you?" "Pursued him openly? Could I ever compete with you? Chloe, I know I'm nothing compared to you. If I didn't use those tricks, Lucas wouldn't have givena second glance." "So, you decided to persecuteand ruin my reputation?" Chloe's voice was cold and sharp. Linda froze, her tear-filled eyes staring at Chloe. For a moment, emotions churned beneath her gaze.

So, Chloe had been provoking her, testing her all along. Everything said before was just setting the stage for this moment. If Linda had truly lost her cool, she might have inadvertently confessed. Luckily, she managed to keep her wits about her.

With an innocent look, Linda said, "Chloe, what are you talking about? I only copied your handwriting to make that diary, causing a misunderstanding between you and Lucas. But I never ruined your reputation." Lucas had already cracked the code to Linda's diary. Knowing Lucas, be probably spilled the beans to Chloe today after their unexpected run-in. It might sound more legit if Linda owned up to it herself.

However, Chloe saw through Linda's act. Even though the diary didn't explicitly point fingers, Chloe knew Linda was involved in that incident.

"Linda, I'll ask you one more time. What did you do toduring the summer of our freshman year?" The Nofour content is on novelenglish.net! Linda kept up her innocent facade. "I really don't know what you're talking about."

Chloe stood up, looking down at Linda. It was like an an joy aura om surrounded her, her presence cold and intimidating. X
