Chapter 488

Facing Faith’s fury, Neil shot me a glance. Was he subconsciously assuming that I was the cause of the uproar?

Well, it was understandable. After all, Faith was in my house at the moment.

“Let’s clarify what actually happened first,” Neil tried to pacify his mother, “Then I’ll handle it.”

Faith took a deep breath, attempting to calm herself. Then she repeated my words for the second time. Her emotions were running high, causing her to speak faster than I had, her words interspersed with criticism and distaste for Karina.

Neil’s expression darkened as she spoke, and finally, he turned to me and asked, “Is everything my mom saying true?”

“You asked me about it last night, and I already told you everything. Whether you believe it or not, that’s up to you,” I replied calmly, my conscience clear.

“Irene wouldn’t lie to us. Hiram’s words were clear as day. That woman is manipulative. She even used Hiram as a spy. It’s absolutely outrageous!” Faith was getting worked up again, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

I went to pour her a glass of water. “Here, take a moment to calm down.”

Faith took the glass of water, giving me a deep look before suddenly turning her attention to Neil. “This is all your fault! Irene was so good to you, completely devoted to you, and you didn’t appreciate her. And now look, you’ve invited a wolf into your home, bringing all sorts of trouble upon us!”

I was embarrassed. Despite my exposure of Karina’s deceit, I was honestly at a loss on how to respond to Faith’s praise.

Ryan chimed in, “Yeah, when you first started dating Karina, we were against it. But you wouldn’t listen. Now, she’s secretly had a child, and the child is already so big. What are we supposed to do now?”
