The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1004

Haillie furrowed her brow, “Ellinor, what are you trying to say? That Patricia’s been using me? How dare you badmouth Patricia!”

Ellinor barely held back a laugh and took a small sip from her water glass, “Haillie, haven’t you noticed? All these years, Patricia’s been playing the same trick. She gets others to do her dirty work. All she does is shed a few crocodile tears in front of you guys, playing the victim to get what she wants.

Haillie was adamant that there was nothing wrong with her friend, “Patricia is innocent! She’s been pure and kind since we were kids and wouldn’t even hurt an ant. She’s not the scheming type you described. Plus, we protect her because we want to! Ellinor, I think you’re just jealous that Patricia is well-liked.
