NovelEnglishChapter 64 I'm disappointed, Mrs. Malfoy Of course, it didn't make sense to Arlina. Why was she afraid of a country bumpkin just because he said a few words? "I'm not scared, just surprised!" Arlina screamed this in her mind.
Jeff, though, stayed stoic, anger brimming in his eyes.
"Didn't you try to kill Old Master Scavo?" Trying her hardest to sound harsh, Arlina finally spoke up. But it was obvious, her voice had an underlying tone of fear. "Ricky found out and you framed him for it. You are exposed, there's nothing you can do. I won't blhim for trying to get back at you." Arlina finished her final words, her voice filled with disdain as she criticized Jeff for his alleged evil deeds.

Without warning, the door swung open with a force that sent a gust of wind coursing through the room.
Jamie stood frozen in shock as she laid her eyes upon Arlina, her expression etched with disbelief. Liam, standing beside her, shared the sincredulous gaze.
"What did you just say?" Jamie's voice trembled, her frustration evident as she directed her question towards Arlina. The pain in her eyes highlighted the personal connection she held with the subject at hand. "Ricky tried to get back at Jeff, does that mean Jeff's accident isn't a coincidence but something that was caused by Ricky?" Arlina, taken aback by the sudden intrusion stared at the Young Miss of the Scavo Family. She was mentioning Jeff's nas if they were close and a dread feeling arose in Arlina's heart.
Her earlier fear disappeared and all she wants to do now is expose Jeff. She won't allow Jeff to get his way.
"He is lying to you!" Arlina uttered defiantly. "He is the person who tried to kill 01d Master Scavo and Ricky was only trying to save the Old Man. Jeff is a liar, he is trying to extort more money from you! He framed Grace and her Son!" Jamie and Liam stared at Arlina in disbelief, wondering where she heard those absurd words. Isn't Arlina Jeff's stepmother? Why is she trying to put Jeff in trouble instead of fighting the person who caused the accident? Liam was the most surprised. He suddenly realized why Jeff didn't live in the Malfoy Mansion. If he was living with a woman like Arlina, he would have been framed for actions he didn't commit.
Jamie's annoyance grew palpable as she stepped closer to Arlina, her voice now sharp as if she didn't care who Arlina was. "Did you bother to find out the truth before making such harsh accusations? Or did you simply choose to believe the worst?" silence enveloped the room as Arlina realized Jamie's words carried weight Her confidence wavered, and her eyes shifted to Jeff, unable to meet Jamie's penetrating gaze.
At that moment, Liam stepped forward, his voice calm but carrying a sense of anger. "Jamie is right, Mrs. Malfoy. There is more to this story than you know." He paused, allowing his words to sink in. "Ricky, along with his mother, attempted to kill Old Master Scavo. It was Jeff who bravely intervened and saved them." Arlina's eyes widened, her mouth agape in shock. Of course, she still believed Jeff had brainwashed them.

Arlina's words ground out, wanting them to believe her, "Why are you believing an outsider, not Ricky and his Mother?" Jamie was very annoyed, hearing this from her. "I can't believe you. I've respected you a lot, Mrs. Malfoy. I've always admired your courage but you've really disappointed me! Jeff saved Grandfather when he was dying, he saved him five years ago, and guess what, he didn't even ask for a dime. We are the ones owing him, not the other way wrong." The truth had been unveiled, revealing the depths of Arlina's misjudgment.
Emotions swirled within her, a mix of embarrassment, regret, and confusion.
She struggled to find the right words to respond, Jamie, her annoyance transformed into hatred, took a step towards Arlina.
"You see, Mrs. Malfoy, we must not jump to conclusions without knowing the facts. Jeff is far from evil; he's the savior in this story." Arlina's skepticism began to crumble under the weight of the truth. She took a deep breath, steadying herself as she attempted to comprehend the magnitude of her misjudgment.
Slowly, she lifted her gaze, meeting Jamie's eyes.
"I... I'm sorry," Arlina whispered, her voice filled with uncertainty. "I didn't know the whole story. I was only trying to help." "Aren't you Jeff's Family too?" Hearing this, Arlina even felt more annoved, humiliated, and embarrassed. Jeff had truly been going around telling his friends about him being part of the Malfoy family.
However, she had lost face in front of these young adults and it wasn't the best feeling.
