Chapter 1669
“I just can’t wrap my head around it. Erica is an illegitimate child with such a bad reputation, why on earth does
Rosalynn insist on backing her up and protecting her?” Lenora covered her face, slumped on the couch, and started
sobbing.
Everyone’s saying she’s in the wrong but what on earth did she do wrong?
She only has one son, Jacob. How could she possibly stand by and let him get involved with danger?
Graham lowered his eyes, keeping silent for a moment “Have you ever thought that Rosalynn, being as smart as
she is, would choose her friends wisely? Do you really believe Erica is as bad as the rumors claim?”
Lenora looked up, frowning at Graham. What are you trying to say?”
“Nothin’ much.” Graham hesitated, then finally said, “I just feel like you’ve shifted your resentment for Erica’s mom
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtonto Erica herself. It’s messing with your judgement!“
“What do you mean, shifting my resentment onto her? When have I ever resented someone as insignificant as her?
Can’t you see how bad Erica’s reputation is? How many men has she slept with?”
“And what about Jacob? Graham interjected sternly. “You’ve said it yourself before, Jacob changes girlfriends too
quickly. So, it’s okay for Jacob to fool around, but it’s not for someone else’s child?”
“She’s a girl! It’s not the same!” Lenora shot back immediately.
Graham was crystal clear. “What’s the difference between men and women? We’re all human!”
As she was deep in thought, Lenora’s phone rang.
It was Jacob’s cousin, a little girl Lenora was quite fond of.
After hearing what Graham had to say, Lenora was so upset she felt like she might have a heart attack. She didn’t
want to argue with him and calmly answered the phone: “What’s up?”
“Something’s happened!”
“What’s happened?” Lenora sat up straight immediately.
“A bunch of media outlets just reported that Kelly, Erica’s half-sister, has been framing and slandering her ever
since Erica was nineteen! We have misunderstood Erica, it seems… she might not be that kind of promiscuous
person…”
“No way!” Lenora stood up, instinctively denying it.
“It’s true, the Carter family have already got their lawyers on it. I asked Orval’s wife, and she said they’ve got solid
evidence.” The other party urgently said Tve got reliable info that the Shields family will soon issue a statement
acknowledging the issue and cutting ties with Kelly!”
“That must be the Carter family trying to clear their name by throwing Kelly under the bus!” Lenora still didn’t
believe it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was silence on the other end.
“This is a big deal. It’s only blown up on foreign social media so far, but domestic social media will soon report on
it.” the other party said seriously. “We’d better not let Jacob see this. I’m afraid he won’t be able to handle it.”
This woke Lenora up.
“I got it!
“Do you want me to keep you updated with any new developments?”
Lenora wished she wouldn’t.
But the call ended
Lenora sat back down on the couch, her expression somewhat dazed.
“What did I just say?” Graham slapped his thigh, 1f Erica really was that bad, Rosalynn wouldn’t be friends with her.
Now the truth is out, it’s clear someone’s been framing her!”
It’s the Carter family cleaning up their own name!” Lenora insisted.
Graham opened his mouth, then waved his hand dismissively: “Whatever, Erica’s somebody else’s wife now, she’s
completely out of the picture for Jacob Whether she’s innocent or not, it has nothing to do with us now.”
