Chapter 950
Lena’s scalp tingled, and she didn’t dare look her mother in the eye.
“Don’t act like a quail. Lift your head and look atwhen you speak,” Briana, her mother, was very perceptive.
She could read Lena’s small gestures clearly.
Lena still didn’t lift her head. She just replied, “I don’t know. Don’t ask me.”
Briana walked over and grabbed her hand as she tried to pack up her things. “Stop fooling me.”

Lena said in frustration.
Briana was taken aback by her harsh response. After a few moments of silence, she said, “I suppose that’s true.”

the facts,” Lena said, genuinely feeling wronged.
She had never had improper thoughts about Aaron, nor had she encouraged him to reconnect with his relatives.
Now, she was being unfairly blamed for something she didn’t even do.
She was truly innocent.

“Stop right there. You need to explain yourself,” Briana grabbed her arm.
