Chapter 179 This hit Chloe harder than Linda and Lucas' double betrayal.
Even when Linda stabbed her in the back, Chloe never regretted helping her or genuinely caring for her. That was Chloe's way. Treating others well wasn't about them deserving it. It was about staying true to her own kindness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut now, Chloe was starting to have serious doubts. Was her kindness a mistake? Did being kind mean getting exploited by monsters, ruining your life, and ending up in hell? Linda was on her knees. "It's not true. I swear it's not like that. That summer after our freshman year, Shawn got out of prison and cstraight for me. He put a knife to my throat and demanded I tell him where you were, or he'd killtoo." "At that time, you were volunteering at Saint Mary's Orphanage, living and eating with the kids.
"I was so scared, so I told him.
"I never thought he'd actually go after you, drug you, and assault you.
"I always thought you were so capable, with such a strong family background. I thought he wouldn't dare, but I never imagined he would actually do it." Chloe gripped a silver whistle tightly, almost deforming it in her han, but she fought hard to keep her emotions in check.
"Linda, do you really think I'd believe you? Aren't you and Shawn in on this together? How else would you know all these details?" "I didn't, I swear I didn't. Shawn cbragging toafterward, tellingeverything he did. He even showeda video. I still have it on my phone..." Linda pulled out her phone and played a video. In it, Chloe lay drugged on a hotel bed. Someone was filming from a first-person perspective.
Shawn's sleazy voice sneered, "Bitch, you think you're so tough, but you still ended up in my hands. Con, get up if you can. I'm going to enjoy breaking you." Then he said, "Linda, see this? Your guardian angelis right here. I'm going to ruin her today, and from now on, no one can protect you. Do you think you can becsuperior by befriending a rich kid? When you sentto prison, you should have seen this coming. Just wait, once I'm done with her, I'll cfor you! Filthy bitch! You should be grateful to live in the gutter with me!" The video abruptly ended. Though it wasn't clear, Chloe recognized the voice. It was undoubtedly Shawn's.

Linda was stunned. What was happening?
Lucas' face showed heartbreak mixed with intense, suppressed rage. He quickly approached Linda almost dragging her out. "Linda, you're despicable. After what Chloe went through, you actually framed her.."
Thinking of the contents of Linda's diary, Lucas was livid. A villain Linda violated Chloe, and Linda used this to fabricate lies and spread poison to him. She made him believe Chloe was a promiscuous girl who didn't respect herself. He had even hurt Chloe based on those lies,
Lucas grabbed Linda by the collar.
"Linda, you're nothing butvenomous snake." X
