C99 The Interest He Paid Josie.
Lydia glanced at the people around her, waiting to see what would happen next. She knew that the climax of the show was about to begin.
She pursed her lips and apologized.
"This photo... I..."
She stuttered for a long time before finally saying, "I'm sorry."
Her reaction was equivalent to admitting to the scandal!
Suddenly, the surrounding people started talking again!
"This woman is too shameless."
The short-haired girl beside her glanced at Lydia with hatred in her eyes.
"Sigh, how could our handsome senior be with such a woman?" Another girl looked at Reece with sympathy. Her eyes were filled with indignation for him.
Her classmates' words fell into Lydia's ears.
Even without raising her head, she could feel the cold gazes piercing her spine.
She was fearless of everyone's hatred. She reached out and grabbed the man's arm as she continued, "Are you angry?"
"Who gave you the right to handle this matter alone?" The man's face was dark.
Lydia was shocked by his cooperation.
She forced herself to calm down and continued to work on her whitewashing business with the man.
"At that time, your company was busy. I didn't want you to be distracted because of this small matter."
"My wife was being slandered! It's not a small matter!" The man reached out and placed his hand on her waist. His eyes were filled with love. "You're my top priority!"
Even though she knew that she was acting, she was still shocked by his words.
Estella, "!!!"
Josie, "!!!"
The onlookers, "!!!"
Apart from Lydia, everyone was dumbfounded by their conversation.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the meaning of their conversation was that Lydia did not have an affair with Author. Their real relationship was just a cooperative relationship.
"Oh my god, could it be that the rumors about the scandal were true? Is it true that Lydia and the author are filming an advertisement for the diamond ring?"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd remembered what she had posted.
Because of the first person's reminder, the others also recalled that they had seen similar threads on the forum.
"That's right, that's right. I also saw that thread at that time, but I thought it was just...a blind rumor!"
"It seems that the thread was not made up!"
"Exactly, we all misunderstood!"
Because of their cooperation, the public opinion instantly changed dramatically.
Seeing this scene, the corner of Lydia's mouth lifted imperceptibly.
It was not a waste of her efforts to create a thread to confuse the public. It seemed that these threads had finally come in handy.
"How could that photo be a photo of the movie?! That's not a photo of the movie!" Suddenly, Josie stood up and refuted.
She had taken the photo, and there was no crew at the time. How could it be a photo of the movie?!
It was impossible!
She couldn't believe that it was a photo.
"Miss Woodward, don't tell me that you know more than me?" Lydia looked at Josie coldly and sneered, "What gave you the confidence to say that the photos are not a movie? Could it be that... you were the one who took the photos?"
Josie turned pale. She finally realized that she had been a little impulsive just now.
In order to maintain her image as a good girl in front of Reece, she could not admit that she was the one who took the photo. She was the one who had brought up the public opinion.
Otherwise, she would be disliked by Reece because of her little tricks behind his back.
Josie forced herself to suppress her dissatisfaction and forced herself to smile. "How could it be me who took the picture? Don't misunderstand, Lydia."
"I was just careless just now. What I wanted to say was that the photo was definitely a photo."
Hearing that, Lydia bent her body slightly and leaned over.
Suddenly, the distance between them was shortened.
Lydia could clearly see the muscles on Josie’s face tighten, and her eyes unnaturally dodged for a second. "Oh, is that so? Did you really not film it?"
"Not really, but why are you asking?" Josie was already drenched in cold sweat.
Lydia straightened her body and smiled, "It's nothing. I was just asking."
Josie heaved a sigh of relief at her explanation, but she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.
The photo was clearly taken by her. At that time, there was no crew involved. How did Lydia explain it to her?
Even if Lydia and the Author were to film an advertisement, it would not be easy for Reece to figure out what was going on.
But why did he have a hundred percent trust in Lydia?
Unless...
Unless Reece didn't want to investigate, he was helping Lydia lie!
Josie shuddered. Had Reece fallen in love with her?
Otherwise, who else in this world would be able to convince him to do this?
It was also at this moment that Josie finally understood what the man from the Woodward family meant when he said "I believe in her."
Reece wasn't saying that he believed in the young doctor Miao Mo. He was implying that...
He believed in her!
Unfortunately, she had only realized it when she was dumbfounded.
Josie looked at the man who had been staring at Lydia the whole time, and her heart ached.
Josie pulled Estella and Anne and turned around to walk out, "Let's go. Everyone can go now."
"Why are you leaving? I still have something to prove!" She pushed Josie away and looked at Lydia coldly. "Even if you are the photo, you should explain to me what happened between you and the Maybach driver."
"Don't tell me that you're also in a movie!" Estella snorted and took out her phone to take a picture of herself. "I took the picture. There was no crew at that time!"
As she spoke, she raised the high definition photo in front of everyone.
Lydia was not surprised by the fact that Esther was making things difficult for her. It was as if she had already expected it.
She reached out to hold Reece's arm and smiled. "Classmate Zhou, take a closer look at the man's profile. Doesn't he look like my husband?"
Estella was shocked. "..."
That day, because of her desire to take revenge, she had taken those photos, so she didn't pay much attention to the man's appearance.
Furthermore, when he was filming, his hands had been shaking so much that the man's profile was blurry.
There were a few blurry ones, but most of them were just a third of the man's face.
However, after being reminded by Lydia, Estella suddenly realized that the man in front of her and Reece were indeed somewhat similar, especially that overbearing aura.
"Although the photo is blurry, I can still tell that he's Senior Reece."
"That's right, that's right!"
"No wonder there were so many people trying to discredit her."
Before Lydia could say anything, the people around her started to talk about it.
Staring at her phone, her face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
She felt as if her face was being slapped. Her face was so red that she wished she could find a hole and hide in it.
At this point, all the rumors and slander had been cleared up.
Lydia swept her cold eyes across Estella and Josie. Her mood was extremely good.
Especially when she saw the disappointment in Josie's eyes, her heart was filled with joy.
However, even though she was happy, she didn't intend to let this matter go so easily.
She, Lydia, was never a Mary Sue. She would always seek revenge for her enemies!
Seeing Josie leave in a dejected manner, she quickly pulled her thoughts back and said, "Miss Woodward, please wait."
"... Sister Lydia, is there anything else?" Josie paused for a moment and forced a smile.
Lydia's footsteps paused for a moment, and she forced a smile. "I forgive the Woodward family for what happened back then."
"..." Josie was stunned when she heard this sudden forgiveness.
Not to mention Josie, even Reece couldn't help but look at her.
Lydia smiled and extended her hand to Josie. "Josie, I, Lydia, sincerely wish you and Class C's Class President, Freddie, to be together and have a happy marriage."
With a bright smile on her face, Lydia held Josie's hand to show her generosity.
Freddie's name was like a hydrogen bomb that was thrown between Josie and Anne.
Both of them were shocked.
No, everyone present was shocked!
Everyone in the school knew that the computer genius of Class C, Freddie, and the beauty of Class D, Anne, were dating.
In the past, in order to chase after Anne, he had placed 999 roses in front of the dormitory building and confessed to her. That confession was truly enviable.
This matter was known to everyone in the school.
Wasn't she aware of such a famous incident?
No way...
"Lydia, what do you mean by this?" Anne's expression was extremely ugly as she said, "What do you mean by blessing Freddie and Josie to be together?"
She was the girlfriend of Freddie!
Josie quickly explained, "Ah, Anne, Lydia has never been to the school before. She doesn't understand the situation here. Don't blame her. She might have remembered the wrong person."
"No, I didn't remember wrongly." Lydia shook her head and denied it. Then, she took out a few photos from her pocket and pointed at the man and woman kissing on the screen. "I was taking photos at People's Park a few days ago. When my friend and I were taking photos, we accidentally took a picture of you and the man. I asked my friend who the man was, and he said it was our school's computer genius, Freddie!"
Hearing the word "gown", Josie's face turned pale.
"No, I didn't go to you before. You must have mistaken me for someone else!" She reached out in a panic to snatch the photo from Lydia's hands. However, the next second, the photo was snatched away by Anne.
Josie’s heart skipped a beat when she saw this.
Josie turned around and tried to snatch it away, " Anne, this..."
Anne felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife as she looked at the couple kissing in the photo. Even if the man and woman in the photo had turned into ashes, she would still recognize them.
This person was none other than her boyfriend, Freddie, and Josie, who was her best friend and might very well be her future sister-in-law.
Heh, heh, the two people she trusted the most were actually having an affair with each other!
To Anne, this kind of double betrayal was cruel. She could not help but tremble as she held the photo.
When Josie walked up again, Anne angrily raised her hand and slapped her. "Josie, didn't you say you love my brother? Didn't you say you want to live a good life with my brother and be my sister-in-law? Heh, my dearest best friend's future sister-in-law, explain to me how you hang out with my boyfriend!"
At this moment, Lydia, who was standing beside him, took a step back.
She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Josie, who was bleeding from the corner of her mouth with interest. She was waiting for the real show to begin.
Josie, you schemed against me in your previous life, and now it's time for you to pay the price!
