Chapter 239
Stephany looked over at Arabella in front of her, and her pale face quickly showed a bit of sadness. "Bella, it was all my fault. I apologize to you now. Can you forgive me this time? If you want revenge, come straight to me. Don't blame my family and friends, let alone hurt them, ok?"
Arabella did not expect that Stephany, who appeared for the first time after what had happened earlier, would look so pale and pitiful. "Stephany, so, are you now playing pitiful and pretending to be an innocent victim?"
Stephany took two steps forward. Her eyelashes fluttered, and the tears fell instantly. Then she said, "Bella, I...I really don't know what I did wrong. Can you tell me about it?
"I knew Mr. Lucero long ago. As everybody knows, Mr. Lucero once spent 200 million dollars to help the Snyder Medical Group get through the difficulties. He is handsome, rich, and charming. I admit that I deeply adore him, but we strictly abide by the courtesy between different genders. My lady's education from childhood also taught me how to be reserved and self-loving. We haven't even touched each other, so I don't think it would be a sin to like him.
"Now all the netizens mock me for flattering myself too much. They all know that I did not know that you married Mr. Lucero and became Mrs. Lucero. The truth is, I did not know that before my birthday, but you have always known it.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were Mrs. Lucero, so that I could give up on Mr. Lucero? Dad gave us a birthday party, and everybody knew about the farce. You watched me flatter myself like a little girl in love and stood in the corner mercilessly laughing at me, an affectionate fool. Then, you gave me a fatal blow. Mr. Lucero expressed his love for you in front of the whole city, making me fall into an embarrassing situation. Do you really hate me so much?"
While speaking, Stephany burst into tears and choked up several times. Her face was blurred with tears, and even her shoulders trembled. Her pitiful look immediately won all sympathy.
The onlookers who had been watching the scene started whispering.
"In fact, Stephany is very pitiful."
"You're right. Who doesn't love Mr. Lucero? Arabella knows that Stephany likes Mr. Lucero all the time, but she didn't tell the truth. Instead, she staged a big play on Stephany and her birthdays. Think about it again now. I have to say she's really cruel!"
Rebecca was really angry and thought, "I have really underestimated Stephany in the past. Why didn't I know that she was such a good actress? She's even worthy of an Oscar for best actress." Rebecca wanted to come forward, but Arabella stopped her.
Arabella looked at Stephany and thought, "Well, she has caught the loophole in my scheme and launched a fierce fight back. That's the Stephany I remember. She finally shows her true competence." Arabella straightened her delicate back, and her clear and bright eyes lit up instantly as she felt it was getting more and more interesting.
Stephany's eyes covered with misty tears showed cold calculation and scheming. She thought, "Does she think that it's over now? No, it's just the beginning!"
Then she said, "Bella, I know that you hate me. You hate that Dad sent you to the countryside, making you have only a high school diploma, while I became the first Kaittonese to study at Foxborough Saint Medical College. Fine, it was all my fault. I'm kneeling down to apologize to you now!"
With a plop, Stephany really knelt down.
Her kneeling made everyone gasp in shock, and even Rebecca opened her mouth in disbelief. She hadn't expected Stephany to go all out like this.
However, Arabella was not surprised at all, for Stephany had always been like this in her memory. Stephany already knew how to be dormant when she was a teenager. In order to win her trust, Stephany was once bitten by a dog to protect her. Therefore, Arabella wasn't surprised to see Stephany kneel in public for some purpose.
"Bella, I'm on my knees now. I'm begging for your forgiveness. I've received a lot of stuff from your fans in the last few days. They scolded me, threatened me, and even said that they would find someone to rape me before killing me. I'm really scared. Please spare me!"
