Miranda cried out, “Auntie, auntie, she’s slandering me. I’m innocent, I didn’t! I really didn’t!”
Completely devastated by the accusations, Miranda didn't know what to say and could only keep proclaiming her innocence. She knew all too well that that wealthy families cared about not only a girl's background but also her character. If they believed what Quintessa had said, she could forget about her dreams of marrying into the Lott family forever.
No matter what how eloquently Miranda spoke now, with that diagnosis and Quintessa’s convincing assertions, Jerome’s parents would never trust her again.
Fiona, looking at the medical report, was so angry her makeup seemed about to cracked. She had liked Miranda, considering her good family background and how she always tried to please her. Fiona had even stopped her son from breaking up with Miranda before.
But now, this years-old diagnosis was a blatant slap in her face. She had thought Miranda was at least a lady, if not an heiress, only to find out she had such a scandalous history.
Nathan’s face darkened with fury as he scolded Jerome, “Look what kind of person you’ve brought into our family, a complete mess nearly entered the Lott family. Get rid of her now. I don’t let me see her again.”
Jerome smirked, “I wanted to break up, but you were the ones who stopped me.”
Hearing about Miranda’s glorious past, Jerome felt nothing but disgust, which was, ironically, a relief. He was finally able to get rid of this woman.
Yet, the thought of having been in a relationship with Miranda for three years and being her 20th—or possibly more—boyfriend made Jerome feel sick. Just one place at Miranda made him feel disgusted.
Quintessa, observing their disgusted expressions, finally felt a sense of vengeance.
The most vulnerable member of the Young family was Miranda. By isolating the Young couple, there was no one to support Miranda, making it easier to bring her down.
