Chapter 828 The Woman Behind The Curtain

“Tiria, what happened was...” Renata took some time to calm down before she regained her voice. “Don’t you dislike sour drinks? That glass of apple juice was too sour, so I added some sugar to it, yes! The bag of ingredients that I added to the apple juice contained white sugar!“ Renata, who had finally found an excuse, held the tablet in one hand and Sotiria’s hand in her other hand excitedly. “Tiria, I don’t understand. I added some sugar for your sake. Shouldn’t you be thanking me? Why did you come to me so solemnly with Mr. Connor and said that you’re going to expose me? Tiria, I’m your best friend! Do you not believe me anymore? What are you trying to expose here?” Sotiria’s eyes were filled with desolation. “You’re still acting up even now. Mr. Connor tested the bag that you threw into the trash can. Do I have to fling the test results on your face in order for you to admit this willingly?!” Knowing that since all this had happened, it would make no sense for her to further deny it, Renata leaned on the door as her tanned face turned pallid. Sotiria shook her hand off coldly. “Renata, Mr. Connor told me that no matter how I want to get revenge on you, he’ll be here to help me. I want an eye for an eye.” Renata trembled from head to toe. She glanced at Zachary, who was standing aside silently, and when she caught a glimpse of his cold glare, her legs weakened from fright and she almost knelt on the ground. “Tiria, what do you mean you want an eye for an eye? Make yourself clear...” Sotiria furrowed her brows. “I want Mr. Connor to help me locate two men, get them to force you into drinking the drug that you gave me, tie you to the bed, take turns assaulting you, and then inject the poison that would ruin anybody’s life into your body.” Renata seemed to have fallen into an icy abyss. For a moment, all she could feel was sheer coldness spreading all over her body. Sotiria Green! Four years ago, she had been just a weakling. Easy meat. However, after she’d survived that car accident, Renata felt that her personality had changed. She was no longer the pushover that everyone could bully at will, and she seemed to have become a haughty queen! “No! Tiria, you can’t do this to me!” Renata, who was frightened, threw herself in front of Sotiria once again, grasping her slender arm firmly with both hands. “I admit that I’m the one who spiked your apple juice, but I’m not the person who arranged for those two men to hurt and humiliate you. The person who asked them to inject you with poison wasn’t me either. It was Melina Shore! She’s the one who wants to hurt you! She’s the person who arranged everything!” Melina Shore! A vixen-like face seemed to appear before Sotiria’s eyes when she heard this name. At the same time, she could not help but think of Melina’s husband, who’d had an affair with her... “Melina has always hated you to the bone. She’s wanted to hurt you for a long time. The day before yesterday, she gave me 3,000 dollars and asked me to go to “One Night in Rothesay” with you for lunch. She also asked me to add the bag of powder that she gave me into your drink. Other than that, all the other details were planned by her. “Tiria! I admit that I was wrong. I shouldn’t have betrayed you, but even if you want to retaliate against me, you can’t blame everything on me. The person you should retaliate against the most is Melina, not me!“ Renata was panicked as she grasped Sotiria with both hands, and her sharp nails lacerated Sotiria’s fair skin and left a few blood trails behind. Sotiria did not seem to feel the pain. She tried to bury all the loss and disappointment at the bottom of her eyes, so what was left on the surface of her eyes was irony. “Hah! 3,000 dollars. It’s been four years, and I’ve always regarded you as my best friend throughout this time. I tried to eat and spend frugally every month in order to save money to help you. The money that I would give you when my paintings earned me great revenue was more than 3,000 dollars, yet you actually sold me out to Melina for just 3,000 dollars.” “Tiria...”
