Tears welled up in Eris' eyes.
"Wendy, how can I admit something I didn't do? Are you convicting me just because of Vernon's
receipt? You said I interfered in your relationship with Brian.That's not true! Wendy, I know how much
you liked him.So when he confessed his love to me, I rejected him without a second thought.Yes! I do
have an abandoned Facebook account with photos of me and Brian.But Wendy, have you forgotten?
You took me with you on your dates with him.You were there when those pictures were taken!"
When Eris started her career as an actress, she deleted most of the contents of the account in order to
prevent her fans from discovering it.
Although most of the photos were her and Brian, there were no intimate ones that could put her on
jeopardy.
With narrowed eyes, Eris continued, "Wendy, you can't consider this as evidence that I've stepped in
your relationship because you're just looking at things you want to see.You said that I stabbed myself?
That's ridiculous! When Brian found out that the baby in your womb wasn't his, he did tell you that he
had been with me for a long time.But, it wasn't true.He just said that out of spite, but you took it
seriously.You were so mad back then that you went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife.You really had
an intent to kill me!"
As Eris told this story, she began trembling in fear.
"Wendy, do you know that when you stabbed me, it almost pierced my uterus? The doctor said that if
the knife had gone deeper, I wouldn't be able to bear a child and be a mother my whole life.If it was
true that I stabbed myself to be with Brian, then it was too great of a price, wasn't it?"
Eris turned to look at the reporters with tearful eyes and added, "I was sent to the People's Hospital at
that time.I believe that my record is in the hospital.If you don't believe me, you can go there and ask the
doctor yourselves."
The reporters exchanged a glance.
Wendy and Eris were both convincing, and they both also had evidence.For a moment, the reporters
were at a loss about who to believe
"Eris does have a point as well" they thought.
It was indeed a high price if she stabbed herself just to be with Brian.Not to mention, it almost cost her
the ability to become a mother.
Rich families attach great importance to their family line.
If Eris was unable to become a mother, Brian's family would not accept her.
Wendy, on the other hand, seemed that she was telling the truth, too.
The reporters were confused.
Seeing that the reporters' expressions softened a little, Eris continued, "Brian took care of me while I
was in the hospital.But before I was discharged, my mother told me that Wendy had a massive
bleeding and died.I was devastated.When I finally left the hospital, my parents told me that they had
already taken care of Wendy's funeral.If these things hadn't been exposed today, I wouldn't have
known the truth until now."
Eris paused for a moment and let out a sob.
"Brian took care of me when I was at the hospital.He was gentle, thoughtful, and kind.I must admit,
men like him are attractive and easy to fall in love with.After Wendy's funeral, he confessed his love to
me again.But because Wendy had just passed away, I rejected him again.It was only later that I finally
agreed to be his girlfriend.Not long ago, I met Wendy again.I didn't actually recognize her when I saw
her at the shooting site.She has completely changed.When I found out what her name was Wendy
Finch, I was sure that she was my sister.That was when I found out that she was still alive and that she
had been in the US these years."
The hall lapsed into silence.
Eris sniffed and continued, " I felt so sorry for her because I was with Brian.I've actually thought of
returning him to her, but it was not that easy.Brian and I have been together during the years that
Wendy was away.We love each other.I couldn't do it, and neither could Brian.So, we decided to make it
up to Wendy instead.We've agreed that no matter what she needs, whether it be psychologically or
financially, we will do our best to satisfy her."
Eris' knees started to hurt after kneeling for a long time.
How she wished she could tear Wendy apart!However, she still had to pretend to be guilty to gain more
sympathy.
At the thought of this, she walked on her knees towards Wendy, held her hand, and looked up at her
with eyes brimming with tears.
"Wendy, it's all my fault.If you think I stole your boyfriend, fine.I'll admit it.You can scold me all you
want.You can even hit me as long as it eases your anger.I promise I won't fight back.All I want is your
forgiveness."
Eris looked pure and innocent that when she begged on her knees for Wendy's forgiveness, it swayed
the crowd.
Even Wendy was impressed.
Eris was indeed a great actress.She was able to reverse the situation in just a few minutes.
Those reporters were just mad at her.
But now, they were silent.It was apparent that Eris' words misled them.
"Wendy"
"Are you done with your acting?" Eris was stunned.
"Wendy—"
"Alright.You may continue if you aren't finished yet."
Wendy shook off Eris' hand.
As if on cue, Roger walked over and handed her a wet tissue.She took it and wiped her fingers with
disgust.
To Wendy, Eris was so disgusting that even a touch made her feel sick.
Eris was infuriated upon seeing this.
However, there was nothing else she could do at the moment but to pretend to be weak.
Therefore, she quickly adjusted her emotions.
Tears streamed down from the corners of her eyes.But instead of wiping them, she let them slowly slide
down her face, making her look pitiful and pathetic.
Some male reporters could not help but feel sorry for her.
"Wendy, you've gone too far! Ruben and Cacia may have hurt you, but you can't involve innocent
people in your hatred.Eris is your sister!"
"Yes! Although she's with Brian now, it's because she believed you were dead.You should be generous
and forgiving." Wendy sneered.
Without a word, she threw the wet tissue to the floor.
The reporters' faces darkened "Wendy is so hateful!'’
"What I hate the most is when people who don't know the whole story ask me to forgive." Eris' eyes
widened.
"Wendy..."
"Eris, I didn't want to humiliate you too much because we're sisters.But now, since you want your
reputation in ruins, I'll make that happen."
'What does she mean?' The veins on Eris' forehead bulged
"Does Wendy have something else up her sleeve?' Eris lifted her gaze and saw a bright smile on
Wendy's face.The hair on the back of her neck prickled, and a sense of foreboding arose in her heart.
