"Exactly. You've really misunderstood, we were just-"Cecilia chimed in, trying to explain as well.
Before she could even defend herself, Isabella cut her off sharply, "Are you sure your mouths didn't collide when you fell?"
Both Cody and Cecilia immediately denied it, but Isabella wasn't buying it.
"Oh really? You might want to wipe off that lipstick smudged all over your lips before you continue with your excuses,"
Isabella's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Cody and Cecilia's lips. Though Cecilia's lipstick was a subtle, natural shade, the smudges at the corners of her mouth were still noticeable. As for Cody, the evidence was even more glaring-his lips were stained with a different color, unmistakably from Cecilia's lipstick. The kiss must have been passionate enough to leave its mark all over his mouth. Christopher chuckled. "If you're going to cheat, at least learn how to cover your tracks. You're downright
amateur.
The Quirks couldn't help laughing out loud.
Cody and Cecilia were left speechless, unable to defend themselves any longer. They could only wipe their lips, which did nothing but confirm Isabella's accusation.
At that moment, the atmosphere shifted. Everyone's perception of them changed drastically. Cody, the eldest son of the Simmons family, caught in such a scandal? It's almost beyond belief.
Isabella smirked. "If nothing else, they've certainly mastered the art of lying. No shame, no hesitation- makes you wonder how many times they've fooled Janice before."
The turn of events this time was quite unexpected. Without much thought, she exposed the shameless couple on the spot. Although Isabella was concerned about whether Janice would be able to accept it, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing. After all, she was the lady of the family and had to look out for those under her.
Better to get the pain over with, rather than prolong the agony.
Isabella then turned to Janice and said, "Do you see now? You've been deceived."
Janice didn't shed a tear, though her eyes were rimmed with red. Her expression was cold as she nodded slowly. "I've known all along that I was being deceived. From the very beginning, Cody never truly cared. for me. His affection was always for Cecilia. That's why he kept siding with her, hurting me over and over again....
As she spoke, Janice laid bare her own heart, forcing herself to confront the painful truth. The so-called sweet memories she once cherished were nothing more than illusions, distorted by the rose-colored glasses she had been wearing.
Cody panicked. "Janice, you... How could you dismiss my feelings for you? I can explain. I..."
"Cody, the moment you sided with Cecilia without a second thought, just like everyone else, and allowed. me to be wronged, I should have seen the truth. I was only fooling myself, giving you the power to hurt me. From now on, we're no longer a couple. You're free to treat anyone well, to choose anyone as your

"You... You want to break up with me?" Cody stammered, struggling to believe what he was hearing. "Don forget, you're the one who fell for me. I'm the one who gave you the chance to be my girlfriend!"
Cody was still acting as if he was doing Janice a favor by deeming her worthy of being his girlfriend, as if she should be grateful for the title. It was truly nauseating.
For a brief moment, Janice felt the urge to argue back, to remind him that it was he who had made the fir move, confessing his feelings and thus making her fall for him.
But then, she realized how pointless it was.
He can say whatever he wants. I was once in love with him, and there's no denying that. Since we're ending things anyway, arguing about that will only complicate things further.
Because of Janice's gentle nature, Isabella missed out on a chance to dig deeper into the matter.
"I fell for you because I was blind, that's all," Janice said coldly.
Rosalie hugged Janice, feeling sorry for her.
Cody was seething with frustration and was about to curse when Isabella cut him off, "Aren't you going to ask him why he did that? He clearly likes Cecilia, and he should've dated her. Why did he have to publicly confess his feelings for you and date you in name while secretly having an affair with Cecilia?"
Isabella was well aware of the reason, but she couldn't reveal it. Hence, she hoped to force Janice into confronting Cody, effectively ending their relationship,
In an instant, Cody's bravado vanished, his eyes darting around anxiously.
