Chapter 237: Turn The Tables
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.
