Rosie did not believe a word Corinne said about Anya. After all, why would she when she grew up being best friends
with Anya? She believed she knew Anya the best in the world.
‘No way would Anya use me! She’s the kindest and sweetest person I know!’ debated Rosie internally.
However, there was no escaping from the truth staring at her. Her faith in Anya was completely broken in that
instant.
“How could you stab me in the back like this, Anya?”
Anya remained unfazed. “Rosie, I’m doing this for your own good,” she said in mock compassion. “The truth will
always come out in the end. You might be able to get away with it for a moment, but never forever.
“Sooner or later, the police will come for you, and you might even get a harsher sentence for hiding your crime.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRosie, it’s best if you turn yourself in now. The judge might show you some leniency for doing that.”
Rosie could not stand Anya’s lying face. At this point, she wanted to take her down with her since there was no way
she was getting out of hurting Corinne.
She glared vehemently at her. “Fine! I admit I hired an outlaw to run Corinne over with a car! But you, Anya, should
shoulder some of the blame, too! You were the one who kept telling me what a bad person Corinne was. Even
before you came back from abroad, you kept hinting to me to make trouble for her. Today was no exception. You
indirectly told me to get rid of her. I wouldn’t have done so if it weren’t for you!”
Lucas’ eyes turned colder than ice when he heard what Rosie said. There was no trace of sibling love for Anya when
he looked at her. Instead, there was only hatred.
“You have a part in this too?” he asked.
Anya shook her head innocently. “No, Lucas. I don’t! I really don’t! Rosie is just saying that to drag me down with
her!”
Rosie chuckled softly. She knew she could never salvage her image in Lucas’ mind. Thus, she had no more fear of
him finding out all the shady things she and Anya did to hurt Corinne.
‘If I’m going down, Anya is going down with me!’ she thought. She trusted her, yet she betrayed her in the end.
“Oh, drop the act, Anya! It’s funny that I never realized just how good your acting is until today. This is what you get
for stabbing me in the back! Can you honestly say you had no part in what happened to Corinne today?
“Have you forgotten what you said to me over the phone? Well, let me refresh your memory. You said only with
Corinne dead can the two of us get the men of our dreams. You can’t seriously tell me that’s not you hinting at me
to get rid of her!”
“What are you talking about, Rosie?” whimpered Anya. “You shouldn’t make up lies like that about me! When did I
ever ask you to get rid of Corinne? In fact, I remember clearly I tried to talk you out of hurting her over the phone.”

At that moment, Rosie felt nothing but hatred toward Anya, which was saying a lot as she never hated her before.
‘She should get an Oscar for her performance,’ she thought sarcastically. ‘In fact, I might’ve believed her if I wasn’t
the one she’s trying to frame.’
Feeling it would be useless to continue talking to Anya, Rosie turned her attention to Lucas, who she knew she
would never be able to marry in this life anymore.
“Lucas, I hired the outlaw to run over Corinne. Don’t worry, I’ll turn myself in later. But I hope you’ll see through
Anya’s lies and believe me when I say she was the one who asked me to get rid of Corinne.”
As she spoke, she took out her phone and passed it to Lucas. “In fact, you can check my call history if you don’t
believe me…”
