All Chapters of Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother : Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

No wonder every parent wanted their children to be tall. Being tall made one look intimidating; being short diminished you.Brenda clearly didn't expect my retaliation. Her portly figure fell back clumsily, and she had to gather herself. Humiliated, she cursed at me, saying that I was uncouth and uncivilized.I was so mad. She truly thought that I would allow her to disrespect me blatantly. Fine. I had tried to be courteous, but she would have none of it. I wasn't going to let her accuse me of something I'd never done."Mrs. Loxley, please mind your words. Your baseless accusation provides enough grounds for a defamation lawsuit.""I don't need any evidence to prove that you're a bitch. You seduced my son, and you deserve to be called out. Look around you. You're in Jinovy. You're on my territory now."Behind her, the two women continued to fuel her anger. Somehow, Brenda truly thought that she owned Jinovy. She continued to hurl insults at me as if I was a scumbag who needed de

Furthermore, many people had seen Matthew coming to talk to me. Brenda's boisterous behavior and lack of substantive evidence also made many distrust her claims."Leave me alone now, Mrs. Loxley. If you hurt me, I'll hold you accountable.""I will shove you and you can't do anything about it!""Mom, what are you doing?" A loud bellow echoed through the air. Brenda froze in her tracks. Her stumpy arms and clawing fingers looked ludicrous mid-air.I turned around, surprised. Why was Matthew here?Leo and Helen slowly guided Matthew to the scene.Then, Helen let Leo handle Matthew. She ran toward her mother and dragged her to where she had come from. On their way back, they were seen engaging in a hushed conversation. Helen's mother followed her daughter obediently. She too was mortified by what Brenda had done just now.Matthew leaned against Leo. His haggard countenance suggested that he was still in pain. He looked at his mother with a mix of emotions—there was sadness, disapp

Now that Helen had apologized to me sincerely, how could I be mad at her? Her mother was her mother; she was she. I was mad, but I shouldn't get the two things mixed up."You think I'll forgive you after a simple apology?" I pouted playfully and looked away.Helen sniffled and continued, "What do you want me to do, then? Write an apology letter and post it on the school's forum?"What a bad idea. I didn't need more publicity."You'll buy me breakfast for a week. Otherwise, I won't forgive you."I gave her forearm a nudge. Helen was stunned for a while. Then, she leaped and clung to me like a sloth. "No, I'll buy you breakfast for a month! A week isn't enough to make my guilt disappear. Luna, you're a dummy! You should've used this opportunity to ask for anything. I can buy you a mansion if you want."See? That was the difference between a rich person and an ordinary person.I was off to a bad morning, but Helen brought warmth back to my world like the bright sun.Matthew and I

Matthew and Helen played a pivotal role in my resounding victory. They were the reason why the debacle concluded that quickly."Are you sure?" Colin squinted his eyes dubiously."Hehe, I might have exaggerated the whole thing a bit. Matthew came, and let's just say that an explanation from him was a hundred times more effective than anything I could say.""I see. Either way, always prioritize your safety. Give me some time. It'll be over soon."I was so caught up in my overconfidence that I didn't hear what Colin said in the end.After we hung up, Helen, who was about to fall asleep, propped her head up on one elbow and stared at me."Shouldn't you go to sleep? It's eerie to stare at me like this when it's so late at night."Helen pursed her lips as if she had just found something amusing. "Lulu, you like Colin, don't you?""Of course, I do. He's my friend. I love him."She shook her head. "I'm not talking about that kind of love. When you were talking to him, your eyes sparkl

I deleted and recomposed my reply many times. In the end, I only sent out one word, "Goodnight."Matthew didn't send me more text messages. I stared at my phone screen until it automatically switched off.While I couldn't return Matthew's feelings, hurting him was not my intention. Yet he was hurt both mentally and physically after what had happened.His birthday fell on Sunday. Helen called and asked if I wanted to attend his birthday party. She told me that his childhood friends would be there to celebrate the occasion. None of his family would be there.For a moment, I was enticed. I wanted to be there to apologize to him. Regardless of what his family had done to me, I couldn't deny that he had given me his heart.But as I thought further, I was sure that Matthew had endured much of the grief in the past month. The answer I had given him that night must have plunged him into the depth of despair. Soon enough, he would begin healing and move on.Attending his birthday party mi
