Chapter 1128

Thinking of all the humiliation she’d suffered at Elliana’s hands and the disgrace she had brought upon herself, Trinity felt a wave of shame so sharp it made her want to disappear.

Her first instinct was to run, but the Craigs’ warnings echoed in her mind, holding her in place. As heads turned toward her, she forced a stiff smile. “Hi, everyone… it’s been a while.”

After the awkward greeting, Trinity turned to Elliana, her grin strained and ingratiating. “Elliana, you’re back! That’s wonderful. We can finally live together again—sweet home.”

Watching Trinity’s act, Elliana could only marvel at how shameless she still was. The words rolled off Trinity’s tongue as if she had never threatened her at Regal Grove or plotted with Wanda to kill her.

Trinity still looked fragile, recovering from the beating she’d taken at IJblent0 Medical University. Her ribs hadn’t fully healed, and though she wore a designer dress and perfect makeup, she couldn’t hide the sickly air clinging to her.

Seeing Trinity pale and frail, the others felt a surge of sympathy. She had, after all, grown up among them. Only Elliana looked on, calm and cold.

Unaware of the hostility between the two, the family members surrounded Trinity with warmth. “Trinity, you look so weak. Are you all right?”

“We wanted to help you before, but we didn’t want to hurt your pride. If you ever need us, just say the word.” ?s s find[?]ovel.net

“You’re family, Trinity. No matter what happens, we’ve got your back.”

Their kind words wrapped around Trinity like a soft blanket. For the first time in a while, she felt a trace of comfort. The tension in her shoulders eased, and she smiled sweetly. “Thank you all. Let’s just drop that matter. You know me—I’ve never been one to hold grudges,” she said softly.

She paused, expecting praise or approval. Instead, the only sound was a cold, mocking laugh—from Elliana.

Sitting at the center of the room, Elliana’s quiet laugh cut through the chatter like a knife.

Jeff, always quick to defend her, caught the tension. “Elliana, why are you sneering?”

Elliana leaned back and gave him a gentle pat on his bald head. Her voice was calm but dripping with sarcasm. “I’m laughing because it’s funny hearing Miss Craig talk about dropping the matter like she’s magnanimous. But she’s just scared—scared the truth will come out.”

Trinity froze, her face draining of color. She hadn’t expected Elliana to call her out so bluntly. Panic flickered in her eyes.

Elliana wasn’t finished. Her gaze locked on Trinity, sharp as a blade. “Miss Craig doesn’t dare investigate who was behind that little ‘incident’ because she already knows it was me. I was the one who had the feces dumped on her.”

Gasps filled the room. “Elliana, you did that?” someone asked. “Why would you do such a thing to Trinity?”

Without a word, Elliana silenced the group’s questions by simply playing a video on her phone for everyone to see.

On the screen appeared the footage from that awful day—clear as daylight, it showed Trinity and her friends plotting to drench Elliana in filth.
