Chapter 192
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 debasing. As the spectating crowd grew larger, her antics became more exaggerated.
From where I was from, we called petty women like her Karens.
However, deep down, I was quite happy. Now, everyone knew Brenda’s true colors.
Those who were watching the drama would know who the bad guy was.
Brenda could insult away. She was just digging her own grave.
“Oh? Explain to us then, Mrs. Loxley. How did I seduce your son? And did you just call me a bitch? I’m just an ordinary citizen. What did I do? If you can’t explain it, maybe my friends and lecturers at the law faculty can help you.”
“Because of you, Matthew was injured and hospitalized. You broke my son and you show not
remorse. You’re a villain!”
I was so mad that I wanted to laugh. I had seen people who twisted the truth, but I had never seen someone who could lie through their teeth! She knew very well why Matthew was injured. Also, look who was making a scene now? Her voice was so loud that the entire building was shaking.

“Mrs. Loxley, I planned to forget what happened that day because I didn’t want to hurt Matthew’s feelings. You know what nasty thing your family did. But since you came all the way here to smear my name, I’ll be seen as the pariah if I don’t tell everyone the truth now.
“So let’s air all the dirty laundry, yeah? First of all, Matthew and I went to the same high school. From the day I met him till the day I came to Jesselton College for my postgraduate, I never had any personal contact with him. Feel free to verify this with your son.
“I believe his call history and text history will provide very convincing proof. Therefore, I never seduced Matthew. Saying that I did is defamation. Secondly, it is by pure coincidence that Matthew and I ran into each other here.
“He wanted to date me. I appreciated his feelings and told him that I’d consider it, but I never pestered him. You can ask my roommate, Helen, about this. Other than my classes, she knows where I’ve been and what I’ve done.
“Additionally, I never planned to attend Mr. Loxley’s birthday party. But Matthew was
looking for a companion. He begged me many times to help him out, and I only said yes out of kindness.”
