Chapter 161: Chapter 161: You Just Favor Her

Chapter 161: You’re Always Favoring Her

Chloe Collins got up, "Let’s go eat."

Layla Lowell turned around with her things and followed, showing a brilliant smile to the dumbfounded group of people.

Among this group of people, there were not many who genuinely respected her. The exceptions were perhaps the two boys who secretly had crushes on Chloe Collins for her stunning looks. The others were mostly resentful, especially Mr. Curtis.

This time, he lost all dignity in front of the entire school faculty and students.

There was no room for redemption at all.

Soon enough, the video flashing across various screens on campus disappeared, and everything returned to normal.

One by one, the group dispersed while looking defeated, wishing they could find a crevice to hide in.

Mia Nolan was one of them.

In that video, her diary was laid bare, exposed to countless pairs of eyes.

In the diary, she had written of her thoughts and desires – she liked a boy who already had a girlfriend, thinking about how to snatch him away, resenting her mother for always being kind to Chloe Collins, wishing Chloe would have a car accident...

All these had been her secrets, unknown to anyone until now.

Worst of all, Claire had scolded her in front of everyone, calling her a shameless thief.

Normally, Claire bullied others and often ordered her around.

She didn’t care about that lipstick at all. It was just that she saw how much Claire treasured it and wanted to retaliate against her.

But she didn’t expect the unexpected arrival of Wanda Wesley, which had only turned the situation into this mess!

After her secrets were revealed, those who knew her cast strange and curious glances at her, staring at her as if she was some sort of monster.

Those scalding stares forced her to keep her head down.

From childhood to adulthood, she had been praised and respected. Be it the humble small town where she grew up or the high-end neighborhood she lived in now, all the adults who knew her were full of compliments.

She had never been so embarrassed.

With her face flushed, she ran back only to bump into her serious-faced mother.

"Mom..." She exclaimed in surprise.

Lilian Pearce, with a somber expression, said, "Come with me."

Mia followed her into the teacher’s dormitory, where there was no one else inside.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Mia stood with her hands behind her back, her heart uneasy.

Suddenly, Lilian grabbed a ruler, "Stretch out your hand."

Mia was unwilling, and her hand didn’t move.

Lilian’s face darkened further and shouted, "I told you to stretch out your hand!"

Startled, Mia’s emotions burst out, "I won’t! I didn’t do anything wrong! It’s Chloe Collins who has a wicked heart, exposing everyone’s information. You should be punishing her, not your own daughter!"

Propping herself on the desk with one hand, Lilian was infuriated, "You are still trying to argue? You stole other people’s things and then blamed it on them! Tell me the truth, did you or did you not do it?!"

Mia cried, unable to speak but stubbornly unwilling to admit anything from the look in her eyes.

"Ever since Chloe Collins appeared in our family, you have always favored her, treating her even better than me. Who is your real daughter? Even my brother listens to you and treats her as well as he treats me! She has the last name Collins, not Nolan!"

Lilian frowned, "Stop trying to change the subject. This issue has nothing to do with Chlo-Chlo. What I’m questioning now is about you stealing other people’s things, and how I taught you! Can’t our family afford to buy a lipstick? Do you have to go and steal one from others?"

This matter was utterly humiliating.

Mia, with tears in her eyes, didn’t dare to admit her actions, only retorted, "Every time I mention that you are biased towards her, you change the subject. Are you keeping something from me? Do you and her have some other relationship?"

"Shut your mouth!" Lilian angrily shouted.

That roar instantly stunned Mia.

In her memory, her mother had never yelled at her like this before.
