185: A direct slap in the face, instigation fails! (Second update)

Upon hearing this, Rachel Barton's face lost its color instantly.

Sylvia Thompson!

How did Sylvia Thompson know about her pregnancy and abortion?

Only she, Viola Thompson, and their two sisters knew about this.

In this moment,

Rachel felt as if all her strength was drained from her body.

She could barely stand.

She had thought that she could keep this secret from everyone forever, but unfortunately...

What now?

Rachel Barton clutched the railing by the road, her knuckles turning white from exertion.

"Yes," Sylvia Thompson stared at Rachel with a triumphant expression, "You guessed right. The person who told me everything was none other than Viola Thompson – your so-called close friend, best sister."

Sylvia Thompson's voice was gentle, but her words cut like a knife, slicing into Rachel's heart one strike at a time.

Bleeding profusely,

She tried hard to calm herself down, not to let anger cloud her judgment.

She could not let the villain exploit her weakness.
