Chapter 1297

• Liza was left speechless. It was evident that the group around her had completely fallen under Lydell's influence. Over the years, Lydell had carefully cultivated a flawless reputation. She was known for her gentleness, competence, and unpretentious nature. As a result, she was adored by many, with countless men viewing her almost like a goddess. These men had gathered at the charity banquet, eager to impress her and win her favor. At this moment, they were so enamored by her image that they were blind to the reality before them.
• "Don't think you can bully others just because you're wearing the real necklace," they had said. Was this truly how people should speak? Lydell had publicly accused Liza of wearing a fake necklace, and now that her lie had been exposed, she was playing the victim. The hypocrisy was glaring.
• In truth, the people around her knew well that Lydell wasn't as perfect as she appeared. While she had initially made her remark about the necklace with a tone of mockery, many of the men still saw her through rose-colored glasses. Even when Lydell was in the wrong, they made excuses for her behavior, defending her actions with elaborate justifications. When Lydell had suggested that Liza wear her necklace, she had acted as though she was being generous. But now, when Liza mirrored those words, she was being labeled as unreasonable and malicious.
