The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 163

Seeing the expressions of those around her softening, Judie doubled down. "Besides, we aren't the type of people to be swayed by a few careless words. Think about it seriously. Even if Leilani has been to prison, so what? Mr. Langley and I were aware of this. Leilani didn't lie to us."

"On the contrary... Brenda, on the day of Mr. Langley's eightieth birthday, even if you wanted to remind him, you should have done it in private. But doing it in front of so many people? Whether you're trying to satisfy your own selfishness or actually thinking of him, you know best in your own heart."

Judie's sharp gaze shot toward Brenda. Gone was the girlish innocence she showed in front of Leilani. In its place was a rare dominance.

Judie's words hit the mark, causing the people around them to subconsciously turn their eyes toward Brenda.

Those scrutinizing gazes made the already guilty Brenda even angrier. She blamed all this embarrassment on Leilani. If not for Leilani, would she be in this awkward position?

Brenda wanted to argue back in a fit of rage. But Judie beat her to it, striking first.

"Alright, it's good that the misunderstanding is cleared up. Everyone should be more alert in the future. Don't let people who claim to be acting 'for your own good,' but actually don't consider the consequences, appear around you."

Judie glanced sarcastically at Brenda; the meaning was clear.

Brenda missed her best chance to argue. The looks many people cast at Leilani were no longer filled with the previous disdain and contempt, but rather with apology and admiration. Some even took the initiative to approach Leilani.

"Ms. Sloan, I heard that your medical skills are brilliant. I wonder if it would be convenient to exchange contact information?"
