Sylvia Ran burst out laughing, completely unrestrained, when she heard Helen Jiang's retort!
"I'm making things up? Helen Jiang, can you swear you haven't fallen in love with Eric Jiang?" Sylvia Ran's face suddenly flushed with an unnatural red. The cold wind whipped around her, but she didn't seem to feel it at all. She turned to stare at Helen Jiang. "Right, a scandal like this—how could you let anyone know? You love Eric Jiang so much, you even warned Nora Yun and picked fights with Cecilia Gu just to get him. But no matter how much you hide it, what's the point? Do you think everyone else is stupid?"
Helen Jiang was so scared she stepped back twice, frantically trying to defend herself: "We're just siblings..."
"Enough. Save those lies for yourself, don't try to fool me." Sylvia Ran kept pressing, "But I'm curious—if Eric Jiang found out the little sister he's always protected has been secretly in love with him for over ten years, how do you think he'd feel?"
Helen Jiang finally panicked, reaching out to cover Sylvia Ran's mouth, but Sylvia slapped her hand away and looked at her mockingly. "What? You can do it but can't admit it? Eric Jiang really is something—handsome, rich. I heard when you were little, you accidentally walked into his room and saw him showering, and ever since then, you became obsessed. You even learned to draw just to capture that image and keep it forever..."
"Enough!" Helen Jiang finally couldn't take it anymore. "Stop talking! What do you want?"
Helen Jiang was truly panicking now.
She never expected the secret she'd fought so hard to hide would be dragged out into the open like this.
Helen Jiang really regretted it.
Why did she even come here?
Sylvia Ran's expression was getting stranger and stranger. If this lunatic kept talking, everyone would know about her and her brother... there'd be no way to keep it secret.
Helen Jiang was trembling all over. She was almost ready to kneel to Sylvia Ran!
It didn't matter if she was accused, but she couldn't ruin Eric Jiang!
He was the man she worshipped like a god in her heart!
The flush on Sylvia Ran's face grew even deeper. She felt hot all over, her mind getting fuzzy and slow.
What was happening?
Was she getting a fever?
Helen Jiang noticed something was off with Sylvia Ran too. She was so scared, she didn't dare say another word—she just turned and ran away.
In the crowd, Charles Yin glanced in one direction. A woman with flawless makeup gave him a subtle nod.
If Cecilia Gu followed his gaze, she'd notice that the woman signaling Charles Yin was actually Ethan Yin's date for the night!
