They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 246 - 246 Indeed, People Change

Chapter 246: Indeed, People Change Chapter 246: Indeed, People Change “Besides, videoing, recording or taking a picture without a person’s permission is very rude and a criminal act too.

But I’ll let it go since you are obviously a child in an adult’s body.” Evelyn waved her hand magnanimous earning the crowd’s admiration.

“How graceful!

Now this is how a real Lady should be.” A noble woman nodded at Evelyn’s actions.

“She’s just a nanny’s daughter but she knows more than the real noble child!

Some people should really vacate excellent opportunities for people who really deserve it.” A wealthy old man said using his eyes to refer to Lady Chineye when he said “some people.” A murmur of agreement rippled through the onlookers.

Evelyn knew she was skilled at manipulation.

If she could turn the crowd against this annoying worker, she might still escape.

But Nnenna simply smiled, a chilling, almost amused smile that sent shivers down Evelyn’s spine.

“If I were you, Evelyn,” she began, her voice calm but laced with an underlying threat, “I would keep quiet, because the more you talk, the worse you’re making things for yourself.” Evelyn’s hands clenched into fists, but she refused to back down.

“I will not keep quiet!

Justice must be given!” she insisted, raising her voice dramatically, as if she were the victim.

“You’re trying to say that I took the dress, aren’t you?” she accused, pointing a trembling finger at Nnenna.

“Since it was obviously just the two of us, if it wasn’t her, then it’s definitely me!

I won’t let you defame me like that!” Nnenna’s smile widened slightly, but her tone remained dangerously calm.

She deliberately added the word “Sister” when addressing Evelyn, mimicking the way Evelyn had been sweetly calling Lady Chineye “Sister” while stabbing her in the back.

“Sister Evelyn,” Nnenna said, her voice carrying through the store, “are you really saying that you didn’t put the white dress in your friend’s bag?

That Lady Chineye, who comes from a noble family, who does not lack money, who has always shopped here without issue, just happened to steal something for the first time, on the very day that you were with her?” The murmuring in the crowd grew louder.

When phrased like that, it suddenly sounded completely absurd.

Evelyn swallowed hard.

The shift in the crowd’s attitude was instant, suspicion was now turning toward her.

Her carefully constructed image of innocence was starting to crack.

“I know it seems untrue,” Evelyn began, her voice trembling slightly, but that’s the truth!

She took a deep breath, feigning frustration as if she were the one being wrongly accused.

“It’s not my fault that she turned out to be a bad egg.

Just because she’s from Duke Tinrin’s family doesn’t mean she’s a good person!” She pointed dramatically at Lady Chineye, her expression filled with false disappointment.

The crowd murmured, uncertain.

Some nodded, after all, wasn’t it true that people could change?

Evelyn seized the moment, pressing on.

“Even if she was a person of good character before, what if she decided to do something like this today?

People change, you know!” she added, her voice rising, trying desperately to sway them back to her side.

A brief silence followed.

Then “Indeed, people change,” Nnenna agreed casually.

The crowd blinked, confused.

Was she defending Lady Chineye or making things worse?

Even Lady Chineye turned toward her, startled.

What was this girl doing?

For a second, doubt flickered in her heart, but when she met Nnenna’s gaze, she saw something there.

Assurance.

That unwavering confidence told Chineye everything she needed to know.

This girl knew what she was doing.

Nnenna let the silence stretch, letting the tension build before finally speaking again.

“Fine.

I’m tired of this game,” she said, her voice calm but cutting through the room like a blade.

The crowd leaned in slightly, sensing something big was coming.

“In my hands,” Nnenna continued, raising her phone, “I have evidence that Lady Chineye did not steal that clothing.” A wave of gasps rippled through the store.

Evelyn froze.

Her face drained of color.

Nnenna’s lips curved ever so slightly.

Checkmate.

Waves of shock passed through the crowd, their anticipation thick in the air.

They had all been waiting for this, the moment of truth.

The manager, who had been silently praying that she hadn’t made a mistake, felt her throat go dry.

If the girl really had evidence proving Lady Chineye’s innocence, then she had been on the verge of punishing the daughter of one of the most powerful dukes in the kingdom for a crime she didn’t commit.

“Please, show us the evidence,” she urged, her voice steady but her eyes betraying her unease.

All eyes locked on Nnenna.

The crowd, which had moments ago been divided between believing and doubting Lady Chineye’s innocence, now waited with bated breath.

If this girl had proof, it would change everything.

Even Lady Chineye herself, who had felt like all hope was lost, felt a flicker of relief.

Nnenna gave a slight nod, her lips curling up just a little.

She had them right where she wanted.

Slowly, deliberately, she raised her phone.

But just as she was about to reveal the footage She froze.

Her expression shifted, just slightly, but enough for the crowd to notice.

A few seconds passed in absolute silence.

Then, whispers began to spread.

“What’s taking so long?” “Why isn’t she showing it?” “Wait, don’t tell me she was bluffing?” The uncertainty in the air twisted into something more sinister.

A chuckle broke through the silence.

Then another.

Before long, waves of laughter rippled through the crowd.

“I knew it!” someone jeered.

“This girl was just making things up!” “What a joke!

She had us all fooled!” The mocking grew louder, mixed with snickers and scoffs.

Even the manager, who had been ready to reconsider everything, felt a wave of frustration.

“What is the meaning of this?” she demanded, her voice sharp again.

But the one who enjoyed this moment the most was Evelyn.
