Calista looked at them coldly.
She had always known that Ophelia was beautiful. At work, she carried a cool and collected demeanor. But now, without any embellishment, she looked almost ethereal.
It was no wonder Lucien had fallen for her. Now that Calista thought about it, it truly was no surprise.
“There wasn’t much of a problem at first, but someone accidentally pushed me into the flowerbed, and now…” Ophelia hadn’t meant to sound like she was tattling, but being pushed into a flowerbed out of nowhere left her feeling a little resentful.
Lucien’s expression shifted. He hadn’t quite grasped what Ophelia was implying when Astrid jumped in and started complaining.
Only then did Lucien notice Calista, standing quietly in the corner of the room.
“What are you doing here?” he asked.
Calista sighed. “I’m here to take care of my sister. Is there a problem? Or do you not trust me to do even that?”
“Calista, how could you say that? You clearly weren’t being careful. It was such a steep fall. Did you push Elia on purpose?”
Astrid didn’t sound like she was blaming Calista. She just seemed shaken by what happened to Ophelia. And because of that, her words
sounded quite beljevable.
“What exactly happened?” Lucien didn’t look at anyone else. His gaze was fixed on Calista.
a lowered her gaze, as if deliberately avoiding his.
“It was my mistake.”
Hearing her just take the blame without trying to explain herself, Lucien’s expression darkened. Before he could say anything, Astrid
burst into a sob.
“Cali, Elia has always given in to you. How could you do something so cruel to her? You’re not a child anymore. How could you not know how dangerous that spot was?”
