Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self r

Chapter 291 Shifting the Blame

Winter not only recanted Angelina’s previous statements but also positioned herself as a good senior, effectively shifting the blame.

Angelina was caught off guard by this turn of events and became frozen in place.

The police confiscated her phone, reviewed the contents, and then inquired, “You claimed that someone manipulated you, but now she alleges that you are defaming her. Now, do you have an alternate explanation for the rumors?”

“I swear I didn’t defame Angela. Winter was the one who informed me that Angela secured her position through illicit means and cheated her way to the top. I trusted her completely, but she betrayed me!”

Fanny lashed out at Angelina, “This is all your fault! If you hadn’t been so foolish to post that, I wouldn’t be here!”

After reprimanding Angelina, Fanny turned to the police with a pitiful expression. “Officer, she’s solely responsible for this. I’m innocent. Can you release me? I was deceived by her.”

The police officer took a step back. “You have a history of similar incidents. This isn’t your

first offense.”

Fanny appeared displeased, but the officer brought up her past record.

“This morning, you were involved in a dispute with Miss Martinez, also related to -defamation against her.”

The officer fixed his gaze on Fanny. “And now you are defaming Angela. You can be considered a repeat offender. If I’m not mistaken, she’s your sister, correct?”

Angelina rolled her eyes at Fanny and impatiently remarked, “Since Angela is your sister, you should call her now.”

The officer added, “If you can reach the party involved and obtain her forgiveness, you may avoid detention.”

Fanny felt a mix of annoyance and anxiety. When she learned that she needed Angela’s forgiveness to evade detention, her initial response was not to reach out to Angela but to call Christopher.

Christopher did not answer the call, as before.

frightened.

She inexplicably recalled Sophia’s previous words, mentioning that Christopher had vowed never to answer her calls again.

“You can’t reach her?” Angelina assumed Fanny was contacting Angela. She looked at Fanny with suspicion. “Are you really her sister?”

“What does it matter to you? Even if I reach her, she’ll be here to forgive me, not you!”

Angelina opted not to pursue further contact and was escorted away, leaving Fanny uncertain about whom to reach out to next.

She considered contacting her brothers but heed to dial their numbers, recalling the

remarks she had made on the forum.

“How long will I be detained in this scenario?” Fanny eventually asked the police officer.

If it was a brief period, she could still keep it under wraps.

“Your offense is not too severe, and you were just following the trend. If you display a good attitude and admit your mistake, the duration can be reduced from three days to one day.”

Upon hearing this, Fanny promptly confessed, “I admit. I admit my mistake.

“Then issue an apology to the party involved on the forum now.”

Meanwhile, Angelina was also issuing an apology. She started a post to express remorse with a sincere tone, elucidating the incident where she was deceived and subsequently defamed Angela.

Angela and Jonathan were dining when Cassie’s call came through.

“Angela, Angelina has apologized to you on the forum.”

Upon receiving the news, Arigela wasn’t surprised. She responded casually before ending the call and turning to Jonathan.

“What’s the matter? Is there something on my face?”

“Angelina has apologized and deleted her previous post.”

“Oh, they’re quite efficient.” Jonathan served Angela some food and reassured her, “Just enjoy your meal. Don’t concern yourself with these matters.”

Chapter 291 Shifting the Blame

Angela felt relieved. After she finished her meal and freshened up, she turned to Jonathan and asked, “Has she been arrested?”

Jonathan pinched her and whispered, “Who?”

“That Angelina who slandered me. She apologized so quickly. Was she taken into custody by the police?”

Jonathan nodded. “Yes, other than her, they also apprehended an accomplice who was very

active.”

Angela asked further, “Do we need to visit the police station?”

“No need. I’ve already told them that you won’t forgive the culprits. They’ll be held in custody directly.”

Angela nodded. “It’s a good idea to hold her in custody so she doesn’t cause any more.

trouble.”

Little did she know that Fanny was the accomplice arrested alongside Angelina, and she was cursing through gritted teeth in the police station.

The following morning, Angela visited Zacharias first.

After examining Zacharias, she started the acupuncture procedure.

“Thank you, Angela. Zacharias felt bad when he noticed Angela sweating profusely after the acupuncture.

t

Angela casually remarked, “If you truly want to thank me, then recover quickly and stop relapsing.”

The reason she was administering acupuncture to Zacharias again was due to his recurring

illness.

Most of the relapses were caused by overwork.

She couldn’t comprehend why Zacharias, as a patient, always kept himself so tense and strained his body constantly. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon hearing this, Zacharias lowered his head.

Angela didn’t care what he was thinking. She went out to rewrite a prescription for Joseph to follow and give to Zacharias, then she prepared to leave.

Joseph halted her. “Angela, Mom has been unresponsive. Aren’t you going to check on her?”

“Mom?” Angela paused in her steps. When she turned to face Joseph, her expression turned

sour.

She really didn’t know what Joseph was thinking when he said such words.

She had severed ties with the Kins Family. Previously, they had even tried to emotionally manipulate her when they wanted her to treat Zacharias.

Now, Joseph was attempting to involve her in Scarlet’s matter.

“She’s not my mom. Scarlet has made it clear that she only has one daughter, Fanny. Why are you mentioning her in front of me now?”

Angela harbored no affection toward Scarlet, despite the latter being her biological mother.

It was precisely because she was Angela’s biological mother and had committed so many heartless acts that Angela was even more disillusioned with her.

She had never felt any love from Scarlet. She wouldn’t make any concessions, even though Scarlet was in bad shape now.

“How can you be so disrespectful?” Joseph retorted coldly.

He seemed oblivious to Angela’s thoughts.

“Even if she made a grave mistake, she’s still your mother. Without her, there would be no

you at all!”

“It’s astonishing that a medical student like you can say such things.” Angela looked at Joseph with a mocking expression. “Do you not recall what she did in the past, or has your memory

been erased?”

Her gaze was sharp and cold, as if she could see right through Joseph.

After speaking, Angela disdainfully turned and walked away.

She felt it was pointless to say anything more to Joseph.

Joseph was incensed and was about to speak. Just then, he heard Zacharias‘ voice from the room. “Joseph, stop.”
