Divorced but Delighted

Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Full of Scars

An unnatural look flashed across Vanessa Foley’s face for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

She denied it firmly, “What’s wrong with the Boyle family? After you turned 14, besides letting you to give the room to Aleah, where have we wronged you? You were raised by the Boyle family, and now you’re an ungrateful person!”

She roared at Cierra Boyle and finally revealed her true face.

Aleah Boyle chimed in, “That’s right, sis. When I came back at the age of 14, Mom and Dad said that I was their biological daughter and asked you to give me your room, which you also agreed to do. Except for moving you to a smaller room to live in, isn’t our life the same? We ate, wear, lived, and went to school together. What did our parents do wrong?”

She and Vanessa Foley insisted on this set of words.

Anyway, so many years have passed, there is no evidence, who can prove that they abused Cierra Boyle back then?

Back then, those old ser vants all went back to their hometown to take care of their grandchildren. Even if they were still here, she doesn’t believe they would speak up for Cierra Boyle!

Not only did she refuse to admit it, but she also asked Draven Trevino to join her.

“Draven, you often come to my house to hang out with us. You know how we treat Cierra. Wasn’t she always with us?”

Hearing this, Draven Trevino turned to look at Cierra Boyle.

She hid all her emotions and stood quietly in the middle of the crowd, with her back straight, facing

all the comments.

He didn’t forget about the past; many images flashed through his mind.

From before Aleah Boyle came back, she used to smile brightly every day, to the time after she turned 14 years old and started dressing conservatively, sitting quietly on the sofa with her head

down.

Her black eyes were always hidden behind her thick bangs, making it impossible to see any

radiance from her.

Later on, he felt that Jiang Cierra Boylewas becoming more and more boring. Like a walking corpse, doing whatever the elders asked her to do.

When Ernest asked her to get married, she obeyed. He hated her because of that and even did not

want to talk to her.

But what if she agreed to get married for other reasons?

“Draven?”

Seeing that he was staring at Cierra in a daze, Aleah called him again.

Hearing this, Cierra also turned and watched at Draven.

Under everyone’s gaze, he remained silent.

After a while, he said slowly, “I don’t live in the Boyle family all the time. I don’t know what exactly happened.”

Aleah was stunned.

She didn’t expect Draven to say that. This was what she had said in his office this morning. How could he… How could he speak up for that b*tch?

A trace of astonishment flashed across Cierra’s face.

She was a little surprised that he echoed with Aleah’s words. It was really strange.

As for what Draven said, it did not surprise her that much.

“I don’t live with the Boyle family all the time, so I don’t know much about this. But when I visited, I didn’t notice Cierra being treated unfairly.”

The implication was that the Boyle family treated their biological daughter and adopted daughter

equally.

Of course, the premise was that there were outsiders around.

As for how did the Boyle family treat their adopted daughter most of the time when there is no

outsider around, it was still controversial.

However, it was obvious that Aleah had already taken his words as the evidence.

“Everyone, you’ve heard it. Mr. Trevino said that the Boyle family has never mistreated her. He grew up with me and he is the business partner of yours. His words should be trustworthy, right?

On the other hand, other than saying that we’ve mistreated her, does Miss Cierra Boyle have any

evidence?”

“Of course I have.”

Her calm voice covered Aleah’s sharp voice, making others feel more comfortable.

Aleah shut up and stopped pretending they were close sisters.

She sneered. “Well, if you have evidence, show it!”

She didn’t believe that Cierra had any evidence.

There was no witness, let alone physical evidence.

She thought: “She couldn’t possibly take off her clothes and reveal the wounds I made when I hit her, could she?” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

She knew what she was doing when she hit Cierra. She deliberately chose the places where no one could see her wounds to hit. She didn’t believe that Cierra could take off her clothes in front of

everyone!

While she was thinking, Cierra took a step forward and unzipped her gown.

Aleah’s eyes widened.

When Draven saw her unzipping her gown, his heart tightened and he couldn’t help stepping forward to her.

However, he was stopped by Coby,

Coby’s expression was indifferent, and his eyes were cold. “Mr. Trevino, you seem to have forgotten what I said.”

Draven’s face darkened as well. “Look at what she’s doing!”

She was going to take off her clothes in front of so many people!

Coby stood still in front of Draven and said, “Cierra knows what she’s doing.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cierra’s gown fell to the ground.

Draven looked at Cierra darkly.

He found that the dress was still on her body. It just lessened a few wrinkled layers of cloth, which

reduced some sense of design.

It became a new gown, which was simple and elegant on her slender body. The hollow design added a bit of charm and beauty to Cierra.

Without those wounds, it would be more perfect.

All the guests present thought so.

They also sighed with emotion that how come the flamboyant beauty in front of them was covered

with scars.

There were knife scars, burns, and so much more.

One uneven scar after another, and there were bruises, which were probably from being pinched. All those scars left incurable marks on her body.

By checking the scars, it was not hard to tell that those scars were old. No one knew how many years they had been there.

Moreover, they were all on her back, which couldn’t be self-harmed.

Many of the guests here had their own children. When they thought about how children in their teens had been abused like this, they couldn’t bear to watch any longer and turned their heads away with tearful eyes.

There was dead silence in the room.

The deadlock was broken by Coby.

He took off his suit and put it on Cierra. He glanced at Aleah coldly and said, “Ms. Boyle, are you satisfied with Cierra’s evidence?”

Aleah opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound.

She was speechless and she could only look at Draven.

She did not care about everything around her anymore. Now, there was only one thought in her mind. If Draven knew this, he wouldn’t want to marry her, would he?

But Draven didn’t even give her a look.

He had been staring at Cierra all the time, not even blinking.

“No wonder she reacted so strongly when I said those words this morning.” He thought.

Ugly body? Haha, it was some people’s hearts that were ugly.

It was him who was blind that had never discovered her pain. He even only felt that she was getting timider day by day. He thought she only dared to lower her head and listen to the others, and she completely lost herself.

But who would dare to raise their head and let themselves live in the sun when they were scolded and beaten all day long?

He blinked, and his eyes welled up with tears.

He wanted to walk over to Cierra, but Coby’s clothe was already put on her, and he was always

standing beside her to protect her.

What could he do now?

Draven, I really didn’t do it on purpose. You know how serious my illness was in the past. I didn’t know what I was doing at all.”

As Draven looked at Cierra, Aleah suddenly burst into tears and shouted.

But it didn’t work anymore. Draven just looked at her coldly and avoided her touch.

Aleah’s hand was suspended in the air.
