Chapter 1826
Caprice stared at Heather with gaping eyes. She made herself look as vulnerable as possible to a point where it seemed like she was going to break out into tears at any second.

It was a look that garnered sympathy, and it seemed to hold up a mirror against the ones who made fun. of her and made them question themselves.

The ones in the crowd who were mocking her only a second ago had become silent. They looked at her and were at a loss for what to do.

The rest of them stared at Heather expectantly.

There was a subtle shift in her expression as she said, “Caprice, we might not know each other very well, but | know you’re nothing like what they’re making you out to be.”

This was a deflective answer to cover her hind. She was trying to suggest to the crowd that she did not know enough about Caprice to make any further comments.

In her mind, Caprice scoffed at the subversive reply, Before anyone else could get a word out, she remarked, “I know, but even if we’re not very close with each other, you are very close to Liam. I’ve known him since we were children. You must have heard him speak about me and should have a general idea of the kind of person | am.”
