With someone like Patricia, who has no morals, nobody can make her admit her misdeeds unless she’s been completely exposed.
Ellinor shook her head and gently tapped her forehead. The evidence was right in their faces, and they still had the audacity to argue. It was laughable.
Patricia saw Ellinor's frustrated reaction and thought Ellinor had no more moves to make. So, she pretended to be understanding and advised, "Ellinor, you should actually go and ask your stepmom and sister. Ask them who they met in the park this morning and what they got from that person, instead of asking me. The person in the photo really isn't me."
Ellinor laughed, "Ms. Howard, do you and your mum consider any photos or videos that could prove your wrongdoings as fake?"
Patricia feigned innocence, "We don't think they're fake, it's just that you, Ellinor, can't really prove the authenticity of what you're presenting. Because of Theo, you're inherently biased against me. You've always seen me as competition."
Competition?
Ellinor never saw her as a competitor.
She misunderstood the relationship between Ms. Howard and Theo before, but she decided to let go of him, never thinking of competing with Patricia.
Later, the misunderstanding between her and Theo was cleared up, and she realized that Theo didn't see Patricia as important. So, she wouldn't consider Patricia a competitor.
Patricia sure knew how to score points for herself.
