Chapter 215
Phyllis was taken aback by Rosalie’s words and her face turned bright red instantly
She almost forgot that Helena was admitted to Hawthorne University not due to her own merits, but because Edward donated a building to that school. Essentially, Helena wasn’t much different from Rosalie, who didn’t get into college.
However, some lies, if repeated often enough, could even convince the liar, just like in Phyllis‘ case.
She couldn’t gain entry into the old money circle in Hasmond, so she resorted to associating with people who were inferior to the Graham family.
Those elderly ladies in her social circle would go out of their way to flatter her, throwing all sorts of compliments her way.
They also frequently used the fact that Phyllis had a granddaughter studying at Hawthorne University to flatter her.
Hawthorne University was undoubtedly the elite university of Caldwell, ranking among the top universities globally. Only the cream of the crop. the highest caliber students, were admitted to this prestigious institution
At first, Phyllis felt a bit uneasy when she heard this flattery. But after hearing them repeatedly, she genuinely believed that she had raised a granddaughter who had been admitted to a prestigious university,
This lie was repeated so often that Phyllis ended up fooling herself into believing it.
At this moment Rosalie directly tore off Phyllis‘ disguise without mercy. Phyllis felt extremely led immediately. Especially when she saw
Rosalie’s deliberately feigned disappointed gaze, Phyllis even felt that Rosalie was throwing her face
the ground and trampling on it
