Chapter 871
“Madam Edith, I can testify that Brittany was the one who got the Jade Maiden Scripture!”
“That’s right. It was all thanks to Brittany. That rotten bastard had nothing to do with it!”
“Nikki, you must have been mistaken.”
The disciples spoke out one after the other, choosing to side with Brittany.
“Y–you all!” Nikki was annoyed.
She couldn’t believe all of them were exactly like Brittany. They didn’t hesitate to change the truth. It was outrageous!
“Did you hear that, Nikki? Everyone here saw it. Are you still going to argue with me?” Brittany smirked triumphantly.
She looked at Nikki as if she were a fool.
In the Jade Maiden Sisterhood, other than Madam Edith and a few elders, nobody dared to go against Brittany. She could distort the truth as she liked.
“Madam Edith, please believe me. I’m not lying!” Nikki didn’t give up and tried to get Madam Edith’s support.
“Many of them are saying you’re wrong; how am I supposed to believe you?” Edith’s expression was frosty.
“It seems like exhaustion is making you confused. If there’s nothing else, you should return to your room and rest.” With that, Edith turned around to leave.
“Madam Edith!”
Nikki panicked and grabbed her sleeve. “I’m not lying. It’s Brittany who-!”
“Shut it!” Edith grew impatient and slapped Nikki across the face.
Following the crisp sound, Nikki was knocked to the ground. Her cheek swelled as blood. trickled down the corner of her mouth. She struggled to get up.
“You spoke ill of your senior and showed no respect to your elders! You have overstepped your boundary! You must be taught a lesson. Otherwise, you’ll repeat the same actions or worse!
“You will kneel here until night! You’re not allowed to get up before then!” Edtih’s tone was sharp, and her expression dark.
“Madam Edith?” Nikki cupped her cheek, feeling lost. She wasn’t lying.
She was just asking for justice. Was that wrong?
1/2
“How dare you!” Brittany glared at Nikki, enraged.
“Nikki Horst, are you questioning me?” Brittany roared.
“I’m just speaking the truth.” Nikki lowered her head slightly, but her gaze remained. unyielding.
“The truth? Hmph! You’re just trying to undermine me!” Brittany’s expression soured.
“We’re guild members, and I can’t believe you’d challenge me on behalf of an outsider!”
With her seniority in the guild, no one dared talk back to her, even when she was oppressive and unjust.
She couldn’t believe Nikki questioned her publicly and embarrassed her. Nikki should have known her place!
“Brittany, don’t you have a conscience? We can’t just ignore it when Dustin helped us out,‘ Nikki reasoned.
“Shut up!” Brittany’s temper flared, and she slapped Nikki hard across the face.
She screamed, “Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you lecture me?”
“You-!” Nikki bit her lips, feeling wronged. Her face was swollen from the slap.
Just then, Edith finally spoke up, “Enough! We’re all members of the same guild. There’s not need to argue about a small matter.”
“Madam Edith, I’m telling the truth. Dustin handed the Jade Maiden Scripture to me personally before I handed it to Brittany!” Nikki tried to explain.
“Do you have proof?” Edith asked impassively.
“The other disciples saw what happened. They can vouch for me!” Nikki pointed at them.
“Oh, is that so?” Edith looked over lazily at the other disciples.
“Madam Edith is asking a question. All of you must answer truthfully!” Brittany’s expression was icy, and her gaze was hostile.
