She Flash-Married To His Rival
Chapter 172

What happened tonight was like an unbelievable dream to Moira.

However, she was not the only one who felt it unbelievable.

Bernice could not think it through no matter how hard she tried. Cynthia was going to marry Barclay in the future, yet she didn't grasp such a good opportunity tonight. Not only did she not take the initiative to deal with Moira, she even spoke up for Moira.

Bernice thought about it for more than half an hour but still could not figure out what Cynthia was thinking.

Hearing that Cynthia had finally changed into a new dress, Bernice immediately left the rich ladies she was chatting with and went to Cynthia in her high heels.

Other than Bernice, Sasha Dodson, who had always been on good terms with Cynthia, did not understand, either. "Cynthia, why did you speak up for Moira just now?"

It was such a good opportunity just now. As long as Cynthia didn't speak, Moira wouldn't be able to defend herself.

Regardless of whether Moira pushed Cynthia or not, the onlookers would have preconceived notions.

Moreover, Cynthia was the one who was going to marry Barclay!

Everyone in Arnelo knew that the Covington family did not acknowledge Moira as their daughter-in-law and that she would not be Barclay's wife for long. Cynthia didn't need to care about Moira at all.

Even if Cynthia indeed jumped into the swimming pool to frame Moira, the Covington family had ways to turn black into white.

However, Cynthia had helped Moira clarify the matter. Sasha found it hard to accept the truth.

The summer night was not cold. After soaking in the pool for a few minutes, although Cynthia had taken a shower, she still felt a little unwell.

She rubbed her nose and said in a muffled voice, "I just told the truth."

"But..."

Sasha was about to say more when she saw Bernice walking in with a frown and a puzzled look. "Cynthia, are you alright?"

Sasha held back her words tactfully and greeted Bernice. "Mrs. Covington."

Bernice glanced at Sasha and nodded. She quickly shifted her gaze back to Cynthia and asked the same question as Sasha. "Cynthia, why did you speak up for Moira just now?" Cynthia sniffled. "Because I fell into the pool by accident."

Bernice frowned. "Even if you accidentally fell in, you don't have to..."

Too many people were around, and Bernice did not want to make things too clear.

It was not difficult to understand Bernice's hidden meaning. Cynthia smiled at her and said, "Mrs. Covington, Moira is not as bad as you think. I think she's worthy of being Barclay's wife." Bernice, who was still puzzled, did not know what to say when she heard Cynthia's words.

What was going on?

The marriage alliance between the Covington family and the Hurst family had been decided three years ago. Cynthia also knew three years ago that she was Barclay's future wife. However, Barclay had suddenly married Moira. It was fine if Cynthia was not angry, but why was she speaking up for Moira instead?

"Cynthia, did you hurt yourself? The marriage alliance between the Hurst family and the Covington family was agreed three years ago. You also said that you like Barclay. If nothing goes wrong, you and he should be engaged this year.

"Moira appeared and snatched your position. Why do you still think she's good?"

Cynthia looked at Bernice and pursed her lips. "Moira is indeed a good person."

Bernice, who still tried to persuade Cynthia, was speechless.

What was exactly going on?
