Chapter 253: Saving Valerie___4

Naively, Valerie shook her head, refusing to accept David’s opinion of her best friend.

“Uncle…” she started in a feeble voice.

“Dammit it Valerie stop being foolish and just listen to me, i am your uncle, i want only the best for you in life. Look around and ask yourself why we are all here and why we look horrified?”

Valerie’s eyes welled up and David groaned. The girl was just too weak, it was no wonder someone was taking advantage of her. He would make it a point to speak to Thomas about Valerie, something needed to be done before she found herself in another fire.

“Tell her.” Phoebe ordered Belinda.

Belinda’s squeaked out a callous laughter that sent chills down some of their arms.

“I was so close.” she muttered and then turned her eyes which had an erratic look to Valerie. “Yes, that’s right, you stupid little cunt, our friendship died along time ago. You are a pretender and backstabber and i have been patiently waiting to get my revenge on you. If they had not showed up and ruined my carefully crafted plan, i would have sent you into a world of inescapable hell.”

Someone gasped, it was Andre. The others just stared back and forth between the two young women.

Valerie blinked a few times and a cloud of confusion settled in her mind on hearing her best friend’s callous words.

“Belinda what are you talking about? Is it me you are referring to as a cunt? What plan and hell are you talking about? Were you really planning to harm me? I don’t believe it, you are my best friend. Is someone forcing you to say these things?” She naively asked

Phoebe cleared her throat. “Valarie, this girl isn’t your friend. She planned to have you raped by that man sitting over there.” She pointed at him. “You did not fall asleep, you were drugged.”

“Not just that.” David continued after her, “This insolent and shameless thing has confessed that he is infected with HIV, your friend here is aware of that and she wanted him to infect you deliberately. We came right on time to save you” David’s forcefully expelled air from his nostrils.

“WHAT? That cannot be right.” Valarie swallowed repeatedly, her chest rose and fell quickly. She shook her head in disbelief, Belinda would never do such a thing to her. She raised her eyes to meet those of her supposed best friend. “Belinda, is this true? It’s a lie, isn’t it?”

A snigger came from Belinda’s lips. “You seem surprised but you shouldn’t be. I learnt how to be ruthless from the best teacher, you. There is a stone where my heart used to be after what you did to me.”

Valerie stood up unsteadily with David’s support. She had a pained expression on her face as she placed a hand to her chest.

“Me? What did I do? Even if I did do something to hurt you, couldn’t we talk about it? How could you plan to get me raped and get infected with a deadly virus that has no cure?” Tears sprouted out of her eyes.

Her reaction only made Belinda more furious, hot tears rolled down her cheeks. “Cut the bullshit Valerie Saxon! Of course you do not remember. You never take accountability for your actions. You always do this! Play the good girl such that the world can take pity on you but i see right through you. I will never forgive you because I got raped and it was all because of you.”

“My God!” Grandma Mayfair’s hand clenched on her chest, she didn’t know what to think. “What is she accusing you of Valarie, explain yourself.”

She was not the only one to be taken aback, everyone else was just the same. What in the world was going on between these two young women?

Valerie looked really innocent, she seemed to be incapable of what she was being accused of. In fact her eyes became moist immediately and everyone that looked at her felt their emotions being pulled. They wanted to come to her defense.

“Ancestor, please explain this to me, what the hell have i walked into?” Phoebe was perplexed.

Belinda had a genuine look of betrayal in her eyes so it was possible she was being truthful and Valerie harmed her first.

“That girl is lying! You know how sweet Valerie is, she can never do such a thing. Order her to tell the whole story before you judge Valerie. ” The spirit hovered around aimlessly.

Connie and Sylvester had no idea what to do so they just kept quiet and stayed out of it. Valerie meanwhile sought for answers on her own.

“Yo…you got raped because of me? How? When? I don’t know what you are talking about. And why didn’t you tell me when something so horrible like that happened to you?” Tears rolled down Valerie’s eyes.

David’s narrowed eyes stared at Belinda who was sobbing too. “Tell us everything and leave nothing out.” He crossed his arms. “Valerie if you did something wrong, you are going to face the repercussions, even if i am your uncle, i will not hide your crime.” He warned.

Valerie shook her head in denial. “Uncle I swear, all I have done is be nice to Belinda. After her family went bankrupt, I have been the one paying her tuition plus that of her three siblings, I bought them a comfortable house and give her half of my monthly up keep, I also take care of clothing and all the hospital bills because she is like a sister to me…”

“This is why I to resent you!” Belinda screamed sharply. “You Valarie Saxon cannot help but brag about the things that you have done for me. Did I ever ask you to do any of those things for me?

You gave me your used clothes and bags, bought me a cheap house smaller than the one i used to live in. Even though you have millions on your account you never once offered to pay back any loans for my family or give us capital to rebuild our business.

You are a Saxon, your family could have saved mine if you asked them to. If you had done that for me, would i have to depend on you?

Do not act like an angel Valerie, you didn’t help me out of the goodness of your heart but treated me like a charity case that you can tell everyone about you maintain your image as a sweet, kind person.” Belinda’s tongue dripped with venom with every word she spoke.

Belinda’s rant was eye opening for everyone that had squeezed into the tent. Of all reasons to hate someone to the point of basically sentencing them to death by infecting them with an incurable disease, this was so stupid.

So stupid that it made no sense.

Phoebe was bewildered. “Is this why you did this?” She was terrified as to how some people’s brains worked. Valerie had done her best to look after Belinda and her entire family and this was how her friend had decided to pay her back!

Even if Valerie had told people about the help she was rendering to Belinda’s family, so what? At the end of the day, she was putting a roof over their heads, feeding and clothing them, taking care of their education and giving them millions.

Phoebe knew that half of Valerie’s monthly upkeep was at least five million. What exactly was Belinda unhappy with? How many people had best friends that were willing to give them 5 million monthly on top of all the other things she was doing?

Belinda was insane, nothing else explained it.
