The support of her friends was the warmest light in Nevaeh's heart.
With a soft smile on her lips, she reassured them, "Don't worry, he won't dare to bully me."
After saying that, she raised her gaze to Ryan, her eyes turning cold and glinting with a sharp anger. "If you have something to say, say it right here."
Feeling her wariness and fury, Ryan clenched his jaw and lowered his head. "I was wrong about everything in the past. I shouldn't have immoral thoughts towards you; it was stupid of me."
As he spoke, his apology faded, and a flicker of unidentifiable anger flashed in his eyes.
He continued, his voice tight, "But I've already been punished. I've lost everything, my dignity included. Nevaeh, can you please just stop targeting me?"
Nevaeh furrowed her brow, feeling completely confused by his words.
After the last incident, she had heard from Frank about Ryan's punishment and knew that he had lost everything that mattered to him.
