Layer upon layer of grievances almost suffocated her.
She suddenly raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes.
"What kind of person do you think I am? In your heart, have I already become someone who will stop at nothing to climb up the social ladder?"
"Do you really think I left the Prescott Family to climb up to Tristan Sterling? For so-called power and benefits?"
She always thought Curtis Prescott understood her.
Understood her persistence, her stubbornness.
Also understood the grievances and loneliness she bore when leaving the Prescott Family.
She never thought he would look at her with such a suspicious gaze.
Say such hurtful words.
Curtis Prescott looked at her reddened eyes and finally realized he overstepped.
He took a deep breath, trying to steady his voice.
"I didn't mean that, I just... this coincidence is too much, too abnormal. I can't help but be suspicious."
He took a step forward.
