Serena Beckett was escorted away by two bodyguards.
The hospital room fell silent for a moment before the sound of applause suddenly broke the quiet.
Faye Vaughn turned her head to see it was Wyatt Hawthorne.
A slight smile played on his lips as he looked at her. "You've certainly perfected the art of intimidation."
Faye's expression was taut. "Everyone thinks I'm some soft-hearted pushover. If I don't get tough to protect myself, am I just supposed to let people walk all over me?"
Her words were firm and forceful, causing Finn Hawthorne, who was standing to the side, to feel a pang of shame.
It was his fault for not protecting her.
Serena Beckett had bullied her, yet he hadn't stood up for her.
Faye glanced over and saw Finn Hawthorne lower his head in shame. The favorability score above his head actually ticked up by one point, changing to 35%.
'How interesting. Does he have some kind of masochistic streak?'
