"Tristan Sterling, you're a monster!"
Wendy Wyatt, her eyes red and swollen, screamed at Tristan Sterling.
The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the private room.
The atmosphere froze. A dead silence fell.
Tristan Sterling took the slap without getting angry, simply raising his bloodshot eyes to look at Wendy.
In the past, if anyone had dared to slap him in public, they would have lost that hand.
In his entire life, only Holly had ever struck him in the face.
But Wendy was Holly's best friend.
He couldn't make things difficult for Wendy. Holly wouldn't like that.
He had previously indulged Vivian Linton's family because he thought Vivian had saved him.
Now that he knew Holly was his true savior, his absolute devotion and affection would be reserved for her alone—and by extension, those she cared for.
"Wendy, have you lost your mind?"
