“I wanna show the truth to everyone. Why is rissa stopping me? What’s she hiding? Is she scared?”

Kieran remained silent. There was a cold, oppressive look in his eyes.

rieka continued calmly, “Kieran, I just wanna check the camera footage. Afterward, if you still think I’m in the wrong, I won’tin.”

She sneered. “But I’m afraid you don’t have the guts to face the truth. You just wanna shut me up.”

Her tone dripped with sarcasm. Kieran frowned.

Didn’t this scene feel familiar to rieka? In her previous life, he jumped to a conclusion without evidence, ming her and defending Roschelle.

That time, he locked her up in the storage room of the vi for a month. She could only have one meal every day.

The domestic workers were all snobs. Sometimes, the food had gone bad. It meant rieka had to go hungry.

With the windows shut, the storage room was dark. Then, rieka had a fever, too groggy to tell the daytime from the night, dipping in and out of consciousness.

She cried and begged for the help of the people outside. The nonchnt reply of Kieran’s assistant was all she got.

“Ms. Huston, knock it off, or you’ll have to stay here longer.”

When she was finally released one monthter, she was appallingly skinny and taken to the hospital for rescue.

Luckily, the treatment was in time. Otherwise, she’d have be a retard due to the fever.

This time, no one could do that to her again!

rieka didn’t expect Kieran to defend her.

But the sight of him taking rissa’s side without hesitation still hurt.

With a frown, Kieran stared at rieka. His eyes betrayed no emotion.

Just when rieka was almost certain he would refuse to check the camera footage, he said, squinting, “Let’s check the camera footage.”

Extremely nervous, rissa almost shrieked, “No!”

rieka sneered, “Why not? What are you nervous about?”

rissa’s face went pale. Biting her lower lip, she denied, “I’m not.”

Kieran nced at rissa, and rissa shut iup /i

at once.

Without another word, Kieran gestured to the principal with his eyes. Then, he sat on the couch, crossed his legs, and put his folded hands. on his knees.

Roschelle stood beside Kieran. When she lowered her head, her smooth and fair neck showed. She looked at him with her gentle, affectionate eyes.

Kieran turned his head slightly and said in a deep, husky voice, “Sit.”

With a faint smile, Roschelle sat next to Kieran, pressing her arm against his intimately.

The principal had his subordinate find the video and y it to everyone. It showed clearly how rissa and her sidekicks made trouble for ricka at her desk.

The truth was finally out. It was a dead silence in and out of the principal’s office. rissa was extremely embarrassed. Biting her lower lip, she red at ricka.

ricka turned to Kieran. “Well, still think I should apologize?”

Kieran didn’t answer. The whole thing was clear now. He said to rissa, “rissa, apologize.”

rissa refused through gritted teeth, “No!”

Almost simultaneously, rieka dered, “Don’t bother.

“I don’t want her apology.”

Kieran looked at her, confused.

rieka left without sparing anyone so much as a look.

Tamika stood there, flustered. She smiled fawningly at the sullen Kieran and ran after rieka.

rieka pressed through the crowd calmly. Tamika caught up to her and grabbed her wrist.

“rieka, rissa is a member of the Argent family. Don’t be rude.”

Looking at her coolly, rieka remembered Kieran’s words.
