Chapter 176

Valerian's face shifted a few shades.

Lisette looked at Valerian with wide, innocent eyes. She bit her lip, turning to face everyone in the room. Suddenly, she spoke up, "I'm sorry. It is all my fault! I got a little carried away with my vanity, so I pretended to know K. I owe everyone an apology!"

"And about the whole thing with saving Valerian, yeah, that was my mistake, too! When Callie saved Valerian back then, she left right after. I stayed with him because I was worried!"

"Later, when people kept saying I was the one who saved him, I got scared. But I did tell Callie I wanted to clear things up, and she said it was okay not to!"

Lisette's eyes were rimmed with red, her voice trembling as she sniffled, "I didn't know Callie was holding a grudge about this!"

"Callie, I'm sorry. It's my fault! I should have explained everything a long time ago!"
