Chapter 141: A Very Rich Woman

Violet sat in her seat frozen in disbelief and for a moment, she almost thought Roman was deadly serious until she saw the sparkle of mischief in his eyes. Of course. This was Roman’s idea of entertainment, tormenting her for his own amusement!

"You are mad, do you know that?" Violet spat with irritation.

Roman leaned back with exaggerated flair, flipping his damp hair in a dramatic motion, scattering droplets of water onto her.

"Madly handsome, you mean," he quipped, his grin as infuriating as ever. "Thanks for the compliment, my lady, but flattery won’t excuse you from taking responsibility

"That wasn’t a compliment, you moron!" Violet shot back, her voice rising with exasperation. "And what do you even mean by ’taking responsibility’? You weren’t even a virgin!"

To her utter shock, Roman gasped, placing a hand over his chest as if she’d just stabbed him in the heart. "So, you’re saying you’d only take responsibility for virgins? Even though you were the one who lusted after me? That’s so partial, Lady Purple. My inner child is devastated."

"Hurt your inner child, my ass!" Violet hissed through gritted teeth. "You’re clearly just enjoying making my life miserable."

"Oh, absolutely," Roman said, his voice mock-serious. "Especially since a certain purple-haired enchantress used me and doesn’t even feel guilty about it."

Whatever biting retort Violet had ready immediately died on her lips. His words struck a nerve, reminding her of that mortifying moment in the classroom. Whether she liked it or not, Roman wasn’t entirely wrong. She had used him, even if it were unintentionally.

Lowering her head, Violet muttered, "I’m sorry." She looked up at him with sincere golden eyes, silently hoping her apology was enough to end this ridiculous conversation.

Roman, however, had other plans.
