The voices downstairs fell silent instantly, and then Edward walked over to the stairs and looked up at me.

He had already hung up his phone and said, “Come on down.”

I went downstairs, my heart pounding, and asked him anxiously, “Who were you talking to?”

“Isabelle’s grandfather,” Edward replied. “He wants to keep things quiet.”

My face went white. If anyone could just mess up and get forgiven like it’s nothing, this world would be total chaos.

“Relax. There’s no way I’m letting this go,” Edward said, his voice steady and full of resolve, like he could see right through my worries.

“Edward, if I end up pissing off the Lynn family, will it come back to bite you?” I asked. Sure, I wanted payback, but if the price was more than I could handle, where was I supposed to find the guts to go through with it?

Isabelle wasn’t just coming after me–she was going for the people I care about most.

“Victoria, you’re just a poor thing who got dragged into this mess. I don’t let people walk all over me, you get that? This isn’t just Isabelle targeting you–she’s using you to slap me in the face,” Edward said, reaching out to ruffle my hair. “If we don’t settle this, it’ll be a stain on the Jennings family’s reputation.”

My chest tightened, and I stared at Edward, eyes flickering with surprise. So this is how he saw what happened to me he really understood my humiliation.

“Thanks…” I murmured, even though I’d said it so many times before. But right now, having someone in my corner like this made me feel truly safe.
