Michelle knew that Frederic must be here in an event like this.

Even though he came from a scholar family, the elders of that family were all across Centrolis’ education and legal bureaucracies. There were judges, prosecutors, professors, and chancellors.

All four major families were on good terms with this family.

Michelle bit her lips and vaguely heard a frantic voice amidst the mockery.

“Z, don’t be like this!”

The crowd quieted down and checked out the handsome man in a suit following his voice. He was good-looking and outstanding in physique and presence among everyone else.

Zephyr frowned and looked up at him.

“Hey, Frederic, what are you doing!?” Josiah warned softly, “Are you too free? Trying to save the damsel in distress now!?”

Frederic licked his dry lips and looked at Zephyr pleadingly.

Zephyr’s voice was deep and cold. “Frederic, what do you want to say?”

“Z, I just want to plead Michelle’s case for her.” Frederic’s voice was not loud, but his gaze was determined. “It was a mindless mistake on her part. Be the bigger person, and don’t punish her like this.”

“Frederic! Come here!” Josiah sweated. “Stop it, okay? You… You’re quite smart usually. Why are you dumber than me today?”
