Mary immediately frowned and looked at her.

Keira pursed her lips, trying to make her gaze seem

softer.

Mary examined her face back and forth, then suddenly stood up, walked over to her, and touched her

forehead.

Keira was dumbfounded.

For them, you actually abandoned me… Forget it, let’s not talk about it. It makes me feel so sad!”

She was genuinely aggrieved!

Mary pouted.

Keira wasn’t good at comforting others, so she remained silent. Just then, the sound of the door opening was heard, and Howard’s mother walked in.

clutched her chest in anger and pointed at Keira, saying furiously, “Keera, you’re just going to stand there watching your friend insult me? Let me tell you, her being rude to me is the same as being disrespectful to you! She obviously doesn’t take you seriously, otherwise, wouldn’t
