Chapter 141

But now, before the man had even been dealt with, they were already threatening to punish her by making her take off her dress.

How was she supposed to survive in Capitolion after this?

Scales' lips twitched in disbelief.

"She's only got that one dress. If she takes it off, do you want her to stand here naked? What do you expect Magnus to do—just look the other way?"

A cold, mocking glint flashed in Nanette's eyes as she let out a derisive laugh.

"Magnus's reputation? Magnus, I've been meaning to ask-what exactly is going on between you and Elise?"

Magnus frowned.

There was nothing between him and Elise, but he certainly didn't want her forced to undress in front of everyone.

Nanette's tone dripped with ridicule. "Are you two a couple? If you can look Isadora in the eye and say you're together, I'll let Elise off the hook."

Isadora thought, Why does he need to look at me and say that?

Elise's only hope now was Magnus. She desperately wished he'd speak up for her.

She really didn't want to take off her dress, and in this room, only he could save her.

Her eyes grew wet, shimmering with unshed tears as she stared at Magnus, stricken with fear and shame.
