The two of them had seen the brutal methods the Evans family used to handle the Janssen family.

Last night, their families had repeatedly warned them to steer clear of Elysia at school. They were told to avoid any encounters with her, so they wouldn’t remind her of the past and spark her desire for revenge.

Even though their families had deeper roots than the Janssen family, they still felt small next to the Evans family. A single push from them could send them crashing down.

The lesson from the Janssen family had shaken them enough. They didn’t want to end up like Bianca or Emma–whose lives were destroyed and who ended up in prison.

As they were walking, they noticed a familiar figure coming toward them. They immediately tensed up and lowered their heads, trying to avoid eye contact. Just as they were about to turn and run, a cold voice stopped them in their tracks. “Stop”

They froze, a wave of fear rushing over them. Trouble was coming, just as they feared. They kept their heads down, not daring to look up, their bodies trembling with fear.

Elysia took a step forward, her presence commanding and sharp. Her voice was as cold as ever as she said, “Am I some kind of monster?”

The two girls quickly lifted their heads, terrified of saying the wrong thing and making her angry.

Mia felt all her courage slip away when her eyes met Elysia’s. Her voice wavered. “N–no, it’s not that.”

“Not that?” Elysia raised an eyebrow, her gaze sharp. “Then why do you run away every time you see me?”

Guilt twisted their insides. They thought, ‘We know exactly what happened before. If we cross you again and make you angry, we’ll end up just like the Janssen family. We’re not ready for that kind of end!‘

Seeing their anxious faces, Elysia’s frown deepened. “What’s with the silent treatment? Come on. Speak up. Let me hear it.”

At those words, Natalie took a deep breath and finally spoke. “Ms. Rosewood, no, Ms. Evans, about what happened before… we were stupid. We got misled by Emma, and we did a lot of things we shouldn’t have. We’re here to apologize. We’re really sorry.”

Mia quickly added, “Ms. Evans, we’re sorry. Please, forgive us.”
