Chloe defended Judy, saying, "No, no, Jay, you've misunderstood Judy. Judy is actually really innocent and harmless..."

Jay retorted furiously, "Innocent and harmless? If she's really innocent and harmless, she wouldn't have sent Angeline out to be a hostage. She's selfish and narrow-minded, and you admire her simply because birds of a feather flock together."

Chloe's face turned pale. She did not know that she was such an eyesore to Jay.

Chloe broke down and cried. "You're always standing on her side. Has she not made a mistake before? She, a junior, has hit me twice. Am I not without dignity?"
