Chapter 162 Let Bygones Be Bygones

Alice got the hint right away and grabbed Bryan's hand, ready to leave. "Bryan, that's enough. We're outta here!"

But Bryan was still fuming. He turned on Michael, snapping, "Misunderstandings? I don't think so. Maybe knowing you was a mistake from the start."

It wasn't until Alice practically dragged him away that things started to chill out. The crowd slowly began to disperse.

Emily let out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness things didn't get too crazy, and Penelope's jewelry exhibition was still intact.

But Bryan's parting words probably stung Michael.

Michael gave a bitter smile and looked down, hiding his expression.

"You okay?" Emily asked, feeling a pang of sympathy.

Michael slowly lifted his eyes, filled with a mix of emotions. "Shouldn't I be asking you that?"
