Lysander remained standing, unmoved.

Zachary blew a whistle, teeming with intrigue. “Aren’t you scared?”

“What’s there to fear? It’s broad daylight with people coming and going. Surveillance cameras are everywhere. What can you possibly do?”

However, Josiah has no shred of pity for her now. He made his stance clear last time. If she crossed his boundaries again, could she bear the consequences? However, on second thought, one could never predict Lysanne’s actions using conventional logic. Lysander rubbed his temples, feeling the wave of nausea
