They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 205: That Look In His Eyes Chapter 205: That Look In His Eyes Panic clawed at her chest.

She had to fix this.

Now.

“I—I am not a maid!” she shouted, her voice rising shrilly.

“I am not a maid!

“Then conduct yourself like one,” one of Carl’s guards spat, his voice dripping with disgust.

The humiliation doubled, suffocating her.

Her nails dug into her palms as her eyes darted around, looking for someone, anyone, to blame.

She couldn’t blame Carl.

That would be suicide.

She couldn’t blame the laughing crowd.

That would only make things worse.

So her eyes locked onto the one person standing silently beside Carl.

Nnenna.

Her rage boiled over.

Bora’s mind reeled.

This had to be a mistake.
