Leyla would settle the score one day. But for now, she let her tears flow freely, clutching at Lila's dress.

Lila frowned at the gesture and stepped back. "Stand up. I don't need your apology on your knees!"

Leyla ignored her, remaining kneeling as she choked out. "I'm sorry, Ms. Hart. It's my fault. I don't have the money. My father is still in the hospital, and all my money is spent on his medical bills. I'm begging you, please forgive me..."

Leonard, Jamie, and Teddy all frowned.
