When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

At that time, I had no intention to chat with her, so I told her calmly, “I don’t think it’s a coincidence.”

Glancing around, I did not see Danny, so I turned around to leave. But Tessa stopped me and said, “Oh, why? You seem to be looking for someone.”

“Get out of my way!” I had no time or patience for people like her.

However, she continued to use her chubby body to block my way and taunted, “Why are you so aggressive? Are we not good friends? Don’t you remember all the dangerous situations that we had been through in Venria? Do you treat Nora and the others like this, too?”

Suddenly, she burst into laughter. “I’m disgusting? Scarlett, did you forget that you were the one who caused me to be sexually assaulted in Venria? Did you seriously think that I could act like nothing had happened after we left there? Do you know the feeling of being gang-raped in front of everyone else? No, you don’t. You were the one who saw me being violated by those men. You knew that they raped me because of you, and yet, you did not do anything to help me.

From the moment I left Venria, I vowed to make all of you suffer as much as I did!”
