Harley gritted his teeth, glaring at her as if he wanted to press further, but before he could act, Karina was pulled back.
Wilfred fixed him with an icy stare. “This isn’t your place to lay a hand on anyone.”
“Wilfred!”
Ignoring him entirely, Wilfred turned to Karina and asked softly, “Does it hurt?”
Her wrist was red, but as she looked at his serious expression, any discomfort seemed to fade. She shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt. With you here, he wouldn’t dare go too far.
“Still, there’s no point wasting time on him. Let’s go.”
Wilfred nodded. Before leaving, he glanced coolly at Harley and left him with a parting shot.
“This bet? I won. Relay this to your mentor and tell him to keep the association’s hands out of Birkham and Atlantis. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to make sure his reputation is shattered, no matter his age.”
With that, they left the corridor.
Karina didn’t turn to see Harley’s expression, but as they walked away, she couldn’t help voicing her concern. “With what you just said, are you completely severing ties with them now? What about Professor Zeller?”
She worried about the fallout. Professor Zeller’s reputation was renowned, even to someone like her, who barely engaged in medical circles. She feared Wilfred might be in trouble.
He glanced at her, his cold demeanor softening into something more reassuring. “Don’t worry. There won’t be any trouble. We’ve been at odds for a while now.”
His calm confidence put Karina at ease.
