If she hurts me?
She already harmed me last night on purpose! Technically, she harmed me because of you, Levant Musgrave!
Where is your conscience? You should feel guilty because your wishful thinking had just landed someone in trouble.
“Rest well. I’ll visit you later.”
He had to deal with Daphne, who should be telling on him now.
After he left with his bodyguards, Nicole lay on her bed. She stared at the ceiling blankly. Every now and then, she’d let out a giggle.
Meanwhile, Portia’s heart was aching when she saw how upset her niece was.
“Daphne, calm down and tell me what happened.”
Daphne sniffled. “Aunt Portia, that idiot bullied me. She grabbed my hair and poked me with needles! Levant just let her bully me and even yelled at me. He threatened to make me her caregiver so she would beat me up!”
After that, she started wailing again, her tears trailing down her cheeks pitifully.
“What? How could that be?”
Portia slammed the table furiously and told someone to bring Levant to her.
Right then, he turned up and entered her room.
“Mom, no need for that. I’m here.”
“Levant, how could you do that to Daphne? She has done so much for you! Even if you’re made of stone, you should have been warmed up by now? How could you allow an outsider to bully her?”
He glanced at Daphne who was in a sorry sight. “Mom, she was the one who came to Ms. Lane’s room. As she was delirious, so she had no idea what she was doing. They were involved in a slight tussle. That doesn’t count as bullying.”
Daphne demanded angrily, “Look what she did to me! Isn’t that bullying? Levant, how could you defend her?”
He glared at her icily. “I love her, so I choose to side with her. Can’t I do that?”
