He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 324

In the beginning, Mavis used to be filled with righteous indignation and racked her brain to help others. But this society devoured people alive. Sometimes, you never knew if the person you were helping was a victim or a predator. And sometimes, a momentary lapse of sympathy could bring absolute ruin upon yourself and others.

She had grown accustomed to standing by and watching. It was cowardly.

But she had no other choice.

Juniper kept her head down, racking her brain for a way to deal with Lucas. As she thought, Nelson came to mind.

Mavis spoke up to remind her, "I don't know why you're trying to get revenge on him, but I have to give you a serious warning. If he ever did something awful to you in the past, he definitely has a video of it on your phone. You have to be careful. There's no telling when that video might end up in the public eye. Women are usually so humiliated by that kind of exposure that they have no way to defend themselves."

Using sex to humiliate a woman was an absolute kill shot.

Mavis had to have witnessed countless helpless tragedies to be able to speak of such things with such chilling detachment.

Juniper closed her eyes, the fury building in her chest threatening to boil over.

She recalled the despair of that day, and the memory made her head throb as Lucas's filthy insults echoed in her mind.

Yet, the memory was frustratingly blurred. She couldn't remember exactly what had happened, nor could she recall who had saved her.

Perhaps her brain had automatically blocked out the trauma.

She furrowed her brow and leaned back.

It had been a long time since Mavis had opened up to anyone like this. The last person she confided in was Zara, which was exactly why the two had become friends.

But she knew she and Juniper wouldn't become friends. Mavis had lost the desire to form pure, unburdened friendships.

Having said her piece, she opened the door to leave, only to see Juniper rubbing her temples. "Nelson is coming here tonight. You know Nelson, right?"

Mavis frowned. "Who in this circle doesn't?"

Juniper's lips curved upward slightly. "I'm going to leave with Lucas later. The moment I walk out, you go and tell Nelson."
