John punches the wall with his fists in frustration and looks very painful. How can he do such a thing? However, he couldn't control himself just now. He feels sorry for Rory.
He has to apologize to Rory right now. As he is about to turn around, he finds that the director is standing right in front of him.
"Why are you here?" John is not going to be nice to the director.
"Is that fair to my daughter?"
Her challenge reduces John to silence. If the director is so sharp-tongued as usual, John will scold her mercilessly. But today, he has nothing to say. Because he feels guilty about Rory now.
"Do you think you treat her well?" John asks.
What the director said is the same as the pot calling the kettle black. Who is she to criticize him?
"I know you are angry with me now. But I wonder why you treated my daughter like this just now."
John glares at her with sharp eyes, just like a devil. Although the director is frightened, for her daughter's happiness, she forces herself to hold on. She cannot allow herself to shrink back. After all, she has to fight for her daughter.
"Rory just saw you guys hugging each other. She has been crying. However, when I asked her what happened, she refused to say anything. I know that she did all this for you. She is too kind to hurt anyone. That woman made used of this to try to separate you and her." The director fans the flames and adds highly colored details.
"What does it have to do with Miya?"
The director does not expect that John is still defending Miya now that things have come to this point.
"Don't you treat me like this because of her? How could you have been like this before? Think carefully, how much have you changed since Miya appeared? You've done all the things you would never do before. You used to have a good temper. But now, you're like a tyrant."
The director's words are indeed the truth. Because she wants to have it on his conscience, so that he will willingly stay with Rory from now on.
"You are telling me what to do? I'm like that because maybe that's who I am. That's my true personality." John can no longer restrain himself and shouts at the director.
John does not expect that after saying those words, he will be filled with joy. It is as if he is being himself. He never has to be submissive. And he will never allow anyone to tell him what to do! No one!
The director is frightened by John. She feels that what John said is reasonable. After all, she does not know what kind of person he was before. Could it be that he has recalled the past?
She intends to make John feel guilty. Then, John will be willing to stay by her daughter's side. She doesn't expect that she angers him now. Since it doesn't work, she can only give up for the time being.
"Sorry. My tone was a little harsh just now."
John doesn't take it to heart. He just glares at the director with lordly eyes. The director immediately feels that she has said something wrong just now. If she had known that it would be like this, she wouldn't have come to the rooftop.
