The quiet place Winter mentioned was Homestyle Garden House. She had visited it a few times with Emilia and Jade and indeed found the environment pleasant and tranquil.
After getting in the car, Winter made a reservation. She then led Suzy to the place.
It was Suzy's first time there. She frowned slightly but followed Winter inside. Winter chose the innermost room, which others rarely passed by, ensuring their privacy.
Considering the severity of the recent incident, Winter was worried about its impact on Suzy, despite it being censored online. "Suzy, this place is usually free of those people. It's mostly frequented by refined, wealthy ladies… So about that day—"
"Enough!" Suzy interrupted. "I don't want to discuss it anymore. There's no need to keep bringing it up."
She then took a deep breath.
Being from a distinguished family, Suzy was adept at brewing tea, a skill her mother had insisted she perfected.
As she prepared the tea, Suzy forced herself to remain calm. "I know the incident was accidental and not directly your fault, but it's still difficult for me to move past it."
Winter said guiltily, "I understand. I'm sorry, Suzy. I never imagined things would turn out this way. It's all that bitch, Noelle's, fault. If she hadn't left the room, she would've been the one in trouble." Winter continued to shift all blame onto Noelle.
Suzy kept her head down, her brows furrowing together and eyes flashing with impatience. She remained silent, focusing on brewing the tea as Winter spoke.
