Chapter 2617
“Roxy, get up.” A voice sounded suddenly.
Leah’s expression changed slightly. She turned around instantly and saw Zephir approaching them. Just as she was about to explain herself, Zephir passed by her, walked up to Roxy, and helped her up.
Roxy shrank into his arms tremblingly. “Zephir, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have asked Ms. Younge out to explain myself. I only did so because I don’t want Ms. Younge to misunderstand.”
Zephir took off his coat and wrapped it around her.
Leah was so angry that she clenched her hands into fists and gnashed her teeth. “Zephir, what do you mean by that? Are you telling me that you’ve chosen to believe in her words? I didn’t do anything to her at all!”
“Leah Younge!” Zephir yelled her name out loud and stared at her expressionlessly. “Who else can do such a thing apart from you?”
Leah froze in place, and her heart gradually sank into pure darkness.
Her eyes were slightly bloodshot, and her voice sounded hoarse. “So, you’ve chosen to believe in her…”
‘We’ve known each other for so many years, but in the end, I can’t even compare myself to Roxy, someone he’s only known for a few months?’
Zephir frowned, and his expression remained unchanged. “Why not? Didn’t you use the exact same method against someone else when we were in high school?”
He was referring to what had happened to Lisa back then.
‘I did bully Lisa when I was younger, but I never bullied anyone for no reason. I just couldn’t let Lisa get away with hypocrisy. But he’s actually using these things as his bullets to teach me a lesson now?’
Zephir took a deep breath. “Leah, if you still consider me as a friend, you’ll apologize to Roxy.”
After a while, Leah sneered. “What if I don’t want to do so?”
He did not utter a single word.
Leah pointed at Roxy. “You’re actually forcing me to apologize to a stand-in? Why should I apologize? I’ve not done anything. It’s obvious that she’s the one who’s directing and putting on the show all by herself-”
“Have you said enough?” Zephir was on the brink of losing his head. “You keep referring to her as a double. Hah, are you jealous of Roxy?”
Leah’s cheeks were pale, and her heart was oozing blood from the pain.
