Elsie touched the jadeite bracelet around her wrist. There was nothing she could do.

At Virtue Hall, Yunice was sitting behind the folding screen, working through practice questions, when her phone rang. It was a call from Margaret.

Ms. Saunders, I caught these people. Want to guess who sent them?”

Yunice paused for a second, then remembered that Margaret had mentioned earlier that someone had tried to ambush her at the hospital.

“I don’t know, Yunice said.

It felt like everyone around me, except Wyatt, was trying to corner me. I was practically a rat running across the street.

“It was Quinton Ford.”

Quinton was still after me!

Margaret said, “Quinton’s got some tricks up his sleeve. Should I tell Mr. Cooper about this?”

“No need,” Yunice replied. “Mr. Cooper has already warned him once. He probably wouldn’t dare hurt me now. No need to bother him about it.”

You call him Mr. Cooper too?” Margaret teased. “You two are getting married soon. Shouldn’t you change how you call him?”

“It’s not a real marriage, Yunice said.

“Still, you have to play the part, Margaret said, then laughed. “Try saying it like this. Wyatt darling-

Yunice raised a brow. “Shameless.”

“Hahaha Margaret dropped the joke and said seriously, “Call him by his name. He’d like it.”

Yunice rubbed her temple. “We’ll see.”

After hanging up, Yunice pulled out the old phone Elsie had once given her

Sure enough, as soon as she turned it on, it was flooded with missed calls and messages.

There were dozens from Quinton, a few from Owen, and one from Lily.

Yunice’s finger hovered over Lily’s name. After hesitating for two seconds, she tapped it with a blank expression.

The message was sent two days ago. It was short.

She apologized to Yunice, claimed she hadn’t meant to hurt her hand that day, and asked if it still hurt.

She also said she wanted Yunice to come home and hoped she could make it up to her.

Yunice silently deleted the message

It was always the same. After hurting me without a second thought, they’d try to offer same meaningless apology or compensation. I was sick of it

A detest was attached. The total value was close to nine figures.

Elsie had accounts. One to the gameion for family and friends.
