Paul was filled with righteous indignation. “Yunice, dont be afraid of him. Come to my side, and I’ll see he dares to lay a finger on you!”

Yunice was speechless. She had always known Paul to be a fool, but she had not realized he could be this naive. No wonder Elsie had him wrapped around her finger.

She shot him a cold glance, and for a brief moment, the air grew heavy with awkwardness.

Paul flushed red, his gaze fixed on her. It was only now that he realized it wasn’t Wyatt’s doing. It was simply because Yunice did not want to get involved with him.

Seeing the hurt and disappointment on Paul’s face. Yunice found it rather amusing.

Had they lived in a past life as goldfish, with memories lasting only seven seconds?

Every time she showed the slightest dissatisfaction, they thought she was being unreasonable and ungrateful. As if they were the ones who were wronged.

if

Yunice decided to remind him. “Paul, when you deliberately left the cigarette in my room, you must have known what consequences that would bring, right?

Paul froze. That day, he had acted in a fit of anger, trying to trip Yunice up.

If Owen found his cigarette, he would definitely think that Yunice was misbehaving and trying to seduce Paul. That way, Owen would punish her.

But after throwing it, he regretted it

He did not even know why he had done it. He was supposed to marry Elsie, so why did his mind keep getting disturbed by Yunice? Like any man, his pride just could not stand Yunice’s elevation of Wyatt.

After nothing had happened. Paul assumed the matter was over.

But then Yunice continued, “I’ve already returned that cigarette to Elsie

Paul’s face heated up, as though he had been caught in a scandal. He could not bring himself to look at Elsie.

Elsie, on the other hand, suddenly seemed to realize something. “So, the cigarette I found in my clothes that day was really left by you!”

Yunice smiled mockingly.

Paul was completely confused.

What are they talking about?

Elsie’s eyes filled with tears. her voice filled with grievance. “Paul, it was her who caused this. She put your cigarette in my clothes, and that’s why Owen scolded ..

After a moment. Paul finally had a moment of clarity. He was shocked as he looked at Yunice, disbelief in his eyes. So, it was you who set this up, to force Owen to push me into marriage?”

Elsie looked anxiously at Paul, who suddenly averted his gaze. Yunice, stop trying to sow discord!”

Seeing the disdain on Yunice’s face, Paul’s grip on the armrests of the wheelchair tightened to the point of cracking.

But he was not willing to let it end there. He turned to defend Elsie. I won’t hold this against you, but you need to return what you took from Elsie!

Though Elsie was not sure if Yunice had it, she knew Yunice could definitely make it. After all, there were no cameras in this hallway Who would know if Yunice had been wrongfully accused? If she could not hand over the medicine, she would just have to make it again. And once she did, it would be the perfect remedy for Paul’s injury.

By then, Paul would only remember that the medicine had been begged for by Elsie, while Yunice would be the one causing him pain

Paul glared at Yunice, his voice icy, “Give it back to her

Yunice sneered at Elsie. “You’re saying that you made the medicine for leg injuries?”

Elsie nodded. “It’s a family recipe passed down in the Saunders family. It’s not your exclusive property. You’re not the only one allowed to make it.
