If it weren't for Sean remembering that his older sister Nora was also at the bar, he might have lost an arm tonight as he anxiously rushed to the door of the private room. As for Mikaela's claim that the Lawrence family owed her a life, Sean was utterly puzzled and bewildered.
Taking a deep breath, he spoke, pulling at the wound on his mouth, causing a sharp pain that made him grit his teeth.
"Mikaela, what are you saying? What about owing a life?"
Mikaela's gaze turned to Nora, her red lips parting as she replied with clarity, "You should ask your good sister!"
"Nora, are you too guilty to admit it? What did you do four years ago, did you forget it so soon?"
This last sentence from Mikaela resonated strongly throughout the private room.
Four years ago? Nora stood still in a daze, her pupils instinctively shrinking slightly. She then carefully examined the girl with long hair before her and faintly found a resemblance in her features.
Matilda Buck! Right, she almost forgot about this. She never expected that Matilda would choose to jump off the building in the end. She only asked Danielle to teach that girl a lesson. It was her own decision to jump off, what did it have to do with her?
After the incident, public opinion criticized Cheyenne, everyone thought she bullied Matilda, leading to Matilda's suicide. Akloit High School was a prestigious school for the wealthy, so when this incident happened, it even made the newspaper, drawing the attention of society and the school authorities.
The police also conducted an investigation but found no trace of evidence at the scene. Although public opinion indirectly implicated Cheyenne, she provided an alibi and proved her innocence.
With Cheyenne dropping out of school and getting married, public opinion gradually subsided, and the matter eventually faded away. Nora thought this matter would be buried forever, without any incidents happening for four years, and now suddenly being brought up by Mikaela, fear emerged from her heart. She was sweating profusely.
"What's your relationship with her?" With a slightly hoarse voice, Sean couldn't help but ask in his mind, "her?"
Which "her"? What was his sister talking about?
Before Nora asked this question, she already had a rough idea in her heart. Looking somewhat similar and having the same last name "Buck," if she guessed correctly, they should be sisters. It wasn't hard to understand why Mikaela knew about this matter and why she suddenly mentioned it today, she was here for revenge!
In a daze, Nora thought of another, even more brutal truth. Her sultry red lips tightened into a straight line, a visible anger apparent at the corner of her lips.
"Are you deliberately getting close to Sean? You want to retaliate against our Lawrence family, so you've gone to great lengths to become his girlfriend!"
Boom! Nora's words made Sean's head ache even more, the wound on his mouth still burning, but all of this paled in comparison to the agony he felt from Mikaela's response.
Her heart felt as if it had been torn apart by an invisible force, blood flowing freely.
"Yes, I deliberately got close to Sean and made him fall in love with me. If it weren't for avenging my sister, would I even look at a worthless guy like him?"
As it turned out, in Mikaela's eyes, he was just a good-for-nothing.
Sean's jaw trembled with anger, and fiery flames lit up his eyes as he glared at her, gritting his teeth as he asked again, "In your eyes, am I just a good-for-nothing?"
"All these years, I've been so good to you, and all you can think of is plotting against me and my family? Mikaela, I really misjudged you."
Knowing that she had no money, he always saved his allowance to help pay her tuition fees.
