Initially, Roza, who was standing behind Axel, felt really upset. However, upon hearing his words, a smile nearly formed on her lips, and she almost burst into laughter.
Axel had a way with words. In the courtroom, he would ruthlessly expose the defendants’ vulnerabilities, and in his daily life, he would bluntly call out people’s sensitive spots.
“You... What nonsense are you spouting! I haven’t had any plastic surgery!” Regina quickly covered her face, which was tight and puffed up like an inflated doll, feeling embarrassed, angry, and guilty all at once.
Axel shook his head and said, “It’s not your fault that you’re getting older, but using it to intimidate others isn’t right.”
Regina was absolutely fuming, feeling like she might get a stroke.
“You, who are you to Roza?!” Wendy supported her mother and couldn’t help but question.
“Who am I to her?” Axel clicked his tongue against his cheek and then turned to look seriously at Roza. “Ms. Roza, she’s asking me who I am to you.”
Roza stared at him, her heart pounding wildly.
“If you don’t answer, then I’ll assume the role of your boyfriend,” Axel said, his eyes twinkling with a deeply intoxicating tenderness.
“What?!” Both Regina and Wendy were so shocked, their jaws almost dropped. ‘A man so refined, handsome, and distinguished is actually dating this wretched girl?!’
Roza’s delicate face immediately turned red. She shyly averted her gaze, not daring to look at him again.
Axel’s eyes darkened slightly. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, took her slightly cool hand, and then interlaced their fingers tightly.
"Earlier, I watched as you bullied my darling Roza. I didn’t intervene because I wanted to see how despicable and shameless you could be and to what extent human nature could be corrupted. Well, you didn’t disappoint me. It was a real spectacle, like a bunch of demons dancing wildly. It was truly eye-opening.” Axel’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.
