Warren's POV:
Sylvia was so angry that she beat me until I was on my knees. "Warren! I thought you were a gentleman! How could you do this?!"
I covered my face helplessly, not daring to fight back or speak a word. After all, it was true. I had slept with Flora. I was guilty.
"Say something, you scumbag! Explain to me right now!" Sylvia was so angry that her face turned purple.
"I have nothing to say. I'm guilty. Hit me." I sat on the ground and smiled bitterly. "I will be responsible for Flora."
"You—!"
Sylvia couldn't control her anger. Just as she was about to strike me again, Flora stopped her. "It's not his fault! I was the one who forced him!"
Flora's words made everyone fall silent, save for a few crows nearby that flapped their wings and flew away, scared off by her loud voice.
Sylvia's fist froze in the air. She blinked blankly, as though she was still digesting Flora's words.
Blair cleared his throat awkwardly. "Indeed, Warren was the one who looked more miserable that day, wasn't it, Harry?"
Blair then kicked Harry behind the knee. "Yes," Harry said quickly, forcing a smile. "He's right." "Is that so?" Sylvia withdrew her fist and turned to look at Flora expectantly.
Sitting on the ground, I looked up at Flora's back. She had stepped forward to stand in between me and Sylvia's fist. It was the first time someone had stood in front of me like this to protect me.
Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat and I instinctively reached out to hold Flora's hand. However, she stepped aside and seemed to have realized the gravity of what she had just said. Her pretty face flushed a bright red. She stammered and changed her testimony. "Uh, to be exact, it wasn't that I forced him. I mean, I did it with voluntarily. I had sex with Warren, and he didn't force me. End of story."
"You say you did it voluntarily... But you've never interacted with Warren before. Since when did you fall for him?" Sylvia asked, squinting at her suspiciously.
