Chapter 1523

• Izara spoke gently, trying to explain, “Nuella only denied your evidence because Kazee influenced her. She’s always seen you as her real sister. She didn’t want you to make a mistake, so she tried to stop you before things got worse. She genuinely thought she was helping you. But now that she understands the truth, she feels terrible about what happened. She’s even been criticized harshly by others for it…”
• His voice turned almost pleading. “Liza, she’s already apologized in front of everyone. She’s facing consequences, too. No matter what, Nuella is still your younger sister. Please… don’t make her name public on the internet, alright?”
• He had thought it over carefully. If Nuella’s and Kazee’s names were exposed online, it would be hard to control how people reacted—especially since everyone knew that Kazee and Nuella were close. If one name came out, the other would follow, and suspicions would grow. His solution was simple: issue a general statement that cleared Liza’s name but didn’t identify those responsible. That way, the damage to Nuella’s reputation could be avoided.
