Chapter 1564

• Izara’s face had lost all color, but Liza didn’t seem bothered in the slightest. She spoke calmly, almost casually, “Let me get this straight Neuella plotted against me during the perfume competition, dragged my name through the mud, and then tried to set me up again at the Stone Family banquet. She’s crossed the line more than once. Yet somehow, in your eyes and your family's she’s always the poor, innocent victim. Meanwhile, I’m the one being blamed. You all think I’m heartless, too stubborn, and unwilling to forgive just because I won’t accept her?”
• She glanced at him, her tone still composed but with a sharp edge. “But tell me, from my point of view, how am I supposed to forgive her? How do you expect me to treat someone who has repeatedly tried to harm me as if we’re on good terms? Isn’t that a bit much to ask?”
• She leaned back slightly, looking directly at him. “If you think I’m being too harsh, why not go ask someone else? See what they think. Is it really me who’s being cold, or are you being unreasonable? But I doubt you’d dare bring this matter to others, right? You have your pride. You wouldn’t want to air your dirty laundry in public. Because deep down, you know what Neuella did was wrong. And yet, you still choose to defend her.”
