Given Nyla’s current situation, seeking justice was extremely difficult. It was unfair to her and the Jaystons, but what could be done about it? The world was full of injustices.

To receive fair treatment, one must strive to become stronger.

But all she wanted was justice…

After a while, she spoke. “Valarie, I understand. I’ll go apologize to my dad tomorrow.”

She didn’t think she had done anything wrong, but she didn’t want to cause her father any more worry, especially with his deteriorating health.

“That’s the right attitude. Cheers! Here’s to shedding the bad relationship and starting anew!” Valarie cheered.

They drank heavily, and by the end of the night, they ended up sleeping in the private room.

When Nyla woke up the next morning, it was already past 8:00 a.m. As soon as she checked her phone, she saw a dozen missed calls from Wren. Alarmed, she quickly called back.
