Lissy Lock wanted to explain again, but she felt helpless.
Her response was too weak, too pale.
John Fame's eyes were filled only with coldness, and... disgust.
Lissy Lock's body was trembling. Everything happened too quickly, too unexpectedly, and she could not defend herself against this false accusation.
She bit her lower lip hard, not uttering a word.
John Fame walked towards her, step by step, with an unusually steady pace.
As Lissy Lock followed his move with her eyes, her heart sank bit by bit.
When he finally stood in front of her, he spoke, "Lissy Lock, have I been too indulgent with you recently?"
She kept repeating the same sentence, sounding so pale and powerless, "John, I didn't push her."
John coldly replied, "I saw it with my own eyes."
"It's not what you saw, it's absolutely not," she insisted.
"Do you think it's easy to fool me?"
Lissy Lock shook her head: "John, I know who you are, but don't you know what kind of person I am?"
