What he valued was her status, not her as a person.
How ironic.
She suddenly stood up and walked towards him, just as the butler of the Fame family returned after seeing the others off. He nodded slightly at her, not exactly respectful, but it was a clear indication of Lissy Lock's status.
"John Fame." She whispered, standing by his side, "What do you want to do next?"
He shifted, turning his head to look at her, "I..."
For the first time, John Fame didn't know how to answer her.
Lissy Lock gave a faint smile: "Actually, it's okay. It's good that you came, they haven't done anything to me yet..."
Her attitude made John Fame's eyebrows furrow deeply. It wasn't irritation, but an inexplicable frustration. Not at her, but more at himself.
Zack Shaw, the butler, and Aurora Dupont, felt some relief, but at the same time, they felt that Lissy Lock was treated unfairly.
But this was already the best way to handle it.
