"Get up." At this moment, Aurora Dupont suddenly spoke up, "Kai Piers, stand up. Don't let her threats intimidate you."
Kai Pians refused and shook his head, "I can't. Aurora, I can't bear to see you hurt."
"This face... doesn't matter that much. Even if it gets cut several times more, you would still love me, wouldn't you?"
"It's not just about your face. Aurora, I failed to protect you, I... am powerless."
Hearing his words, Aurora Dupont's eyes were suddenly brimming with tears.
"Kai Piers, no, it's not your fault..."
Lissy Lock watched the scene unfold, her heart heavy with sympathy.
Whether or not they could rescue Aurora was a question that none of them had an answer to.
Kai gazed steadily at Aurora. With a firmness in his eyes, he slowly raised his head to look at Riley Dupont.
"I advise you to think it through. Riley Dupont, are you prepared to have Harper Wood die because of you?"
"You... you are actually threatening me?"
