"Well, at least you're aware of your situation," Clara sneered coldly. "I'll lend you some money—enough to leave this place. Go back to wherever you came from."
Lily trembled. "N-No! I can't go back there... I-I've gotten used to this life. I can't survive in a village again." Desperately, she turned to Briena. "I was only helping with the plan to get revenge on Natalie. If it weren't for that, none of this would have happened. Please, Briena—you have to help me rebuild my life."
Briena gazed at her with a mask of helpless innocence, carefully concealing her true feelings. She only felt disgust towards Lily. Before she could respond, Clara interjected.
"You are not allowed to be around Briena anymore," Clara said flatly. "I'll give you a million. Use it to start over somewhere far away. If you don't, I'll have no choice but to be cruel."
