Upon hearing these words, Dean Bruce's expression immediately turned peculiar.
The Lina Jones he had come to know—the one who had always seemed like the perfect, well-mannered young lady—was now saying things like this?
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw Lina Jones sitting on the grass next to a small pool, facing Carol Lane. Lina was visibly furious, venting her frustration aloud. "How could someone be so disgusting?"
"Just seeing him makes me want to scream, or even hit him! He turned me down back then, and now he wants to marry me? Ugh, as if! I'm not the kind of woman who'll just throw herself at someone!"
"…"
Listening to her rant, Dean Bruce didn't approach. Carol Lane remained silent as well, waiting until Lina had finished venting. After a moment, Carol finally spoke softly, "His behavior might be inappropriate, but, honestly, he's a good match for you."
