Chapter 1104: "Sean, I just wanted you to be my companion to the ball. I had no idea your girlfriend was coming to your place today. Please, Sean, can you helpout here? You're all I've got. Please don't abandon me." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, spilling over and streaming down her cheeks, her voice breaking. "She would understand; she's kind and beautiful. Sean, won't you help me?" With each blink, more tears fell, cascading down her face in a steady stream.

"Mr. Scott, things have been really tough for Miss Harrison at school...” He hoped to evoke sunderstanding, ssmall measure of mercy. But Sean's response was as cold as the winter wind. "She knew what she was getting into with her actions and words, didn't she? Marlene, you're a smart girl. Please, don't continue making a scene." Marlene's sobs only grew, her trembling voice soft and innocent. "Sean, all I know is that without you, I'll just get bullied again." But Sean didn't even spare her a second glance.

What had started as a small act of kindness had turned into a burden, one that he no longer wished to carry. "And remember to move out of my apartment as soon as you can, Marlene. Frank, show her the door." Without a backward glance, Sean strode forward, intent on leaving this entire situation behind him. But Marlene, in a frantic burst of desperation, spun around and lunged at him. Sensing her sudden movement, he instinctively stepped forward, but it wasn't enough to stop her.
Unexpectedly, she clung to his legs, her grip like a vice as she burst into uncontrollable sobs. “Sean, please don't give up on me. I swear, I'll be good; I won't cause any more problems for you and your girlfriend. Just helpthis one last time." Marlene's heart pounded with fear. She had already told everyone she'd be attending the ball with Sean. "Please, just dothis one last favor."

Sean bent down, his eyes cold as he began to pry her hands off his legs, one finger at a time.
"I've warned you not to test my patience. Leave now." His supposed sweet evening on a date with Norah, one he had looked forward to, had been utterly ruined by Marlene's intrusion. His patience, already worn thin, was now completely depleted, and he was annoyed with everyone.

Finally, as Sean freed the last of her fingers from his leg, she collapsed to the floor, unsupported, her miserable sobs echoing through the room as she crumpled at his feet.
