Just a few words, and I'll leave right after, I won't be a bother." "You're already bothering me." Dylan had seen entirely through Sophie's true nature, and his previous affection for her was now gone.
Sophie cursed under her breath, but kept her expression unchanged, maintaining the facade of sorrow and pain. "But Dylan, I'm only here to apologize." "I know the reason you've been so distant is because I've done wrong. However, I've realized my mistakes and have been reflecting on them at home. So, could you forgivejust this once? I swear, I'll never make those mistakes again." "You didn't just make a mistake." Dylan suddenly cut her off, his voice harsh and unyielding.

Sophie's eyes widened in shock, full of feigned innocence. "No, no, no, it's not like that. Dylan, please listen. It wasn't me-it was Zoie's people, the ones she left to protect me. Maybe they thought I was wronged, so they..." "What wrong have you suffered?" Dylan interrupted again, his patience wearing thin.
Sophie's every excuse only pushed him further.
"Since the moment you stepped into Duke's estate, from Gabriel to the rest of us- even Eliza, who hasn't been tolerant of you? Who hasn't let you have your way? Now that Eliza and I have left this house, what grievance do you still have?" "It used to be that I, Dylan, was blind and couldn't see clearly. But now, my eyes are open. I see everything. So, stop trying to deceive me, because if you keep treatinglike a fool, I won't hold back anymore." After Benedict, even Dylan had finally spoken out against her.
Sophie almost ground her teeth in frustration.
She didn't understand where she had gone wrong.
