"I pushed your lover into the water. Are you going to teach me a lesson for her?"

Her voice was laced with sarcasm.

Brian felt uneasy at the word "lover".

When did he ever thought of Eleanor as his Lover?

Before he could speak, Barlow stepped forward and put his arm around Rosalynn.

“If someone dares to hurt Rosalynn, he'll be my enemy!" he declared.

There was a brief moment of silence.

Everyone was curious to see what would happen next.

Seeing Barlow's hand on Rosalynn's shoulder, Brian gritted his teeth.

He realized that he hadn't hit Barlow hard enough the night before. He should've struck him as much as he could. That would've taught this bastard a lesson!

"Get your hand off me," Rosalynn demanded, shaking off Barlow's arm.

Barlow felt wronged.

“I'm trying to back you up, Rosalynn. Why are you humiliating me like this?" he complained.

“I don't give a fuck," Rosalynn replied coldly.

Brian was pleased to see their interaction.

At that moment, Valeria stepped forward.

"Mr. Hughes, my name is Valeria Moran. The incident earlier was not Rosalynn's fault. In fact, one of the staff members put snakes in the water, claiming that he disliked me. However, I am perplexed that someone would do something so awful to me for no apparent reason.

Rosalynn was merely helping me vent my anger. If you really want to get revenge for Eleanor, you're welcome to punish me instead of Rosalynn.”

She was clearly implying that Eleanor was the one who commanded the staff member to put snakes into the water.

Brian shot Eleanor an intense gaze.

Eleanor put on a facade of being wronged, attempting to shift the blame away from herself.

"The staff member put the snakes in the water without my instruction. I had nothing to do with it."
