Before Barlow could respond, Karina pouted and yelled, “Rosalynn, I'm not drunk. I just want him to be my boyfriend

“Alright, let's discuss this tomorrow." Rosalynn tried to soothe her, hoping to lead her away.

"I don't want to discuss it tomorrow. Barlow, let's go get a room right now!

In her drunken state, Karina tried to pull Barlow along.

Rosalynn swiftly grabbed her arm, preventing her from getting closer to Barlow.

Barlow trailed behind them at a leisurely pace, a smile tugging at his lips as he observed Karina's flushed face and slurred speech.

This woman always fled after flirting with him.

This wasn't the first time she had behaved like this.

“Karina.” Virgil arrived in a rush, with Annalise following close behind.

Rosalynn's expression turned frosty.

"Virgil."

Virgil returned her nod, his gaze Landing on the inebriated Karina. A flicker of guilt crossed his face.

“Karina, why did you drink so much? Let's go home."

Karina looked at Virgil, her eyes welling up with fresh tears.

She sidestepped, putting Rosalynn between them, and said in a hurt voice, "I'm not going back. You scolded me. I won't go back!"

Virgil's guilt deepened.

“I'm sorry. I spoke out of line in the heat of the moment. Will you please forgive me?"

Karina's lower lip quivered as she started to sob.

“But you said you would sever our ties."

“Why would I sever our ties? You will always be my sister," Virgil quickly reassured her.

Karina glanced between Virgil and Annalise, standing beside him, her chest rising and falling subtly with her breath.

“But you refuse to believe me! I'm acting in your best interest. She's no good, Virgil. She's not worthy of you at all!”
