His razor-sharp tongue could come in handy at times

When Virgil heard Barlow's words, he frowned and asked, "Stop! Where are you taking Karina?"

Rosalynn's smile vanished, replaced by a cold, sharp-edged expression.

She faced Virgil and said, “Virgil, I don't think it’s appropriate for Karina to go back with you. You know her. She's a frank person. I'm afraid she won't be able to handle someone so manipulating. By the way, I asked Keegan to record the conversation. It has nothing to do with Karina. Does Annalise also think I'm after you?"

Virgil's expression froze as he watched the three Leave.

Annalise clenched her jaw, cursing Rosalynn and Barlow in her mind.

Seeing that Virgil remained motionless, she quickly switched gears, putting on an aggrieved face.

“Virgil, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I tend to speak without thinking first. I only gave them something to use against me. We should probably not see each other anymore. A woman Like me doesn't deserve to be with you."

Forcing a few tears, she gasped and covered her mouth before running away.

Snapping out of his trance, Virgil immediately grabbed her hand.

"Wait! Please don't go. Annalise, you know I can't Live without you."

Annalise's previous worries melted away, knowing she held Virgil's heart.

"But Karina has feelings for you. I wouldn't want to steal you from her."

“Honestly, I see Karina more as a sister. It's you whom I love,” Virgil confessed hastily.

“Virgil, you've been incredibly kind to me."

A cunning smile curved across Annalise's Lips as she leaned against his chest.

Virgil wrapped his arm around her, pulling her into a tight embrace. He should be happy, but beneath the surface, a faint undercurrent of unease tugged at his heart.

Meanwhile, Rosalynn pulled Karina out of Barlow's arms.

“Thank you, Barlow. I'll take Karina home."

Observing Karina's stumbling figure, Barlow asked, “Can you take her back alone? Do you need my help?"

Rosalynn supported Karina, squinting slightly.

"Are you planning to pursue Karina?"
