In this unfolding situation, Brady would rather bear Blayze's ire than allow him to be deceived by Sabrina in the future. Sooner or later, Brady assumed Blayze would come to realize he was only looking out for a close friend.

Sabrina, perplexed by Brady's unwarranted hostility, maintained her composure.

"You seem to hear some rumors and firmly believe them, given your questions. Even if I provide an explanation, you may remain skeptical. If you truly desire an answer, I can call Tyrone and have him clarify it for you. Perhaps you'd find his words more believable."

A transformation washed over Brady's countenance. He urgently clarified, "Blayze, I'm doing this all for your own good. Can't you see it clearly? Sabrina is cunning. She had an affair with Tyrone, but she's too afraid to admit it because she doesn't want to tarnish her images in your eyes."

Mr. Wilde paused for a moment before adding, “Blayze, what Brady's saying does hold some merit. If you're simply considering her as a student, that's one thing. But if you have any other intentions...
