"Mrs. Pierce, why are you here?"

"I know you misunderstood something because you saw me with Mr. Pierce, but you can’t just jump to conclusions."

"The guests here are allowed to enter and leave the mansion freely, I know that, but wandering into other people’s houses is a different matter altogether."

"I won’t argue if you don't care about your own safety, but at least you have to care about Mr. Pierce's reputation, don't you think?"

Simon’s expression grew darker with each word Serena spoke.

Before I could respond, he spoke first, "You're really embarrassing me."

Then, she pulled Serena away, leaving me alone in the crowd.

Watching his leaving figure, I tried to call out to him. But as soon as I opened my mouth, blood poured out.

The next moment, everything went black.
