Chapter 196: The Harassment

Nivritti was silently listening to Jae-Hwa's story. Jae-Hwa had her head lowered with shame. She was unable to look Nivritti in the eyes. Nivritti held her hand while she was telling her everything. She was shocked to know that Dae kept asking about her.

Why was he trying to turn Jae-Hwa against her? Why he kept asking about her? What did he mean by presenting Nivritti's ideas as hers? Why was he jealous of her? Why was he asking Jae-Hwa to be smart? Was he biased towards her? Did he want her to succeed or Nivritti to fail?

But Nivritti never did anything to him, so why was he against her? He always talked to her nicely, she never got the vibe that he didn't like her. So, why was he pitting Jae-Hwa and her against each other?
