Chapter 545: Chapter 360: The Flower That Has Passed, Will Never Return—The Sacrifice of Chiba Shimizu.

Otome Yumeko had other matters to attend to, and after her chat with Chiba Shimizu, she left the villa once again.

"By the way, remember to tell Haruka that I'll come back for dinner tonight; I encountered something joyful, and naturally, we should celebrate."

The young lady said this before she left.

"Okay, sure."

Chiba Shimizu nodded, her delicate and pretty face showing no expression.

As the sun set and the evening sky was tinged with red, golden dust danced in the flower garden, and the girl stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring blankly at the scenery outside.

She was deep in thought,

pondering over her plan.

To show weakness, to step back, only hoping that Otome Yumeko would not harm Sister Reiko and the others by then.

The matter surrounding Haruka Yuzan would be exposed sooner or later.

It might not be today, it might not be tomorrow, but that day would eventually come.
