"Sophia, you're really hurting me by accusing me like this." Ethan looked at her, clearly exasperated.
"I get it. Maybe because of what happened the last couple of times, you've gotten the idea that I'm easy to push around, right? So now you think you can just show up whenever you want, assuming that someone as soft as me won't dare do anything to you, huh?"
Ethan finally understood where Sophia's confidence was coming from.
It must've been because when Lila stood in for him, she acted too weak in front of Sophia, making her think Ethan was easy to bully.
"What... what are you going to do?" Sophia asked, her voice trembling as she watched Ethan suddenly stand up and walk toward her.
For a moment, she felt a strange sense of foreboding coming from him.
Ethan stopped in front of her, looked down, and said, "I remember you used to call me 'big brother' when you were little. So today, I'll treat you like a little sister and teach you a lesson."
