Kieran gritted his teeth.
"The person who suggested to deceive you was me, not Lillian. Let her go."
Ronan raised an eyebrow. He scoffed while looking at Lillian, who was shivering from head to toe.
"Why, you two are really a match made in heaven," he mocked. "Why don't I just drag you to the trial instead?"
"Gladly," Kieran said in response while Lillian cried "NO!" at the same time.
The woman lunged forward and shoved at Ronan's chest. When Ronan did not move even a millimeter away from his spot, Lillian grew desperate.
"This was not what we agreed on! Get away from Kieran, don't hurt him!"
"That was before I knew that he was the bastard who was responsible for this fraudulent act!" Ronan grabbed Lillian's wrists and hissed at her.
"Who is the heartless piece of shit now, hm?"
"I am sorry!" Lillian wailed. "I am sorry that Lucien had to suffer. I am sorry that you had to suffer!"
"Sorry is not going to cut it."
