Chapitre 253: What he wanted… was her

Ryan accepted the situation much faster than Mia and Alice had expected. Especially Mia, who thought that if something like this happened to her, she'd be devastated for a long time.

"Honestly, I think something feels off."

Ryan rubbed his chin as he found a separate report of the news clip online.

On TikTok, the news had already hit over a million views in just half an hour.

Ryan was famous now—infamous, actually.

He was being painted as a villain who bullied innocent people, and the comment section was flooded with insults, with people demanding the authorities arrest him immediately.

Thanks to Miss Alice's connections, Ryan's safety could be temporarily ensured, but physical harm and emotional damage were two very different things.
