Bab 166: New Beginning

Just when Marceau was feeling hopeless and Deanna was ready to give in, a friendly voice broke through the tension.

"Hey, you two, it looks like you're being blackmailed. Want me to call the cops?" Arix asked, smiling warmly at Deanna and her brother.

Turns out the commotion had caught Arix's attention. She and Drexel had come back to see what was going on and witnessed the whole scene.

Drexel stood behind Arix, watching with keen interest. Seeing Arix get riled up was a rare treat. This was going to be fun.
