章 67: Chapter 67: Arthur's Smooth Talk

"Arthur, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have money?"

"Do you think I'll be your mistress because you're rich? Let me tell you, it's impossible. I will never share a man with another woman, no matter who he is!"

Judy spoke with absolute certainty, looking at Arthur as if he were a vile scoundrel. Cheating had crossed her moral line, making him unworthy of any forgiveness. Any explanation would be an excuse.

Arthur's mind raced, thinking of a way to defuse the situation. How could he turn this around?

[Judy: Affection -5]

Arthur was silent for a moment, and Judy's affection continued to drop. Any explanation now would be futile, only making things worse. The only way to change the situation was to turn passive into active.

"Judy, is there some kind of misunderstanding? We are just ordinary classmates. Why do you suddenly have so much hostility towards me? Cheating? Are you... overthinking things?"Arthur asked in return.
