[Margaret's Perspective]
"You…"
Seeming not to have expected such a retort, Licia's expression froze on her face. She glanced sideways at Elliot who had spoken, then turned back to see Donald's reaction.
Donald simply closed his eyes in silence, showing no intention to speak.
In my heart, I recalled the 'spectacular performance' Licia had put on all the way here, and at this moment, I had no desire to respond to her either. Today, Licia had indeed gone too far!
However, cured and returning as sharp and direct as ever, Elliot's retort to Licia, albeit somewhat presumptuous, indirectly allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief, preventing the journey from being utterly depressing.
And that was the reason no one had spoken up against him just now.
I withdrew the corner of my gaze from Licia and silently pondered another matter.
