When Ava's cold voice rang out, Nathan clutched his aching head, looking at her in disbelief. His voice trembled as he spoke.
"Ava, please don't joke about this. I admit I was wrong this time, but I really didn't do anything to betray you. Last night was because…"
"Enough! Stop making excuses!" Ava interrupted, her eyes brimming with tears but still defiant.
"Nathan, you said you'd give me an explanation, but I don't need one. I only believe what I see with my own eyes, so don't say anything more.
You did what you did. If you admitted it, I might have respected you a bit. But now, your actions disgust me!" Ava's expression was one of utter disdain as she turned to leave.
Seeing the look on Ava's face, Nathan felt his mind explode with a whirlwind of thoughts. He recalled Ava's words after she lost a lawsuit, words that had haunted him ever since.
