"Alright, Elina and I forgive you. So please, raise your head. I feel ashamed and guilty seeing you like this," Nolan said, pretending to be embarrassed.
Rafine felt a wave of relief, but at the same time, a faint smile tugged at her lips.
Hehehe... Nolan Lorian, oh Nolan Lorian, I didn't expect you to fall into my trap, she giggled inwardly.
What she did wasn't entirely out of guilt—it was a calculated move to leave Nolan with no choice but to forgive her.
It was a cunning method, but she didn't care. Now that Nolan had forgiven her, the Austin family's crisis was completely resolved.
Hmph! What an annoying guy, she muttered with a soft snort. It won't be long before you fall for me. And when you do, I guarantee you won't be able to escape.
She hadn't forgotten how boldly he had humiliated her—ignoring her, making her look like a desperate fool in front of the other young nobles.
She would definitely make him pay for that, many times over.
