"Save your thanks," Karina warned, her tone stern. "Should you ever bring sorrow to Corrine or harm her, rest
assured, I'll make you deeply regret it."
Just outside, Corrine heard the exchange and felt a sharp pang in her heart.
Karina's words touched the most sensitive parts of her being.
Emotions surged within Corrine, bringing tears to her eyes unexpectedly. Yet, there was also a sense of relief
mixed with the sorrow.

Nobody had ever confronted him so boldly before. Karina's words, "I will make you deeply regret it," echoed in
his mind.
He had already treated Karina with utmost courtesy.
Corrine raised her head slightly, her lips grazing his as she whispered, "I needed you to see how much Karina
