“Nicole, is it because you’ve finally tasted power that you have to ruin me like this? I already agreed to compensate you. Why won’t you let this go?

I could not help but ask, “Then tell me, Merla, when you blocked my way earlier, did you think about showing mercy? When you smashed my car, did our so–called ‘friendship‘ ever cross your mind?”
“Oh, right.” I nodded lightly, my lips curling into a cold smile. “People like you only talk
about morality when you’re the one suffering. That’s when you suddenly remember the importance of ‘kindness‘.”

“Let’s wait and see. I want to have a little fun with this father–daughter duo
tonight.”
