Chapter 1812


    "I got blinded by money. I''m sorry, Thssa. Just forgive me this once..." Daryl pleaded with a mix of urgency and guilt.


    "I never want to see you in Starhaven again!" Thssa turned her gaze away, refusing to look at Daryl anymore.


    Especially since they were colleagues before, had a decent rtionship - that''s what hurt Thssa the most. Being betrayed by a stranger was one thing, but being persistently persecuted by someone who imed to be a friend cut much deeper.


    As soon as Thssa finished her sentence, Daryl tried to say something, but David stepped in, blocking her path, and said sternly, "Please leave. Are you going to book your own ticket out of Starhaven, or should I arrange someone to do it for you?"


    David''s words weren''t a threat; they were a clear indication of an order about to be carried out.


    Daryl, taken aback, gave David a quick look and realized he was taking Thssa''s words as a directmand. She knew arguing with David was futile.


    Thssa was essentially banishing her from Starhaven forever. But Starhaven, a ce dripping with wealth, was where she believed her fortuney. It was here among the movers and shakers that she hoped to encounter a wealthy suitor.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Leaving Starhaven meant resigning herself to a life at the bottom, never able to turn her fortunes around.


    And Thssa, by aligning herself with Lysander, not only became a designer but also had someone like David taking her words as orders! Now, she was being pushed out of Starhaven!


    Daryl couldn''t ept this. She red at Thssa, saying heatedly, "Thssa, are you rushing me out because you''re afraid I''ll find someone better than you? Someone more sessful, with a higher status?"


    Daryl''s words were filled with resentment and anger, not just towards Thssa but also reflecting her frustration and despair over the years spent in the shadows, doing whatever it took in hopes of crossing paths with a wealthy gentleman, a chance that never came.


    Thssa looked at Daryl incredulously. Did she even hear what she was saying?


    Seeing the resentment and


    unwillingness in Daryl''s eyes, Thssa scoffed, "Your ambitions are too grand, far beyond your reach. You don''t belong in Starhaven."


    Thssa had always known about Daryl''s ambitions. Even when she was just a janitor, she dreamt of catching Lysander''s eye, her gaze following him every time he came around, even fantasizing about


    winning his favor. Content belongs

    But three years had passed, and she failed to recognize her own issues, ming her surroundings instead.


    Daryl, provoked by Thssa''s words, tried to confront her but was stopped by David in time.


    Under David''s restraint, Daryl


    shouted at Thssa, waving her arms in fory, "Thssa, what do you think you are? You''re nothing but a country bumpkin who got lucky with Lysander! Do you think you''re better than everyone else?"


    "Shut up and get out!" David snapped, dragging Daryl out.


    Atticus Sinir quickly stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Thssa, and asked with concern, "Mom, are you okay?"


    Thssa smiled, shaking her head, "I''m fine."


    "Mom, don''t take thatdy''s words to heart. She''s just jealous," Atticus Sinir tried tofort Thssa, worried she might be upset.


    "I know, I''m okay, don''t worry," Thssa responded gently, patting Atticus''s head.


    She really didn''t take Daryl''s words to heart. After years of struggling from the bottom up, she had heard it all.


    If she took every harsh word to heart, she would have been overwhelmed by her own anger long ago.


    Daryl''s malicious intentions were her own, and Thssa refused to let them affect her.
