Ste was already in a lot of pain from the injury. Her head hurt even more when the woman suddenly
approached her and apologized. “Please get up. There’s no need to make a scene,” said Ste.
The woman was no longer arrogant. She shook her head and started to choke up. “No… I’m ashamed
of myself. I shouldn’t have been biased after seeing a few one-sidedments on the inte, and I
shouldn’t have hurt you on impulse. I’m truly sorry.”
Seeing that her sister was about to be arrested, the little girl on the side was terrified. “P-Please don’t
let the police take my sister, miss. Please…” She cried and pleaded.
Ste pressed her lips together and patted the kid’s head. She turned to Marshall and said, “Let’s send
her home first.”
Marshall nodded, but the little girl was hesitant to go. She held onto Ste and asked, “Are you going to
let my sister go, miss?”
Ste did not answer her question. Instead, she said, “She’ll be back.”
The kid did not get the hidden meaning behind Ste’s words. Hearing that, the little girl felt relieved
and whispered, “Thank you.”
After the child had left, Ste set her eyes on the woman once more. “Get up,” she said calmly.
“I’m not getting up until you forgive me,” the woman sobbed. She knew that her action was caught on
CCTV, and she would face severe consequences if Ste pushed forward with the investigation. Once
detained, she would likely be suspended from school, and her dreams of graduating would be crushed.
More than a decade of hard work would instantly turn into nothing.
However, the school would go through with some motions and give her a warning if Ste forgave her.
She could also take her finals and graduate with sess if the news died down. Therefore, everything
came down to Ste’s view of the matter.
‘She has to forgive me now that I’m begging her in front of so many people. Pushing the case forward
won’t help with her established image of tolerance and generosity,’ thought the young adult.
Many people in the entertainment industry had created a persona for themselves. Some were known to
be foodies; some were known for their book smarts; some were known to be smug, while others had an
innocent appearance.
This incident has caused Ste’s reputation to have a downfall. She’s probably going to take the bait
and promote herself to gain more followers,’ the woman said to herself. However, the truth was the
opposite of what she thought.
Ste did not y her cards as the people expected and did not care about her reputation. “I
appreciate that you admitted your mistake, but I don’t intend to forgive you. You’re an adult. You should
be responsible for your own actions. You can apologize when the investigation is over if you truly
meant what you said.”
The woman was dumbfounded. She never thought that Ste could be so cold-hearted.
Ste did not intend to say anything further. When she turned and walked away, the woman tried to
catch up to her but was subdued by the police. All Ste could hear was the woman’s intermittent cries
and curses from behind.
Marshall stepped forward and draped his coat over her shoulders as he whispered, “Let’s go to the
hospital.”
“Okay,” Ste replied, and her face was extremely white. The handkerchief that was used to put
pressure on her wound was stained with blood. Although the wound seemed to be bleeding a lot lesser
now, it still hurt like hell.
Ste leaned on the passenger seat and closed her eyes in exhaustion. Marshall looked at her pale
face and remained silent for a while before he said, “I’m sorry. I should’ve stayed by your side.”

Ste opened her eyes, and her gaze did not hold any me. Instead, her eyes were filled with
understanding as she said, “This has nothing to do with you. It’s not like you could predict the future.
Things would be much worse if you didn’t appear in time like you did. You saved me.”
