Morwenna nced up, surprised to see Bary stepping in to help her. From her perspective, it


    was already a blessing if Bary didn''t lead the charge in tormenting her.


    Jethro was even more shocked that Bary dared to hit him. The guy who was practically his


    sister’spdog was now turning on him. Jethro had caused plenty of trouble before, and with just a


    single call from his sister, Bary would rush to clean up his messes without question. In Jethro''s


    eyes, Bary was nothing more than a faithful hound to his sister, to be treated however he saw fit.


    Pain twisted Jethro’s features into a snarl. “Bary! I’m calling my sister! I’ll make sure she knows


    you''re done for. Don’t expect her to ever look your way again.”


    Bary’s expression shifted, then he stepped forward and kicked Jethro a few more times for good


    measure. “You are you, and your sister is your sister. I believe Adide knows right from wrong.


    Just because you''re Adide’s brother doesn’t give you the right to act like a spoiled brat.”


    Jethro, clutching his stomach, pointed at Bary, stuttering, “You… you…”


    “What about me? You think you have the right to point fingers at me, loser?”


    Dressed in his signature floral shirt, Bary exuded the arrogance of a trust fund kid. Jethro wanted


    to outdo Bary in arrogance but fell short. Jethro''s arrogance was all because of his sister''s


    standing in the Stuart circle. Bary’s arrogance, however, stemmed from the backing of the rk


    family. The difference was fundamental.


    Bary had once thought Adide was the best woman in the world, which by extension made


    Jethro somewhat like family to him. But now, after a tongueshing from Morwenna, he began to


    question himself, his actions, and even his once unshakable belief in Adide’s perfection. If he


    could question his loyalty to Adide and himself, Jethro was hardly a concern. A beating was a


    beating.


    Jethro read the shift in Bary’s attitude, his bluster deted. He realized that without his sister


    here, these people wouldn’t spare him a second nce. Any thoughts of revenge would have to


    wait for another day, another opportunity.


    After venting his frustration with a few more kicks, Bary stopped, noticing Morwenna had been


    watching him the whole time. He instantly stepped back, eager to rify, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I


    didn’t do this for you. I just can’t stand this jerk.”


    Morwenna kept her gaze on Bary. The once boastful Bary took another step back, “What are


    you staring at? Look, I saw you all alone and felt a bit sorry for you, okay? Even if I helped you out


    this time, it doesn’t mean we can be friends.”


    Morwenna’s steady gaze reminded him of Lorna, her roommate. Maybe beneath the harsh words,


    there wasn’t much malice. Fidgeting under Morwenna’s scrutiny, Bary blurted out, “Enough! Stop


    looking at me like that. Fine, if someone bullies you again, I’ll step in, alright? But remember, being


    tough isn’t everything. Having connections is crucial. And for the record, I’m not doing this for you.


    I’m just saving face for Stuart, so you don’t get bullied too badly.”


    The more Bary talked, the more awkward he felt, abruptly turning to leave. He feared any more


    conversation might lead him to publicly dere his protection over Morwenna.


    She was a dangerous person to him. Their few interactions had all ended unpleasantly. Yet, he


    couldn’t help but worry. Morwenna was straightforward and impulsive, not considering the


    consequences of her actions. Not everyone was as patient as him. If she inadvertently offended


    someone with real power, she might not even know what hit her.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
