When Daniel had called her earlier, he had only asked her to come to the hospital. At first, she thought it was related to Ryan, but when she saw the crowd downstairs, she understood it had to do with Delyth Embers, the popular ballet dancer of the current times.

    She didn''t know how Delyth''s situation involved her to the point that Daniel had to call her here. But since it was Daniel, she knew there had to be a reason.

    Daniel looked at Arwen and said, "Delyth''s accident. She claims you are one behind it." Even as he said it, even he couldn''t help but feel how absurd it sounded. But seeing how Ryan might believe Delyth''s accusations about Arwen, he called her up quickly so that she could come and explain herself.

    Arwen''s expression shifted from confusion to disbelief. She looked at Daniel and asked again, "I did what? Her accident? Are you even serious, Daniel? Why would I do that?"

    "I know it''s not you. But Delyth is confidently blaming you." Daniel tried to explain, though it still made no sense to Arwen.

    "So? If she blames it on me, does that mean the law will convict me?"

    Daniel shook his head. "No, Arwen, I didn''t mean that." Just as he said this, the elevator dinged open and he gestured for her to step out first. Arwen did, but her disappointment was evident on her expression.

    To say the truth, Daniel had never believed Delyth''s words, not even for a second, but with Ryans so deeply under her spell, he just wanted Arwen to step in and shut her down. "Arwen, Ryan is your fiance?, I thought you might want to explain," he said.

    "Well, I don''t," Arwen shook her head, adding, "Because Ryan is no longer my fiance?. So, I don''t mind whatever he thinks."

    Daniel was confused. But before he could ask anything, he heard Ryan''s voice from a distance. "Arwen, what are you doing here?"

    Both Daniel and Arwen turned to face him. Ryan eyed them both as he slowly approached. "I asked you something. What are you doing here?"

    Arwen was already losing her patience. She turned to Daniel and said, "I guess I came here to clear the accusations being thrown at me."

    Delyth glared at Arwen with obvious resentment. "What do you mean? Don''t act innocent, Arwen. I am already in this state, and you still think I am pretending?"

    "Aren''t you?"

    Delyth expression shifted slightly. but she held her ground. Tugging at Ryan''s jacket, she cried, "Arwen, why do you hate me so much when I have always been so nice to you? There is nothing between me and Ryan. I have told you so many times. Can''t you please believe me?"

    "Believe you? How should I do that—" Arwen paused, shifting her gaze to Ryan, who was still holding Delyth in his arms as a lover holds his sweetheart. "—when I can see him holding you dearly in his arms while silently accusing me of the same crime you are accusing me of? After seeing his such biasness towards you, you still expect me to believe there''s nothing between you two?"

    "Arwen, so you are admitting that out of jealousy, you did what you did," Delyth said, her voice hiding the smug she was feeling inside. It was like she had set a trap and was pleased Arwen had walked into it.

    Daniel frowned at the obvious manipulation. He wanted to defend Arwen when Ryan''s roar silenced everything.

    "Arwen! How dare you? How can you be so vicious? Kneel and apologize to Delyth now. "

    "Ryan, what are you saying? Can''t you see that she is deliberately twisting Arwen''s words? " Daniel stepped forward to defend her, but Ryan shut him down.

    "Daniel, you are the one blind to her true nature. Stay out of this. I will handle it." He then turned back to Arwen and repeated, "Did you not hear me, Arwen?"

    "Ryan, it''s fine. You don''t have to make Arwen do that. She was just jealous and did that to take revenge on me. I might have suffered but I don''t blame her. Just now, I simply got a little overboard. She —" Delyth spoke in the kindest tone; only to be sharply interrupted by Ryan.

    "I said Apologize to Delyth now, Arwen. Don''t make me repeat myself."

    "Not even for the world," Arwen said, shocking everyone.
