“Zayden…” Naomi stared at Zayden in shock.

Zayden said coldly. This isn’t the end of the matter. Once Nn is back, I’ll settle with it.” Then, Zayden turned and left.

Henry’s voice rang out from behind him. “Don’t forget, you’re already broken off your engagement with Eliza! What right do byou /bbhave /bto confront Nn! Who do you think you are?”

Zayden stood frozen bin /bce as he clenched his fist.

“Zayden, he’s right,” Naomi said gently, eyes filled with nervousness. b“/bbYou /bband /bEliza are no longer engaged. You shouldn’t get involved in her personal matters anymore. And if she really does like Nn, shouldn’t we be offering our blessings instead?”

She watched him closely but anxiously. She had waited so long for Zayden and Eliza to call off their engagement, so there. was no way she’d let Zayden start having other ideas now. If he regretted it, she’d be the joke of btheir /bentire circle.

Who didn’t know about Nn’s character? A person who was ba /bjuvenile band /ba murderer–how good could he be?

Zayden tore his uniform to vent his anger.

“Zayden!” Naomi followed behind him with a pale face.

“Don’t follow me! The people on the field didn’t know what was happening.

Eliza shook her hand, “No, I just felt a chill…”

The hotel room was silent. Nn stared at Eliza for a while and asked, “Why are you not done with your homework yet?

Nn was speechless. Then, he said, I never do my homework.”
