Her words hit me like a ton of bricks. I spun on my heel and hailed a cab almost instinctively. Lyla wasn't the kind of person to pick fights, so who could have bullied her at Haris University?

thopped into the cab as reassured her. "Don't worry I'm on my way. I'll catch the next flight and be there as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, Lyla. I'm here for you. However, my words didn't seem to affect her at all. Frantic, I put my phone on speaker and started booking the earliest flight could replace The earliest light to Haris wasn't until tonight Trouldn't help but curse under my breath. Lyla eventually calmed down after crying for a while.

"I'm not in Hans. I'm in Napel I went to your school to look for you this afternoon, and Iran into Leah..!"

Taived at the police station half an hour later. By the time I arrived, Ethan was already there.

Leah was sitting on the left side of the mediation room, while than crouched in front of her, looking at her with a gentle expression and speaking softly. A lawyer, carrying a briefcase, stood behind Ethan.

As soon as I stepped into the mediation room, be glanced at me before averting his gaze. However, I couldn't care less about anyone else at the moment.

"Who's behind this?

"Lyla was the one who started it"

"I know." I met his gaze. "So, if Lyla is severely injured or worse, we'll take full responsibility and cover the compensation. Similarly, if the situation were reversed, we'd expect the sure treatment"

Lyla came to St. Nicholas University to look for me, and she didn't know a single person there. So, it was hard to believe that Rachel, someone she didn't know, would attack her out of the blue

Eihan pinched the bridge of his nose. "We're not asking for an apology for what happened. Since Rachel kit Lyla, I've arranged for her to spend a few days in detention to appease you."
