The man received another forceful blow from Leon, who eventually kicked him away. Blood from theman’s injuries stained Leon’s fist as he pulled a silk scarf from his pocket to wipe it clean.

Facing the trembling Millie, Leon’s once-overpowering rage seemed to dissipate.

Millie resembled a frightened bird, seeking refuge within herself.

Millie understood that if it weren’t for Leon, she would have fallen victim to the man’s assault.

“What happened? I heard a loud noise from next door.”

At that moment, Fiona rushed over, appearing puzzled. Upon arrival, she hastened to cling to Leon, asif deeply frightened.

Leon tured to her with a touch of impatience.

“Why is there a man here? What has he done?”

Fiona gestured towards the man kneeling on the floor. Watching the scene unfold, Fiona was overtakenby remorse, seeing that the man hadn’t succeeded and that Leon had rescued Millie.

Instead of paying attention to Fiona, Leon’s gaze was fixed on Millie. He understood that girls must feeldevastated after such incidents.

Stepping forward, he softly uttered, “Millie.”

After a moment, Millie spoke in a sullen tone. “Leon, someone sent him here specifically to humiliateme. Can you help me discover who’s orchestrating this?”

She had crossed paths with many people, but her intuition suggested that the person behind this mightbe Fiona.

Upon hearing this, Leon’s face turned dark with fury. The idea that someone was orchestrating this hadnot crossed his mind.

He narrowed his deep eyes, and the anger in them frightened Fiona.

“Who sent you?” he snapped, releasing Fiona’s hand and advancing toward the bruised man.

The man nervously shook his head, stammering, “No, no one. I’ve been attracted to her beauty forages.”

Millie inhaled deeply, standing tall as she asserted, “You confessed to accepting money from others toinsult me.”

“[.. Ilied to you,” the man protested, glancing furtively at Fiona who was signaling him to remain silent.

Millie caught this small gesture and felt her anger rise. Fiona indeed orchestrated this whole farce.
