"You..."
"What do you mean 'you'? I'm just standing from an outsider's perspective kindly advising you. As a woman, show some backbone. Don't revolve around a man; it will only make people more disgusted."
Eliana Arcane was rendered speechless by Valentine Teller's words.
She was both angry and resentful, looking sorrowfully at Mark Reed's stern face, softly calling out, "Mark..."
Mark Reed finally put down his knife and fork, turned to meet her gaze, but her tearful face elicited no pity from him.
He used to think Eliana Arcane was capable and sensible, which was why he reluctantly agreed to date her.
After a few dates, it was just dining, not even holding hands, yet she already considered him her boyfriend, relentlessly pursuing him, which annoyed him immensely.
"Miss, you've said enough. You can leave now. I don't want to see you again."
