"She needs to be taught a lesson if the law won't hold her accountable! She's a criminal and a seductress!"
"This isn't good," Rowan muttered, pulling Selina back inside before they could spot her.
Selina looked up at him, trying her best to ignore the murmurs and hostile glares lingering in the air.
