Mary was in despair when she heard Greg’s words.

“Do you have to be so heartless, Greg?”

Mary pointed at Greg, the pleading look on her face had now turned into one of disgust and resentment.

Greg sneered at Mary and replied expressionlessly, “So you admit that you’ve been giving me sh*t, huh? How long have you forced me to smell it?”
