Persephone turned away from Rebecca, her hands involuntarily clenching.

She could sense Rebecca's gaze behind her, filled with resentment and a hint of smugness.

Bringing Rebecca to Southeast Aciatic was actually her idea. She had learned about her ulterior motive back in Centrolis. What she hadn't expected was Rebecca's stubborn nature even after arriving.

Persephone took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and turned around to give Rebecca a smile.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in what you're saying at all."

Rebecca looked somewhat surprised, staring at her.

"Ms. Hamerton, don't you want to understand Mr. Orton's past better? I can help you!"

"You know deep down if you're really helping me or trying to help yourself." Persephone crossed her arms mockingly. "In your eyes, I'm just that rich, spoiled young woman who's reckless because of her family's money, right? I'm a person without any brains to you, aren't I?"

"No..."

"Correct, I'm not too brainy." Persephone chuckled. "Because I'm in love!"

Rebecca looked nervous and avoided meeting her eyes.
