Keira glanced at Erin, who had just spoken up.

Erin nudged her forward, chin held high with pride. "Go on, show them what you've got! Don't let these people keep looking down on us."

Keira blinked at her.

Her appearance left Eve and Selena momentarily speechless.

Both of them quickly turned to Keira, "Are you really N?"

Keira was about to respond when Lewis suddenly cut in, "Whether she's N or not, as I said, this has nothing to do with Ms. Clark. Butler, it's time to see our guests out."

The butler immediately moved to Eve's side.

Eve stared at Lewis, her eyes brimming with tears as if she were heartbroken. She lifted her chin and asked, "Lewis, do you really feel nothing for me?"

She stepped closer, her voice trembling, "We studied abroad together and came back to Crera together. Does everything we've shared mean less to you than what you have with Keira?"

Keira raised an eyebrow at Lewis.

Before she could say anything, Erin's challenging voice piped up from behind, "Mr. Horton, what's this about? You'd better give us an explanation! What's all this talk about time abroad? Did you cheat on my cousin?"

Keira hesitated, about to speak. Lewis replied, "There's nothing between us. Sure, we were in the same class, but as for coming back to Crera together, there were over twenty of us who returned at the same time. Ms. Clark, I'm not sure what kind of bond you think we have."

Erin caught on immediately, "Oh, so someone's been getting ahead of themselves."

Lewis's expression darkened, "Alright, this has gone on long enough. Let's end it here."
