Chapter 361

“Halt!”

Neil blocked Russel with his hand, his eyes full of anger. “What are you doing here?”

Russel chuckled coldly. “Looking for Irene.”

Russel pointed at me. I looked terrible, with Russel’s words still echoing in my mind.

Karina was back. That meant any attempts at rekindling my relationship with Neil were pointless.

It was time to set boundaries with Neil, but not now.

“Neil, let Russel go. I’ve already talked to him.” I said to Neil.

Neil stared blankly at me. “What did you talk about?”

“I’ve always liked Irene, and that hasn’t changed. What did she tell you?” Russel answered for me.

This answer only infuriated Neil more. My past entanglement with Russel had caused several arguments between Neil and me, and now Russel was standing right in front of me.

I might have been scared before, but now, thinking of Karina and Russel’s words, I felt the need to protect myself.
