“Do you really think that you’re judging others objectively? How could you think badly of someone who saved you and even think that he was the one who planned it?”

“Michelle, you have to be careful of others. It’s completely possible for that to happen. Why can’t I have my suspicions then?”

“Because you’re making groundless claims. Why don’t you tell me what he’s trying to achieve from doing that?”

“What’s he trying to achieve? He’s already achieved it—you protecting him at all costs. You’re not even trying to see it for what it is before defending him. Don’t you think that’s what he’s after?”

“So you still think that I’m a promiscuous woman who’ll give myself to him once we have a chance to spend time alone?”

“That’s what you said. Don’t put words in my mouth.”

“I said it, but that’s what you meant. You’ve been leading me to say it.”

“Michelle, you must trust me. I’m doing this for your good. He’s not a good guy; you better keep your distance from him.”

“Josie, we’re all adults, and we each have our own opinions. I’m sure we can make decisions for ourselves. If you don’t think that he’s a good guy while I think that he is, there’s no need to discuss this any further because we’ll never be able to come to a consensus.”

“Fine then; let’s not talk about it anymore. However, I hope that our friendship won’t break down just because of him.”

“You’re looking down on me, Josie. I know you’re saying this for my good because you’re afraid that I’ll be cheated, but you should trust in me too. I’m not being taken in by anyone. I won’t let this incident ruin our friendship, but I hope that you’ll respect my decision.”

Even after arguing for half a day, the friends hadn’t come to a conclusion. Although they both said that they wouldn’t let this incident ruin their friendship, they were both clear about what this incident entailed.

…

At the same time, something happened in Gentle Breeze bar.

Finn Taylor had made a trip back to Chicago and brought Lancelot and Guinevere back with him. The latter two were now seated in the bar, and the former tasked Andre Cavill to take care of them.

However, Andrew Cavill had his own plans. “Lancelot, Guinevere, I’ve heard all about you two. Finn brought you guys over, but do you know that he has an arch-enemy here? Will you two dare to get rid of this problem?”

‘An arch-enemy?’ Neither of the two knew whom Andre Cavill was talking about. Besides, it was better for them to take instructions from Finn Taylor than do as they pleased.

While the couple had their own ideas, so did Andre Cavill. The latter felt that Melanie Taylor was trampling all over his boss, so much so that Finn Taylor’s friends and even the Gold family were now forced into a corner.

Given the current circumstances, Andre Cavill hoped that the couple would be able to deal with Melanie Taylor and resolve the entire matter. ‘Didn’t they say that these two people are very impressive? Even I can’t beat them, so won’t they be able to deal with that brat—Melanie Taylor—then?’

“I guess you two are afraid. If that’s the case, just treat it as though I said nothing.”

Lancelot and Guinevere had never feared anything. Even when they had been forced into a corner by Peregrine Hall, they never retreated. Of course, the other’s words provoked them.

“Afraid? We’ve never been afraid. If you tell us who that arch-enemy is, we’ll get down to it and deal with them right away.”

“Don’t get so smug. It won’t be nice if you end up embarrassing yourselves.”

“Embarrassing ourselves? Do you think that we won’t be able to handle it? Why don’t you tell us who that arch-enemy is? How frightening can they be?”

“Not very. She’s just a twenty-something-year-old brat.”

“What do you mean? You thought that we would be afraid of such a young brat? Are you looking down on us?”

“Don’t misunderstand me. I didn’t mean that, but that brat has quite a family background. She’s the princess of South-East Asia’s Taylor family. Let me ask you this again then: do you two dare to deal with her?”

South-East Asia’s Taylor family was a well-known and powerful family. Even though the couple had remained in the woods, they had heard of the family.

Of course, this meant that things would get tricky if they wanted to deal with the family’s eldest daughter.

Andre Cavill had already expected that reaction from the couple, who remained silent. But since he had already said such things, he had naturally already thought of ways to convince the couple.

“Hehe, just like I expected. The family’s name must’ve scared you off. Didn’t you tell me that she was just a young brat earlier? Don’t you think I’m in the right to look down on you now?”

“Nonsense! You look down on us? Hurry up and tell us where she lives. We’ll subdue her right away and let her know just how impressive Lancelot and Guinevere are!”

It was more effective to provoke one than to invite one to act.

Andre Cavill was skilled in doing so. It hadn’t taken him much effort to turn the couple against the Taylor family and evoke hatred in them! ‘If Finn finds out about this, I’ll definitely get in trouble. Perhaps I’ll even lose my life.. However, I’m not going to change my mind. I have no regrets!’
