Chapter 80

"If you don't want his apology, just refuse him. Why do you have to make yourself suffer?" Jalen spoke in a gentle tone.

Elaina chuckled. "As you said, the Lory family is unlike the Dunston family. I can't do anything to them now. What could I do but accept their apology?"

Jalen said, "I will help you."

Elaina looked at him as if she saw an alien. She stepped back and said, "She is your childhood sweetheart. Is it really okay for you to do that to her?"

"Just friends. Not childhood sweethearts," Jalen said with a serious face.

But Elaina didn't care. "No need, Mr. Halton. As I said, we barely know each other."

"Elaina..."

"Jalen!" Alisha helped Marcus out of the bathroom with an angry look on her face. "Someone hit Marcus!"

Marcus had a bloody nose and a swollen face, looking miserable. Elaina had to cover her mouth because she almost laughed out.
