It Seems I Missed the Most Exciting Scene

It was undeniable that Cynthia's words at this moment were somewhat influenced by what Daniel had said earlier.

Even though she knew Daniel's words were far from sincere, Tristan's actions had indeed made her feel deeply hurt.

She calmly finished speaking and was about to turn to leave.

As she brushed past Tristan, he suddenly grabbed her wrist. "Cynthia, I've never denied your abilities, nor have I ever thought you weren't worthy to stand by my side."

"Really?" Cynthia's gaze was calm, her expression unmoving.

Her eyes were too still, like a stagnant pool of water that couldn't stir even the slightest ripple.

At that moment, a wave of unprecedented panic and fear swept over Tristan, creeping up his chest.

His grip on Cynthia's wrist tightened a little more. "I know that my concealment has made you angry. You can hit me, you can yell at me, but can you not keep it all inside and not say hurtful things?"
