Ethan instantly shut up when he saw Celeste in tears. He knew he'd been tricked, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He slouched in the last row of the Predator Beast X, still fuming but also realizing he might have gone too far.
Even if Celeste had provoked him, she was still a girl.
Good thing Lyla had cut him off earlier, otherwise, he wouldn't have known how to back out of that mess.
Up front, Victor shot Williams a look. Williams got the message, heading to the front to take the driver's seat.
Lyla helped Celeste into the second row, gently patting her back as she sobbed.

"Harsh? Did you not hear what she said about you guys?"
"Yeah, but did you have to hit her like that? Look at that face, what a waste…" Leo sighed dramatically.
Ethan side-eyed him. "Oh? You developed some feelings for her?"
