Trembling, I immediately shrank back in fear
Riley sighed.
âIf you refuse to apologize, I wonât be able to stop the villagers from beating you.
People have to pay for their mistakes, and
Iâm afraid youâre no exception.
As you can see, there are a lot of angry people here.
Even I donât know just how angry they are.
In fact, they might just kill you.
â
My eyes widened.
Riley was actually threatening me?
Looking at the angry mob that was approaching me again, I was in extreme panic.
No, I couldnât die here!

Marleyâs POV:
The situation was not in my favor, so I was forced to compromise.
I said reluctantly, âSorry, itâs my fault.
â
âThatâs all? You are far too insincere!â
Disappointment was written all over the citizenâs faces
Riley said, âLuna Marley, where is your sincerity? Who would accept such a perfunctory apology? The villagers are all discerning.
â
Left without a choice, I bowed sincerely.
âIâm sorry.
I shouldnât have taken advantage of you.
I wonât do it again.
Please accept my apology.
â
Only then did the hostility on their faces subsidized.
âYouâre smart!â
âBe true to your words.
Donât do it again.
â
âRemember your promise, or we will beat you every time we see you!â
I frantically nodded at everyone.
With Rileyâs command, the pariahs finally stepped back
As they did, I took the opportunity to get away from the scene.
The wind blew over my face as I sprinted, and I breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
I still couldnât figure it out.
Why did Caleb go out to protect Debra and sell me out on purpose?
