Chapter 496 (1/2)

”What's up?”

Sitting in front of the desk, the ”black framed glasses” put down his book and raised his eyebrows.

”Er... You can say so...” the absent-minded Isaac shrugged, glanced behind him and closed the door: ”I can't sleep a little, so I thought... You haven't slept anyway. Why don't we talk?”

”If you want to talk about the 300 million silver coins, I have told you - Loren Turin lied to you. He won all the money himself, and you don't need my permission.”

The expressionless girl's eyes were calm: ”in addition, I don't need you to apologize to me, because my goal has been achieved - thanks to you, all my debts have been paid off.”

”I know this... I might as well know it when those little fools asked me to apologize to you.” Isaac rolled his eyes, then sat directly in front of the ”black frame glasses”, tilted his head and showed a fake smile at the corners of his mouth:

”But I still feel I owe you an apology.”

”Do you not understand the common language of Empire, or do you not understand human language at all?” Lina sarcastically said: ”do you not understand? I deliberately angered you and asked Loren Turin to apologize and pay off my debt.”

”Isaac Grantham, I used you, okay?”

”Well... This statement is a little hurtful...”

Isaac tilted his mouth and was embarrassed. He didn't dare to look at the face of ”black frame glasses”. He didn't know where to put his restless hands.

”So you don't have to apologize to me at all, and I won't accept it, because it has nothing to do with you here; you're just an insignificant piece I use to achieve my goal.”

The girl snorted and stopped looking at him. She opened the book in her hand again and looked through it: ”this is a deal between me and Loren Turin - he helped me pay off my debt, and I came forward as his witness, that's all.”

”You don't accept... Sorry, what does it have to do with whether you accept it or not?”

Isaac stared at her strangely, with a natural expression. ”Correct it, this is not to 'let me apologize to you'... Forgive me for pausing. Do you understand what 'moral condemnation' means?”

The girl who bowed her head and didn't speak had a new understanding of someone's absurdity.

”This sentence comes from a scripture of the Holy Cross Church... Thank my two devout parents, otherwise I can't know what such ghosts don't believe... In short, if a person can't be forgiven, he will be in a state of 'self repentance' semi permanently until he forgets it.”

”Well... I'm listening.” the girl dealt with it without raising her head.

”I mean 'I need to apologize to you and get your forgiveness', not that you need to get my apology... Understand?”

”You are really a complete fool,” Lina muttered.

”I can't agree with this view... But it's not a gentleman's job to argue with women; so I don't remember villains and pretend you haven't said this...”

“……”

Isaac shrugged. ”But now that we're talking about you and Loren, how about we continue to talk about you two?”

”... what else do you want?”

For a moment of peace, the ”arrogant” who had just muttered did not go on. In the quiet room, only the sound of ”black framed glasses” turning books could be heard.

A quarter of an hour has passed

The numb girl looked up and saw Isaac with a tangled face. She couldn't help humming coldly: ”why... Don't some people still want to talk about me and Loren Turin?”

Isaac seemed to be hesitating. The impatient ”black framed glasses” had got up and left with the book and walked to the bed: ”if there's nothing, I'll be ready to sleep...”

”I know you're going to lie to him.”

The girl's voice stopped abruptly and stopped rigidly in place; Behind him came Isaac's helpless sigh:

”You promised to testify for Lusaka, just lying to him... Because this stupid student has no hope except you.”
