Miss Assassin is heavily addicted

Chapter 74, Section 31: Facts Win Over Eloquence

"So what happened?"

Galina's father, the bearded finance minister, asked in a low voice.

Galina's boyfriend, Algernon, looked at the faint red handprint on her cheek, both alarmed and reassuring, "Are you alright? Does it hurt?"

There was a lot of discussion.

Amid the noise, someone recounted the scene.

She was one of the ladies in that small group.

"Galina was chatting with her about men and marriage, and then she got jealous of Miss Galina's beauty and connections, so she started a fight," a young lady said with a shake of her head and a sigh.

What a beautiful use of subtle and euphemistic language!

This distorted account immediately caused many people to frown, because if it were true, it would be truly appalling.

However, this refers to Nydia. Because she was the one who did it.

All eyes turned to her, and some noticed Loris, but no one thought much of it. However, the brother knew his younger sister's personality and guessed that she would fight over Loris.

"No, it was this guy who started it by saying bad things. She mocked me for not being able to find a boyfriend."

Nitil said indignantly, and her brother suddenly felt dizzy and said, "Oh my god, please don't say anything more and confuse us."

Fortunately, Galina actually responded.

"That's what I said, so what? Neither you nor the one next to you will ever be liked by any man."

This unruly blonde woman, relying on her power, began to publicly hurl insults at others. Undoubtedly, she, who should have been on the high ground, became an equal.

The newspaper editor-in-chief behind him gasped. He really loved watching women argue.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer's face also stiffened. This was tantamount to his own daughter admitting to offending someone first. It was only natural that she would be slapped for such vicious words... But he couldn't possibly not side with his own daughter.

"Alright, Galina, let's leave it at that."

After a long hushed conversation, he spoke.

Galina snorted twice, as if looking down on people, but at least she agreed to stop there.

Nytil's brother was relieved; it was best that things ended there. Of course, he would still need to personally apologize for the aftermath.

It's just that he only has one younger sister, so there's nothing he can do even if he doesn't feel sorry for her.

Connietier wasn't going to let it go, because the most important thing wasn't over yet, she said earnestly:
“You haven’t apologized to Loris yet.”

Galina looked disdainful, and the people around her exchanged knowing glances, their expressions also somewhat ambiguous.

However, under her father's gaze, Galina still chuckled disdainfully: "Apologize? Then you need to apologize to me too, since you were the one who attacked first."

Nitil replied immediately, "I'm sorry."

Galina: "?"

“Alright, I’ve apologized. It’s your turn,” Nitil said seriously. “Apologize to Loris.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Galina took a deep breath, feeling like she had been tricked.

She couldn't apologize, because that would be tantamount to bowing down.

The scene seemed to freeze for a moment. Nitil's brother was still apologizing, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He even wanted to spank his sister. Damn it, he shouldn't have told her that her friend was there, otherwise this whole mess wouldn't have happened.

Galina did not apologize.

So her father said a few polite words, implying that he would leave it at that and prepare to go.

Nitil could not press the Chancellor for more information, as that would be extremely presumptuous.

So after a few polite words...

Galina smiled triumphantly. Although she had been slapped, it was equivalent to mocking Loris in front of everyone as an unwanted girl, which was enough to degrade a lady's dignity.

As for Loris—she had already clenched her fists, wondering if she should find an opportunity later to put a sack over her head and beat her up again.

This is infuriating.

Even that ugly girl, Galina, turned back before leaving, lip-reading mockingly, "Nobody wants me."

But at this moment.

Just as the controversy was about to end, a clear, gentle, yet highly penetrating voice intervened:
"I'm sorry, I only just found you."

Everyone followed the sound.

A young man with dark hair strolled over. He wasn't wearing the most fashionable and gorgeous formal wear, but rather a well-tailored black suit, which only accentuated his tall and straight figure, broad shoulders, and long legs.

He wore no badges or jewelry to signify his status, yet his overall demeanor inexplicably overshadowed the surrounding men who feigned profundity and were adorned with jewels. His face was handsome, with deep-set eyes and a faint, gentle smile playing on his lips. But what was most striking were his eyes; behind his glasses, they were bright and intelligent, seemingly containing boundless scholarly air and insightful wisdom.

He held only a glass of water in his hand, walked leisurely to Loris's side, and stood next to her very naturally, forming an invisible alliance.

The moment Galina saw him, she froze, unable to move an inch: "No..."

Among the onlookers who were preparing to leave, some noticed the handsome young man standing next to Loris and Nytil, chatting with them, whose relationship with them seemed self-evident.

Regardless of the reason, his outstanding appearance and temperament made that mockery seem like nonsense.

"We shouldn't be too late, right?"

He Ye whispered something to the side. He had just put down the plate and wiped his mouth with a tissue when he rushed over. Fortunately, he managed to save face for his superior.

Loris's reaction to his appearance was clearly a mixture of pleasure and resentment; in the end, she simply crossed her arms, turned her head away, and gave a cold snort.
"You're late, you idiot."

"You, you... what is your relationship with her?"

At this moment, Galina, who had originally left, even broke free from the crowd and returned alone, in disbelief and even anger, drawing even more attention. Her followers, however, were equally dumbfounded.

He Ye looked at the somewhat familiar blonde woman. He had just overheard part of the argument—he knew from the onlookers that the woman seemed to be mocking Lolis for having a bad personality and a flat chest, so no man would like her.

While I really want to agree with this statement, I can't agree with the second half, since everyone has their own destiny.

So it's time to continue the counterattack. After all, I was late, which upset Lolis. I should try to save face for her.

"It's not my place to admit this, I'm sorry." He Ye avoided the question with a smile, leaving everyone with a knowing look.

This only drove Galina even more mad and distressed. She had just won, so what did this mean? Wasn't this a cruel mockery of her? Why did it have to be this guy?! All that butterflies in her stomach just now had become an undeserved disaster?!

"You, you like her? What the hell?... What's so likable about her?!" Galina almost fainted; this lady was dizzy and disoriented from the shock of love.

Seeing this, the Chancellor of the Exchequer had no choice but to come back and help him up.

Other onlookers also moved slightly.

The newspaper's editor-in-chief pushed up his glasses; although such things certainly couldn't be published, he was still happy to hear some gossip.

Seeing this, He Ye slowly explained, saying:

"In my limited understanding, the most dazzling crown for a woman is her independent self. A woman who can dedicate herself to social welfare and national security, and who possesses independent insights and a compassionate heart, is far more charming than any gorgeous clothes or jewelry."

"Salons where people talk only about fashion, balls, and husbands' titles are certainly relaxed and enjoyable."

"But the real appeal of having the opportunity to explore national security and people's livelihood with knowledgeable and realistic people is the kind of relationship that is truly captivating."

With each word He Ye uttered, Jia Lina and her followers' expressions stiffened a little more, because these words seemed to be pearls of wisdom, leaving them unable to refute them, and even unsure whether the other party was praising them or being sarcastic.

Unhurried and methodical, without a single swear word, his words, like a series of powerful punches, shattered the vanity and snobbish values ​​of Galina and others.

Their faces flushed red and then paled, but they couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal. The gazes of the onlookers, who had initially been watching the spectacle, gradually shifted. Her father, as the Minister of Finance, could naturally hear the sarcasm in the words, but he was now even more speechless.

After all, just standing there was enough.

"I'm sorry, everyone must have seen this." The father sighed and shook his head.

"How could this happen... Why you of all people?... How could this happen... Why you of all people?"

Galina murmured weakly, looking so disheveled that it was hard to understand her; clearly, there were other reasons besides being defeated.

Lolis crossed her arms and glanced at He Ye beside her:
Do you know her?

After recalling for a moment, He Ye answered truthfully: "I ran into her when I came here. She was almost splashed with wine, and I blocked it for her."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lolis automatically imagined a heroic rescue scene, and immediately felt a little unhappy.

And a few seconds later—

"hiss--"

He Ye's shoe was stepped on.

"Don't be late next time, come here." Loris turned and walked away.

"Okay, okay... whatever you say, sir."

"……snort."

As Nitil observed the two men's gazes, she wondered when Loris had met a man, and one so handsome at that. Although he seemed somewhat familiar, He Ye was disguised, so she didn't recognize him as Leon, the rookie police officer at the police station.

Regardless, she breathed a sigh of relief for Loris.

What? It's perfectly fine.
