You've dragged it out until you're twenty-eight with no one willing to marry you, making even your grandmother worry herself sick. Aren't you ashamed?"

Sometimes, it just makes me want to destroy everything you have!" I didn't wait for her to finish her rant before hanging up.

These people are a bunch of idiots, she thought. “I do not expect that you all won't understand how much of a damage speculation that arose from jealousy can ruin a united industry like ours. Whoever said such word, I will forget it. But I don't want my reputation to be tarnished further than what some bad people have already done…”she was saying when everyone yelled at her to sit down. “I don't care if you were framed or not.

"Can I come over to your side to keep you company, Grandpa? If I don’t hear a reply from you, I’ll consider your silence as consent."

"No, let me translate Lis, the meaning of Key's words!" Hmm… Joshua coughed a little “I mean, what are you still doing here? I don't need it anymore, just go sono!" Joshua raised his eyebrows "Really Key? You mean that right? Calm down, no need to praise, I'm an expert on women's words. Every woman will always say the opposite of what they want.
