Chapter 228: Chapter 51.2 - Maya Evergreen

"Amelia, can you please leave me alone for today?"

Amelia just stood there, her confident facade crumbling into confusion and hurt. The sudden request from Maya had caught her off guard, and she found herself at a loss for words.

'What?' It was the first time something like this happened, and she couldn't help but open her eyes wide.

Maya, sensing her friend's inner turmoil, offered a small, apologetic smile. "I'll catch up with you later, okay?"

"Wa-"

Before Amelia could formulate a response, Maya turned and left, hurrying away from the scene. The weight of confusion lingered in the air, and Amelia felt a sense of vulnerability she wasn't accustomed to.

'What just happened?' She thought, unable to comprehend. It was all too strange for her own good.

Alex and Chris observed the situation with a certain satisfaction, their smirks growing as they saw Amelia's haughty demeanor unravel.
