"You know, Mallory— sometimes I do question a lot of things. But then I decided not to say a word because I don't want to make it look like I care. But who are you, Mallory Eastwood? Your character seems minor to everyone else but it seems the world is shaken if you lift your fingers." Did I make such an impression on her?

"I'm just Mallory Eastwood. But I was raised to be aware of my surroundings. My grandparents often tell me that not everyone likes us for who we are. There's people out there that would rejoice if we fall. So I told myself— why would I let myself fall when I can make them bow to me." Lethia didn't say anything. Did my words sound harsh to her?

That's impossible.

This woman is a judge who oversees many difficult cases. She heard harsh words and cursed day and night. Why would she be offended?
