Chapter 44

"Chris, Hera grew up in the mountains since she was young and isn't very knowledgeable about manners. I apologize on her behalf if she has offended you in any way," Giselle said graciously, portraying herself as a protective older sister. Little did she know, her words sounded quite offensive to Christopher. So what if Hera grew up in the mountains? Despite limited teaching resources in the mountains, she managed to educate herself and excel. She had every right to be proud! "Don't speak about Hera like that in the future," Christopher said sternly before glaring at the other girls who were watching. "Same goes for all of you." After issuing his warning, he turned and walked away. Giselle and the several girls were puzzled. Why was Christopher not only not angry with Hera but also protecting her? Could it be that he had fallen for Hera's looks? Giselle's eyes were filled with envy and resentment when she thought of Hera's exquisite appearance, and her nails dug into her palms.
