"Brian, you are utterly shameless! You makesick." Her words hit Brian like a dagger to his heart.

Without another word, Claire turned coldly and walked out of the room.
No sooner had she stepped outside than she saw Andie struggling with Vanessa over the embroidery piece "Radiant Beauty." With a ripping sound, the fabric tore.

"Enough? Wasn't it Vanessa who first ruined my hair? Wasn't it you who orderedto apologize without knowing the truth? Wasn't it Vanessa who tore my work apart?"
"I never wanted to provoke any of you. It's always been you causing trouble for le for me. When I fight back, I'm the one causing a scene? I deserve to be bullied, is that it?" Brian was at a loss for words, his expression frozen.
Claire picked up the torn embroidery, her heart aching.
She thrust the ruined piece in front of Brian. "Brian, tell me, do I deserve to be bullied and not fight back? If I do fight back, am I being unreasonable, causing a scene?"
Brian's heart was heavy. "Claire, that's not what I meant. I meant...., matter what you meant...ng m can't just hit someone. Vanessa said it was an accident, can't you just let it go?"
