Chapter 248

.

It was what I already anticipated; however, once it turned out to be true, I felt bitter somehow. That was when I heard Yi Ruda's voice again.

I raised my head. The tips of Yi Ruda's long, downcast lashes glistened in the light.

"I ran away from my mother to never become a person like her, but, ironically, I'm using everything I've learned from my mother to escape her."

"..."

"It's the same today. If I didn't learn something like this, I would not have succeeded in sneaking into this event. I'm not a person allowed to enter such a place like this..."

Uttering those words, she looked strangely depressed.

I was about to put my hand on her shoulder after hesitating for a while. She then suddenly lifted her head, saying, "I saw you guys."

"Huh?"

"I saw you, Yoon Jung In, and the Kim twins here..."

Oh... I nodded.
