Misappropriation of Large Funds

Lucas looked down at the panicked Kylie with a look of contempt and mockery on his face.

"Have you suddenly remembered that we're former college classmates now that things have come to this? You shouldn't have forgotten how you deliberately picked a fight with me previously and insulted me, your 'former classmate', huh? If you hadn't looked for trouble with me, this incident wouldn't have happened at all. Who are you to ask me to beg for mercy on your behalf?

"Moreover, even now, you're still acting arrogant. Is this the attitude you should have when asking for help? You and I have nothing to do with each other in the first place, and there's no reason for me to help someone hostile toward me for no reason. Get lost!"

Lucas immediately stopped Kylie from reaching over to grab his calf.

Only at this moment did Kylie realize that Lucas was no longer the taciturn person who would allow anyone to bully him whom she remembered.

But… but why?!
