"I like strong women."
Emma and Xion almost spouted their wine when they heard Therius' words.
"Shameless," Emma grumbled. She sneered at Therius and responded curtly. "I will never like you."
Therius' pair of topaz eyes glint dangerously as he heard Emma's words. Nevertheless, he tried to hold back and sip his wine calmly as usual.
"Don't think too highly of yourself. You are not a strong woman," taunted Therius. "I can easily kill you."
"You...!" Emma clenched her glass with anger and had to hold back from breaking it to pieces.
Xion hiccuped at Therius's words.
'You should write the book "101 WAYS TO MAKE THE GIRL YOU LIKE HATE YOU",' Xion muttered inwardly.
It seemed like Therius was so good at making himself look bad that Emma hated him more and more.
Emma pursed her lips and finished her wine. She then stood facing Therius and spoke in a stern voice.
