Connor McDonald watched as Todd Knowles and the others left before he walked out from the back of the car.
Then, he smiled and said to Mina, "Those people were the ones who threatened you yesterday, right? Now that they've apologized to you, you shouldn't be in any danger anymore!"
"What does it have to do with you whether I'm in danger?"
Mina sounded very cold as she replied.
When Connor noticed Mina's tone when speaking to him, he was very puzzled. He thought that Mina should be in a good mood now!
"What were you doing hiding behind the car? Did you think that these people came to find trouble with me, so you were afraid of being implicated by me?"
Mina looked at him disdainfully and continued to speak.
It was only now that Connor realized that Mina had misunderstood him!
Connor hid behind the car because he was worried that Todd would expose his identity.
But to Mina, he was a coward who was afraid of being implicated.
