Hearing this, the hand Rory had extended to help Nix up froze mid-air.
Then, she slowly withdrew it, pulling her hand tightly into a closed fist.
Her heart, which had just softened, instantly felt as if it had been plunged straight into liquid nitrogen—frozen rock-solid, hard enough to spark if hit against anything.
Great.
Just magnificent.
Rory took a deep breath, feeling her brain buzzing incessantly.
She demanded of Nix, "Spill. Who else did you send those photos of mine to?"
Nix replied with utmost caution, "Just... just to Jasper, Vincent, and Yuel. And... and my mother. I didn't send them to anyone else!"
Rory: "…"
So, she was supposed to praise him for his restraint, was that it?!
The mere thought that her embarrassing photos had been seen not only by her mother, but also by Jasper, Vincent, and Yuel, made Rory want to fly completely off the handle.
"Heh..."
