Bryant stood up and fetched a hot towel, giving Valerie some time to calm down.
When the towel was used to wipe her face, eyebrows and eyes, which was very gentle. The warm mist was a good tranquilizer. When Bryant wiped Valerie's face, Valerie's body stopped trembling.
Bryant asked her gently, "You said Leon threatened you. What did he say?"
Holding a white towel in both hands, Valerie was no longer pale, with brown eyebrows, black mascara, lipstick and red cheeks, and a large area of naked color.
Her face was covered with nude powder, and the pure white towel was stained, like falling into the mud on a rainy day.
Valerie held it tightly.
Valerie said, "Leon said that it was me who let others spread the rumor about my relationship with him. He asked me to find a way to solve it. He also asked me how long it would take, and he said that he wouldn't wait too long."

His eyes were not focused, and his thoughts were drifting away.
"You fell in love with Leon at the charity dinner at that time, didn't you? You love Baker, but you love yourself more. You can't help but fall in love with a better man than Baker. Leon is excellent, and there are too many people who fall in love with him. Just like most people, you think he is too far away from you, so you don't dare to think about it. But that day, he suddenly got close to you, and you inevitably would fall in love with him.
You couldn't control yourself since you were a child. That's why you feel scared and think he's paranoid and terrible when Leon trapped you in the castle."
Facing the door, Valerie wanted to escape with her toes moving slightly.
Because what Bryant said was right, she felt ashamed and angry as if she had been stripped in broad daylight.
