Upon hearing that, the twins’ eyes flashed with fear as they thought of something and they hurriedly waved their hands.
"It would be better if what happened now doesn’t reach our sister’s eyes. She can be very vengeful and keep grudges."
"And if we go with you, we will need to explain ourselves. In the end, we will get exposed!"
The girls adamantly refused, and Ruby echoed the same as well.
Sean, seeing that he had hit a wall, decided to not force things any longer.
"Okay. That’s fine," he accepted this outcome with a sigh before adding, "and thank you for forgiving Sophia. She is a bit down, and you won’t come across her again," and promised.
When the girls heard that, they didn’t react much but perfunctorily nodded before excusing themselves, seeming to be in a hurry.
Watching them leave, Sean felt regretful, but he couldn’t force them to remain right.
He didn’t know how powerful that sister was for Ruby to act like that. From what he had heard, the sister was just an influencer. More like a celebrity. What was so special about her that even his friend would advise him sincerely like that? f|re(e)web.n\ovel. (c)o.m
Since his friend knew better than him, he turned to look at him, curious about his expression. However, when he saw him in another daze again, his temples throbbed like madness.
’Pa,’ he suddenly slapped Waylon at the back of his head, making the other groan in pain and dissatisfaction as she looked at him.
"What?" Waylon asked angrily, as he looked at him.
Sean smiled slyly as he thought of how he nearly suffered a loss because of Waylon and yet the other was like that.
Waylon, seeing that familiar gaze, stepped back with wariness in his eyes.
’What is he planning again?’ he couldn’t help but wonder worriedly.
However, Sean sees Waylon trying to escape. How could he let him go?
As a result, Waylon accepted his fate as he got dragged back to the private room where the other friends were resting.
’Maybe it’s better this way. I can at least think properly without seeing her!’

Meanwhile, after leaving Sean and Waylon, Ruby found herself blushing furiously as she got teased by the twins.
"You are a goner, aren’t you?"
"Hehe, who would have thought that you would fall easily like that?"
"Aren’t you afraid that Diamond will skin you alive if she learnt of this?"
The twins, as well as Ruby, knew pretty well how adamant Diamond was when it came to early dating.
She had given Ruby a lengthy life lesson before she started school regarding this matter.
Love wasn’t something to be done hastily. It was easy to get used to and be hurt.
But who could predict what the heart could do or want?
Ruby couldn’t help but take a quick glimpse at Diamond, who was now dancing with Richard. The two of them were having so much fun, and it seemed that she was planning on keeping it that way.
Seeing that her sister was preoccupied, she looked imploringly at the twins and said, "You guys ... you aren’t allowed to tell my sister about what happened. She would definitely not let this go!" her tone pleading.
The twins both did a zipping motion as they assured her. They weren’t fools. It won’t be just Ruby bearing the brunt but all of them.
They weren’t in the mood to get scolded.
"Don’t worry, we won’t tell."
"But Ruby, you need to be careful. That Waylon guy although he seems cool, he might not ...."
