"Gilbert asked me for help, and I agreed to help him. We're just friends helping each other out. It's not as dirty as you think."
She didn't miss a chance to insult me. "If someone's heart is filthy, they see filth in everyone."
"Hadson, you can say whatever you want about me, but you can't humiliate Amber like that."
As Gilbert said this, he patted my arm, putting on a good guy act. "Apologize to Amber quickly, and don't do it again next time."
I slapped his hand away.
Apologize?
Why should I apologize?
Over the years, I apologized to her more times than she had spoken to me.
Gilbert let out a hiss after I slapped his hand as if it really hurt.
Amber's nerves jumped, and she asked anxiously, "Gilbert, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
He chuckled and said to me, "Didn't expect you to be so strong, Hadson. You look pretty skinny. It's nothing."
His words instantly infuriated Amber.
She turned and glared at me. "Hadson, why are you so petty? Gilbert was just asking you to apologize to me, why did you hit him?"
Even a fool could tell Gilbert was faking it, but Amber believed it.
It seemed I really was an outsider.
Amber suddenly said, "Hadson, I command you to apologize to Gilbert right now!"
