Ansel tumed to Janice and said Sternly, “His Highness has already shown leniency in this case. If you keep this up, even you might be thrown into prison p>
Janice was a pampered noble bemess. She was utterly unprepared for such a harsh scene.
In an instant, she began trembling uncontrollably, looking utterly helpless and pitiful,
Unwilling to trouble her further, Ansel followed Xander into the residence
The gates of Xander’s residence slammed shut, leaving Janice standing utterly alone outside, her eyes brimming with resentment and helplessness
After what seemed like an eternity, she finally got up and left.
Though the world was wide, she had nowhere left to go.
With her father imprisoned and the Beckham family estate seized, she found herself without even a place to stay
Tears streamed down Janice’s face as she stared at the pitch–black sky. Suddenly, she thought of Athena.
Janice thought, have to find Athena.

Yet for Janice, it was nothing short of a living hell.
