Jiang Yue didn't look moved.
Her voice was cold, steady. "You should've thought about that before you decided to ruin someone else's life."
Sun Haoyu's face twisted. "I didn't even go through with the whole thing! I didn't add her to that clinic's list—I held back!"
Gao Tian scoffed from the side.
"Held back?" His voice was sharp with anger.
"You already destroyed her name. You posted the forum thread. You fabricated everything. You just didn't follow through with the last step because that was too far for you?"
He took a step forward, his presence towering. "Stop acting like that makes you better."
Jiang Yue's expression didn't change.
Her gaze was razor-sharp as she looked at Sun Haoyu.
Then she said, cool and clear, "But since you weren't the mastermind behind all of this, I'll be lenient."
Sun Haoyu blinked in disbelief, almost as if hope flickered in him.
