Scars Of A Broken Bond

However, one incident at Saleel Studio stood out, where Keilani wrongfully accused Sabrina of theft. Sabrina resigned after exposing the truth. Unlike his usual apathy toward minor issues, Lance insisted that Keilani apologize to Sabrina. Alice consoled herself that Lance was just being fair.

In a huff of anger, Keilani rushed to Royce’s residence.

Royce was a father of two. His son had already moved out after marriage, and his daughter was studying overseas.

Keilani’s expression shifted, her eyes filled with dismay.

“But it wasn’t Keilani’s idea alone. I was the one who suggested it.”

Only after Alice spoke did Keilani’s anger seem to subside somewhat.

“You?” Lance was skeptical of Alice’s confession, his disbelief evident in his scoff. “And what led you to do that?”
