Simon looked at the girl, his blue eyes flashing behind his gold-framed glasses.
He adjusted his glasses before saying, "Miss Qiao, forgive me for being blunt. That person seems to have a grudge against you. And it's no small grudge. He came after you from the beginning!"
"Oh?" Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and scrutinized his expression as if trying to determine whether he was lying.
Simon straightened his back and allowed her to look. His heart was calm, and his gaze did not waver. "At this point, there's no need for me to lie to you.
"That person gave me the feeling that he came for you. To put it bluntly, even if he didn't have the Empress' backing, he'd most likely have found trouble with you."
He paused before continuing, "As for why he's looking for trouble with you… I don't know… Only Miss Qiao can think about how you've offended this person."
Qiao Nian put down her legs and said casually, "I've offended many people. I don't know which one you're talking about."
