NovelEnglishChapter 270:
“I'm off to see Fred.”
She paused but didn’t turn around. “He's in trouble online because of me, and now those men in black have
shown up at his dorm. | can’t just do nothing while he’s at risk.”
Then, she resumed her stride down the stairs.
Kristopher frowned and quickly caught up, grabbing her wrist in a few quick steps. “You're going to see him? It's
past ten at night, and you're heading to a men’s dorm to rescue him?”
“What other choice do | have?”
Belinda glared, turning to look coldly at his hand gripping her wrist. “Am | supposed to let those men in black
take him away? He has no connections or influence in Nawrin, just his college friends and professors, not even
family. If those people...”
Belinda stopped, struggling to voice the worst possibilities. “He exposed the organized cyberbullying against me
online as a birthday gift, seeking justice for me. Should I simply allow him to face retaliation?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKristopher’s brows knitted together, his voice dropping. “Even if he faces retaliation, it's because he stepped out
of line!”
A person without any support challenged Cathy, who was well-connected within Nawrin’s elite circles. Didn't he
think about the potential backlash before he acted?
“He indeed stepped out of line.”
Belinda sharply pulled her wrist away from his grip. “But who hasn't made impulsive decisions when they were
young? If | had always stayed in my place and thought about the consequences three years ago, | never would
have married you!”
With that, she turned and headed toward the eighth floor.
In the past, whenever Belinda faced trouble during her studies, it was Joyce who supported her. Joyce had always
said that she couldn't stand by idly if it involved Belinda. Now, with Fred being targeted because of her, how
could she just stand by and let him be captured and harmed?

Kristopher was persistent and caught up to Belinda once more, grabbing her wrist. But before he could say
anything, his phone rang. It was Cathy calling.
Holding Belinda’s wrist with one hand, he answered the call with the other.
“Kristopher!”
Cathy's voice cthrough the phone, filled with sobs. “Where have you gone? | was just looking at
engagement rings online and sent Jessa to find you, but she toldyou'd left...”
Cathy sounded deeply upset. “Do you regret agreeing to our engagement?”
“Cathy.”
Kristopher, who had been harshly scolding Belinda just moments ago, softened his tone markedly. “I went
downstairs for a moment.” His voice was gentle, a stark contrast to anything Belinda had heard before. “Pick the
engagement ring. Choose whatever you like, and later we can try them all on at the store.”
Hearing his words, Cathy's spirits lifted noticeably, even over the phone. “Indeed, it's always best to try on rings
at a physical store to see how they fit. Kristopher, your thoughtfulness is unparalleled!”
Her delighted voice resonated clearly through the dimly lit corridor. Meanwhile, Belinda frowned, attempting to
break free from Kristopher’s grasp on her arm. However, he was prepared this time, gripping her firmly despite
her efforts to escape.
