No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 558

Conrad had a point in bringing this up, I could tell.

His gaze darkened as he looked at me. "Ernest shouldn't have rushed to confront Brown like that. He should've looked into his background first."

I got what he was saying, but I couldn't help but scoff. "So, what? Just because Brown's got some clout, I should just sit back and take harassment? Suffer in silence?"

Conrad stumbled over my question, "Felicia, that's not what I meant."

"Conrad, I don't think Ernest did anything wrong. Brown had it coming," I said, standing my ground.

A hint of resignation flashed in Conrad's eyes. "I mean, there could've been another way, without making things this reactive and putting you in danger."

He paused briefly, "Felicia, I'm not trying to attack Ernest here, just stating facts."

I didn't want to assume the worst of him. "What's done is done. There's no point in talking about it now. Besides, Brown was clearly targeting me. If Ernest hadn't done anything, it would've only emboldened him."

Brown had caused trouble at the party hosted by the two influential families in town, clearly not caring about their status.

"Now his fans are the ones causing trouble," Conrad glanced at the man not too far from us. "Felicia, you need to be careful everywhere now. Staying here isn't safe."

It seemed that way.

I knew what Conrad was getting at; he probably wanted me to stay at a hotel with him.

Since I had donated blood to him and Ernest had misunderstood and broken up with me, staying with Conrad would only make things messier.

Even though I felt no guilt, I didn't need to worry about what Ernest thought now, but I still wouldn't stay with Conrad.

Missing Jefferson's game would be regrettable, but if something happened to me, winning the prize wouldn't bring him any joy.

"I'll think about it," I didn't outright refuse.

Conrad looked at me, hesitating as if he wanted to persuade me further, but eventually, he said nothing.

He knew it was pointless to argue about something I clearly didn't want to do.

Recalling my conversation with Ernest, "Brown targeting me this time, it's because of Ernest, and Jefferson too, right?"

Conrad nodded slightly, my heart tightened, "So, Ernest and Jefferson could both be in danger?"
