No Memory No Mercy novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74 

Aria’s face was full of frustration “Of course, it was because she came looking for trouble! I wasn’t even planning to deal with her, but then she and her little sidekick started showing off in front of me.” 

“What exactly did she say to show oft?” I asked. 

The more I pressed, the more uncomfortable Alicia looked. 

She knew perfectly well–Aria was impulsive. Say the right thing to provoke her, and she’d snap without thinking twice, too fired up to defend herself properly. But with me here, there was no way I was letting that happen. 

“Forget it. I don’t want to make this worse,” Alicia suddenly said, stepping forward. The red handprint on her face stood out starkly, and her eyes were rimmed with tears, painting the perfect picture of victimhood. 

“Elise, I know you’ve never liked me, but this has nothing to do with you. Please don’t get involved — it’ll just make things harder for Jonathan.” 

I raised a brow. “Oh? Now you’re saying it has nothing to do with me? Because just a few minutes ago, you were swearing up and down that Aria attacked you for my sake.” 

Alicia’s eves thickered, then she shifted tactics. “I just want all this to blow over. Why are you so caught up in every little thing I say? You know deep down why Aria did it. And I’m already trying to be the bigger person—why keep pushing this?” 

Right. And now I was the one being aggressive. 

1 kept my voice calm. “You’re making yourself out to be the picture of grace under pressure. So, of course, I have to help you clear things up, right? It’s only fair that we find out exactly what happened.” 

Aria finally caught on to what I was doing and jumped in. “Yeah, why don’t you tell everyone why I really went after you?” 

Alicia’s expression shifted again, a flash of guilt flickering across her face. But she straightened up and said righteously, “It doesn’t matter what was said. Violence is never the answer. I didn’t want to make a scene, that’s why I kept quiet,” 

Then she took it a step further, voice dripping with moral high ground. “If we really want to get technical, Aria is at fault. But I didn’t want anyone thinking I was using my status to bully her.”
