Jolie's entire body trembled as she listened to Daisy's words.

So, the punishment wasn't over.

They were trying to slowly break her spirit, forcing her to bow her head and yield to their will again. Clenching the phone tightly in her hand, Jolie felt a surge of cold fury rise within her.

Daisy seemed to sense her daughter's emotional shift and softened her tone, letting out a small laugh.

"Jolie, you've always been such a good, obedient child. If you admit your mistake and behave, we'll let this go. Then you can cback home. Of course, if you want to stay abroad and enjoy yourself for a while, that's fine too. We'll reinstate your accounts." A slap on one cheek, and now they were dangling a sweet reward in front of her.

But whether she got that reward depended entirely on them and her obedience.

Ha! Jolie let out a bitter laugh in her heart, one that quickly turned into self-mockery. Taking a deep breath, she said evenly, "Alright, I'll think about it." Then, without waiting for a reply, she hung up the phone.

The next moment, she hurled the phone to the floor with all her strength and collapsed onto the ground herself, staring blankly ahead, her eyes devoid of focus. Gavin watched her silently. His brow furrowed as he knelt down on one knee in front of her. Her pale face and hollow expression pierced something deep inside him.

In a low voice, he said, "Now do you understand? Everything you're doing is meaningless." Jolie's voice was hoarse as she replied, "I just need stalone." Gavin knew she needed space to process her emotions, but instead of leaving, he said, "How about finding another way to let it out? I'm sure it'll be better than what you're doing now." Jolie closed her eyes, her exhaustion palpable. "Sorry, I'm not in the mood." Ignoring her dismissal, Gavin gripped her chin lightly, forcing her to look at him.

Jolie felt her emotions teetering on the edge of control.

Jolie slapped Gavin's hand away, stood up, and walked straight into her bedroom without sparing him another glance.

Gavin's fingers flexed slightly before he straightened and left her apartment without a word.

The room fell into a heavy silence.

Silent tears slipped down her cheeks, slow and soundless.

The next morning.

Jolie stood outside Gavin's door at the crack of dawn. Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand to knock.

But before her knuckles met the door, it opened.

Gavin stood there, dressed in workout clothes, clearly ready for a morning run.

He paused when he saw her, his surprise evident for a brief moment.
