Laura Jones paused for two seconds when William Wilson mentioned Selim, but she didn’t hide anything from William and nodded:

"Well, we had a little misunderstanding, so I sent her back to her own place."

She’s not the type to badmouth people behind their backs, so since she’d sent Selim away, she didn’t want to bring up her matters anymore.

Therefore, she only told William that they had a small misunderstanding, but she didn’t intend to elaborate on the specifics with him.

William knew her thoughts and didn’t insist on knowing the details.

But that didn’t mean he was happy to see someone maliciously slandering his little girl in front of him, so he unhesitatingly "betrayed" Selim and said:

"She said you kicked her out and she’s penniless, forced to sleep on the streets tonight."

He watched as Laura’s expression changed dramatically, her pretty little face clearly showing anger.

"Did she really say that?"

William nodded without hesitation, a joking smile playing on his lips—

"Laura Jones, are you really this harsh to your good friends?"

Laura was fuming; she hadn’t expected Selim to stoop so low as to blame her maliciously before leaving.

She had kindly taken her in for so long, provided her with food and drink, didn’t hold her accountable for destroying her million-dollar sofa, even helped book her a flight and hotel before leaving, and this is how she repaid her.

Saying bad things about her in front of the idol she valued the most?

Laura was furious; she’d never encountered something that made her this angry in her life.

Her face was flushed red, this time with anger.

Judging by her demeanor, she was clearly quite upset by Selim.

She seemed to want to curse, but her good upbringing held her back from saying any profane words.

It was William who was amused by her appearance. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

He raised his hand and gently ruffled her hair, gazing at her face with a gentle smile, and said:

"Have you now realized the evil in people’s hearts? Still think your brother is worrying about you for nothing?"

Laura thought William would believe Selim’s words, after all, he was her brother’s classmate but didn’t know her very well.

Encountering someone like Selim, who was malicious and impure, a few random words and you might really believe her.

Seeing William’s gentle eyes and smiling face as he looked at her, the words he said brought joy to Laura’s heart.

"You don’t believe Selim’s words?"

"I only believe my Laura; that friend of yours is just a stranger to me, why would I believe her?"

Recalling Selim’s ugly face when she was slandering people, his face showed a few unabashedly disdainful expressions.

"I know my Laura is a good girl."

His tone was filled with adoration, which Laura didn’t notice, but the trust in his words made her bend over with happiness.

In the next second, Laura angrily took out her phone and opened the ticket booking app.

William seemed to have guessed what she wanted to do but asked curiously:

"What are you doing?"

Laura, while canceling the hotel and flight bookings she had previously made for Selim on the app interface, replied to William:

"Since she said I made her sleep on the streets, I can’t bear this accusation for no reason, so I’ll make it true for her."

With a few system notifications, the hotel and flight bookings were all canceled.
