However, Emelie knew that while rebellion was an option, relying too heavily on it would only entertain Troy’s friends without truly advancing her cause.

Emelie didn’t want to think about how William had intended for her to drink those shots.

Meanwhile, William had extinguished his cigarette after Emelie left. He glanced at the people who were drinking, which made the latter few ask, “What is
