Her ? She probably never leaves her hometown ! Even Jackson smirked slightly , shaking his head .
Saras eyes narrowed with satisfaction .
My mistake ! I shouldve asked which market has the cheapest vegetables or which toilet cleaner works best ! More laughter erupted .
She turned away smugly , starting another story .
I slowly clenched my fists .
Something inside me burned .
Must be the alcohol , I thought .
Why else would such juvenile taunts get under my skin ? Ive been there .
My voice cut through the noise , calm but firm .
The laughter died instantly .
Sara turned , momentarily startled , before sneering , What ? Ive been to Azora .
Surprise flickered across her face before she recovered , voice dripping contempt .
No need to pretend .
If you havent been , just admit it ! Lying only makes you look pathetic .
Im not lying .
Oh really ? She crossed her arms , chin lifted .
Then tell us , where exactly ? The coastal cities ? The tourist spots ? I met her gaze steadily .
The Nyara Republic .
The room went silent .
… Nyara ? someone echoed uncertainly .
She must be drunk , another laughed nervously , making up stories ! The fire inside me blazed hotter .
I wasnt alone there there were countless others .
Journalists , peacekeepers , aid workers … Were we all not normal people ? I swept my gaze across the table , each word deliberate : Not only have I been there , I lived there for a year .
Ive witnessed resource wars , worked in epidemic treatment centers , distributed aid with UN workers .

Stunned silence fell .
They stared at me , dumbfounded .

And the sacred rocks of the Southern Isles ? Closed to climbers since 2019.
My lips curled into a slight smile .
Sara , lying is risky .
Its so easy to get caught .
Her face drained of color .
Confused glances darted around the table .
Sara leapt to her feet , voice rising shrilly : Shes just some orphan nobody how could she have been to such places ? Shes the liar ! I rested my chin on my hand , smiling faintly .
Then show us your photos .
Youve been everywhere ; surely you took pictures ? Her composure crumbled .
I … I … Dont tell me you have none ? She turned to Jackson , nearly crying .
Jackson ! Whats wrong with your fiancée ?! This was supposed to be my welcome party ! How can you let her attack me like this ? Fine ! If Im so unwelcome , Ill leave ! She made a show of wiping her eyes before storming out .
Chaos erupted .
Others urged Jackson , Go after her ! Its late what if something happens ? 17:42
