As always, Melissa tried to defend Lola and downplay it. However, Derek was not buying it anymore. It had always been like this. Lola would bully Melissa, and Melissa would still protect her. Derek was so fed up that he had begun to loathe Lola's deceitful ways.
After all, even when he would witness Lola hurting Melissa, Lola would always deny it. It was how his friendship with Lola slowly crumbled because of Lola's "attitude" toward poor Melissa.
Derek thought Lola had finally stopped tormenting Melissa, but he was wrong. Because until now, Lola could still look for ways to torment her half-sister.
"Melissa." Derek clutched her hand on the table, looking her in the eye sincerely. "Don't worry about this injustice. She'll hear from me this time."
"Derek…"
He shook his head, cutting her off. "I can't let her do this over and over. The reason she's doing this is that you're letting her. I'm not just going to sit around while Lola bullies my fiancé."
