Clark and Gray flinched, exchanging panicked glances but daring not to intervene. Matilda remained motionless, tears streaming silently down her face as she braced herself for the storm that showed no signs of subsiding. The room was heavy with dread, the atmosphere oppressive as Master’s wrath churned like a hurricane, threatening to consume everyone in its path.Master’s rampage continued, his fury a relentless force that demanded release. His voice boomed through the room, shaking even the walls. “You!” he bellowed, jabbing a finger at Gray. “I told you to always check! How dare you neglect your duty? And Matt!” His gaze swung sharply to the figure lingering in the corner, making Matt stiffen. “When I ordered you to bring her in a few days ago, did you notice anything strange?”The accusation crackled in the air like a whip, and the three men froze under the weight of his rage. Clark’s face went pale, beads of sweat rolling down his temples as he tried to blend into the background.

The silence in the car was deafening. The air between them crackled with unspoken tension, and every passing second felt like an eternity. Jerry had never been one for awkward moments—he usually thrived on them, twisting discomfort into charm. But even he found himself unable to break the heavy stillness.Chloe sat stiffly in her seat, her eyes glued to the window as if the blur of the city streets offered some escape from the man beside her. She hated how unsettled she felt, how her outburst earlier had chipped away at the armor she’d worked so hard to maintain.“Do you always sit this straight?” Jerry finally said, his voice light with feigned curiosity. “Or is it just because you’re sitting next to me?”Chloe didn’t flinch, didn’t even turn her head. “Focus on the road, Mr Manchester,” she replied, her tone ice-cold.“Oh, I am,” he said with a grin. “I just thought maybe you’d loosen up a little now that we’ve had our little heart-to-heart back there. You know, all that yelling… fe

Chloe went out and waited by the car for Jerry, who had just left her for a few minutes while stepping out to give some orders.Chloe was thinking about how to go about this new assignment, but she knew she needed her boss. However, Liliana’s new behavior reminded her of the Liliana that employed her—cold, calculative, and most importantly, emotionally unstable. But that was what made her who she was back then. A few months after working for her, the ice queen in her surfaced, and the old her seemed like a dream of hers.After her almost-death fiasco, Liliana changed to a more rational and emotionally empathetic person. All these changes made Chloe believe her boss might have a split personality, but she decided to go with the flow.The sound of Jerry’s footsteps pulled her from her thoughts. He strolled out of the building, a self-satisfied smirk plastered across his face. “Deep in thought, huh?” he teased, his tone light and playful. “Thinking about me, darling?”Chloe rolled her ey

“Actually, boss, when I was on my way here to see you, I received—” Chloe began, but her words faltered when Lilly abruptly waved her hand, signaling her to stop.The motion was quick, almost imperious, but it was the look in Lilly’s eyes that stunned Chloe into silence. For a fleeting moment, it felt as though her boss wasn’t just looking at her—she was looking through her, like she could see into her very soul.“If you’re here about the headlines,” Lilly said sharply, her tone colder than Chloe had expected, “forget it. I have it under control.”Chloe hesitated, glancing at Jerry before responding cautiously. “Boss, if this isn’t handled soon, it could affect—”“I said leave it!” Lilly’s voice cracked like a whip, cutting Chloe off mid-sentence.The sudden outburst startled everyone in the room. Jerry, who had been lounging against a nearby wall, straightened abruptly, his easygoing smirk vanishing. He stared at his sister-in-law in stunned silence. Lilly Manchester—the Ice Queen—ne

“Young master! Young master!” The maid’s panicked voice echoed as she banged on the study door.Ray’s heart clenched. Something was wrong. Something was wrong with Lilly. Without hesitation, he bolted out of the study, leaving Jerry standing in stunned silence.“Ray!” Jerry called, but his brother didn’t stop, his footsteps echoing down the hallway as he took the stairs two at a time. Jerry cursed under his breath and followed, his mind racing. For Ray to react like this, it had to be serious—life-threatening even.By the time Jerry reached the bottom of the stairs, Ray had already disappeared toward the visitor’s bathroom after hair Lilly voice or rather her vomiting sound from the bathroom.Ray pushed the bathroom door open to find Lilly on her knees, hunched over the toilet, her body trembling as she retched. The sound of her dry heaving tore through him like a knife. He rushed to her side, his worry etched across his face.“Wifey,” he said softly, kneeling beside her and placing a
