Nine Ungrateful Sisters Chapter 690
Clara's hand froze on the doorknob. 'Troublemaker? A little noise?'They had disrespected her during the only sleep she had managed to get. Then they had nearly suffocated her beneath her own blanket. Somehow, it had all become her fault.She stood there, exhausted. A full night shift lay behind her, and she had come back expecting some kind of fresh start.Instead, she felt even heavier than before. The body wore down in ways sleep could repair. The other kind of exhaustion did not.People always called feelings like this self-indulgent."They're just words.""No one touched you.""What do you have to feel bad about?"But she hadn't done anything to anyone. She had shown up, done her job, and asked for quiet during her sleeping hours. That was all.Yet people still had her name in their mouths.She considered walking back in, explaining everything, setting the record straight, and telling them exactly what had happened and why none of it was her fault.She didn't.She turn

The workers behind her could only watch and wait. If any of them left their stations to help, their own alarms would start blaring.Clara pressed her lips together. She knew walking out in the middle of her shift was on her.The team leader's voice softened when he saw her hesitate. "Look, here's what we'll do. Tell me what's wrong. Whatever I can fix, I'll fix it. Don't keep talking about resigning. This is one of the biggest factories in Silverton. The pay structure, the systems, everything here is solid."If you can't make it work here, you won't make it anywhere else either. So tell me what's going on. If I can solve it, will you at least consider staying?"The offer tugged at her. Her empty wallet pulled even harder. She had been here for less than a month. If she quit now, she would lose her performance bonus and most of the benefits package.She would receive only her base pay, and that would not be enough to cover food and rent if she had to find another place to stay."I

"Hello? What do you need?" The voice on the other end of the line was loud and upbeat.The last time Clara had heard a voice like that, it had belonged to a heavyset boss she remembered as easy to deal with. Without thinking, she made the same assumption again."Hello, is this Mr. Hubert? I'm one of your employees. I'd like to resign.""Resign?" The voice turned sharp. "That's what HR is for. Why are you calling me?"Her assumption vanished after that second sentence. Not every man with a cheerful voice was easy to deal with."My team leader told me to call you directly. My situation is urgent. I need to leave within the next couple of days. He said he doesn't have the authority to approve it."A brief silence followed. Then his voice lowered. "Why do you want to resign? Did we do something wrong?"She could not answer yes. Instead, she repeated the explanation she had prepared.His voice grew heavier. "Do you think this company is your living room? You want to go start a busin

Clara stopped herself. The team leader was not her parent, and she was not a child.Besides, what would telling him actually accomplish? At best, she might get a different dorm room, with no guarantee the next one would be any better.The factory was not large. She had seen the team leader gossiping with the others often enough.Good news stayed quiet. Everything else spread fast.Before the day was over, she would become the story everyone passed around."That woman over there. A grown adult gets pushed around in her own bunk, then runs to management.""The whole dorm's against her, and she thinks everyone else is the problem. Classic.""Switching rooms won't help. She needs a new attitude."She could already hear it.Clara reached for the simplest excuse she could think of. "Thank you for everything you've done for me. Something's come up with my family. I won't be able to stay on.""Family emergency? I can give you a few days off. Take care of what you need to, then come b

At first, Clara thought it was a prank. She thrashed and shouted beneath the blanket, struggling with all her strength. The hands pinning down all four corners never shifted, loosened, or left even the smallest opening.Then she realized it was no prank at all.Her breathing had turned shallow and uneven. The air was running out.Her mind slowed first. The world around her blurred and dimmed. Her limbs grew unbearably heavy."No. I can't die like this."Despair filled her eyes. She still had too many things left undone, too many promises she had made to herself about the future she intended to build.She had come to the factory as a temporary measure, a bridge between where she was and somewhere better. She had believed the wages would carry her through the hardest days and give her the first small foothold toward a better life.But in the weeks since, she had learned that factory work offered no clear way out. She had imagined she would still have enough energy and time to impr

"We have a plan for Diana as well. We've also picked up Irene's trail. The only one we have nothing on is Bella. She's still completely off the radar."Jason laid out the details. Most of the work had been Amara's doing, which struck him as strange.The entity inhabiting Amara's body should have had access to her thoughts and memories. Yet it seemed to know almost nothing about everything Amara had already set in motion."Good." Amara's expression softened slightly. "Start with Clara next. She's been at the factory for several days now, hasn't she? It's time she learned what the real world is like."Jason smiled. "Yes."He had orchestrated both the factory job and Elara's predatory loan. The others would have their turn soon enough."Any news on Oscar?" Amara asked."He's home. He looks completely recovered." Jason held out a photograph. It showed Oscar back at the Miller villa, looking as though nothing had ever happened.Amara studied the photo. A slow, satisfied smile spread

Sirius' energy overwhelmed Celeste, forcing her to question everything she had worked for.She had trained for years to become a grandmaster. She had believed she was exceptional.Then Sirius, stripped of his ability and dismissed for years, had spent only a few minutes under Oscar's guidance and

Irene had dozed off and dropped it.The phone was dead, so she could not make any calls.The staff members, however, did not know that. The moment she mentioned the police, they went pale. If news of this spread, it would destroy the area's reputation. Who would want to visit after hearing somethi

The moment Amara stepped out of the venue, she exuded a chilly aura. "Find out who put Rebecca Miller in that chair. Use whatever means necessary."Did anyone truly think she was calm? She had been slapped in front of that many people. She had endured it for the sake of the family. That was the onl

'How did Amara end up siding with Jason and turning on Irene?' Giana wondered.Giana nodded. "Fine. Mountain and sea it is.""Yes!"They shook on it, packed their bags in good spirits, and went to bed.Just as sleep began to take hold, Irene's eyes opened. "Wait, Giana. If we leave, what happens
