Vera didn’t want to trouble Caleb. But then she thought about Mr. Lincoln, about Uncle Zimmer, who had sold her out, and about the threats Mr. Lincoln had made after she injured him. A slight shiver ran down her spine. She was certain—there was no way that man would just let this go. Caleb clearly noticed something was off. Before he could ask, Vera lifted her head and said, “I’d appreciate it if you could take me home.” “Alright,” Caleb replied, his furrowed brows relaxing slightly. She didn’t have to say anything. It didn’t matter. He would keep an eye on her over the next few days, just to make sure she stayed safe. *When they arrived at her place, the sight at the entrance made Caleb’s expression darken. The floor and the door were covered in red spray paint, filled with vulgar insults—words like *whore* and *slut* scrawled across the surface. His jaw tightened. This wasn’t something he could ignore. He turned to Vera. “Who did you piss off recently?

Simply put, they were a bunch of grown men who didn’t know how to do housework. Vera was momentarily stunned. She hadn’t thought about this at all. But this was a big issue. Housing and meals were the workers’ top concerns. She couldn’t promise them accommodations, only for them to arrive and find that the dorms were unlivable. “Keep them calm for now. I’ll figure out a solution for the cleaning,” she told Stanley, her mind racing for a practical plan. Cleaning itself wasn’t the problem. She could easily hire a cleaning crew to take care of it. But that would be too expensive—not worth the cost. A single cleaner cost a few hundred per day. If she hired multiple, she would be spending over a thousand. That kind of money would be better spent elsewhere. “If I do it myself, at least I can make sure it’s done properly,” she thought. Her eyes lit up with the realization. Without wasting a second, she rushed home to gather supplies. By the time she arrived

It was almost the end of the month. Every month, Vera had to pay for her father’s hospital stay and medical expenses. Before heading out, Vera checked her bank account balance. Previously, Nash had transferred a million to her account. A large portion had gone toward purchasing materials, while the rest had been allocated to workers' wages and other expenses. Surprisingly, after accounting for everything, she still had $300,000 left. Adding in her own savings, she had $350,000 in total. Seeing the balance, Vera could hardly believe it. Then, she realized—Nash must have anticipated this situation from the start. Thinking about it that way, she felt she had gained a deeper understanding of the man behind York Corporation. People always spoke about Nash’s ruthless business tactics, but no one seemed to realize how meticulous he truly was. Letting out a quiet sigh, she pushed aside the thought. She had already owed too many favors. With that, she composed hers

Ever since she had met Caleb, he had already done too much for her. She owed him more than she could ever repay. And if he got hurt today because of her, she wouldn’t know how to make it up to him. But Caleb could see exactly how dangerous the situation was. If he walked away now and left her to face this alone—what kind of person would that make him? That was something he could never do. Without hesitation, he lunged at the two men, fighting them head-on. Vera watched, her heart pounding in fear. Just as things were about to spiral further out of control, the blaring sirens of a police car filled the air. A group of heavily armed officers stepped out. “Freeze! Hands where we can see them!” The two men instantly panicked and tried to escape. But after ramming their car into Vera’s, both vehicles were too damaged to drive. Without a way to flee, they were quickly subdued and arrested by the police. Vera and Caleb were also taken to the station t

Vera hated herself for being so greedy. Wanting a late-night snack was bad enough, but being too lazy to change clothes? That was a whole new level of humiliating. “Wait,” Caleb called after her. “I’m a little hungry too. I was just about to make some late-night snacks. Why don’t you change and join me? Or, if you’d rather not, I can leave the food outside your door.” “I’ll change and be right back,” Vera blurted out, mortified at the thought of making him bring food to her room. She rushed back to her room, changed at record speed, checked herself in the mirror, and even splashed her face with cold water to make sure the redness was gone before heading out. By the time she walked into the living room, Caleb had already finished making the food. The rich aroma of a hearty stew filled the air, making Vera take a deep breath, savoring the scent. “This smells amazing. You’re a really good cook.” “It’s mostly the seasoning that smells good,” Caleb replied casuall
