Marcia looked up at Claire. "Did she ever bring the child back for a follow-up?"Claire shook her head. "No, she didn't! My boyfriend said she looked at the child like she wanted to kill him!"Marcia chuckled softly, deciding not to dwell on the topic. They chatted on about various things, and Claire mentioned she was getting married soon. Marcia was genuinely happy for her.Before they knew it, the café was almost empty, and Marcia realized with a start that it was nearly midnight. They had downed more coffee than they'd planned, and the conversation had only become more animated."Why don't you stay at my place tonight?" Claire said, grabbing Marcia's arm and pouting. "I don't want to say goodbye yet!"Marcia thought about it. She wasn't sure she was ready to face Elijah anyway, so she nodded and smiled. "Since I don't have anywhere else to go tonight, I'll take you up on that offer!"The two walked hand in hand down the quiet street, now mostly deserted due to the late hour."So, C

"Good morning, sir!"Elijah stood close by, yet his voice seemed to drift over from a distance, carrying an icy, chilling tone. "Booth, weren't you supposed to conduct an on-site inspection at Calderstones? Why haven't you left yet?"Calderstones? Marcia couldn't help but glance at Elijah in surprise. Inspections were usually the responsibility of the marketing or planning departments—what business would Human Resources have there?Booth broke out in a cold sweat. "Sir, I... I'll head out immediately!"Elijah said indifferently, "Make sure to check every inch thoroughly. If I find even a single mistake..."Booth instinctively straightened. "Yes, sir!" He then hurriedly exited.Marcia looked at Elijah uneasily. "I'm sorry, sir, I'm late.""Late?" Elijah sneered, his tone dripping with disdain. "You might as well not have come at all."Flustered, Marcia stammered, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to be late."Elijah's cold gaze ran over her disheveled hair and slightly wrinkled dress, and he

Marcia continued, "You're publicly declaring your intent to abandon this poor child. Do you realize that's a criminal offense?"Some of the women in the crowd, holding their children, couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward. "Yes, it's despicable! If you call the police, I'll testify for you!" said one."I will too!" another chimed in.More people started to gather, all glaring at Dinah.Flustered, Dinah swallowed hard and snapped, "This is a family matter—why do you care? Call the police if you want!" She pointed at Marcia angrily. "And you! You pushed me! I can report you for assault, too!"Marcia gave her a cold look. "Framing me now? Go ahead, call them!"One bystander shouted, "We didn't see her hit you! You call the cops, lady; we'll testify on her behalf!""Yes, we'll be witnesses; she didn't lay a finger on you!"Dinah's face turned pale with anger, and she glared at Marcia, her whole body trembling.Kate, meanwhile, stood off to the side, clutching her child, too st

Elijah entered with Kevin and a few unfamiliar men, all around forty, exuding an air of nobility. Even Gordon, who had previously been looking down his nose at others, turned pale upon seeing them, suddenly feeling weak in the knees.Marcia, unsure of what was happening, felt a surge of strength after hearing Elijah's words.She struggled to her feet, meeting his gaze as he gave her an approving smile and spoke softly, "Good, Patricia. Today, I have only one thing to say: when you're bullied, fight back."Though his tone was calm and even, it sent a shiver through everyone in the precinct."Release her!" Elijah's gaze was icy, like a messenger from hell.Someone swallowed nervously, hands trembling as they hurried over to free Marcia.Marcia rubbed her arm, took a deep breath, and, to everyone's surprise, gave Elijah a small smile before limping over to Dinah and slapping her hard in the face.Dinah tried to fight back, but a burly man appeared out of nowhere and held her in place.Ke

"Sir...""Call me by my name."Marcia was overwhelmed by Elijah's predatory gaze, her voice barely a whisper. "This isn't right."Elijah let out a dark chuckle. "Want to switch positions? You prefer being on top?""No, that's not it." Marcia pushed at him, feeling the alarming heat radiating from his body. "Aren't you getting married soon?""And?" Elijah's tone turned cold, a chill creeping into his gaze.Marcia's eyelashes fluttered nervously as his intense gaze closed in on her.The man holding her, with his long frame and refined, almost aloof features, seemed unruffled on the surface, but beneath that calm, his eyes hinted at a dark, inescapable allure.Faced with such a man, Marcia felt her heart sink, a painful tightness building in her chest, and her vision blurred with unbidden tears."Sir, please let me go. I don't want this," she said, her voice thick with emotion. Seeing Elijah's expression darken, she took a shaky breath and continued, "You don't even like me. Please, don'
