Butler Matt's Office.Butler Matt stepped into his office. Behind him, a man wearing glasses followed calmly.His gaze was flat yet carried a polite warmth. He curved his lips into a faint smile when his eyes landed on Kylie. Kylie returned the gesture. She knew the man-she had seen him often in the back house-but they had never spoken directly. Brown had once been in the same room with him, and that was enough for her to remember.Kylie straightened in her seat when Butler Matt settled in across from her. She had already wiped the corners of her eyes. Luckily, there had been a short pause before Butler Matt entered, after Assistant Brown had left. That gave her enough time to steady her breathing.The man in glasses took a seat at a desk in the corner and busied himself, as if he had always belonged there. Butler Matt's piercing stare forced Kylie's full attention. His expression was unreadable. Though not as cold as Brown, Butler Matt kept an impenetrable wall around himself-an invi

Brown sat silently on the sofa, listening as Livia recounted what had happened in front of the mall earlier that afternoon. When Damian had allowed him inside, the young master merely pointed at the sofa without a word. So Brown didn't dare approach, choosing instead to sit quietly and listen.Mr. Alexander leaned back, while Miss Livia rested against his chest, her arms wrapped around him. From her lips, the story began to flow."It all happened so quickly," Livia whispered, reliving the fear as she thought back. "I was looking at photos on my phone. Then I looked up, wondering where the people beside me had gone. They had already stood and backed away. All I saw were a few overturned chairs. And then came the screams."Her voice faltered as panic washed over her again, just as it had then."Don't force yourself to relive it if it frightens you," Damian murmured, brushing a tear from the corner of her eye. For some reason, tears kept falling despite her best efforts. "I'm sorry... I

Brown's pupils trembled, but he didn't answer. Instead, his eyes flicked toward the bed-checking to make sure Livia hadn't heard.'Sorry to disappoint you, but I heard everything,' Livia thought, peeking out through a tiny gap in the blanket."I made a mistake, sir. You can punish me however you want."Damian's anger spiked the moment he heard that his wife had been hurt. He'd already vented his fury on Brown earlier at the office-after all, Brown was the one who had brought Kylie into this mess. It was his mistake, and he had to bear the consequences.But because of his promise to Livia-made while she wept in his arms-Damian had softened. He decided only to confine Jenny and Sophia to their rooms for a week. As for Brown, he didn't care what punishment awaited him. The matter had been settled.Or so he thought. But now the man standing before him had changed everything."Tch. Do you like her that much?" Damian repeated the question that had gone unanswered earlier. Or maybe Brown sim

Kylie's homecoming would've been a joyful event if only they didn't know the truth behind her situation. Her younger siblings were over the moon, chattering nonstop about their lives over the past few years and sharing all the crazy plans they wanted to do with their older sister-who, according to the rumors, was currently unemployed."Hey, I'm not unemployed! I'm job hunting. I don't have time to play with you guys!"But her protests fell on deaf ears. Her two siblings ignored her words and dragged her out of the house anyway. Their innocent energy, so blissfully unaware of her struggles, made her forget for a moment just how pitiful her situation really was. Losing her job for the second time, ending her relationship-if you could even call it that. Maybe the right word was dumped.That was how Kylie passed her days-distracting herself, trying to forget. But at night, when she was alone under the covers, the fragments of yesterday flooded back into her head. The image of Brown's back

The elevator doors slid open. A man was standing inside, giving them a curt nod when their eyes met."You're here already?" His words were short, as always. He never looked like he enjoyed anyone's company. Kylie and Reegan stepped out of the elevator."Don't mind the chief secretary. You know how he is," Reegan whispered into Kylie's ear. "He's the same even with me. Though, to be fair, ever since he got married, he's mellowed out a little." He chuckled quietly-until the secretary cut in."How far are you planning to escort her?"The secretary's tone was sharp.'Damn, he noticed. Guess I'm not needed here anymore.'"Alright, sir, I'll head off." Reegan gave Kylie one last look. "Keep your head up."Kylie clenched her fists and mouthed a silent thank you before watching him leave. Once again, Reegan could only watch her fading figure as she walked away.The secretary didn't say another word. But when they stopped in front of the president's office, he finally turned, signaling his sta
