Chapter 1

Daniel Shaw paused for a beat, then let out a short, disbelieving laugh. “Honey, it’s not April Fools’ Day.”“Cut it out. This isn’t funny.”I forced down the anger rising in my chest. “Sophia Blake, that new intern...”“Alright, I’ve got a meeting to prep for,” Daniel cut in. “We’ll talk after I’m done.”He hung up before I could finish.The dead hum on the line filled my ears, and all I could see was my sister’s tear-streaked face from a week ago.She had grabbed my hand, crying. “Do you have someone named Sophia Blake joining your company?”I rarely involved myself in day-to-day operations. Daniel handled everything, so I shook my head, confused. “I’m not sure. Why? Do you know her?”She nodded, visibly shaken. “She’s my roommate.”“Can you talk to… to Daniel? Ask him to cancel her offer?”My heart skipped. “Sophia Blake… is she the one who’s been bullying you?”On graduation day, I’d driven to pick her up. That was when I noticed the cigarette burns on her arm.I’d been furious. It

My vision went red.Watching my sister lower herself like that, serving Sophia, snapped the last thread of restraint I had.I tried calling Daniel. No answer.His assistant. Nothing.The secretary. Still nothing.“Floor it,” I told the driver.The words had barely left my mouth when a sharp scream came through the livestream.Sophia kicked Lily in the face again and again. “Did everything I taught you go in one ear and out the other?“You pressing this hard on purpose? Trying to hurt me?”Tears pooled in my sister’s eyes, but she didn’t dare let them fall.She bit her lip and shook her head. “I’m sorry, Sophia. I was wrong. I’ll adjust the pressure.“Please don’t be mad, okay?”Her submissiveness only made Sophia angrier.“Who are you crying for?“Are you saying I’m wrong to yell at you?“And since when do you get to call me Sophia?“You’re an employee. How dare you call the boss’s wife by her name?”She stood and slapped Lily across the forehead.Caught off guard, my sister fell backw

Lily flinched uncontrollably, fear written all over her face. Just watching her like that made my chest tighten.Once all the employees had crowded into the office, Sophia scooped up a ladle of water and splashed it straight onto my sister’s face.People exchanged uneasy glances. A flicker of panic passed through the room.Then, from the crowd, a former secretary who had worked under me for two years started clapping. “That’s Mrs. Shaw! That’s our boss’s wife!”Others quickly followed, eager to flatter. “Rules make order. I support this!”Sophia let out a cold laugh and shot my sister a sharp look.“What are you standing there for?“Start reading.”She hung the decibel meter around my sister’s neck. “If you go over ten decibels, you get a ladle of water.”Lily nodded quickly, lifting the contract, only for Sophia to press it back down.“And if anyone says they didn’t hear you clearly, that’s five ladles.”She paused, thinking. “Where did this water come from?”“The restroom,” someone a

I didn’t know how long the call had been over, but the questions in my mind only kept growing.By the time I reached the building, even the short wait for the elevator felt unbearable.The doors opened.The receptionist froze when she saw me. “M-Ms. Carter? You’re back early?”I didn’t even slow down. I turned the corner and went straight into the office.Sophia had my sister by the collar and slapped her hard across the face.“You think you can call the police?“Got a death wish?”Lily looked helpless. “It wasn’t me. I swear, it wasn’t.”Sophia raised her hand again.This time, I caught her wrist mid-swing.“Sophia Blake?”Before she could react, my hand struck her face.Hard.Her delicate skin didn’t stand a chance. The swelling appeared instantly, a trace of blood forming at the corner of her mouth.Lily stared at me in shock. “Sis...”“Who the hell are you?” Sophia snapped. “You dare hit me? Do you even know who I am?”“Someone get in here! Now!”Ignoring her, I helped my sister to

Chapter 5

Ignoring Daniel’s shouting behind me, I half-carried Lily out of the building.On the way to the hospital, she finally broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.“Evelyn… I’m sorry. I made you worry.”Her words cut into me like a dull blade, over and over, the pain spreading through my chest like something gnawing its way outward.“Lily, this isn’t your fault. It’s mine.”That was when I finally learned why she hadn’t dared to fight back.Sophia had told her that Daniel was planning to take over my company and leave me bankrupt and ruined.“As long as you behave, I can talk to my husband. Maybe I’ll convince him to spare your sister.”I pulled Lily into a tight embrace. “I’ve been in business long enough. Do you really think I’d let him take me down like that?”“It’s going to be fine.”I said it calmly, but the ache in my chest didn’t go away.Being betrayed by someone I trusted for years… it would be a lie to say it didn’t hurt.And yet, beneath that pain, there was something else.Relief.S

Chapter 6

Laura’s face drained of color. Her hand froze midair.“What did you just say?”Sophia scoffed. “Are you dreaming in broad daylight?”“Laura works for my husband. If anyone fires her, it should be him.”“Who do you think you are?”Laura visibly relaxed after hearing that, her confidence returning.“Ms. Carter? No… Evelyn Carter.“What right do you have to fire me?“Do you need me to remind you that you’re nothing now?”I smiled faintly. “Laura, don’t jump to conclusions.”“If I remember correctly, a week ago you secretly sold my company’s bid to Daniel at a lower price.“Leaking company secrets is a criminal offense. You do know that, right?”Her face flushed red. “You and Daniel are family. That doesn’t count!”“You can explain that to the police.“I never make a move without preparation.”Before long, the police arrived and took Laura into custody.Even as she was being led away, she shouted back, “I didn’t do anything illegal!”“You’re framing me!”Once she was gone, Sophia looked no

Chapter 7

I shut the door without hesitation, cutting off their furious shouting.Not long after, the police came again.I showed them the footage from the livestream that day.That wasn’t all. Lily also brought in several witnesses, her former roommates from school.That was when I learned the truth.Sophia and Daniel had already been involved back then.“In school, she always claimed she was Daniel’s wife and used that to control us,” one of them said.Every one of those girls had been bullied by Sophia to some degree.None as badly as Lily.And the reason she targeted Lily so relentlessly was simple.Because Lily was my sister.As the investigation went deeper, the police uncovered something else.Sophia was a thief.When they laid the evidence out in front of me, I was stunned.“These were all recovered from her home,” the officer said.“Designer bags, shoes, watches.“We traced the serial numbers back to you.”I froze.I rushed to check my walk-in closet.Every single item had been swapped

Chapter 8

I stared at him, unable to believe he could say something like that so calmly.When I didn’t respond, he suddenly pulled me into a tight embrace.“Evelyn, I’ve been through everything, and now I realize you’re the only one who’s ever been good to me.“I know you still love me.“Let’s get married again, okay?“Give me another chance.”He held me so tightly I could barely breathe.Finally, security arrived and dragged him away.He kept shouting, “Evelyn! I know I was wrong!”“Please, just forgive me!“Let’s get married again. We’ll have a baby!”Even after he was gone, my heart was still racing.Later, I found out that Daniel hadn’t just gone bankrupt.He was buried in debt.Creditors hounded him relentlessly.But where would he get the money now?I thought he’d be consumed by that pressure.Instead, he fixated on me.Every day, he waited outside my office.Every day, he showed up with flowers, dropping to one knee the moment he saw me.Some employees who didn’t know the truth thought it
