Chapter 1

The moment I sent the message, the other person's screen showed: [Typing...]Knowing how fiercely protective and hot-tempered my brother was, I figured he had already called security and told them to clear the place out.Instead, a long voice message popped up.I tapped 'transcribe', and I almost passed out from sheer frustration when I saw what my brother had said.[What kind of CEO romance novel have you been reading this time? You're the only daughter in our family. Where did you suddenly get a little sister from? Are you trying to use this as another excuse to quit your job? [Mom already said it. You've never had to suffer since you were little, so you need to toughen up and get some real-life experience. I'm overseas negotiating an acquisition right now, so stop running around tattling to me about every little thing!]For as long as I could remember, my complaints had never failed me. However, this time, I had somehow managed to crash and burn in front of my own brother.B

Lena was sitting in the swivel chair across from me, filing her nails.When she saw me come back, she did not even bother looking up. "Oops. My hand slipped. It's just a crappy computer. You're not seriously going to get upset about it, are you?"Looking at that smug, superior expression on her face, I almost laughed from sheer disbelief.For the longest time, I could not figure out why Lena had been targeting me from the very first day I joined the company. Then yesterday, I happened to overhear her gossiping with a few coworkers in the break room."That Chloe girl dresses like she got her clothes from a thrift store, and she can't even be bothered to put on makeup.""Do you know who personally brought her into the company on her first day? The general manager!""Who knows what kind of tricks she used to get that kind of treatment? I'm the CEO's own little sister, and even the general manager has never been that attentive to me. What makes her so special?"That was when everyth

I took a deep breath and forced myself to pull my foot back. I bent down, picked up my employee ID, and slipped it back around my neck. Then I returned to my desk.Lena and Adrian exchanged a look before bursting into laughter."I thought you had some backbone. Turns out, you'll bow your head for a paycheck this small. That's just pathetic."Lena walked over and slammed a thick stack of documents onto my desk."If you're not leaving, then get to work. Bennett wants that important client information, plus the bilingual speech for tomorrow's meeting. I want both on my desk tomorrow morning."I opened the documents, and my eyebrows immediately drew together.They were packed with highly technical industry materials.Lena could not even handle basic client communication. How did she manage to get into a company where the standards for dealing with external clients were this high?Had HR really skipped the entire hiring process just because she said, "I'm the CEO's sister"?I was f

Inside the bathroom, I leaned against the cold tile wall, my head pounding like it was about to split open and my whole body burning with fever. I was furious and humiliated, barely able to believe that I had actually been pushed this far.In my 22 years of life, when had I ever been treated this badly?They did not want me to complain?To hell with keeping a low profile!I was going to make sure everyone in this company knew exactly what had happened to me today.I pulled out my phone and created a family group chat, adding Mom, Dad, my brother, and a whole bunch of relatives.I was just about to hit the voice-message button and unload every single thing that had happened today when I suddenly heard two female coworkers gossiping in hushed voices outside by the sinks."Hey, did you hear? Lena totally embarrassed herself in the conference room today!""Serves her right! She always acts like she owns the place. She walks around with her chin practically touching the ceiling. But

"If you refuse to admit it, my brother is the president of this company. Once he gets back, I'll make sure you can't find work anywhere in this industry!"I slowly rose to my feet, a hollow smile curling at the corner of my mouth. "Sure."I looked straight at Lena and spoke each word carefully. "Since your brother is the president, why don't we call him right now and ask him exactly how he plans to make sure I can't work in this industry?"Lena's face stiffened as her eyes darted away."Who do you think you are? My brother is incredibly busy. He's overseas negotiating a multibillion-dollar deal. Do you seriously think you're important enough to hear his voice?"I tugged at the corner of my mouth and took a step toward her. "A multibillion-dollar deal? Funny. I also heard the president is overseas negotiating an acquisition."I stared directly into her eyes, lowering my voice. "But the president's last name is Jones, and yours is Rogers. So, tell me, which father did you get this

I was locked in the underground warehouse for an entire night. There was no water, and no one brought me any food.At 8:00 am the next day, the steel door finally opened. Adrian stood outside, covering his nose as he looked at me with obvious disgust."Chloe, have you come to your senses yet? Are you signing or not?"I braced myself against the wall and slowly pushed myself to my feet. My vision went black for a moment, and my legs were so weak I could barely stand.Still, I gritted my teeth and glared at him."No. I didn't do it, and I wouldn't sign it if I were dying.""Pretty stubborn." Adrian gave a humorless laugh and tossed a filthy cleaning uniform at my feet."If you refuse to sign, then don't blame me for giving you some real work. The cleaner called in sick today, so all twelve bathrooms on the first through third floors are your responsibility. You don't get off until they're all clean."I said nothing. I picked up the uniform and pulled it on.Fine. Let them enjo

By 5:00 pm that day, the entire company was in chaos.The head of the partner company stormed into the office with a team of lawyers, threatening to take us straight to court if the company did not pay the ten-million-dollar penalty by the end of the day.Bennett tore into Adrian and Lena in his office."I don't care what you have to do. Just make sure Mr. White calms down! If anything happens to this company, both of you are fired!"The moment Adrian stepped out of Bennett's office, he was sweating bullets. "Lena, what are we going to do? Mr. White is notorious for being impossible to deal with. How are we supposed to calm him down?"Lena's eyes shifted, and a vicious smile slowly appeared on her face. "Isn't Mr. White a womanizer? And don't we happen to have a perfect scapegoat right here?"Adrian froze for a second. Then, his eyes lit up. "You mean... Chloe?""This whole mess was caused by her anyway. Have her spend dinner with Mr. White tonight and apologize to him in person

I struggled with everything I had. The liquor went down the wrong pipe, and I broke into a violent coughing fit. A scorching pain spread from my stomach through my entire body, like thousands of needles stabbing me from the inside."Hold her down! Don't let her spit it out!" Adrian shouted excitedly from the side.Lena held up her phone, recording me as she laughed so hard her shoulders shook. "Chloe, look at you now! Aren't you usually so proud? Don't you look down on me? Look at you now, just like a slave!"Half the bottle of liquor was forced down my throat.The bodyguards finally let go. I collapsed onto the carpet, clutching my stomach as waves of pain tore through it.Adrian gave an icy laugh and pulled out the forged confession and a box of red ink paste. He tossed both onto the floor in front of me."Enough. Look at you. You're barely alive, and even Mr. White has lost interest. Sign it, stamp your fingerprint on it, and we'll call it a day."Lena walked over and planted

Lena's raised hand froze in midair. "... Eric Jones?"Her lips trembled, and her legs began to shake.As a fake heiress who had spent months swaggering around the company and deceiving everyone, how could she not know what that name meant?Eric Jones was the real man in control of Jones Group. Rumor had it that he was ruthless, decisive, and absolutely not someone anyone in the business world dared to cross.Adrian was even worse. He collapsed onto the couch, his face completely white."M-Mr. Jones!"Eric did not spare those clowns another glance. He strode over and carefully lifted me into his arms."Chloe..." His normally steady voice trembled slightly.I rested against his warm chest, and the last thread holding me together finally snapped. "Eric..."I opened my mouth, but my throat was so raw that I could barely make a sound. Tears rolled down my cheeks. "They... wouldn't let me complain… They forced me to drink... They were going to break my legs..."Eric looked at the
