Ivanna, quickly slid on the couch, using my lap as a makeshift pillow. She seemed utterly exhausted, not caring about the unfamiliar surroundings.With a sigh, she began, "I have a servant's fate. I was born to endure hardship. Recently, everything became a mess. I’m always dealing with people, it's truly exhausting. I've had enough."She looked at me with a pitiful expression."This time, I finally had a chance to do a program properly. I’m thinking of making a notable achievement and laying the foundation for a promotion. Unexpectedly, troubles kept arising from the moment I took charge. It's not just tiring, it's downright scary. Can you believe it?"I chuckled and teased her, "Why are you scared? Let's switch places, and you can dangle from the rooftop for an interview. How about that?" Recalling the situation from before, I still felt a lingering fear. I could almost sense Atlas’s hands gripping my ankle with a hint of helplessness."By the way, I haven't had a chance to ask

Ivanna spoke while setting down her spoon. She had eaten a lot, and her face seemed to have gained a healthy flush."She's in Foswood now?" I said casually, not paying much attention to Kimberly.After finishing her meal, Ivanna comfortably laid down on the sofa. "Oh. When can I have lots of money, do nothing, and wait for good food and drink to fall from the sky? That would be so nice."I looked at her lazy posture and chuckled sarcastically, "Haha... living off others and waiting to die, isn't that against your character?"She chuckled as well, "People are fickle.""If you want this kind of life, it's simple. Forget about your so-called ideals and aspirations, marry Jared, and be a full-time housewife. Then you can lie down and wait for things to fall from the sky.”My words were meant to be a playful joke, but I noticed she fell silent as soon as I said them. I stared at her face and asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"She sighed bitterly and softly said, "

I softly comforted her, "Wait for him to finish his tasks, and then let him give you a proper explanation. There's no way for you to contact him right now, so being angry only affects you."You're not a child. Be calm, since you're prepared not to rely entirely on him. Don't make yourself look lost. Even in deep love, learning to be independent is a wise approach. That's what you advised me back then.”"Heh... I underestimated you. I forgot how you felt when you first discovered Matthew’s affair," she teased me, "Feeling ignored is terrible. Chlo, I'm a bit tired. I can't understand him. It's exhausting."Her words were undoubtedly her true feelings. Jared was indeed a person not easily understood.With her head drooping, she sighed, "I'm going. I want to go home and sleep. This damn job is truly inhumane."After saying that, she stood up and fixed her hair, still tired."Well, you go back and rest. What do you want to eat tonight?" I observed her, knowing she was in a bad mood

He walked in and said, “Chlo…”He paused, noticing the guest in my office, but then continued walking in.Melvern, who was seated on the sofa, glanced at him, smiling as he spoke, "So it's you, Mr. Arnold. Long time no see."Arnold looked at him and smiled back. "Mr. Melvern! It's been a while. You're still alive?"It was clear that they were very familiar with each other.Arnold, with his usual lack of formality, asked Melvern, "What are you doing here?""I came to talk to Ms. Chloe about something," Melvern replied, maintaining a polite demeanor and shifting in his seat.Arnold walked over confidently and took a seat on the sofa. He looked at Melvern and asked, "What business do you have with my sister? She's engaged in legitimate business, and you’re a person of questionable integrity. What legitimate business could you discuss? Stop messing around."I almost laughed when I heard what Arnold said. It looked like my younger brother was the true expert in straight talking."D

When I heard what Arnold said, I was certain that he knew what happened. It seemed I had chosen the right person to ask about this."It’s a long story, and it’s complicated because it involves many people from prominent families and even led to loss of lives. That’s why those who involved coordinated their testimonies, swiftly suppressed the incident, and have maintained a unified stance to keep it under wraps."Arnold's explanation was starting to shed light on why this incident had been suppressed."The root cause and key figure of this incident was Melvern, so the wealthy families of Foswood joined forces to attack him. The Sunny family feared further investigation and was forced to move away from Foswood under joint pressure from those families. It was to appease public outrage."As I listened to Arnold's detailed account, the gravity of the situation became apparent."But the way you describe it, it sounds like Foswood's elite turned against him. What did he do to incur the c
