"I warned you that your questionable behaviour would lead to trouble, didn't I? And now, here you are, hiding in my house like a frightened dog.""Listen, I don't plan on staying here for an extended period. I just need some time to clear the air, and then I'll remove myself from your life," Lyra calmly explained to her sister, who seemed to constantly criticize her every move.Lyra's life had been tumultuous ever since she was a child. She was constantly shuffled between different foster care homes, never finding stability or luck with the people she encountered. It wouldn't be fair to solely blame these individuals, as Lyra couldn't exactly be labelled as one of the well-behaved children, unlike her older sister, Aria.Lyra and her sister were taken into state custody after their mother's descent into drug addiction following their father's passing. The perilous environment created by their mother's drug use became a threat to their well-being, prompting a concerned neighbour to rep

Perry’s mind was thrown into chaos when she discovered the deceitful and infuriating trick that Betty had just played on her.

Despite having a crucial meeting that she couldn’t afford to miss, she wished she had made the effort to come earlier, but now it was too late.After leaving the house and heading straight to the hospital, she received the distressing news. Driving to the office filled with anger, she couldn’t help but replay the conversation she had with the doctor in her mind. With each replay, her anger grew exponentially, and she felt an intense desire to strangle Betty the moment she laid eyes on her.*****“I checked with her to make sure you were informed about the cremation, and she confirmed it. That’s why I didn’t feel the need to call you before proceeding with the cremation.” The doctor’s words echoed in her mind as she drove***** And she vividly recalled the moment she erupted in anger,

"What just happened? I heard she physically confronted you," Philip inquired, escorting his mother back to her office. Frustration welled up within him as he pleaded, "Come on, Mom, speak up. I can't simply overlook this."Betty proposed, "Let's allow the situation to settle down. Pretend as if nothing occurred." However, Philip disagreed, unwilling to support that idea."Are you to blame, Mother? That would be the only reason you wouldn't want to pursue legal action against them. And besides..." Philip's words were interrupted by Betty."Legal action, huh?" Betty interrupted, raising a questioning eyebrow. "You want to take legal action against the same individuals who spared you after you nearly sabotaged their wedding? You want to confront the people who will soon hold authority over this company, with the ability to evict us?" She paused momentarily, walked over to the small refrigerator in her office, retrieved a bottle of water, and slowly drank it down.Philip struggled to find

I take full responsibility for the fact that you were unable to speak with the Chairman upon his arrival, and Philip shamelessly exploited that opportunity," Perry expressed with sincere remorse as she listened to the account of what had transpired during the meeting.Alonso remained motionless within his managerial office, reflecting upon the course of the meeting and contemplating the extent of the falsehoods Philip must have concocted about him, which undoubtedly influenced the Chairman's perception. The ramifications of this deceit must have been significant, causing considerable damage.Following the incident involving Betty and Perry, Alonso escorted Perry to a secluded location outside the office, providing solace and comfort. It was a pivotal moment for Perry, where her emotions overflowed, and tears streamed down her face. Even during his previous persona as Orlando, Alonso had never witnessed Perry cry to such an extent as she did at that moment.

As Lyra entered the interview room, she found herself in a well-lit space with shiny tiled floors and cream-coloured walls adorned with abstract paintings. The room was spacious, with a large table positioned in the centre, surrounded by comfortable leather chairs. The table was cluttered with stacks of paper, pens, and a laptop. The air carried a sense of tension, almost palpable, as Lyra's nerves heightened at the sight of the seven interviewers sitting around the table. Each interviewer wore a professional attire, and their stern and serious expressions sent a wave of apprehension through Lyra. However, her sister's husband, Jacob, who was one of the interviewers, managed to break the tense atmosphere with a warm smile. His presence reassured her momentarily, providing a flicker of hope that she could make it through the interview successfully. Summoning all her courage, Lyra cautiously walked across the room, her footsteps echoing softly against the floor. She made her way to the

Lyra walked with Jacob to the exit, her heart pounding with disappointment and frustration. She feared and believed she had been rejected for the job she desperately wanted. As she reached the sidewalk, she pulled out her phone and saw the dreaded notification. It was from the law firm, and she knew it held the disappointing news she had anticipated. Too nervous to read the email herself, Lyra handed the phone over to Jacob, the only one she could count on at the moment who had accompanied her to the interview for moral support. Jacob's face fell as he scanned the contents of the email, and Lyra could see the disappointment reflected in his eyes. She snatched the phone back from him, her hands trembling with anger and hurt. Her eyes scanned the email, her heart sinking further with each word. It began with an apology, which did little to console her. Then, the email listed the reasons for her rejection—lack of experience, absence of a bachelor's degree, and the audacious mention of h
