Chapter 580


    No sooner had the words left her lips than Brielle advanced, shoving her forcefully toward the sink.


    Alivia’s face drained of color from the pain, her whole being trapped In a mix of shock and fear, “Brielle!


    What do you think you’re doing?!”


    Brielle had trained in Taekwondo and was a ck belt no less. Even with an injured hand, it didn’t stop


    her from exerting force. Using her uninjured hand, she pressed Alivia’s head under the faucet and


    turned on the cold tap. The shock of the cold water made Alivia want to scream, her mind filled with


    nothing but astonishment.


    “Thanks, Ms. Alivia, for washing my hands. Tit for tat, I’m just returning the favor with a hair wash- no


    thanks needed.”


    Alivia struggled furiously, but all her efforts were as futile as throwing stones into the ocean. She was


    the youngest head of research, a spoileddy of the Barnes family. Everyone else treated her with the


    utmost respect, and here was Brielle, daring to manhandle her into a sink.


    This damn bitch!


    No matter how angry she was, she couldn’t break free from Brielle’s grip. The cold was biting. In this


    weather, having her head doused in cold water leeched away all her strength.


    Before slowly letting go, Brielle cranked the water to full st, ensuring Alivia’s entire head was


    submerged. Her wrist was still bleeding, the blood spreading in the water with a rusty taint.


    “Ms. Alivia, an eye for an eye. How’s that for a refreshing winter hair wash?” Brielle’s tone was


    infuriatingly nonchnt. Releasing her grip, Brielle left promptly, avoiding any further madness from


    Alivia.


    The hallway had other servants. Alivia wouldn’t dare chase after her, not wanting to tarnish her image


    as the Barnes family’s treasured jewel.


    “Ah!” Alivia’s rage echoed from inside. Even in this furious state, she was concerned about being seen


    in such disarray, so she was both restrained and resentful.


    She red at Brielle’s retreating back. Her fingertips curled so tightly that her nails nearly pierced her


    skin. She had never hated someone so much, wishing they would just disappear.


    She was determined to make Brielle pay the price! What right did this charity home upstart have to


    compare herself to her?


    Alivia sneezed, her lips turning a pale shade of purple from the chill. She wrapped her arms around


    herself, grinding her teeth in anger, tasting the metallic tang of blood.


    After leaving, Brielle received a message from Max, indicating he would be dyed and suggesting


    she head back home. With her wrist in that condition, she couldn’t meet him anyway, so after sending a


    reply, she hailed a cab and headed for the hospital.


    The same doctor who had bandaged her earlier frowned upon seeing her return, especially since the


    bandage was gone and the wound appeared waterlogged. “Young people these

    days… don’t you care about your bodies at all? Didn’t your boyfriend see you were hurt?” the doctor


    chastised while rewrapping Brielle’s wrist.


    Brielle winced, relieved to see the stitches were still intact.


    “You must be careful not to get tetanus. That can be deadly,” the doctor warned.


    “Sure, thanks, Doctor,” Brielle responded, feeling utterly drained.


    Noticing the weariness in her eyes, the doctor offered some unsolicited advice. “Did you have a fight


    with your boyfriend?”


    “No, we’re just both really busy, and his family… they don’t exactly warm up to me.”


    That was putting it mildly. They detested her.

    The doctor’s expression softened with sympathy, unable to resist a little gossip. “I have a colleague


    who had the same problem with her inws. They made her life miserable, and eventually, the love


    she had for her husband faded. They divorcedst year. Marriage isn’t just about two people; it’s about


    two families. If they don’t like you now and you can’t resolve the issues, it’s better to break up sooner


    than sufferter.”


    After the doctor’s words and a sigh, Brielle stood up slow


    Aks.” With that, she grabbed


    her purse and left.


    The doctor shook her head, turning to a nurse, “Did I say something wrong?”


    “No, but sometimes the young need to fall in love and get hurt to appreciate old wisdom.”


    Everyone knew that love without blessing was destined for hardship.
