Chapter 9


    “Ouch, Mom, can you let go?” Thssa winced, leaning towards the hand that Evelyn had mped on


    her ear.


    Evelyn had been scared out of her wits, thinking that the kids had gotten lost. Still shaken, she


    channeled her fear into anger, pouring it all on Thssa.


    “You know it hurts! Do you know how worned I was? Evelyn barked at Thssa, her face red and voice


    hoarse.


    “Granny, don’t me Mom. It’s our fault. We ran off. Mom only bumped into us halfway”


    Dorian and Atticus stood by Evelyn’s legs Their little heads were raised in defense of their mom.


    Evelyn snorted, let go of Thssa’s car, and looked down at Atticus and Dorian, still sternly saying,


    “You two, no more running off! If I catch you running off again, there will be consequences!”


    Dorian hung his head, his voice was weak and helpless. I know. I’m sorry, Granny


    His remorseful look tugged at Evelyn’s heartstrings, so she forgave him. Then she coldly asked Atticus,


    “And you?”


    Atticus‘ little face was expressionless, and he still answered Evelyn, “I understand.”


    “Hmm, I’ll let you off this time” Evelyn picked up a tissue and wiped away her tears.


    Thssa said, Tll go cook, Mom, you rest a bit” She quickly headed to the kitchen.


    Her mother was right. This time was a close call, but luckily everything ended well. If there was a next


    time, she would not have been so lucky to bump into Atticus and Dorian and bring them home. If theyN?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    ran into bad guys, the consequences would be unthinkable.


    The next day, Thssa arrived at the Sinir group bright and early.


    It was her first day at work, and she wanted to make a good impression on her boss. Although it was


    only a cleaning job, the pay was high. Sixty dors a day, that was one thousand eight hundred dors


    a month!


    With a sry this high for a cleaning job, she was satisfied and treasured it.


    She had to support four children, and as long as she worked honestly and earned money with her own


    hands, she didn’t mind what kind of job it was.


    Thssa mopped the marble floor of the top floor of the building. Even though the floor was already


    bright and looked clean, she still made sure to mop it meticulously. This was the turf of the Sinir


    group’s big boss. The Sinir group was the most luxurious, top–notchpany in Starhaven.


    Naturally. as the president of the Sinir group, Lysander was a man who stood at the pinnacle, and


    only a luxurious, noble, spotless environment suited him.


    Thssa remembered these words the HR manager told her, so she mopped even harder.


    Suddenly, she heard the “ck, ck” of high heels behind her. Thssa didn’t pay it any mind, and


    just continued mopping. Suddenly, her mop was stepped on by a high heel. The heel was thin and


    high.


    Following the heel upwards, she saw ady’s long legs, a red dress, and exquisite makeup. Her eyes


    were arrogantly fixed on Thssa. It was Isabe‘


    Seeing her, Thssa’s expression turned serious. “Please move your foot!”


    Just her luck, running into this scheming woman, Isabe, here.


    Isabe looked at her and suddenly sneered. “I’m not mistaken, so it really is you. Thssa, you


    couldn’t handle the night club job, so you ran to the Sinir group to find work?”


    Such nasty words! Thssa knew she wouldn’t say anything good, and angrily yanked her mop free.


    Isabe almost fell, but she steadied herself in time. The smile on her face disappeared, and her sleek


    hair became messy from the sudden movement. Her hair fell over her face, looking like a mess. She


    red at Thssa. “Thssa, you just wait. Next time, I won’t let you off so easily


    After saying that, she flipped her hair and stalked off in her high heels.


    Thssa nced at Isabe’s retreating figure and saw her walk into the secretary’s office. What was


    going on? Did Isabe have business with the Sinir group? Why would she go to the president’s


    secretary? Thssa was just curious for a moment, then went back to mopping.


    In the secretary’s office.


    Isabe stood in front of a beautiful woman’s desk. The woman was dressed in a professional suit, her


    tight skirt disying her ample hips. Her legs were long, her waist slim, but her chest was full.


    A figure that men would love.


    Her makeup was understated, giving her an elegant andpetent look. She was Lysander’s


    secretary, Faye.


    Isabe was arrogant and spoke bluntly. “My boyfriend’spany has some problems, the money is


    running out and he needs two hundred thousand. When can you transfer it to my ount?”


    Five years ago, Isabe had a one–night stand with Thssa’s boyfriend Leopold, but Leopold didn’t


    like her at all. Faced with her clinginess, Leopold disappeared, and hadn’t shown up for five years.


    Isabe had no choice but to stick with her previous boyfriend.


    Her boyfriend’s family had some money, they were a nouveau riche family. Her boyfriend knew about


    her one–night stand with another man but didn’t kick her out. Over the years, she’d stuck with her


    boyfriend.


    Faye was typing on her keyboard. She suddenly stopped and stared at Isabe with authoritative eyes.


    “How many times have youe to me for money over the years? People need to know when to be


    content, or there will be serious consequences!”


    Faye’s gaze was intimidating. Most people would definitely be overwhelmed by her authority. But


    Isabe was shameless to the core. Plus, she had


    ‘something on Faye, so she wasn’t afraid at all.


    “You can refuse to give me the money. But the secret you asked me to keep, I can’t quarantee I can


    keep it Isabe chuckled lightly.


    “You know what? Five years ago, you asked me to keep that person a secret for you, saying she was


    dead. But she’s right there at the Sinir group. mopping the floor in front of the CEO’s office. If I step


    out now, I tell the CEO she’s the one he’s looking for, and all your ns will go down the drain” Isabe


    continued


    A hint of tension appeared on Faye’s elegant face. What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”


    “I ain’t bluffing. The woman who had a one–night stand with Mr. Sinir when he turned up out of the


    blue all those years ago, that’s my cousin Thssa. We grew up together, how could I not recognize


    her? I saw her just outside when I came in,” Isabe emphasized again. Thssa was right there by


    the CEO’s side


    Once Isabe spilled the beans, the CEO would recognize Thssa and all of Faye’s actions would be


    exposed.


    Faye clenched her fists. Tll transfer the money to your ount. Leave now!


    Isabe smiled in satisfaction “If you had cooperated earlier, wouldn’t that have been better? Don’t


    worry, we’re partners in crime. I won’t spill any secrets you don’t want me to”


    “Get out!” Faye’s face was filled with tolerance and anger.
