Chapter 414


    “Shut up,


    all of you! Get out!”


    Emmett, seemingly in a frenzy, grabbed a bottle of Merlot from the rack, and started guzzling it down.


    He hated himself for not drinking enough earlier, for keeping a shred of sanity.


    He couldn’t understand what made him any less than Elio? How could he possibly lose to him?


    ra, in a state of disarray, bolted out of Emmett’s room and hurried back to her own quarters. As she


    burst through the door, her friend Rose was taken aback. Her clothes were torn, her hair a wild mess.


    “What the… What happened to you? Did you run into a wall again?”


    “No…” ra didn’t feel like talking. She marched straight to her bed, dove under the covers, sealing


    herself off. She clenched her fists, her tears streaming down her face.


    She didn’t want anyone to see her crying and didn’t want anyone’s pity.


    ‘What’s going on with you?” Rose, worried, prodded her a bit, “Don’t hide under the covers, or you’ll


    suffocate; you could faint!”


    “I don’t need your concern. I’m fine; I’ll be fine in a bit.”


    Hearing ra’s voice, Rose reached out to pull back her covers, You’re crying. I can hear it. Can’t you


    just talk to me about it? I promise, I won’t tell a soul, not the butler, not anyone. Not a word!”


    ra turned her back to her.


    Despite the covers being pulled away, she still didn’t want to face anyone, “I’m fine. Just go about your


    business.”


    “But you’re crying!”


    “1… I just… I just miss home a bit, that’s all. You don’t need to worry about me, I’ll be fine in a bit.”

    “Nonsense! Missing home wouldn’t cause this! You’ve clearly been bullied!” Rose held her hand, “Don’t


    be afraid, if it’s the butler, we can confront hint! We’re here to work, not to be ves, We have our


    rights too and we can’t just let him abuse or insult us! Come, let’s go find him. If he doesn’t give you a


    satisfactory answer, I’ll quit with you. I can’t stand this ce any longer!” Rose didn’t think the butler


    was such a tyrant before. Since ra started working there, he seemed to have changed.


    He was absolutely despicable!


    “Stop, Rose! It’s not the butler…” ra wiped her tears, and sat up in bed, “Don’t confront him. I’m


    really okay.”


    “If it’s not the butler, then it must be the young master!” Rose looked at her sympathetically, quickly


    helping her wipe her tears, “I don’t know what happened between you two, but him bullying a woman


    like this is uncalled for. If you can’t take it anymore, just quit.”


    ra shook her head, “I can’t leave now, and he won’t let me go.”


    “He won’t let you go?” Rose looked confused, “If a bull doesn’t want to drink, can you force its head


    down? Can’t I quit a job I don’t want anymore?”


    “I’m different from you, I…” ra opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, she closed it without a


    word.


    After a while, she continued, “You’re free here, but I’m not! But I guess I won’t be in the Melendez


    household for much longer.”
