The more Be thought about it, the more anxious she became. She immediately opened WhatsApp and sent Sean a message. As soon as she hit send, the message failed to send. He had blocked her. Since he had blocked her on WhatsApp, he likely also blocked her number. Hence, she didn''t try again and surrendered herself to fate, hoping Sean wouldn''t hold a grudge and expose her secret. A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. She stood up and opened it to find the helper Lia found for her. The name on the paperwork was Cara Liddell, so Be addressed her as Cara.


    At first nce, Cara seemed like a capable and lively middle-aged woman. She quickly got to work preparing breakfast, and after Be and Lia finished eating, she began cleaning the house.


    Cara''s cooking was excellent, and she made well-bnced meals. She appeared to be a certified nutritionist and had worked as a helper for over a decade. Be was content with her, so there was nothing toin about. After Be''s resignation, Ethan would call her asionally to check in, but they slowly lost contact since their paths were different now.


    In the CEO''s office of Miller Corporation, Dominic examined the documents in his hands with deep concentration while his subordinate stood a few steps away nervously.


    After a lengthy pause, he signed his name, ensured everything was in order, and returned the documents to the subordinate. "You can go."Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    The subordinate nodded, slowly turned, and exited the office with relief.


    Dominic had been particrly irritabletely, and thepany had undergone a significant restructuring. Many ckers had been dismissed, and those who remained were on edge, fearful of making a mistake.


    Since Leonard had business


    dealings with Miller Corporation, he often dropped by. He didn''t have the habit of knocking and would


    causally barge in. He threw a


    contract on Dominic''s desk and said, "Take a look and sign it."


    Dominic didn''t even look at it and signed it without hesitation. "Done."


    When Leonard noticed his cold and indifferent demeanor, he couldn''t help butment, "I''m not even working as hard as you, yet I already feel like I have no freedom and am tired But here you are, appearing to be used to it.


    "By the way, a pawnshop recently called the Sawyer family to inform us that the ne we previously purchased had been pawned. My mom gifted that ne to Be. Is she short on money?"


    For the first time, Dominic''s face showed a little bit of emotion. "What does she need money for? It''s probably Simon causing trouble for her again."


    Leonard was puzzled by his answer. "That can''t be right. I spoke with tia, and she didn''t mention that. I believe Be has boundaries and wouldn''t let Simon persuade her to sell the ne."  en


    "Don''t mention her name in front of me!" Dominic grew annoyed.


    Upon seeing his irritation, Leonard pursed his lips and dropped the subject. "Fine. I''m leaving, then."


    After he left, Dominic lost focus on doing any work. He slumped back in his chair and picked up his phone to make a call. "How is Betely? Is she short on money?"


    The person on the other end hesitated. "I''m not sure. You instructed me not to follow up on her anymore, so I stopped checking her situation a while back."


    Dominic furrowed his brows and instructed, "Find out what''s going on with her ande back to me within 20 minutes!"
