Chapter 4

"Serena, what's wrong?"

"In two days, Mr. Harrison Sr.'s boss is hosting a high-profile banquet in Silverwood City. Over a dozen of the nation's top moguls will be attending."

"My dad wants to take you and me to experience it, but it seems you still have lingering feelings for this wretched slave, don't you?"

"I'll tell my dad not to take you now, and I'll reconsider our engagement."

As she spoke, she made a move to reply to the message.

Dax snatched her phone, his eyes blazing with desire and ambition.

"Serena, I think you're absolutely right!"

"This kind of wretched slave really does need a beating! She needs to know her place!"

"Guards!"

Soon, several security guards bound my hands and hoisted me up. I exploded, "Dax! How dare you!"

"I am Serena's grandfather's boss!"

Before I could finish, my legs were pinned to the ground.

Serena glanced at the assembled employees and said, "You all praised her so much for being dutiful before. It seems you know her quite well, don't you?"

"Alright then, now start spilling her dirt!"

Dirt?

Everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Though they all wanted to curry favor with the wealthy heiress, they couldn't think of a single thing.

Seeing their hesitation, Serena publicly pulled out a wad of cash and slammed it on the reception desk.

"$10,000 for each piece of dirt, unlimited."

"Get paid on the spot!"

Under her 'power of money,' the atmosphere instantly became feverish.

A female manager, who usually called me "Aria" and even wanted to be my 'adopted sister,' was the first to jump out: "I'll go first! I've had enough of her for a long time!"

"Before, she used to boss me around like a servant just because she was the boss's wife. She often made me carry her bags, give her massages, and even feed her dog during work hours!"

"She saw I was handsome and said she wanted to make me her sugar baby. When I refused, she slapped me in front of all the employees!"

"I had it even worse! She knew my family was struggling, and my parents desperately needed surgery money. She threatened to fire me unless I became her boy toy!"

"For my parents, I tearfully accepted, but I never expected her to be a pervert! She tortured me in various ways when I was with her…"

"..."

Serena giggled, opening a live stream on her phone, pointing the camera at me. She cooed, "Please, dear netizens, tell me what you think."

"Does a person like this deserve a beating?"

The live stream comments quickly scrolled wildly.

"Absolutely!"

"We working people are already struggling enough every day. We serve the boss, and now we have to serve her, the boss's wife? Does she think we're animals?"

"She's even sexually harassing her own employees, that shameless bitch! She's not even trying to hide it anymore!"

"She's the definition of a filthy rich socialite! Can't your husband satisfy you? Are you that desperate for a man?"

Serena contentedly ended the live stream, walked over, and pinched my chin. "Do you realize your mistake?"

"Do you know what to do now?"

Ptooey!

I spit a bloody phlegm onto her face, my voice weak. "Bitch... you're finished."

"Your father, your grandfather, your entire family will fall with you... I swear it!"

"Ah!"

"That's disgusting! You bastard!"

Serena snatched a belt and, enraged, splashed coffee all over me.

"Still defiant when death is at your doorstep! I'll teach you to be defiant!"

Employees looked away, unable to bear the sight of me in my ragged, pathetic state.

Watching Serena's appreciative gaze, my lips trembled wildly. "You... you're a psycho…"

"You're a maniac…"

"Psycho?"

Serena burst into another round of mad laughter. "This is just the beginning. The real madness is yet to come."

With that, she waved her hand.

"Tonight, it's company team-building, and I'm treating everyone to sushi."

"Bring this wretched slave along too. We'll arrange the sushi on her body. A perfect way to 'utilize' her."

My mouth twitched violently. My eyes, filled with rage and disbelief, were like knives, wishing to gouge her out on the spot.

"You… you wouldn't dare?!"

Before I could finish, a sharp pain shot through the back of my head, and my consciousness plunged into darkness.
