Chapter 199

Felicia’s nose tingled, and the window she could only dream of in her past life seemed to open slightly with Sebastian’s words.
Though faint, the tiny sliver of light streaming through the gap was enough to give someone trapped in the darkness a glimmer of hope.
She hoped that light wouldn’t be taken away again.
She didn’t argue with his good intentions. She nodded obediently, saying, “Mm.”
While the siblings were talking, neither noticed an ear pressed against the door.
After a while, a maid quietly left and reported Sebastian’s words to Kayla.
Kayla was in the kitchen, cutting fruit. She was determined to impress with her performance to secure the shares. When Myra casually mentioned wanting orange juice, Kayla volunteered to cut the fruit and make the juice herself. Hearing the maid’s report, she angrily stabbed the knife into the cutting board!
Mina was startled and quickly warned, “Ms. Kayla, be careful with the knife. Don’t hurt yourself!”
Kayla, still seething, glared at the knife, wishing she could use it to stab Felicia repeatedly!
“They’re such close siblings! Heh! What about me?”
She furiously jabbed at the oranges she had cut, making a mess. The cutting board and the table were splattered with juice, a chaotic sight.
“Ms. Kayla, calm down. It’s only a few words from Mr. Fuller. There’s no need to get this angry!”
Kayla’s face remained cold as she threw the mashed oranges into the juicer and pressed the start button.
The buzzing sound of the juicer covered her muttered words perfectly.
“My dear brother, how could he be so ungrateful Has he forgotten I’m his sister too? He’s only just met Felicia, and he’s already protecting her like she’s his precious gem He wants to make my life miserable, huh? Heh! I’ll deal with both of you soon enough!”
After speaking coldly, she saw the juicer stop. Mina hurriedly brought over a cup.
Once the orange juice was poured out, Mina wiped her hands and cautiously spoke. “Ms. Kayla, I’ve done as you asked. But about the matter with my husband being fired…”
When Kayla went to Alverton a while
ago, the driver, Ruben Waters, had
been involved in an accident. She was upset with him and had intended to fire him. But Mina begged on his behalf, and Kayla, seeing an opportunity, asked her to eavesdrop on Felicia and
Wel
Sebastian’s conversation.
Holly, who used to follow Kayla’s orders without question, had been fired, and now there was no one obedient to her at home, making things a bit tricky.
She carried the juice out, her attitude high and mighty. “Don’t worry. As long as you continue doing as I told you, I’ll ensure Ruben isn’t fired.”
“Thank you, Ms. Kayla. Now I can rest easy…”
Mina sighed in relief. Working for the
Fuller family paid well, and aside from occasionally dealing with Kayla’s tantrums, everyone else was easy to get along with. If they
worked for a few more years.
Saynowe
could buy a house in their
hometown and enjoy a comfortable
life.
As she cleaned up the mess on the table, she called her husband. “Ruben, I’ve got good news. You don’t need to worry about being fired. I begged Ms. Kayla, and she agreed to let you keep your job!”
She expected him to be happy about the news, but instead, he immediately replied, “Who asked you to beg her? She can fire me if she has the guts. Does she think I can’t deal with her?” Ruben was confident about this.
After all, the car’s dash cam had recorded everything from that day, including how Kayla had instructed and bribed Shawn to take action against Felicia.
He sneered. “I’m not afraid of Kayla anymore. I’m hoping she tries to make trouble. If she dares to come after you or me, you can bet she’ll beg me!”
Mina, of course, didn’t believe him. She was worried he might do something reckless, so she quickly cautioned, “Kayla is spoiled and temperamental. If she throws a tantrum, just tolerate it. Don’t do anything stupid!” “I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry.”
Before hanging up, he added, “Don’t be scared. I’ve got leverage on Kayla. If she crosses the line, you just stand up to her. We won’t take any of her nonsense!”
