"..."

Cindy froze on the spot. In the past, however outrageous Trevon's behavior had been, it had always been outside the company, and he had never crossed the line on the job.

But now it seemed that love had clouded his judgment, as when he openly brought his mistress into the company and gave Annie such a prominent position.

Even if Cindy cared nothing at all about their relationship or how inseparable they were, in a personnel decision of this magnitude, with so many eyes watching, where did Trevon put the reputation of the Austen family?

What would Cindy's parents have thought if they had known this in another world?

Trevon trampled on her dignity with eagerness, tore open her deepest wounds, and forced her to face the brutal reality.

Her heart was broken.

"We might be seeing each other every day from now on, so let's hope our cooperation is a success," Annie smiled slyly and turned on her high heels, entering Trevon's office.

Cindy remained numb and did not come to her senses until Elle, the assistant, hurried to her side.

"Mrs. Gilson, are you alright?"

Cindy's face was pallid, and Elle was very worried as she reached out to touch Cindy's forehead.

Feeling the cold touch, Cindy was snapped back to reality. As she looked down at her wristwatch, she noticed the red imprint of her own fingernails on her palm.

Just now she was almost out of control. That wasn't good. Lately, she had seemed to be easily provoked into inexplicable anger, especially in the face of Trevon . . .

Perhaps she was simply too tired.

"I'm fine," she waved her hand and headed towards her office.

"The board of directors has made quite a fuss this time. What should we do?"

"We'll handle it like we always have when faced with such situations. It's not like we haven't been scolded before. If it comes to that, I have thick skin, and I'm used to it!"

Once again, the desk was piled with files of complaints, and Cindy frowned and let out a bitter laugh. "How did I, a director, become a customer service? Why are these complaint files being left for me to deal with?"

Elle pouted. "It's all because of Mr. Norris. He says all these complaints are a result of your lifestyle issues and that you should handle them yourself."

Cindy chuckled in exasperation and casually picked up one of the files. "So, the problems with the internal testing of the product are also a result of my lifestyle?"

Elle could not help bursting into laughter.

"Mrs. Gilson?"

"Yes?"

Elle hesitated and then fell silent.

Cindy looked up at her and asked, "What's the matter?"

Elle swallowed nervously, smiling warmly as she leaned closer. "Why don't you talk to Mr. Gilson? After all, you're a couple. He would not stand by and do nothing. What do you think?"

    Cindy paused for a moment, then turned around and bowed again after a while. "Thank you. I'll remember that."Her brain was indeed fragile, considering this was her second injury.The first time was when her father had an accident. She pleaded with people everywhere, but many avoided her. When desperation set in, she even resorted to blocking their cars. On one occasion, she was hit badly by a car and got over a dozen stitches on her head.Others labeled her as a madman who didn't value her life, but at that time, she had indeed risked her life to save the Austen family, and she still felt the same now.However, she always sensed that something had changed, although she couldn't quite pinpoint what.......Inside the VIP ward, dim yellow light cast a subdued ambiance as Annie lay quietly on the hospital bed, her eyes tightly shut and her face pale.Trevon sat on a nearby sofa, his eyes devoid of any emotion.His phone buzzed. He retrieved it and saw a screenshot sent by Milo.His brows

    Cindy thought that after five years of being trampled upon, she had become numb, and her self-esteem meant nothing as long as she was alive.But at this moment, she once again keenly felt that long-lost, dull pain that made her breath tremble.Her head ached, her ears rang, and her jaw felt dislocated.Cindy intended to raise her hand to touch her chin, but she found her palms were wet.She was taken aback, touched her face again, and discovered tears streaming down, no matter how much she wiped, they wouldn't dry up.The snow fell heavily, and the pitch-black sky seemed on the verge of collapse.Cindy had a thought that she had never had before in her life.She wanted a divorce.She wanted to leave the Gilson family.However, the flame of this thought only lasted a few seconds before being extinguished by another harsh reality.She felt despondent and realized that sometimes, responsibility was an invisible shackle...The news of Cindy visiting the hospital to see Annie spread like wi

    Cindy was startled and turned around, only to find her hand unknowingly pressing on the spot where Annie had slashed her wrist. Due to the external pressure, the wound burst open again, and blood gushed out.The blood stained Annie's entire hand in a horrifying manner.Before Cindy could even utter a word in shock, she was forcefully pushed to the ground, her head hitting the cabinet hard."Doctor, call a doctor!" Trevon's eyes turned bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead as he coldly shouted towards the door.Annie looked at him sorrowfully, tears streaming down her face, but she pretended to remain calm and said, "Trevon, please don't blame Ms. Austen..."After saying this, she fainted.Dumbfounded, Cindy sat on the ground, watching as the experts rushed in and swiftly pushed people away. The whole process only took a few minutes, but it felt like an eternity to Cindy.Her ears buzzed, and something sticky and wet flowed out. She instinctively reached to touch it and see what it wa

    Therefore, she took hold of Annie's hand with one hand, while the other arm wrapped around Annie's shoulder. This intimate gesture made it seem like they were close friends engaged in a casual conversation."I decided to have my husband come and take care of you first this time. After all, you have made significant contributions to the company. Both my husband and I appreciate your efforts, don't we, dear?"Cindy spoke with a smile, her slender fingers playing with her flowing hair. Suddenly, the faint marks on her neck, suggestive yet attention-grabbing, became visible.Annie's face turned pale with anger, and beads of sweat began to form on her forehead.The onlookers showed meaningful expressions, occasionally accompanied by envious comments.Trevon didn't anticipate being drawn into Cindy's performance. His eyes narrowed, his eyebrows raised, but he chose not to respond."You see, he's always like this—rigid and uncommunicative, not knowing how to care for others. So dull. How can

    "Don't underestimate yourself. I've learned so much from you in the year I've been at the company. Now I can handle projects on my own. Can you imagine? A year ago, I couldn't even speak a sentence properly," Elle said with a smile.It is indeed true. As Cindy reminisced about the first time she saw Elle, before she could even utter a single word, she saw Elle becoming nervous, blushing, and even shedding tears. This scene couldn't help but make Cindy burst into laughter.Seeing Cindy in a slightly better mood, Elle breathed a sigh of relief. They had a tough fight ahead of them. She instinctively tightened her grip on the steering wheel and said, "You're so great. Mr. Gilson will surely realize it sooner or later."Cindy remained silent, shifting her gaze to the window....At the Hospital of Islip City, several black commercial vans followed a Porsche to a stop at the entrance to the inpatient unit.The car door was opened and Cindy stepped gracefully out.The purple diamonds in her

    Cindy spent a full four hours bustling in the kitchen. Finally, she looked at the three dishes and a soup on the table and wiped the sweat off her forehead. Accidentally she tugged her wound and let out a painful "ouch."To be honest, this was her first time cooking. Before her parents passed away, she was the princess they doted on. They would even feed her water by hand.After marrying into the Gilson family, although her status couldn't compare to before, she was still the young hostess and didn't need to cook for herself.So, she had no culinary skills to speak of. Today, she used all her abilities to prepare this meal, and despite her efforts, she still ended up with several cuts on her fingers.Though it hurt, she felt a sense of accomplishment.Cindy gently blew on the wound, removed the damp band-aid, and replaced it with a dry one. She glanced at the wall clock; it was already half past seven. Trevon should be back soon.It snowed outside, accompanied by a chilling gust of win
