Chapter 145

In that heated moment, Cheryl's anger toward Celena boiled over. It was all because of her. Why did she have to return? Without Celena, Cheryl wouldn't have been humiliated in front of the entire Stone family and the company's top brass, their laughter echoing in her ears.

Celena was the root of it all, the one to blame for Cheryl's disgrace.

Unable to contain her fury any longer, Cheryl, her face contorted with rage, stormed toward Celena in a clatter of high heels. She swung her hand high and roared, "Celena!"
