Chapter 22

A woman stood close to the door as she watched closely. When she saw that the doorknob stopped

jiggling after a while, she smiled proudly and made a phone call to report on the matter. “Miss Amelia,

everything is going as planned. Charmine can’t get out.”

“Good work. Keep watching, and make sure she doesn’t come out,” came Amelia’s sly reply.

Once the call ended, the woman sat on her chair, cross-legged.

never gain the fame she craved.

laughed by the netizens was both entertaining and relieving.

family group chat. The person had a black image as the profile picture, nicknamed ‘Boss Jordan’.
