ALL she wanted was a better life and happiness.

Was this humiliation her price?

Leaving the hospital, Elaine hesitated, her lips pressed tightly together.

Considering a visit to Rena, she wondered if maybe Rena might show some mercy; however, there would surely be strings attached.

Deciding against it, Elaine kept a low profile.

Within a week, her physical scars began to fade, and so did the rumors.

Yet, she was aware that she had become the butt of jokes among her peers.

She pinned all blame on Cecilia and didn’t let go of her infatuation for Mark.

As she arrived at Mark’s office once again, the receptionist gave her a pitied look.

Without even checking with Mark, she said, “Mr.

Evans will not be seeing you.

Elaine tried to protest, but was cut off, “Miss Shaw, remember, Mr.

Evans has a family to think about.

Just as Elaine was about to voice her anger, a familiar face emerged from the elevator: Peter, one of Mark’s associates.

Elaine approached Peter, expressing her desire to meet Mark, believing there had been some misunderstanding about past events.

Peter, who was generally kind to most, held a bad impression about Elaine.

Observing the determined lady before him, he remarked, “Miss Shaw, pressing Mr.

Evans incessantly may overwhelm him.

While many are unaware of his temperament, I’m all too familiar.

His fury can be daunting.

With a touch of regret, Elaine responded, “That wasn’t my intention.

Peter thought that Elaine was in over her head.

Suddenly, a vehicle halted nearby, and a woman, appearing to be a housemaid, approached.

Handing over a wooden lunchbox to Peter, she swiftly moved on.

Peter, acknowledging the delivery, ascended the stairs.

Having witnessed this, Elaine surmised that the meal was intended for Mark, prompting her to dash outside.

She momentarily stopped the housemaid, who brought the meals.

Due to Mark’s fragile health, he was particular about his diet, avoiding processed foods.

Zoey, concerned for his well-being, prepared fresh meals for him daily, entrusting the housemaid with their delivery.

Seeing an opportunity, Elaine discreetly offered the housemaid a hefty sum from her purse, amounting to approximately five thousand dollars.

She proposed a monthly stipend of the same amount to the housemaid, eliciting palpable excitement from her.

The housemaid thought that merely bringing food to Mark in exchange for the money was a reasonable deal, confident in her discretion.

Meanwhile, Peter entered a room upstairs, where Mark was engrossed in paperwork.
