Exorcising the haunting tendrils of her nightmare, Millie eventually drifted into slumber.

Meanwhile, Lois emerged from the underground garage, hailed a taxi, and returned to her abode. Sheimmersed herself in a bath before dialing a number.

“Miss Rayne!” the voice on the line trembled.

“Return tomorrow.” Lois’ decree was delivered before ending the call.

Disconnecting, she closed her eyes, vowing not to let Fiona encroach upon her territory.

The following day, Fiona stood before Lois with her head bowed.

Fearful that Lois could peer into her thoughts, she maintained a facade of obedience.

Lois stirred her coffee, then lifted her gaze.

“I’ve cautioned you—he’s mine. Yet you’ve seemed to forget.”

“No, Miss Rayne. I haven’t forgotten. I’ve adhered to your scheme, delivering the desired outcome.”

“Indeed, the outcome aligns with my intentions. His determination to relinquish the past and stand bymy side. However, during this process, you’ve toyed with him wantonly, seeking intimacy. Suchbehavior wasn’t part of my instruction.”

If not for Leon’s resolute will, Lois would have shuddered to contemplate the repercussions.

Lois, seemingly fragile, possessed an indomitable spirit. Her possessions were hers to protect.

“Is it your desire to conceive, securing a lifetime of dependence upon him?” Lois approached Fiona,cup in hand.

“Miss Rayne, I apologize. It’s my transgression. His allure, his charm—it overwhelmed me.”

Kneeling, Fiona implored forgiveness. The aura emanating from Lois today was truly fearsome.

Suddenly, scalding coffee cascaded over her face.

“Abh!” writhing in agony, Fiona’s form contorted on the floor. “My face…” she moaned in distress.
