Ella smiled faintly. \u201cI know Bethany. Yvonne, do you remember that stepsister of mine we used to bully when we were kids?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yvonne\u2019s tears stopped abruptly. She sniffled. \u201cDon\u2019t tell me Bethany is your stepsister?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella nodded. \u201cIt\u2019s her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yvonne never would have imagined that the girl they used to lock in the attic, the one they constantly mocked, was now her boss. Her sense of injustice intensified.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cElla, doesn\u2019t your stepmom own that company? One word from her and Bethany would be gone!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella sighed. \u201cYvonne, you don\u2019t understand. My stepmom arranged a marriage for her. I don\u2019t know exactly which family she\u2019s marrying into, but it\u2019s definitely nothing impressive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mom only let her into the company out of pity. Otherwise, how could my sister have gotten in on her own merit?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore this, she was clinging to my fiance as his secretary, trying to seduce him. Thankfully, my fiance wasn\u2019t interested in\u00a0<\/p>\n
her\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hatred flashed in Yvonne\u2019s eyes. So Bethany really was that shameless and was now trying to use this chance to kick Yvonne out of the company?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yvonne clenched her fists. \u201cTomorrow, I\u2019m going to the office to confront her!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBe careful. Don\u2019t go head\u2013to\u2013head with her. I\u2019m sorry, Yvonne, but this is all I can do to help.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ella\u2019s words sounded supportive, but in reality, she\u2019d done nothing except create another enemy for Bethany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yvonne was her classmate, sure, but they weren\u2019t close enough for Ella to actually stick her neck out for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back when the Suttons were prosperous, she might have helped. But now that they\u2019d fallen on hard times, there was no way Yvonne would.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Bethany came home from work, she found a bouquet of roses in the living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jane smiled at her. \u201cMrs. Brennan, Mr. Brennan bought these for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany wondered why Silas would buy her flowers. She leaned closer, her fingers pulling out the card. After she read it, her\u00a0<\/p>\n
ears turned bright red.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry. I got carried away last night. I\u2019ll be more careful next time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her mind flashed back to the night before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas had made it into a game, insisting she count how many times he did it. He\u2019d set arbitrary rules and then broken them just to torment her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u2019d shouted herself hoarse. In the end, no matter what Silas said, she refused to count anymore. Yet now, he had the nerve to apologize like this?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just thinking about how the florist and Jane might have seen this card made Bethany\u2019s cheeks burn. She tore the card to\u00a0<\/p>\n
shreds and threw it in the trash.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jane watched her retreating figure in confusion. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? Does she not like red roses?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas had just finished an online meeting. When he came out, Jane informed him that Bethany was home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He headed to her room and knocked, but no one answered. He tried the handle and found the door locked from the inside. He\u00a0<\/p>\n

shook his head and returned to the living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid she see the flowers?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jane replied, \u201cShe did. Mrs. Brennan seemed really angry after reading your card.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas frowned. The card? He seemed to realize something and pulled out his phone to message Bethany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany lay on her bed, ready to die of embarrassment at the thought of Jane seeing that card. Just then, her phone buzzed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was a message from Silas. \u201cI handwrote the card. No one else handled it. Only you and I have seen it.\u201d Bethany pressed her lips together, not quite believing him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
