The world spun for Marian. A searing heat blossomed on her cheek, followed by a throbbing ache that defied logic. It took a moment for her stunned mind to register the source of the pain – a stinging imprint of five fingers on her pale skin. The sound of the slap echoed in the opulent room, a stark counterpoint to the stunned silence that followed. Marian blinked back tears of humiliation, her vision blurring at the edges. Her perfectly manicured hand flew to her cheek, the pristine red a stark contrast to the cool ivory of her expensive pearls. Time seemed to warp and distort; the air crackled with a tension thicker than the plush carpet beneath her feet. This wasn't a mere slap. It was a public declaration of war, a shattering of the facade of civility they'd maintained for so long. And in that stunned daze, Marian realized with a chilling certainty – the gloves were off.What happened? Did Eva slap her just now?The moment Marian came to her senses, she screamed ferociously and ch

The mention of the term "sugar daddy" instantly veered Blake's attention away from the pressing matter at hand.With a sour expression etched on his face, he confrontationally questioned Jayson, "Why do you feel entitled to intervene in a matter that solely involves Eva and me? What connection do you have with her, and why do you believe you have the authority to defend her?"Jayson, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor, offered his explanation, his expression unwavering. "I possess the jurisdiction to act because Eva is an esteemed employee of World Group. As the CEO, it is incumbent upon me to safeguard the well-being of all those employed under our organization, regardless of the circumstances."Blake's voice dripped with skepticism as he mocked, "So, you're going to such lengths simply because she happens to be your employee?
