Jacqueline's head was pounding, and her eyes widened as she felt her cheeks grow warm. She struggled to find her
voice but couldn't utter a word.
"You..." She pointed at Lena.
Lena slapped her hand away.
Jacqueline shrieked and charged at Lena, who turned around and quickly restrained her by placing her arms behind
her back.
Kasey stood dumbfounded for a moment but then acted swiftly. While Lena held Jacqueline, Kasey slapped the
latter's cheeks.
"Enough, both of you," Lena said in her deep voice. "Jacqueline, you represent the sales department.
Don't disgrace it."

Kasey raised an eyebrow and slapped Jacqueline two more times.
"I said stop. Can't you both understand?" Lena frowned. "Are you still at it? Ms. Thompson is upstairs! Do you want
to alert her?"
Kasey struggled to stifle her laughter, her palms red from slapping Jacqueline.
"Alright, that's enough...
"I said stop!"
Kasey had almost vented all her anger when Lena finally let go of Jacqueline.
Jacqueline sobbed loudly and glared at the two of them before turning and fleeing from the crowd.
Security guards arrived to escort the onlookers out, restoring order to the place.
Only then did the atmosphere begin to calm.
Lena's expression was grave. She couldn't decide if she had taken the right side by supporting Kasey.
It was just that she couldn't stand Jacqueline's arrogant provocation of the official Mrs. Chriss. After all, Lena had
once been considered the child of a mistress, and that realization weighed heavily on her.
"Hey!" A clear voice interrupted her thoughts.
Lena turned to see Kasey calling her.
When Lena returned to her senses, she respectfully addressed her as "Madam Chriss."
"Don't call me that. It makes me sound old," Kasey said with a charming smile. "My name's Kasey. And you are..."
"Lena." Lena displayed her work badge.
"Oh, so you're Lena!" Kasey pondered for a moment and then made the connection. "Arya, the Bayers' daughter,
bought a house from you, right?"
Lena was taken aback but nodded in confirmation.

Elijah and Arya... Well, I'm not sure what their exact relationship is. Maybe cousins!"
"Elijah?" Lena was surprised.
"Yes." Kasey's expression turned serious. "He's the heartless one."
Speaking of the devil, Elijah approached from a distance, exuding an icy aura, his steps deliberate. His demeanor
was intimidating, and he was smirking mockingly.
He sneered. "Have you had your fun, Mrs. Chriss?"
Kasey rolled her eyes at him, refusing to dignify his comment.
"Are you really not concerned about my reputation, stirring up trouble at my workplace?" he taunted.
"Do you think I care about your reputation, Elijah?" Kasey scoffed. "You lost yours long ago with your shameless
actions."
His eyes flared with anger. Despite his handsome, celebrity-like appearance, his face now displayed sheer hostility.
