?Chapter 1439:


    Caitlin noticed several people d in servant uniforms and instantly understood Beth’s intention.


    Beth meant to humiliate her, stripping her down to the status of a mere servant.


    Beth kept up her relentless mockery.


    “What? Didn’t you say you’d do anything to stay? Don’t worry. I won’t make things too hard for you. Just do your job as a servant properly. And don’t take it as an insult. Being a servant in my family isn’t a privilege just anyone gets.”


    Caitlin clenched her fists tightly and said,


    “Fine. I’ll do it, but only for a limited time. How about three months?”


    That was the longest Caitlin could endure.


    If she had to live under someone’s heel for the rest of her life, she would rather leave.


    Beth naturally didn’t want to agree, but she knew if she pushed too hard, Caitlin might refuse or do something reckless.


    She didn’t want things to get that messy.


    Essentially, this was Caitlin’s fault. Wouldn’t it be easier if Caitlin just walked away?


    Caitlin’s insistence on not leaving the city baffled her.


    Beth sneered, “Do you think you’re in any position to negotiate? I have no intention of keeping you around forever. You’re nothing but an eyesore.”


    Caitlin drew in a deep breath, steadying herself. “Fine. I agree. When do I start?”


    Beth’s eyes gleamed as a thought crossed her mind, and a smirk tugged at her lips.


    “Since you weren’t hired through the standard procedure, enjoying the same benefits as other employees might seem unfair to them. So, here’s the deal. I will handle your sry and when you get some days off as I see fit.”


    Caitlin’s eyes widened. “That’s too much!”


    “Too much?” Bethughed mockingly as if she’d just heard the most absurd joke. “Compared to what you’ve done, this hardly even counts as unreasonable. And let me rify something. It’s toote to regret now. Either you obey me, or I will let the whole Burmoos know that youe between me and yton. And when that happens, not even Kallie could protect you. After all, everyone knows about my engagement to yton. Nobody would risk crossing the Fletcher and Morgan families to help you. Even Kallie might distance herself from you.”


    Beth’s words were carefully crafted to intimidate Caitlin.


    ???€$? ￠????€?$ ?? g??l??ov?l????o??


    In truth, she wasn’t sure about the rtionship between Caitlin and Kallie. Kallie had stood up for Caitlin to confront her at the party that day.


    Still, here was Caitlin, struggling to find work and living in such misery.


    It appeared the only palpable exnation was that Kallie’s kindness toward Caitlin was just for show.


    In Beth’s eyes, Kallie’s kindness toward Caitlin was merely for show—a performance to keep the world’s judgment at bay. At least this way, Kallie wouldn’t be criticized.


    However, this had merely been Beth’s wild guess. That was why she purposely made Caitlin serve as her servant. If Kallie and Caitlin were truly as close as they seemed, then no matter how hard she tried to send Caitlin away, Kallie would inevitably find a way to bring Caitlin back.
