    “No! Wait—please…” Lorraine panicked, her face going pale. “I was wrong! I swear I won’t do it again!”


    “Oh? Scared now?” Christina said with a mocking smile.


    Lorraine blurted out, “I was wrong, okay? Please don’t tell Kurt. I swear I’ll behave from now on.”


    Christina didn’t buy a word of it. If Lorraine had ever had the intention to change, she would’ve made that decision long ago.


    “Let me make one thing crystal clear,” Christina said, her voice icy. “I don’t waste my time dealing with people like you. But if I wanted to? Taking you down—along with your whole family—would be way too easy.” She leaned in, her tone turning lethal. “This is yourst warning. Don’t mess with me. You won’t win. And if you don’t want your entire family caught in the fallout, stop scheming against me. What goes around,es around.”


    Lorraine barely registered the threat. She was too focused on getting out of this in one piece. “Y-Yeah, I get it, I was wrong. Just let me go,” she choked out.


    Christina shoved her off and said coldly, “Get out.”


    Lorraine nodded frantically, stumbling toward the door.


    “Wait.” Christina’s voice made Lorraine freeze on the spot.


    Lorraine didn’t want to turn around—but fear made her do it anyway.


    “Take your lipstick back,” Christina said tly, tossing it at Lorraine’s feet.


    Lorraine clenched her jaw in embarrassment. Still, after a brief pause, she bent down, picked the lipstick up from the floor, and kept her head low. She silently swore that she’d get her revenge.


    “Greed will eat you alive. If your ability can’t back up your ambition, it’ll be the thing that destroys you,” Christina’s voice was quiet but deadly cold.

    “I understand,” Lorraine muttered, not daring to look back. But her eyes burned with hatred. One day, she swore, she’d make Christina pay for this humiliation. Clenching her fists, Lorraine stormed off.


    In the living room, Celine noticed the red mark across Lorraine’s cheek and asked, “Lorraine, what happened to your face? Did someone hit you?”


    “No. No one hit me,” Lorraine muttered, her eyes welling up. “I just identally hurt myself.”


    “Really?” Celine arched an eyebrow, giving Lorraine a searching look, clearly unconvinced by the aggrieved expression stered across Lorraine’s face.


    “Yeah. Who in the Miller estate would even bully me?” Lorraine forced a smile, though it only made her look more aggrieved than before.


    Lorraine had initially nned to im that Christina had pped her without good reason, but the memory of Kurt’s warning held her back. If she went down that road, she’d be forced to exin why she’d snuck into Christina’s guest room in the first ce. No matter how she tried to spin the story, no one would buy it. Getting herself cklisted from the Miller family just wasn’t worth the risk.


    “Alright, if anyone gives you trouble, youe straight to me. I’ll stand up for you,” Celine said.
