Marguente quickly let go looking down to see a band of purple bruising around Jocelyn’s wrist
“Don’t worry about the water. Let me help you with these wounds first”
Without waiting for a response. Marguente gently pushed Jocelyn onto the couch and sat down beside her
The smell of the ointment was sharp and distinct. Marguerite warmed some in her hands, then began to gently apply it to Jocelyn’s arm, “Maam your injuries lock predy severe fil do what I can, but we should really take you to the hospital”
Jocelyns voice was barely above a whisper “Tm not going. These are just minor injuries. I’m used to it”
Marguere looked at her in disbelief. “You are used to it? Did Mr Powell hurt you?”

Marguente fet a pang in her heart. “Why didn’t you tell Mr. Powell? Wouldn’t he protect you if he saw Lisette hitting you?”
Jocelyn sighed, her face expressionless, but Marguente could feel her grievance
The Winston family was a matnarchy and the family business was established with the help of Lisette’s family Before Mau But now that Lisette has Maunce to back her up. Powell tums a blind eye to everything she does to me.”

Marguente couldn’t help but feel bitter as she continued to apply the ointment to Jocelyn’s wounds.
So that was why Jocelyn had insisted on her divorcing Frederick. With the Winston family’s fortune built on Lisette’s family, Powell would naturally favor his wife
Lisette and their son Maurice
presence was only causing tension between Powell and Frederick. If Frederick lost to Maurice at this time, not only would he fall from grace, but Jocelyn’s

This spartment was something I saved up for after I returned to the Winston family Every time I’m mistreated, Ie here Thats why I always kop medication here today, I realized that all the medicine was expired I cant go to the hospital because Lisette has people there. So, had to bother
Sorguente looked at Jocelyn with sympathy asking “Does Fredeck know about this?”
As soon as Marquente mandoned him, Jocelyn’s usually calm face showed a flicker of emotion. The doesn’t know. And you must not thin W Maunu hesply focused on work I cant distract him”
