Chapter: 114

Upon seeing Abby humble herself and plead for her forgiveness, Ivy clenched her fists and thought, ‘Rachel is just a pathetic woman who has been abandoned. She's divorced, useless, and incapable of doing anything. She's even far beneath me now. How in the world did she get such a loyal dog?’

"No way. I'll tell the people in the head office everything. Neither you or your beloved Miss Bennet will get away with this," Ivy said through gritted teeth.

Tears ran down Abby's cheeks as she murmured in a trembling voice,

“Please, Ivy, I beg you! As long as you keep Miss Bennet out of this,

I'll do anything you ask of me."

Impatience flashed across Ivy's face. She then shook off Abby's hand and said, “Fine, then kneel down and beg me for forgiveness!"

Caught off-guard, Abby stumbled backwards. Her eyes widened as she staggered back a few steps.

Just when she was about to fall down, someone help her arm and kept her steady. When she turned her head to see who her savior was,

Abby's eyes welled up with tears.

“Miss Bennet..."

Rachel glanced at Abby, letting go of her arm after making sure that she was okay now.

As tears rolled down Abby's cheeks, she cried, “I'm sorry, Miss Bennet. I messed up!"

"It's not your fault." The moment Rachel came out of the elevator, she heard the conversation between Ivy and Abby. She immediately gleaned what had happened. After saying that, Rachel turned to Ivy; her eyes looked calm, but they showed a hint of unbridled anger.

When Ivy looked back at Rachel, her heart started racing. She felt an indescribable fear, surging in her heart.

"Rachel, why are you looking at me like that? I asked you to deliver the documents here, and yes they were brought here, but they were ruined by coffee stains. Do you think you can intimidate me by looking at me like that? If the managers of the head office find out about this, you'll be in big trouble!" Ivy straightened herself, raising her voice.

Rachel glanced at the documents on the ground and noticed that the coffee stains had dried out.

"Miss Bennet, this is my fault. I'm willing to take responsibility for what happened. Ivy has promised me earlier that as long as..."

Abby pursed her lips and continued, “As long as I kneel down and apologize, she won't hold you accountable. Don't worry, ma'am. Ivy has guaranteed that she'll keep you out of this."

After saying that, Abby took a step forward, ready to kneel down.

Rachel's eyes gleamed all of a sudden. She then once again grabbed Abby's arm to prevent her from getting on her knees.

Ivy sneered, “I've changed my mind. Even if you get on your knees and beg me for forgiveness, I won't let Rachel off the hook. Just give up!"

Upon hearing that, Abby's face turned paler.

“How could you break your promise, Ivy?"

"So what if I break my promise? Is there anything you can do about it?" The way Ivy said those words were filled with disdain and malice.

Ever since Rachel showed up, she hadn't said much. She held Abby's arm, and felt that Abby was clearly trembling. She then cast Abby a glance, and only then did she see that her clothes had coffee stains too; even more stained than the documents. Abby's clothes were soaked, and due to how thin the fabric was, she could see her bare skin turned red after getting burned by the piping hot coffee.
