"Heh," Phoebe let out a cold laugh, her gaze locked on him. But when Alexander slapped her across the face, it felt like it struck not only her cheek but also her heart.

That slap shattered her last thread of composure, leaving her teetering on the edge of madness.

Was she truly going insane?

"Alex, do you think Phoebe's completely lost it?" Melissa asked mockingly.

"Shut up!" Alexander snapped, his eyes blazing with anger as he glared at her.

Startled by his fury, Melissa fell silent, though her gaze toward Phoebe turned venomous. Moments later, a sly, triumphant smile curled her lips.

She was gloating—parading her victory for all to see.

That smile pierced Phoebe like a thousand needles, deepening her hatred for Melissa. Two lives—two innocent lives—had been lost. How could Phoebe not loathe her?

Phoebe turned to Alexander, her eyes filled with cold detachment. This would be the last time she looked at him.<

However, without Alexander's orders, they dared not comply."What if I insist on leaving?""Miss, please don't make things difficult for us. If we let you go, all of us could lose our jobs.""Lose your jobs?" She wanted so badly to tell them selfishly that it wasn't her concern. Yet, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Her already slender frame now looked so fragile that it pained him deeply.He took off his coat and stepped forward to wrap it around her.

His arm froze mid-air, but then he moved closer again, determined to cover her with the coat whether she wanted it or not.This time, his familiar dominance returned. Even if she resisted, he wouldn't back down."I don't need your fake concern!" she snapped, her voice laced with frustration as she waved her arms, trying to bre
