Verna was amazed, thinking, Who was the one who said to wait a little longer? Now you're running faster than anyone else! Fine, let's follow and see what happens!At this moment, Lambert was in a state of intense anxiety, filled with regret and worry. He had no idea what those women would do to Lydia, but he knew that if he didn't get there soon, Lydia would definitely be badly bullied!Lambert's expression was extremely grim. Ivan and Verna, who were following closely behind, were equally anxious. If Lydia really was bullied, they would feel deeply guilty.Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Sibyl and her close confidante were dragging Lydia inside.Lydia was extremely nervous. She couldn't understand what she had done to offend these people so much that they harbored such hatred towards her—especially Sibyl, whose eyes were filled with such intense hatred that it made Lydia's heart race with fear."What exactly do you want?"Lydia slowly backed away, grateful that she still had a mop in her
After Sibyl tearfully explained the entire sequence of events, both Ivan and Verna were stunned. How could this woman be so conniving? It was truly a case of courting disaster! To come up with such a malicious idea was beyond belief!As expected, upon hearing her words, the murderous aura around Lambert intensified. He gave Sibyl a cold stare. "Drink toilet water? You certainly have quite an imagination. Since you're so creative, why don't you be the first to experience it yourself? Lead by example! Ivan!"At Lambert's command, Ivan stepped forward without hesitation, grabbed Sibyl, and dragged her toward the bathroom stall. Sibyl screamed at the top of her lungs, "Ah! Let me go!"Ivan was unfazed. He had never been one to show pity, especially not to someone like Sibyl, who had brought this upon herself.Verna turned her gaze away, unable to watch, but she said nothing. Her thoughts drifted to Lydia, wondering what she had done to provoke Sibyl.Despite Sibyl's desperate pleas for me
"Are they really that close now?"Lambert couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow. Since the day Lydia joined Universal Conglomerate, or more accurately, since their divorce, he hadn't seen her smile like this—so clear, pure, and genuinely happy. Whenever she faced him, all she could muster were cold smiles, sarcastic remarks, or just a blank expression.Lambert didn't understand how things had reached this point between them. However, one thing was certain—seeing Lydia like this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy toward Andrew on the other end of the phone. This feeling roiled within him, and if he didn't do something to distract himself soon, he swore he'd lose his mind."Andrew, what nonsense are you talking about? He's just an ordinary colleague!"Lambert, now labeled as an "ordinary colleague," stood there in stunned silence. He stared intently at Lydia, his gaze making her feel uneasy. After exchanging a few more words with A
"So, Sibyl, you're just going to let go of what happened to you before?" Sylvia asked with a sly smile, her sympathetic gaze igniting a surge of anger in Sibyl."Do you have any better ideas?" Sibyl's curiosity was piqued, and she quickly moved closer.Sylvia smirked and said, "I do have a small idea, but as you know, Sibyl, I'm just a lowly employee without much power. Unlike you, who has a strong backing.""Enough flattery. Just tell me your plan!"Seeing that Sibyl was interested, Sylvia began to detail her plan. As Sibyl listened, her eyes narrowed with satisfaction. If this plan succeeded, she would be able to settle both old and new scores!When Sylvia finished and noticed that Sibyl remained silent for a long time, she frowned, "Sibyl, do you think my suggestion is no good?"Sibyl stood up, patted Sylvia on the shoulder without a word, and left the room."Sibyl, are you agreeing... or not?"Sylvia couldn't quite figure o
However, when Lambert took a bite of the noodles, his face instantly changed. What was this? It tasted worse than poison! It turned out that Lydia, in her sleepy haze, had mistaken sugar for salt and added it to the noodles. A bowl of what should have been perfectly normal noodles had turned into a sickly sweet, sugary mess.Lambert's eye twitched as he was about to explode in anger, but then he noticed Lydia, sitting across from him, had nodded off, her head bobbing as she fell asleep again. In the soft light, her sleeping face looked especially serene. He couldn't remember the last time he had seen her so peaceful."Lydia, Lydia..." Lambert sighed softly, setting down his chopsticks and walking over to her side, gently calling her name.But Lydia was sound asleep, oblivious even when Lambert picked her up. Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, a pang of guilt flashed through Lambert's heart. It was clear that she was truly exhausted, and he knew he was the o
Lydia found it almost unbelievable that Verna, despite her sharp tongue, had never actually done anything malicious. It wasn't that Lydia had some sort of masochistic tendency, but rather, it seemed that every woman around Lambert had always tried to sabotage her. Meeting someone like Verna, who had the same status as Lambert but such a likable personality, made Lydia reluctantly admit that they were a perfect match.This realization only deepened Lydia's sorrow. Could it be that there was really no way for her and Lambert to go back to the way things were?While Lydia was tormented by these painful thoughts, Verna, who had been dragged into this situation by Lambert as a shield, was also suffering. That morning, after completing her usual role as the "evil supporting actress," Verna couldn't help but complain to Lambert."Lambert, is this really okay? Aren't you worried that Lydia will be so heartbroken that she'll never want anything to do with you again?"
"Keep quiet! Or don't blame me if I scar that pretty little face of yours! But, you know, it's really strange—looking like that, how did you manage to get Lambert so wrapped around your finger? It's enough to make anyone jealous!"Sibyl narrowed her eyes, looking incredibly dangerous at that moment.Lydia's heart raced with fear. Her phone was still in her pocket, and she hoped she could make a call for help. She felt a small surge of relief that the women holding her down had unknowingly pressed her hand against the pocket, allowing her fingers to slip inside.To avoid drawing Sibyl's attention, Lydia spoke up, "Miss Sibyl, there's really no deep grudge between us, right? What you're doing is illegal!"She tried to remain calm, hoping to reason with her captor."Lydia, even at death's door, you're still talking back. Do you really think I'll just let go of what happened before?""What do you want from me?" Lydia's voice trembled.Just as Sibyl was about to reply, one of the women beh
Lambert quickly made a call to inquire whether Sibyl was still at the company. As expected, she had left early!Left early? How convenient. Lambert sneered, convinced that her early departure was just a cover for kidnapping Lydia.He was now certain of it. He had kept this woman around to avoid alerting others at the company about his plans to reorganize internally. But now, he regretted it deeply, as it had given these people an opportunity to harm Lydia. Anger and frustration gnawed at Lambert.Lambert quickly identified his target and found footage of Sibyl and a few others outside the parking lot, including an unconscious Lydia.Seeing this, Lambert's expression turned grim, and Verna was equally shocked. "These people are really bold. But where could they have taken her?"Lambert's eyes darkened, a chilling coldness seeping through. He thought for a moment, then swiftly got up and headed out of the office."Lambert, where are you going?""To find her!"Verna hesitated for a momen
