Chapter 101

Renee couldn't believe that Carl would act so boldly toward her right in front of Travis, especially in the Grey estate. Ignoring his words, she continued struggling to free herself from his grasp. As she looked up, she found herself staring into Carl's deep, inky eyes, filled with danger and a hint of aggression. It wasn’t until he was right in front of her, disregarding Travis's presence entirely, that she realized just how close he had gotten.Feeling a surge of panic, Renee raised her hand to push him away and quickly nodded in agreement, signaling that she would go with him.Carl stopped, reached out, and removed a leaf from her hair. His voice was as cold and indifferent as ever. "There was something in your hair."Renee realized she had been tricked. She scrunched up her nose but knew there was nothing she could do. Turning to Travis, she said, "Travis, I have something to take care of, so I need to go."Travis smiled gently. "Go ahead, but take care of yourself.""Thank yo

At some point, Carl had removed her shoes and socks without her noticing."Uncle Carl, what are you doing? This is really uncomfortable!" Renee instinctively tried to pull her foot back, but he held it firmly, indifferent to any dirt or discomfort.His hands were warm against her skin, and though she didn't want to admit it, her body reacted honestly. The warmth was so soothing that her toes involuntarily curled a little.Carl continued to hold her foot, his fingers rubbing the top of it with a certain pressure—a mix of pain and ticklishness. He teased, "Uncomfortable?"Renee bit her lip, refusing to answer.Carl reached for a spray from the first-aid kit and spritzed it onto her slightly swollen ankle before applying a medicated patch.Renee watched him silently, confused as to why he was doing this.Suddenly, something clicked in her mind: Annie.Carl had promised Annie that he would prevent the recording from spreading.Almost as soon as the thought crossed her mind, Carl s

He bit her!Renee knew Carl was getting back at her for biting him earlier.She closed her eyes, bracing for pain and expecting blood. But the pain was brief. His teeth on her neck alternated between gentle and firm, almost teasing.Her body shivered as his lips moved slowly against her skin, sending chills down her spine. Suddenly, he lifted her onto a coffee table. She tried to escape, but he trapped her within his arms.Carl leaned in so close that their lips almost touched. Renee pulled back, but he held her head, drawing her closer. The near-contact between them made the air feel hot and thick."Say it again," Carl whispered.Renee pressed her lips tight, refusing to speak, frozen in place.Calmly, Carl took the flower from behind her ear and crushed it in front of her. “Hideous,” he said coldly.Was he calling the flower hideous, or her?Renee thought he meant her. Forced to meet his gaze, her long lashes fluttered, but her eyes stayed defiant. She bit her lip again. Her

Jackson noticed Renee's pale face and called out, “Miss Lacey…”Renee sneered, “Uncle Carl went to great lengths, didn't he?”“Miss Lacey, actually…” Jackson attempted to explain, but Renee had already walked away, leaving him to sigh in frustration.Back in her room, Renee headed straight for the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, she spotted a distinct red mark on her neck. The bite mark was faint, but the surrounding skin was a deep, vivid red. Anyone who saw it would know what had happened.She washed it several times, but the more she scrubbed, the redder it became. In the end, she had to give up. With a report to Annie's studio scheduled for tomorrow, it seemed she would need to cover it up with some foundation.As she pondered how to ask Susanne for some foundation, Susanne showed up unexpectedly.“Renee? Are you back? I brought you something to eat.”Hearing this, Renee quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her neck before stepping out of the bathroom.Susanne eye

Hearing someone call her name, Renee turned around to see a woman in a black business suit standing formally in front of her.“Do you remember me? Lucy Pens.”Third place in the competition.Renee nodded politely. “Yes, I remember. Hello.”Lucy adjusted her suit and smoothed her hair. “Thanks for letting me take your place last time.”“It’s nothing. We should head up now. We can talk more later.” Renee glanced at the time, not wanting to cut it close on her first day. She wanted to arrive at least ten minutes early to familiarize herself with the place.“Of course.” Lucy fell into step beside her, excitement in her voice. “Renee, I honestly think your work deserved first place.”Renee stopped and gently cut her off. “Lucy, keep that thought to yourself and don’t mention it again.”Annie wasn’t as indifferent as she appeared. She was petty and couldn’t tolerate even the slightest provocation.But before they could say more, the elevator doors opened, and out stepped Annie, coming

They walked into the office.Bella clapped her hands to get everyone's attention and introduced them. "These are our new interns. This is Annie Simmons, personally chosen by Ms. Xander as the competition winner. I don't think I need to say more."The staff immediately caught the hint in Bella's words and lined up to greet Annie enthusiastically. No one even asked for Renee and Lucy's names.Annie glanced at Renee briefly before putting on an act. She walked over to Renee and Lucy, linking arms with them, and said warmly, "These two are also my friends, Renee Lacey and Lucy Pens. Let's all work together and have a great time!"Renee froze for a moment. It was clear that Annie had overheard their conversation outside the elevator and was waiting for the right moment to get back at them.Annie was using this chance to show off her kindness while subtly making them seem less important, as if they were only here because of her.Unfortunately, Lucy seemed genuinely touched by Annie's k

Chapter 107

Renee knew Annie's nasty side all too well from her past. Annie could switch between her two faces easily, putting on a perfect show each time. In the past, Renee had tried hard to explain herself, but now she realized there was no point in bothering when dealing with Annie.All she had to do was act a little crazy.Renee put down her phone and picked up the hot coffee pot, turning around quickly."If your mouth is that dirty, maybe you need a little scalding?" she said coldly. "Miss Simmons, do you really want to see what it's like to be messed with by a lunatic right here?""I might lose my job, but you'd lose your reputation, your family's name, and embarrass Mr. Grey. Can you afford that?"As expected, when Annie saw the coffee pot, her face twitched, and her thick makeup almost cracked. She stepped back quickly, her eyes flashing with anger."Renee, don't get too cocky. Do you really think you've won?""In the end, Mr. Grey still chose me. He made sure all the evidence you had aga

Lucy looked worried. “But… isn’t Mr. Grey’s wine expensive?”Annie smiled casually. “Mr. Grey brings me here often and always tells me to have whatever I want. I don’t really know the prices, but once I accidentally knocked over a bottle, and they said it was worth over ten thousand dollars. Mr. Grey didn’t care about the cost; he was just worried I might have cut myself.”“Oh no, we've been hit by a love bomb! Come on, everyone, let's thank the future boss lady!” a colleague teased.“Thank you, boss lady!”“Please, stop it. I’m not saying another word.” Annie’s face flushed as she played the shy girlfriend, but she kept her eyes firmly on Renee, as if staking her claim.Renee glanced back at her and forced a couple of polite laughs with her coworkers, as if she cared about Annie's status as the future Mrs. Grey when she didn’t even care about Carl himself.At that moment, Lucy slid over to Renee and grinned. “I’m so jealous of Miss Simmons. But I’m sure you don’t feel that way,

As Carl helped Annie into the car, she shot a venomous glare over his shoulder at Renee. That look told Renee everything she needed to know—Annie was holding yet another grudge.Renee turned to Lucy, puzzled. “What are you talking about?”Lucy, her cheeks flushed from drinking, apologized sheepishly, “I’m sorry, Renee. I had too much to drink and was just joking. Don’t take it seriously.”Renee knew better than to get upset over drunken talk. She merely pressed her lips together and let it go.Everyone was having a good time, some even letting loose a little too much. Lucy staggered to her feet, raising her glass. “Since I’m new here, let me propose a toast to all of you.”She downed the entire glass and then turned the cup upside down to show it was empty.Everyone turned to look at Renee. With a resigned smile, she stood up and raised her glass. “I’d like to toast to everyone as well.”Annie had already encouraged everyone to drink a lot earlier, and after finishing her glass,

Jackson nodded. “Please, go ahead.”Annie got out of the car and walked toward The Eliza.…Renee stepped out of the private room and walked down the hallway. The cool breeze made her feel even more light-headed, intensifying the dizziness from the alcohol. She leaned against a pillar, trying to find her way out.As she stumbled along, she thought she needed to turn a corner and did so without thinking. Her foot slipped off the step, and she instinctively pitched forward.With a splash, she fell into a pool of water, the cold shock bringing her to her senses. Looking down at the water reaching her chest, she felt utterly embarrassed.She waded to the edge, slowly climbing out using the steps.Beyond the pool was the manager’s office with its large glass windows.Carl hadn’t lied to Annie; the manager of The Eliza had indeed requested to see him.“Mr. Grey, Miss Simmons has racked up over a hundred thousand dollars in charges recently. Today alone, she opened six bottles of you
