On the surface, they looked like a couple who had just split up.

"Summer, we're done, so why are you still trying to control who I hang out with? I'm telling you, you've got no right."

"Her, really?" Summer sneered. "If you'd found someone better than me, I wouldn't be this upset. But an old lady? You must be out of your mind."

The phrase "old lady" echoed in Eliza's mind, giving her a headache.

Calmly, Eliza put her phone away, flexed her wrist, and delivered a sharp slap across Summer's face. "Had enough?"

Summer, clutching her stinging cheek, stared at Eliza in disbelief. "You hit me? You steal my boyfriend and then hit me?"

"Summer, if you don't want to lose both your man and your job, you'd better disappear from my sight. Any delay, and you'll seriously regret it."

Eliza's stare was as sharp as a knife.

Summer, clueless about Eliza's background, assumed she was bluffing.

"What do you think you can do? I'm telling you, you can't take my man, and you don't have a say over my job. But that slap, I can return."

Summer raised her hand, ready to strike back.

But before she could, a strong hand caught her wrist.

She looked up in shock at the man who intervened, "Casper, Mr. Casper?"

"Summer, you've got some nerve, messing with what's mine?" Casper swiftly released her arm and

stepped in front of Eliza. "Who gave you the right to bully her like that?"

"Mr. Casper, I wasn't bullying her. She was bullying me." Summer, looking pitiful, pointed at Eliza. "She stole my boyfriend and slapped me."

Casper turned to Eliza, "Did you take her boyfriend?"

"Why do you care?" she snapped, clearly annoyed.

Casper: ...???

Caleb: ...Our sister-in-law isn't giving any leeway here.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Are you this woman's boyfriend or not?" Caleb asked Johnny.

Johnny quickly denied, "We've broken up. I'm not her boyfriend. She's just stirring up trouble."

"Johnny, what do you mean I'm causing trouble? You're the one who added this old lady on WhatsApp. You must be desperate..." Summer fumed.

Johnny shot back, "If she's an old

lady, what are you? A nagging old maid? What makes you think you're younger and prettier? You're just embarrassing yourself. You're really boring."

"Johnny..." Summer shouted, on the brink of tears.

Caleb chuckled on the side.

Chelsea and Eliza couldn't help but cover their mouths, trying to hide their laughter. "That's enough. Don't bother coming to work tomorrow," Casper said coolly. Summer blinked in disbelief, "Mr. Casper, what did I do wrong to be fired?"

"You messed up by being blind to your own faults and messing with someone you shouldn't have," Casper grabbed Eliza's wrist, pulling her close. "This is my wife. You dare to yell at her and try to hit her? Seems like you don't just want to lose your job but your life too."

Summer was stunned...

What was happening?

His wife?

She had crossed the CEO's wife?

"Casper, Mr. Casper, this can't be

true. How can she be your wife? Look at her, she looks so plain and ordinary. She doesn't look like a CEO's... wife..."

Summer's words grew weaker, her voice softer, her tone tinged with tears.

How could she be so unlucky to offend the CEO's wife?

Casper looked at the woman in his arms, "Enough drama for tonight. Let's go home and get some rest." "Casper, mind your own business." She resisted, trying to free herself.noveldrama

He tightened his grip gently, guiding her outside, his voice low, "Please, just go along with it."
