Trapped By Tainted Love

“Mr. Sullivan, I think… Perhaps you should let her in.” Victor’s eyes turned frigid. “Are you telling me what to do?” Alice felt her stomach tight. She immediately shook her head and retracted her statement. “No, you misunderstood me. I suggested that because I know my sister all too well. If she’s driven away without seeing you, I’m sure she’ll cause a scene. I remember she has done that several times in the past at the entrance of the company. What if this time—” “If she tries anything, I’ll have a good reason to call the police on her and have her arrested,” Victor sneered. Alice’s eyes lit up with malice, but she quickly guised it with innocence when she looked back at Victor. “Mr. Sullivan, Rachel is your ex-wife after all. If something happens, and the police arrest her, she will be immensely humiliated.” “Do you think I care about that?” Victor said with indifference. “But… Please at least give me a chance to speak to my sister,” Alice pleaded. “Are you sure you can convince her to leave?” Victor looked at her with curiosity. “I’ll try my best, sir. If she doesn’t listen to me, you can hand her over to the police, and I won’t say a word,” said Alice. Victor stared at her in silence for a while. With every second that passed by, Alice’s heart started beating faster and faster, and her palms started sweating. The way Victor looked at people made them feel like he could see through their minds. “Fine. Go ahead,” he responded. Alice breathed a sigh of relief when Victor was no longer looking at her. She then swallowed her saliva, cleared her throat, and smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Sullivan.” Afterwards, Alice left the office. At this time, Rachel was waiting in the lounge on the first floor. She had been staring at her phone all this time, and decided that if no one was coming down to meet with her in five minutes, she would just leave. In all honesty, she never expected to see Victor when she called Ivan to ask for a meeting with Victor. But in spite of that, she must go through this process, so that by the time she had gone home, she could tell Andy that she had tried set up a meeting with Victor, but he didn’t show up.

And before long, five minutes had passed.

Rachel stretched her arms out, took a sip of her cup of coffee, stood up, and grabbed her bag, ready to leave, 

But as soon as she walked out of the lounge, she saw someone approaching her. The woman’s high heeled shoes click-clacked on the cyan tiles.

It seems that the Sullivan Group had no idea you’ve been detained by the police,” Rachel remarked lazily, ignoring Alice’s provocation. Compared to her bitchy “best friend” in her past life, Alice was nothing. Her friend was a fraud, and a hypocrite-a complete fake. The complacency on Alice’s face disappeared. “Rachel, you’re so stubborn, you know that? It doesn’t matter if
