Chapter 709:
“Seriously, Nina? You're still holding on to this? How many times are you going to bring up spending the night
with Linden? What, didn’t you enjoy it?”
Nina's eyes began to fill with tears. She let out a cold laugh and shot back, “Oh, really? Then why don’t you go
sleep with him yourself?”
Nina was haunted by nightmares from that night. Just thinking about nearly being violated by Linden made her
stomach churn.
Nina hadn't slept properly in days, dark circles under her eyes, but Natalie just brushed it off as nothing.
Unable to keep her emotions in check, Nina lunged at Natalie, but Elyse quickly slapped her across the face.
The slap left Nina in shock, tears welling up and falling down her cheeks. Through her blurred vision, she could
only see the disdain on Elyse’s face and the mockery in Natalie's eyes. In their eyes, she was nothing but
worthless.

“Quite the scene to start the day,” Daniela remarked, standing in the doorway, observing Nina pressed against
the wall.
Natalie quickly wiped the cruel expression from her face. Elyse flashed a smile.
“Daniela, | thought you weren't coming to the office today?”
Daniela strolled over and sat down in the CEO's chair, her eyes flicking to Nina's swollen face.
“What happened?”
Elyse quickly moved forward, dismissing it.

“She's just being tic. | gave her a small lesson. Nothing to worry about.”
Natalie added, “Nina can be a bit clumsy. The guests at Elite Lux are important, and I'm worried she won't meet
their standards. | was thinking my mother could take her back to Harper Group so you don’t have to deal with
her.” Elyse nodded eagerly.
They had to make sure Daniela never found out about the pastries being tampered with. To them, Nina was too
naive to remain around Daniela.
“Yes, yes,” Elyse reached for Nina's hand, trying to pull her out.
“I'm not going to Harper Group!” Nina cried out, realizing their plan. They were scared the truth would cout,
or that Linden would find out the person with him that night wasn’t Natalie.
Nina felt the sting of abandonment once more. Linden’s insatiable desires meant that if she didn’t escape,
sooner or later, she'd be back in his grasp.
“Daniela, | won't leave. | want to stay at Elite Lux! Please, letstay here. I'll do whatever you need!”

Elyse gritted her teeth, starting to drag Nina by force toward the office door.
Nina gripped the doorframe, tears streaming down her face. Seeing Nina holding on, Natalie raised her stiletto
heel, clearly intending to bring it down hard on Nina's hand.
“People might think you're the CEO of Elite Lux, Auntie,” Daniela remarked.
Everyone in the room froze and turned in disbelief, their eyes locking onto Daniela.
Daniela sat in her chair, her small smile slowly fading. Fixing Elyse with a steady gaze, she continued, “Is
personnel management at Elite Lux now your responsibility?”
Daniela’s words hit with force, leaving Elyse momentarily speechless. Seizing her chance, Nina hurried to her
feet and rushed behind Daniela, seeking protection.
“Daniela, help me!”
