Chapter 2

The next day, as Shaw Corporation's CEO, I attended a networking conference.

In the women's restroom, a woman with heavy makeup deliberately approached me holding a glass bottle.

I ran out cautiously, but she chased after me relentlessly.

She screamed while running: "You bitch! You stole my man! You deserve to die!"

I rushed toward the crowded area.

Unable to catch me, she opened the glass bottle and threw the liquid viciously in my direction.

I dodged the first time. The liquid splashed on the floor.

A conference attendee passed by, saw the bubbling liquid on the ground, smelled the strong odor, and screamed: "Acid... it's acid! Ah!"

I covered my head in terror, afraid that life-destroying substance would hit me next.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out. He pulled off his coat and threw it over my head.

Under the coat's cover, I heard Edmund's voice.

He was talking to the attacker: "You don't need to ruin yourself over a woman like her!"

Ha. "A woman like her."

Ironic, wasn't it? He saved me, yet he despised me and hated me.

The woman with heavy makeup seemed to know Edmund. She shouted: "Why are you helping this slut?"

Edmund sneered coldly: "Help? Nobody hates her more than I do!"

Security personnel arrived and restrained the crazy woman.

Afterward, I learned that this woman was the girlfriend of Dylan Garrett, the son of Shaw Corporation's Director Garrett.

Dylan had lied and told her I was his new girlfriend, which caused this psycho to attack me.

It would destroy me and get the crazy woman arrested—killing two birds with one stone. Absolutely vicious!

Makes sense. The moment I joined the company, I started collecting evidence against Director Garrett. Dylan must be desperate.

But compared to Dylan, Edmund should hate me more.

So... why did he save me?

I soon got my answer...
