Lilian’s scream was like a rope that pulled Jocelyn back to reality.

“Why can’t I hit you?” Jocelyn calmly asked, hiding her numb palm behind her back, her heart pounding.

“My name is Jocelyn Wilson. This is my home. As a servant, you screamed at me. Not only did you not apologize, but you even threatened me. Shouldn’t I hit you?”

‘As she spoke, Jocelyn could hear her heart beating fast.

The palm that was hidden behind her back slowly turned into a fist, as if it was cheering her on.

I did it! Jocelyn thought to herself.

Lilian had never seen Jocelyn act so intimidatingly. In the past, Jocelyn was like a rabbit that everyone could step on.

But now, Jocelyn was like a small leopard. Although she still looked furry, she had sharp claws and fangs.

Lilian hesitated.

In the few seconds of her hesitation, she thought about a lot of things. She thought about Jocelyn’s identity that she had once ignored, and she thought about the engagement that Mr. Brown had announced in front of everyone. This made her hesitate to hit back.
‘Without waiting for Lilian to refute, Jocelyn, who was still a little worried, became much more confident. “Why are you still standing here? Go and do what you have to do!”

This was the first time Jocelyn spoke so loudly.

As Lilian passed by Jocelyn, she glared at her fiercely and mumbled, “I’ll see how long you can stay arrogant for. One day…”
Without finishing her sentence, Lilian quickened her pace and walked away, afraid that Jocelyn would slap her like she did just now.

Lilian touched the place where she was hit and couldn’t help but curse at Jocelyn.

‘When she was alone, Jocelyn relaxed her tense body. Her aura, which was boosted by anger, deflated quickly like a popped balloon.

“Did she say that because she knows what the mother and daughter are planning?” Jocelyn thought to herself.

“Forget it, I’ll see what happens. As long as I can last until I graduate from university, I’ll be free.” Jocelyn cheered for herself softly.

She pushed open the door in front of her and walked in.

Looking at the empty living room, Jocelyn heaved a sigh of relief. Not having to face the mother and daughter made her feel a lot more relaxed.
However, no sooner had she taken her very first step in than Maria suddenly popped up behind her.

“Little b*tch, why are you back so late? Who were you fooling around with? Look at your dress, it’s all messy. Don’t you have a sense of shame?”
Maria’s voice startled Jocelyn.

“I just went to see Eliza. If you don’t believe me, you can call her. Eliza can prove it for me.”

Jocelyn turned around and explained to Maria with a frown.

Jocelyn knew very well that if she did not explain things to Maria today, there would be a lot of rumors about her tomorrow.

Maria was always like this, always going against her and always taking a delight in seeing her embarrass herself.

“Of course your friend will help you.” Maria sneered, and then as if she had thought of something amusing, Maria covered her mouth, laughing.
“I think you probably haven’t seen the news on the Internet yet, right? If you had, you wouldn’t made up that stupid excuse.”

Maria took a step forward, closing the distance between her and Jocelyn. When Jocelyn was gonna back off, Maria grabbed her shoulder.

“The news of you going to a hotel with another man has been spreading everywhere. The entire New York, no! The entire world knows that you’re a slut!”
Malice flashed across Maria’s eyes. She pushed Jocelyn toward the stairs.

Before Jocelyn could regain her sense from the shocking news, she fell back.

By the time she reached out to grab something to stabilize her body, it was already too late.

Jocelyn felt a pain in her ankle and fell to the ground. Her back hit the angular stairs.

‘The great pain that came at the same time from her ankle and back made Jocelyn pale. Beads of cold sweat ran down her face.

But she was too busy thinking about what Maria just said, to the point that she completely forgot about the pain..
