Chapter 5

“Millicent, marrying you was the worst luck Leo will ever have in eight lifetimes.”

“Millicent, you shameless slut, are you so desperate for a man you've lost your mind? Stripping in public like some cheap whore!”

I stared at message after message of abuse, and it didn't take long to realize my personal information had been sold off.

Leo would stop at nothing to back me into a corner!

I pulled the SIM card out of my phone right then.

Leo moved fast.

By the next day I'd received a court summons and a formal complaint from his lawyer.

I tossed the complaint straight into the trash and headed to Skyline Group.

I'd barely started toward the building when a familiar, mocking laugh came from behind me.

“Millicent, honey, the whole internet's calling you the town bicycle now, and you still have the nerve to show your face? Honestly, I'm so impressed!”

I turned around to find June's smug little face.

Leo stood beside her, his expression sour!

“What are you doing here? You think Skyline Group is somewhere people like you can just walk into?”

Before I could answer, June jumped in first.

“Millicent must be here looking for a job! Finally figuring out how hard life is without Leo, aren't you!”

“With your qualifications, forget being a receptionist at Skyline. I doubt anyone would even take you on as a cleaning lady. You really should stop coming out to embarrass yourself!”

“You'd better hurry up and apologize to Leo, then go back to being a housewife where you belong!”

Hearing June, Leo's face darkened, and he looked at me coldly.

“A housewife like you wants to get into Skyline Group? You really have no idea where you stand.”

“If you apologize to me right now, I might just be willing to let you keep being Mrs. Harding!”

I looked at him and let out a cold laugh.

“That title of Mrs. Harding, why don't you hand it over to your little childhood sweetheart!”

Leo's face darkened.

“Millicent, I'll be waiting for the day you kneel on the floor and beg me!”

With that, he wrapped an arm around June and strode inside.

I watched his back, my expression going a shade colder.

The moment Leo went in, my assistant came hurrying out to meet me.

“Ms. Henson, Leo and the others have arrived. They're begging to see you right now!”

I looked at him, my expression cooling.

“Send them up to my office. And prepare ten glasses of peach juice!”

Leo pushed open the office door with an eager, fawning look, his eyes full of flattery.

“Ms. Henson, about you canceling the partnership with our company, I'd like to talk it over with you again!”

As the words left his mouth, his eyes landed on me sitting behind the desk, and he froze on the spot.

I looked at him with a soft laugh and gestured to the ten glasses of peach juice in front of me.

“As for the partnership, we can talk about it once you've finished all ten glasses of peach juice!”

Leo's eyes went wide, terror written all over them!

“How are you in the office of Skyline Group's CEO?”
