Elizabeth, feeling annoyed, tossed her phone aside and stared blankly. The phone rang again, and Elizabeth saw an unfamiliar number. A slurred voice answered; a cold female voice came through, “Elizabeni, you…”

Elizabeth looked up. She would recognize that voice anywhere. The traffic light ahead glowed red.

“Elizabeth, I will never let you go. I will never let you go for the rest of my life! Give me back Vincent! Give him back!”

Elizabeth squinted. “Esme, what’s your problem?”

“Vincent is dead!”

Elizabeth’s expression faltered a moment. “Vincent had a conflict with you, and then he died. You told Alexander, didn’t you?” Esme’s voice was heart-wrenching.

The car behind honked impatiently, and Elizabeth stepped on the gas, her voice clear and cold, “Ms. Russell, are you questioning…”

“Shouldn’t I? Elizabeth, you’re the one who should be dead!”

“He tried to kill Lily; he deserved to die. Vincent’s death wasn’t by my hand, and the person you should be cursing isn’t me,” Elizabeth coldly retorted.

Esme laughed maniacally, “Elizabeth, he was my only good friend! I will make sure you go down with him!”

“I dare you.” Elizabeth’s eyes lowered slightly, but her expression suddenly turned icy, like a witch from hell.

Esme fell silent. Elizabeth sneered, “He deserved to die. Don’t bring trouble upon yourself! If you want the people around you to be safe, stop doing those vile things! You hurt Lily, Esme, you have such a cruel heart, you truly are the most vicious person in this world.”

With that, Elizabeth hung up the phone.

At that moment, Esme’s world completely collapsed. She became the most vicious person in this world? “Elizabeth!” Tears streamed down uncontrollably.

In the company’s break room, Esme received the news of Vincent’s death and went mad. Vincent had told Esme he would take action for her. Lime had repeatedly warned Vincent to be careful.

But why? And the news was filled with stories about her and Alexander, with Alexander trampling her into the dust, making her a laughingstock! Why were they doing this to her?

Suddenly, the break room door was pushed open. Esme looked up and saw a woman. The woman glanced at Esme, walked past her, and poured herself a cup of coffee. Esme lowered her head and wiped her tears.

Esme heard the woman say, “You’re from the medical school too.”

Esme had no mind to respond. “So you took Elizabeth’s spot, no wonder medical school suddenly had an extra spot for Elizabeth.”

Esme bit her lip, not knowing what she was getting at. “So you came to our company suddenly as well. Some people never change their bad habits.”

Hearing her words, Esme’s heart trembled. What did she mean?

In the silence, the woman picked up her coffee. She looked at the disheveled Esme squatting on the ground, her eyes dangerous, hatred growing. “Do you know, the position you’re sitting in right now should have been mine?”

Esme instantly looked up. “I was about to get promoted, I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for three years!” The woman stepped forward, and the coffee in…
