Chapter 9
Arlene’s eyes turned red feeding powerless. The counselor had said… She was the top student in the class, most deserving of that spot. But if Brendan found the school that spot wouldn’t be hers
go to work on time tomorrow, Arlene said with restraint.
Brendan nodded in satisfaction. He was planning to stay overnight tonight, but Paige called, and he hurriedly left after answering the phone.
Arlene stood alone in the living room, and she went crazy, smashing all the glass cups on the table.
She wanted to escape she had to escape
Escaping from Brendan’s cage and shackles escaping from this world’s unfair rules and systems.
She would never give up!
The Dudley Grong
The next day when Arlene got to the company, Paige was there too.
Arlene Page called out Arlene’s name gently and with concern
Arlene had a high fever all night last night, so she looks tired today.
Ms. Hihon said hi Arlene politely replied, wanting to get back to her own desk.
Sorry……. ”Page saad guiltily. I had them come to apologize to you. I didn’t know it was them who pushed you into the water yesterday. Bren checked the surveillance footage later and that’s how I found out…
Arlene’s steps froze for a moment, she stared tensely at the three people standing next to her workstation.
Wilma Darin and Sherrie
Wilma sat at her desk with a defiant expression, looking at her with a cold smirk.
Ariene looked back at Paige.
Did she really make these three people apologize to her?
The asked us to apologize to you. Darin said loudly, making sure all the company employees heard.
Colleagues all looked curiously at Arlene, they also wanted to know what happened.
Although your assistant trying to seduce Brendan was quite bold, I still have to apologize to you. I shouldn’t have pushed you into the water yesterday,” Darin joked with a smile on his face.
Colleagues were shocked and looked at Arlene, she actually flirted with Mr. Dudley? That’s so out of line.
“Arlene hooked up with Mr. Dudley? She doesn’t even know her own status
That girl now, just because she’s pretty, thinks she can get away with anything.”
Colleagues were gossiping.
Arlen, with tears in her eyes, walked up to Wilma and said, “Please leave.”
Wilma sneered, stood up and threatened Arlene, “Brendan proposed to Paige. They will soon be engaged and married. If you don’t want to be embarrassed for the rest of your life, you better stay away from Brendan
“We still have a lot of your sexy photos, do you want us to share them for everyone to see?” Sherrie laughed, took out her phone, opened a photo, and showed a to her colleagues at the company
That
a photo taken when they bullied Arlene in freshman year.
In the phon, Arlene was cornered by them in the restroom, her clothes were torn, her face had bruises, and her hair was all wet…..
The colleague looked at the photo in shock, then gave Arlene a complex look
Arlene was shaking all over, couldn’t even say a word
Page, this wasn’t about getting those people to apologize to bet.
it was these people who came to warn her.

< Chapter 9
Warned her to stay away from Brendan.
I have a lot of photos and videos here, do you guys want to see?” Sherrie asked with a smile.
Some colleagues were making a fuss.“Send it to our staff
Everyone joined in and laughed along.
They were all using other people’s pain as entertainment…
group chat.”
Come on, I’ll send it to you.” Darin teased, reaching for his phone to scan the other person’s WhatsApp.
Arlene felt dizzy in the ears and her fingers went numb to the point of being ice–cold and unfeeling.
Killed them…
I really wanted to kill them.
Picking up the glass vase with flowers on the side, Arlene smashed it hard on Darin’s head.
At that moment, the whole workspace went quiet, everyone looked at Arlene in shock.
Arlene was breathing heavily, probably because she was too excited, and then her nose started bleeding.
Wiping the nosebleed off her hand, Arlene stood numbly in place, staring at her hands.
Darin stood up straight, touched the back of his head, blood all over his hands, looked at Arlene in shock.
He probably didn’t expect Arlene to lay a hand on him.
And obviously, Arlene went all out.
Darin! Paige screamed and ran over to get Wilma to call an ambulance.
The scene was chaotic, the noise was so loud that it even woke Brendan up.
*Call the police, she’s intentionally hurting people, call the police!” Sherrie angrily shouted, as if she was trying to send Arlene to jail.
What’s going on!” Brendan walked over with a serious face and checked on Darin.
Paige’s eyes turned red as she looked at Brendan.“Darin came to apologize to her, but she ended up hurting someone. Sherrie is going to call the police.” Did you hit him?” Brendan asked Arlene.
Arlene numbly looked at Brendan, blood gushing from her nose uncontrollably, looking disheveled and pitiful.“Yes…”
“Mr. Dudley, are you going to defend this woman? It will hurt Paige’s feelings,” Sherrie deliberately provoked.
Paige stared straight at Brendan.
Brendan paused for a moment, then looked away.’Call the police.”
Arlene smiled, wiped the blood off her hands, and stood there waiting for the police.
‘Arlene, did you fucking hit me?” Darin just realized it and wanted to hit Arlene.
Brendan frowned, raised his hand and grabbed Darin.“Don’t move around, you’ll die from too much blood loss.”
Darin was scared, standing still and not daring to move.
Sherrie called the police, and when they came to take Arlene away, she didn’t even say a word in her defense.
They were just joking around, no need to take it to the police station,” Paige stepped in as the good guy. “Bren, have Arlene apologize to my brother, and we can call it even.”
Brendan quickly looked at Arlene Apologize to Darin!”
He probably didn’t want Arlene to go to the police station, he just couldn’t defend Arlene in front of Paige anymore.
Arlene looked down and wiped the still dripping nosebleed, then smiled at Darin. “Sorry… next time, I’ll just kill you directly.” Darin was shocked as he looked at Arlene. When Arlene said killed him, her eyes were very cold.
Wilma and Sherrie were both furious. “Brendan, look, she didn’t even mean to apologize.”
“When I didn’t want to live anymore, I would definitely take the three of you with me,” Arlene’s voice trembled.
*Arlene‘ Brendan got angry, angry that Arlene wouldn’t listen.
< Chapter 9
She wasn’t like this before.
The old Arlene used to be very obedient. She was always afraid
others,
so she would always be timid and keep her feelings to herself.
People’s patience has its limits.
As Arlene passed by Paige, she gave her a glance.

She won…
Arlene knew Paige is very smart.
Paige’s goal was to warn Arlene to stay away from Brendan.
Actually, Paige knew that Arlene was Brendan’s mistress kept
outside.
Paige got married to someone else for four years, Brendan and Arlene’s relationship, no matter how secretive, always showed some signs.
Following the police, Arlene didn’t look at Brendan again.
Four years of relationship, cheaper than grass.
Seeing the police taking Arlene to the elevator, Brendan felt a little nervous.“You go with her, take care of her
Brendan had his assistant deal with Arlene’s matter.
Let the police educate them a bit, just go through the process.
“Mr. Dudley, the meeting is about to start,” the secretary reminded.
Brendan rubbed his furrowed brow in annoyance and followed the secretary out.
Darin is my brother, he’s Mr. Dudley’s future brother–in–law. Mr. Dudley wants you to take special care of him, you know what I mean?” As Brendan left, Paige looked meaningfully at Sheldon Herman.
Sheldon paused for a moment, then nodded in understanding.
Arlene dated Brendan’s future wife’s little brother, which was just asking for trouble.
Darin just broke the skin, normally just a verbal warning would be enough, but if you insist on pursuing it, Arlene could be detained by the
administration.
