Sophie kept her tantrum going for a quite a while.
Sheâd gotten the attention of the entire floor to come and watch the spectacle.
The floor containing the office of Earth Groupâs CEO was as rowdy and bustling as a marketplace.
Jolene had to get rid of Sophie before Bowen returned.â
She quietly instructed Joyce to contact someone, a Miss Viona Gellar.
In twenty minutes, Viona had arrived.
At that moment, Sophie was seated at Joleneâs desk and screaming at the secretary to get on her knees. She wanted to see her beg for forgiveness and promise to never seduce Bowen ever again.
After taking one look at the scene, Viona rushed to apologize.
âIâm very sorry, Miss Marsh. My sister has been spoiled by my family. Iâm so sorry.â

O 1 She was the image of gentleness and sensibility. She didnât hesitate to bend forward and bow in remorse.
Jolene simply held her arm and softly whispered, âMiss Gellar, please take your sister back home. Itâs best that Mr. Evert doesnât know about this.â
Viona looked at the woman in front of her.
Sheâd been unexpectedly slapped in the face, ridiculed by her sister, and ogled at by those on the floor.
And yet here she was, as calm and collected as ever. She never failed to maintain control of her situation.
The corners of Vionaâs lips twitched as she forced herself to smile.
âIâm so sorry, Miss Marsh, this wonât happen again.â
âWhatâre you apologizing for, Viona? I saw her flirting with my brotherâinâlaw last night, and this morning I saw them coming out of the same neighborhood! This woman-â
âThatâs enough!â Viona roared, interrupting her sister. âHasnât this been humiliating enough? Weâre going home right now!â

788 Woucher âMiss Marsh, why donât you stop by the hospital and get your face examined? Iâll cover all of your medical expenses.â
âThereâs no need.â Jolene escorted them to the elevator, still her smiling self. âItâs nothing serious. I already have some medicine.â
With one last bow, Viona tugged Sophie into the waiting elevator.
As the doors slid shut, Jolene tilted her head back to watch the blinking numbers descend. She didnât turn around until the elevator had reached the first floor.
Joyce poked her head out from a corner and cautiously asked, âMiss Marsh, should I bring you a cooling ointment?â
âNo, itâs okay.â She began to walk back to her office. âIâll just splash some water on my face later.â
âThat Viona Gellar really knows how to behave properly. As the face of the Gellars, sheâs definitely on a different levelâ¦â Halfway through her sentence, Joyce caught Joleneâs eye and hurriedly corrected herself.
âI mean, her sister is terrible though. The worst!â

âOh.â Joyce nodded, âOf course, Iâll talk to them, but, Miss Marsh, is your face really okay?â
She nodded and retreated to her office at last.
She approached her window just in time to see the Gellar sisters walk out of Earth Group.
Suddenly, as if sensing her presence, Viona glanced up in Joleneâs direction.
However, Jolene made no move to hide. After all, she was on the nineteenth floor. She doubted anyone could see this far up.
It didnât matter whether Viona truly was remorseful for her sisterâs actions or if she was also in on the act.
They got their point across, showing that they knew about her relationship with Bowen.
They had Sophie try to deliver a blow.

It was a message for her to know her place.
However, Viona wasnât stupid.
1388 Vouchers Jolene let out a laugh before going to find the bathroom. She washed her face gently, enjoying the soothing feeling of the cool water. Since she didnât have time to redo her makeup, she just dried off and resumed working.
When Bowen finally returned in the afternoon, he instantly noticed her lack of makeup.
Although she was already beautiful, she always applied a light makeup look when coming to work.
So, when Jolene visited him to hand in her report, he asked nonchalantly:
âWhat happened to your face?â
