Qiao Lian's fingers got weak and she almost dropped her mobile.

What has she heard Doctor Zhang say?

That her partner… had brought Xiao Yi home?

He had even shown his marriage certificate…

She clenched her fists and trembled in fury.

Was he trying to make use of her brother to gain control over her?

Her head spun and darkness seemed to be closing in on her. She had been up and out in the freezing cold all night, and she was now even more agitated by this new development. She almost lost her balance.

The great shame that heavily hung in the air was so pervasive that it choked her and entirely shattered her ego.

The cold seeped into her bones.

She felt no warmth in her stiffened body on this wintry morning.

Clenching her jaw and still shaking from the cold, a thousand and one thoughts flashed through her mind all at once. But eventually she hung her head in defeat and let out a bitter and derisive laugh.

Indeed.

Although she had once been the pampered little mistress of the household, it was no longer the case. Now people could degrade and insult her.

Her retaliation would only serve to provoke him more, and she would inevitably have to bear the brunt of his anger.

Her gaze was still fixated on the hotel, but all of a sudden she felt entirely defeated. So what if she managed to get a big scoop?

He could totally and easily crush her, given his status in the entertainment industry.

The thought of it made her feel a strong sense of helplessness.

She turned and headed into the cafe. It had just opened for the day.

Her fingers trembled uncontrollably as she held the hot soya milk. It could have been her fury, or perhaps an effect of the cold.

Even after breakfast, strength did not return to her.

She hailed a cab. After reaching home, she sat down on her bed, drawing the blanket close to her.

Desperately in need of a rest, she had decided not to go to work. But sleep now would not come to her.
