Mrs. Lu's office was suffused with tension as she fixed her gaze upon Yuan Yuan, her features contorted with a mix of fury and betrayal.
Yuan Yuan, her eyes brimming with tears, struggled to comprehend the sudden shift in Mrs. Lu's demeanor.
She seemed to have understood something; it seemed her fake facade had been pulled off, there was no one to save her now from the strong clutches of Mr Qin wrath.
The air seemed to thicken with the weight of unspoken accusations.
Yuan Yuan attempted to speak, to defend herself, but the harsh words that spilled from Mrs. Lu's lips stifled any protest.
"You slimy worm," Mrs. Lu's voice sliced through the silence like a knife. "So you have been the one manipulating me all this while, how could you do such a drastic thing to someone."
The accusation struck Yuan Yuan like a physical blow, leaving her reeling with confusion and disbelief.
