Chapter 121 Caught off guard

Caiwai sat in her room, the dim light from a solitary lamp casting long shadows on the walls. Her fingers clenched the edge of her bed, nails digging into the fabric as a storm of emotions churned within her.

Helplessness and anger warred in her chest, each vying for dominance, ever since the day she had gone to Jin's office and Yuan Yuna had walked in. Jin had not taken her calls or let her come over to see him. She was really bothered and angry.

The look on Yuan Yuna's face had been unmistakable, filled with a mix of triumph and concealed contempt. Caiwai had known immediately that something was amiss.

The memory of that encounter replayed in her mind with brutal clarity. Yuan Yuna's smug expression, the subtle, almost imperceptible exchange of glances between her and Jin. There was no doubt in Caiwai's mind that some hidden game was afoot, a game in which she was unwittingly entangled.
