"Has Jingchen not come back yet?" She descended the stairs, questioning the maid.

The maid fearfully looked at her: "The young master hasn’t come back all night. Should I prepare breakfast for Madame?"

"Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you know. Whenever you’re free, shoo those reporters away. They’re utterly annoying." Yuan Jiayin jabbed at the maid’s head and cursed angrily.

The maid wiped her tears, wronged as she ran away.

Seriously, ever since this woman became Madame, she has been so crude and horrible. When the young master isn’t home, she vents her anger on them. She can’t even compare to the previous Madame Ye Lu.

Yuan Jiayin was irritable. By noon, Bai Sijia came to see her, consoled her for a bit and said her Bai family would definitely push down her scandal.

Only then did Yuan Jiayin calm down a bit: "How are things on your side?"

Bai Sijia’s expression darkened, full of fury and fear, she told Yuan Jiayin about what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiayin was also shocked, feeling chills. She had encountered Third Young Master Jun at banquets before and always thought him a terrifying man, but hadn’t expected him to have such a twisted personality.

"Do you plan to withdraw?"

"Withdraw? Why should I? I’m going to marry him, make him pay." Bai Sijia felt aggrieved, her eyes expressing malice, Third Young Master Jun dared humiliate her, she despised him but felt the growing need to conquer him, to trample him underfoot.

But she alone couldn’t handle him, hence she needed to unite with Jun Shi; when Third Young Master falls in the family fight, then she would have control over him, making him beg for her help.

After some thought, Yuan Jiayin sneered: "I think it’s because he is still infatuated with that wench; thus he treat you with such contempt. Though we can’t handle her, we can make life difficult for her."

Yuan Jiayin picked up the phone and dialed the number Ye Lu had given her the previous day.

Ye Lu quickly answered the call, puzzled. Why would Yuan Jiayin want to speak with her?

Just as she furrowed her brow, she suddenly heard the triumphant laughter of two women from the other end of the phone call.

"Did he really strip you naked and tie you to a chair? Oh my god, that’s so rassive! No wonder you’re looking so tired today."

"I never expected him to be so animated in that aspect, but he was very gentle with me. The only issue is my waist feels a bit sore after the whole night." Bai Sijia answered shyly.

"Haha, it sounds like you’re quite happy. I think it won’t be long before you get pregnant."

"Yes, indeed. He is really eager for me to bear his child."

Ye Lu’s grip on her phone tightened, her gaze cold as she rushed to the computer, abruptly turning the volume to the highest.

The two women who were laughing triumphantly over the phone were suddenly met with a loud recording of an interview.

"Oh no, the elite Yuan Jiayin is a whore? No wonder she looks so flirtatious."

"Wow, even a whore can become part of the elite. I guess we have a chance too. I wonder how she seduced the rich young master, she must be really good in bed."

Yuan Jiayin turned pale with anger upon hearing the comments from the other end of the call. Seeing the surrounding maids extending their heads in surprise, she hastily hung up the phone.

"Sister, things have reached such a pass, I think you should go to Shang Jingchen right away. He is your true support, you can’t just wait for your doom."

Yuan Jiayin bit her lower lip: "You’re right, I have to go to the company to find Shang Jingchen. I refuse to believe he’d dare to abandon me. He made so many promises to me in the past, if he abandons me now because of this, he will be branded as heartless, which is not good for his reputation."
