Desiree instantly came to a realization. Just as she was about to scream, she saw Lina pulling out a gun and
pointing it at her temple.
“W-What are you doing?” Desiree stammered.
“This is the gift I got for you. Do you like it?” Lina scoffed. “Even though my dad has been involved in legitimate
business for a long time now, it seems like it can’t stop someone from being mean to him!”
“Lina, you—”
Lina scoffed. “Since you said I’m the daughter of a gangster, I can’t let that nickname cause me pain. Don’t you
think so?”
Desiree widened her eyes, terrified.
Lina smirked, gloating as she loaded the gun. The sound echoed loudly in the empty bathroom.
Desiree screamed in fright. Her legs trembled, and she almost fell down.
“I-It was a misunderstanding!” She explained with a shaking voice. “We were all just drinking too much. Lina, I-I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdidn’t mean to say that. I…”
“Misunderstanding?” Lina moved her wrist to lift Desiree’s chin with the gun. “You used my fiance’s cup in front of
me. Was it because you had too much to drink? You sat with Zuko and leaned close to him. Was it because you had
too much to drink!?”
Desiree started sobbing instantly. She wanted to cover her head with her arms as she squatted on the ground,
losing the arrogance she had shown before.
Lina looked at her with disdain. She thought Desiree was an overbearing person, but it turned out she was just a
poser.
In reality, there was only one bullet in the gun.
It was for her protection, not to cause harm. She thought that single bullet would be enough to scare people if
anything happened. Moreover, Ian had his men guarding outside. Nothing would happen to her.
Even if she accidentally pulled the trigger after loading the gun, the safety was still on, so the bullet would not be
fired.
However, once she loaded the gun, it scared the living daylights out of Desiree.
Lina smirked and took a deep breath. She would end the game now that Desiree had learned her lesson.
Lina lifted her hand slowly. Before she could put the gun away, someone suddenly opened the door!
Lina was shocked and turned her head to look. “Who is it?”
A janitor came in.
Lina was stunned. She had locked the door when she came in.
However, it made sense that the janitor had the keys.
Lina was spooked. After all, it would be terrible for people to see her with a gun. The moment she was going to put
it away, Desiree seized the opportunity to grab her hand and shoved her!
Lina did not grip the gun properly, dropping it onto the ground!
It fell before the janitor. She glanced at it, and her facial expression changed.
Desiree screamed and tried to grab it.
At that moment, the janitor kicked Desiree’s wrist!

This time, it was the janitor holding the gun.
Lina was dumbstruck. Her heart was pounding.
The janitor looked young and petite, and her sharp chin was visible under the baseball cap. The uniform looked
loose on her.
However, her eyes were like a wolf in the snow, exuding chilliness.
Lina did her best to calm down her chaotic mind.
“You…”
Before Lina could speak, the janitor coldly said two words to Desiree. “Get out.”
Desiree charged out, screaming as she ran for her life.
Just when Lina was still stunned, the janitor went after Desiree and caught up to her almost immediately. The janitor
stretched her leg agilely, causing Desiree to fall hard!
“W-What do you want from me?” Desiree cried. “Are you with the Thompsons? I’ve already apologized, Lina! What
else do you want from me?”
Lina ran over, too, standing behind the two of them.
