"Amelia is always so thoughtful!" Xavier said, clearly gratified.

The impending family war had been completely defused simply by Amelia's return.

At the Ellington Group.

Theresa Ellington clocked in and arrived at the office bright and early.

To her surprise, she spotted a familiar figure in the office.

Wasn't that Charles Pembroke?

Why was he here! Hadn't he been fired?

Charles noticed her as well and strutted over with a smug grin. "Morning, Theresa."

"What are you still doing here?" Theresa demanded.

"What? Surprised? Did you really think a little stunt like that could take me down? You're so naive! From now on, we're still going to be coworkers!"

Charles's smile was dripping with malice and calculation.

Theresa had thought the office would finally be peaceful without Charles around, but the snake had somehow slithered his way back in.

She immediately marched over to Rachel Ward's office to find out what was going on.

Entering the office, Theresa called out, "Ms. Ward."

"Can I help you?"

"I wanted to ask about Charles. Wasn't he fired? Why is he back at work today?"

Rachel shot her a displeased look. "That was a decision from upper management. Charles was given a formal warning and a fine. He's already been punished, so you need to let it go. You used to be friendly coworkers, after all. There's no need to be so aggressive."

Theresa couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Aggressive? He was the one who tried to frame me, and I'm the one pushing it? Ms. Ward, this isn't fair. Someone like him shouldn't be allowed to stay at the company!"

Rachel snapped back sharply, "Then what exactly do you want to do? Why don't you just take my job and run the department yourself!"
