The sharp fragments of paper left marks on Sasha's face. Blood droplets oozed out and seeing the numerous scars on her trembling hands, Juno realized that she had suffered so much in just two days.
Feeling a pang of guilt, he compromised, "Fine, after work on New Year's Eve, wait for me at the factory gate."
Quinn tried to stop him, "Juno..."
""There's no need to say more, I know what I'm doing."
Seeing his determination, Quinn had no choice but to fall silent, showing a gentle smile. "Alright, I'll listen to you."
However, the malicious look in her eyes sent a chill down Sasha’s spine.
Sasha only wanted to return home safely, without getting involved in this rivalry. So, after finishing work on New Year's Eve, she went straight to the dormitory.
Everyone else had gone home for the holidays, leaving the dormitory unusually quiet and empty.
As Sasha was about to go get hot water, she suddenly saw Juno storming in, his face full of anger. "Didn't I tell you to wait for me at the gate?"
"I have something to do."
"What could you possibly have to do? Don’t you want to meet my parents? I’ll take you back to meet them."
Sasha was stunned for a moment. In the past, she had wanted to meet Juno's parents, hoping for their approval and acceptance. After three years, Juno had never agreed.
Now, when she had given up, he was suddenly willing. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Sasha straightforwardly said, "I don't want to meet them anymore."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Juno angrily picked her up and slapped her. "Behave yourself!"
Sasha felt a surge of shame in her heart but couldn’t break free. Fortunately, it was New Year's Eve and there were hardly any people in the factory.
She was shoved into the back seat of Juno’s Mercedes.
Just as she settled in, Quinn’s voice came from the front passenger seat.
"Juno, in the years I’ve been away, no one else has taken this seat, right?"
"Of course not."
Sasha finally understood why Juno never let her sit in the front seat during their drives. He said it might make her carsick, but it was just an excuse. That seat was reserved for Quinn.
The truth hurt, but Sasha didn’t feel as sad as she thought she would.
She couldn’t figure it out. Was Juno crazy? How could he bring both of them home at the same time?
The Marlow Family was hosting a New Year’s Eve party tonight.
Servants were busy decorating the villa with bright and festive ornaments.
