Chapter 6
“Do you even realize what time it is? How can you still be sleeping like this? Pretending to be the young miss of the Clarke family, are you? Even dogs don’t sleep as soundly as you do!” The one berating her while placing her hands on her hips was Scarlett, a maid in the villa and also a close friend introduced by Mila. Knowing full well what Evelyn had done two years ago, she showed no mercy or kindness.
“I’m sorry ... I’m not feeling well...” Evelyn hadn’t slept under a blanket all night and had been treated roughly. Her body still burned with pain, caught between icy chills and fiery discomfort.
Seeing how weak and frail Evelyn looked, barely able to speak, Scarlett’s eyes darted around for a moment before she marched into the bathroom without a word. She returned with a basin of cold water and dumped it directly onto Evelyn’s face.
The sudden shock of cold jolted Evelyn awake. Gasping for air, overwhelmed by the freezing sensation, she stared at Scarlett in disbelief.
But Scarlett showed no remorse. A cold smirk spread across her face. “Why are you staring at me? You were too lazy to wake up, so I helped you. You should be grateful.”
She was more like a pigeon whose wings had been clipped, utterly powerless to resist. Clenching her fists tightly, she said nothing, slowly rising to her feet.
“Tch,” Scarlett sneered as she watched Evelyn standing there lifelessly. She pulled a suit from the wardrobe, intending to shove it into Evelyn’s hands but hesitated, finding her too filthy. Instead, she tossed it onto the bed. “Mr. Drake just called. He wants you to deliver this jacket to private room No. 15 at Nevernight City. Get moving now! If you delay, no one will dare bear Mr. Drake’s wrath!”
Nevernight City ... Despite the throbbing ache in her body, Evelyn recalled the consequences of defying Liam. In the end, she calmly picked up the suit.
Just as she stepped out of the door, she awkwardly turned back and extended her hand.
