Reluctant to accept this truth, Aline couldn't help but speak up as jealousy filled her eyes.

"Didn't you claim that you didn't Love her?"

“I indeed don't love her!" Harold sneered, his voice filled with disdain.

“But who do you think you are? You have no right to interfere in my relationship with her."

Aline forced a bitter smile through her bloodied tears.

She looked Like a shocking mess as her delicate makeup was smudged.

She let out a humorless chuckle and said, “Harold, you love her!"

“No, I don't Love her!"

His defensive stance caused her to laugh louder.

“Really? If you don't love her, then why do you care whether she knows the truth? Why are you so bothered that she might discover what a despicable man you are, capable of sleeping with any woman? If you don't Love her, why have you gone to such lengths to deal with her just to make her come back to you? If you don't love her, why haven't you slept with her in the past four years? Are you truly uninterested in her sexually, or are you simply afraid of hurting her? Harold, you must regret it. You haven't touched her in four years, and now that she's single, she can do whatever she wants with any other man," Aline hissed, her eyes red from tears.

Aline felt like a fool. She had been so confident that she had finally defeated Rena, but now she had suddenly realized that Harold never really had feelings for her to begin with. What only mattered to him had always been power and Rena.

Aline's words struck a nerve, and Harold slapped her twice in a fit of rage.

Though her lips trembled, she continued to sneer.

“Harold, your slaps mean nothing! Let me tell you, Rena will never return to you. Even if you get everything else you want, you'll never have her!"

“Fuck off!" Harold shouted, consumed by anger.

With cold eyes directed towards him, Aline straightened herself, wiped the blood from her mouth, and left with a sense of pride.

Meanwhile, Harold, still seething, smashed his phone against the wall.

The secretary, about to enter the room, froze at the sight before her.

She had never witnessed Harold so enraged.

Amidst the chaos, Harold declared, "I must see Rena tomorrow!"

Understanding his intentions, the secretary nodded silently.

Rena had yet to inform Eloise that she had lost her job. With so much happening at home lately, she didn't want her stepmother to worry.
