When he finished speaking, Carlene was stunned.
Even Caleb looked at her in shock.
“Licia, you… why did you say something like that?”
“Was I wrong? Shouldn’t I have been mad?”
Phalicia shot back sharply, raising her hand and pointing at Carlene, “With the new product about to launch, you made such a scandal. Now the PR Department and I both have to clean up this mess! Do you think I don’t have enough on my plate already? Is everyone just trying to make trouble for me?”
Her sudden outburst of yelling filled the whole office.
Caleb had never seen Phalicia this angry.
He suddenly realized that finding Shevonne staying over at his place, her getting picked on by his mom, and now, all happened in just one day.
Phalicia was acting so weird, it was understandable.
Caleb used to rub her back and said softly, “Licia, don’t worry. There’s no point talking about this now. We still had to figure something out.”
Carlene wiped her tears, “Yeah Licia, whether it’s removing the trending topic, deleting the posts, or saying the photos are fake, anything works. Please think of something to help me, or I’ll be totally ruined, I might really die!”
Phalicia stared at her coldly, raised an eyebrow, and said, “Help you?

Sure.”
Carlene felt a surge of joy, but before she could say anything, Phalicia changed the subject: “But if you want a favor, you gotta act like it.”
“You, how do you want me to beg you?” Carlene clenched her fists.
The PR team also looked at Phalicia, confused.
Phalicia parted her red lips and said, word by word:
“Kneel down and beg me.”
“Now, in front of everyone, get on your knees and kowtow to me.”
The office went quiet all of a sudden.
Carlene’s breathing suddenly got fast and heavy.
She shrieked, her voice cracking: “Kneel? Are you crazy! You want me to kneel to you?”
She was trembling, looking at the flawless and delicate Phalicia in front of her. Jealousy and resentment welled up inside her.
Why wasn’t it Phalicia who got ruined today! Why wasn’t it Phalicia who had to kneel to her!
Kneeling to Phalicia in public, that was worse than killing her!
Caleb also frowned, and felt like Phalicia was a different person today.
There was a kind of hatred all over me that I just couldn’t hold back.
Carlene couldn’t accept it: “We’re good sisters! Phalicia, what are you doing right now? Are you laughing at me while I’m down? I treated you like my own sister, what do you take me for!”

Pa!
Phalicia slapped Carlene, and it made Carlene’s mouth bleed.
She couldn’t stand hearing Carlene’s fake, disgusting words anymore and said coldly, “So real sisters are supposed to work hard to support you for three years, give you tons of work, and then have everything ruined by your messy private life?”
Phalicia walked up to Carlene, grabbed her chin, and looked at her with eyes sharp as knives.
“If things went wrong, the whole Jewelry Department of Voyage Group might go down with you! No one would buy a limited edition from someone like you, especially when you were showing off your
relationship with your boyfriend on social media at the same time as these photos!”
Carlene was stunned, totally freaked out.
She just realized how serious the problem was.
Not only was their private life a mess, but they also cheated, which was a character problem.
Caleb’s face changed too. When he heard that the Jewelry Department was going to be buried, he immediately took Phalicia’s side.
“Carlene, hurry up and kneel down to calm Licia down, or no one could help you!”
Carlene’s hair was messy, and the makeup on her face was all smudged.
She bent her knees with difficulty.
With a splash.

Phalicia heard the sound of Carlene’s knee hitting the ground, and her blood was boiling.
At that moment, the backstabbing jerk who used to act all high and mighty behind her back with Caleb and hurt her and the Lombard family was now crawling at her feet.
I really should have let my brother see this.
Really wished Carlene would just keep kowtowing and die here.
Phalicia’s fingertips curled up as she tried hard to hold back her feelings.
“Please, Licia, I’m begging you, for the sake of our ten years of friendship, help me!”
Carlene mechanically kowtowed and begged for mercy on her knees in front of everyone in the PR Department.
The looks around were complicated. She felt so humiliated that she was shaking all over, but she could only try her best to endure it.
When her forehead was all swollen from bowing, Phalicia finally closed her eyes.
It couldn’t be too much.
