Chapter 7
“Who’s there!”
Hearing Aurelia’s panicked voice, Winter’s mind jolted into action as she quickly picked up her phone.
After hurrying back to the private room, she held her racing heart, taking a long time to calm down.
After saving the recording, she checked the time and grabbed her bag, intending to leave.
Just as she reached the café entrance, she saw Aurelia and her friends blocking her path, their eyes cold and threatening.
“You were the one eavesdropping just now, right?”
For a moment, Winter’s mind went blank.
Aurelia stared at her, approaching step by step with a cold smile.
‘Winter Bailey, do you think overhearing my secrets gives you some kind of leverage over me? Let me tell you something–even if you tell Dominic everything, without any proof, he’ll just think you’re making false accusations! Between you and me, he’ll believe me unconditionally. Don’t believe me?
I’ll prove it to you!”
With that, she took out her phone and called Dominic, asking him to pick her up. He immediately agreed.
Then she instructed her friends to bring Winter into the private room.
Once the door closed, the other girls pinned Winter’s shoulders down and pulled her hair, repeatedly slamming her head against the wall, cursing relentlessly.
Winter tried to escape but couldn’t break free. It felt like her scalp was being ripped off.
Her head buzzed from the continuous impacts, blood streaming from her forehead, covering her face. Her vision darkened as her screams echoed in the small space.
Who knows how much time passed before another phone ringtone sounded, and Aurelia finally told them to stop.

She picked up a coffee cup and poured it over Winter, washing away the blood on her body.
Then she pressed the answer button, deliberately hoarsening her voice to sound tearful.
“Dominic, I ran into Winter at the third–floor café. She’s blocking my way and won’t let me leave. Please come quick and help me…”
Winter, in too much pain to think clearly, felt her heart shudder when she heard these words. She struggled to get up and leave, but Aurelia grabbed her hand.
i
The next second, footsteps approached the door.
Aurelia squeezed out a few tears and raised her hand to slap herself.
As the crisp sound of the slap rang out, Dominic kicked the door open.
Seeing him, Aurelia immediately threw herself into his arms, crying like a devastated flower in the
rain.
“Dominic, Winter slapped me across the face. It hurts so bad.”
Looking at the handprint on her face, concern washed over Dominic’s features. His gaze toward Winter turned extremely dark.
“Winter Bailey! I told you Aurelia is my bottom line, and you still dare to hit her?”
“I didn’t…”
Winter’s face was pale as she struggled to explain, but Dominic angrily cut her off.
“You dare bully her when I’m not around? Then taste your own medicine!”
Cold–faced, Dominic called his bodyguards and ordered them to slap Winter thirty times.
Several large men immediately surged forward to restrain her, raising their hands to strike hard.
SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
After just three slaps, half of Winter’s face instantly swelled
- up.
A burning pain spread through her face. She let out a muffled groan as stars appeared before her
eyes.

One slap followed another until her lip split open, bleeding.
Dominic coldly watched her suffering, dropped a final line, and left with Aurelia.
Remember this lesson. Stay away from Aurelia from now on! If anything happens to her because of you, you and the entire Bailey family–will pay the price!”
Winter collapsed on the floor, watching his gradually disappearing figure as tears streamed down
her face.
