Chapter 414
“Shut up,
all of you! Get out!”
Emmett, seemingly in a frenzy, grabbed a bottle of Merlot from the rack, and started
guzzling it down.
He hated himself for not drinking enough earlier, for keeping a shred of sanity.
He couldn’t understand what made him any less than Elio? How could he possibly lose to
him?
Clara, in a state of disarray, bolted out of Emmett’s room and hurried back to her own
quarters. As she burst through the door, her friend Rose was taken aback. Her clothes
were torn, her hair a wild mess.

“What the… What happened to you? Did you run into a wall again?”
“No…” Clara didn’t feel like talking. She marched straight to her bed, dove under the
covers, sealing herself off. She clenched her fists, her tears streaming down her face.
She didn’t want anyone to see her crying and didn’t want anyone’s pity.
‘What’s going on with you?” Rose, worried, prodded her a bit, “Don’t hide under the
covers, or you’ll suffocate; you could faint!”
“I don’t need your concern. I’m fine; I’ll be fine in a bit.”
Hearing Clara’s voice, Rose reached out to pull back her covers, You’re crying. I can hear
it. Can’t you just talk to me about it? I promise, I won’t tell a soul, not the butler, not
anyone. Not a word!”
Clara turned her back to her.
Despite the covers being pulled away, she still didn’t want to face anyone, “I’m fine. Just
go about your business.”
“But you’re crying!”
“1… I just… I just miss home a bit, that’s all. You don’t need to worry about me, I’ll be fine
in a bit.”
“Nonsense! Missing home wouldn’t cause this! You’ve clearly been bullied!” Rose held her
hand, “Don’t be afraid, if it’s the butler, we can confront hint! We’re here to work, not to
be slaves, We have our rights too and we can’t just let him abuse or insult us! Come, let’s
go find him. If he doesn’t give you a satisfactory answer, I’ll quit with you. I can’t stand
this place any longer!” Rose didn’t think the butler was such a tyrant before. Since Clara
started working there, he seemed to have changed.

“Stop, Rose! It’s not the butler…” Clara wiped her tears, and sat up in bed, “Don’t confront
him. I’m really okay.”
“If it’s not the butler, then it must be the young master!” Rose looked at her
sympathetically, quickly helping her wipe her tears, “I don’t know what happened
between you two, but him bullying a woman like this is uncalled for. If you can’t take it
anymore, just quit.”
Clara shook her head, “I can’t leave now, and he won’t let me go.”
“He won’t let you go?” Rose looked confused, “If a bull doesn’t want to drink, can you
force its head down? Can’t I quit a job I don’t want anymore?”
“I’m different from you, I…” Clara opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, she closed it
without a word.
After a while, she continued, “You’re free here, but I’m not! But I guess I won’t be in the
Melendez household for much longer.”
