"Using the data I risked my life for, how dare you claim these honors?" I fumed to myself.
When Jarvis cto check on me, I directly asked him how to file a complaint. After a barrage of questions, he finally asked, "Who do you want to report?" I didn't give a nand just hinted he'd find out soon enough.

The smug look on her face showed she was reveling in her long- overdue triumph. "Grace, it's been a month since you left the hospital. Why do you still look so pale?" she asked, her tone laced with arrogance.
As Eloise reached out to take my hand, my eyes were immediately drawn to the dazzling gold bracelet on her wrist. It looked so familiar. I grabbed her wrist and turned it over.
It had my initials engraved on it. It was one of the pieces Antogavewhen we got married.
But before all this happened, the bracelet had gone missing. He scolded me, saying I must have lost it, and toldto search for it.
He even beratedover and over when I cried for not being able to find it. Now, I realized he had given it to Eloise.
I yanked the bracelet off her wrist. "Do you have a knack for stealing trash or what? He's a piece of shit. You really want him and his junk jewelry? What's next, dumpster diving for dinner in my backyard?" Eloise didn't seem surprised, as if she had known it was mine all along. She brushed my hand aside, picked up the bracelet from the ground, and slowly slid it back on. "Calm down. I get that you can't have him, so you say these things to destroy him. Honestly, you almost madelaugh.
"By the way. Antoand I plan to our engagement at my valion party. I even got a special invitation for... no, I should call you Grace now." She smirked as she broke the news to me. Then she handedthe invitation. The word 'Beloved' glistened in gold, but to me, it was drenched in irony.

I noted the engagement party date and submitted my complaint letter.
If my timing was right, Eloise and Antowould receive quite a surprise on their engagement day.
While waiting. I started looking for new job and changed my ne number. Before discarding my old SIM Card, the last call I received was from Antonio's mother.
I had been taking care of her while she was ill, but I hadn't visited since e my surgery. She sent a message, orderingto
take care of her and her bedridden husband. You haven't cto take care of us in ages. Are you asking for a beating? I told my son a little beating helps. Get your act together and cover. Your job doesn't matter anyway."
I ignored her, got rid of the card, and soon found a decent job thanks to Jarvis's recommendation at a law En firm. My reswas accepted almost immediately, and I was to start work the following week.
