All the way up to the top floor, Layla remained in shock. That girl, is she really the general manager of this corporation?
The moment she stepped into the office, she froze. The entire room was wrapped in glass—a 360-degree view of the world outside, as if she were standing above the clouds.
Karina was seated in the lounge area, leisurely brewing coffee. Without looking up, she called out, “Ms. Layla p>
Startled back to reality, Layla turned her head. Sitting there was a woman in her late twenties, dressed in a sleek, high-end suit. Her sharp bob framed a face that radiated confidence and capability; her bright eyes gleamed with intelligence. As a woman, Layla couldn’t help feeling small and inadequate in comparison. “Hello, you are p>
Karina poured the freshly brewed coffee into a cup, smiling as she said, “I’m Karina, general manager of Skyreach Group. Come, have a seat. Lillian should be here any minute p>
Nodding nervously, Layla walked over and carefully sat down on the sofa across from her.
Karina slid a cup of coffee toward her, her tone casual. “Try it. Nothing’s more enjoyable than a good cup of coffee when you’re busy p>
Layla thanked her softly, then lifted the cup and took a tentative sip, savoring the rich, smooth flavor.
The silence broke when the office door swung open.
Lillian walked in, spotting Layla in the lounge area. Smiling, she said, “Sorry, traffic was awful.” She set her backpack casually aside and crossed the room toward her desk.
Karina picked up another cup of freshly brewed coffee and set it in front of Lillian, her tone tinged with pride. “Try this; it’s a new blend I’ve been practicing. I think it turned out pretty good p>
Lillian smiled, lifting the cup and taking a small sip. Approval lit her eyes. “Not bad at all; you could open a cafe with this p>
She took another sip before setting the cup down on her desk.
Layla, watching the easy exchange between them, couldn’t help her confusion. Why is Ms. Karina treating her so respectfully? Could it be?
Lillian picked up a file from her desk and walked over to sit beside Layla. Her voice was calm but carried quiet authority. “Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Lillian, chairwoman of

Skyreach Group.” She believed that if she wanted to bring someone under her wing, sincerity had to come first; there was no reason to hide who she was.
Though Layla had guessed, hearing it confirmed still left her stunned. “You mean the Skyreach Group? The one in Solara? The one that’s won countless awards in the medical field p>
“That’s right. I’m pretty sure there’s only one Skyreach Group in all of Dracovia.” Lillian handed her the file. “I apologize if this feels intrusive, but I had some background information on you pulled. I hope you won’t mind p>
Puzzled, Layla accepted the folder and flipped it open. Even though she’d prepared herself, the words still cut her to pieces. Her hands trembled as she whispered, “Is all of this true p>
Lillian met the woman’s pained gaze. Though her heart ached, she nodded. “It’s true. Every word of it. Your husband has been with Ms. Nova for over a year now. As for your declining health these past six months, it’s because your husband has been slipping nitrite into your food. Given your education, I’m sure you understand exactly what that does. To make sure you’d leave with nothing, he began transferring his assets six months ago; he wanted to guarantee you wouldn’t see a single cent. Now do you understand p>
Even Lillian had been shocked when she’d first read the file; she hadn’t expected Layla’s husband’s mistress to be Nova. She never would have guessed that after leaving Killian, Nova would end up in Kingston.
Layla’s hands shook as she stared down at the words, silent tears dripping onto the pages, one by one, until they blurred the ink.
Lillian and Karina sat quietly beside her. Perhaps they’d both seen too much of the world, because beyond the ache in their chests, all they felt for her was quiet sympathy.
When her tears finally ran dry, Layla wiped the corners of her eyes and forced a fragile smile. “Sorry for letting you see me like this p>
Lillian pulled a tissue from the box and handed it to her. “I know it hurts—so much that it feels unbearable-but think of it this way, this pain will become part of your strength. So you have to be strong. Endure this storm, and when it’s over, your life will be something entirely new p>
