Chapter 178
Rosalie noticed Debra’s displeasure and reprimanded the maid, “How could you be so careless? Hurry up and prepare clothes for change.”
“I’m sorry, Miss. I’ll get clean clothes for you right away,” the maid apologized profusely, keeping her head down.
Rosalie explained to Debra, “She’s new here and clumsy. I hope you don’t mind.”
Then she turned back to the maid and ordered, “Take the lady upstairs to change her clothes.”
“Yes, madam,” the maid replied nervously, guiding Debra upstairs.
Debra glanced back at Rosalie, feeling a sense of unease. But considering it was the family banquet, she didn’t think Rosalie would play any tricks.
The maid led Debra into a guest room on the second floor and handed her the prepared clothes.
“Please change here, Miss. I’ll wait outside.”

There came the lecherous voice of a man. She recognized the voice. It
was Erick.
She tried to stay conscious, but her body collapsed onto the sofa uncontrollably. Erick locked the door behind him and rubbed his hands together.
Approaching, he said, “Stop resisting. Since Juan doesn’t want you, I’ll take you.”
“Go away!” Debra tried to push him away, but she couldn’t muster any strength.
“Rosalie said after today, you’re mine. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you,” Erick said.
His voice made her sick to her stomach.
