The elevator doors slid open with a ding.
Naomi walked out of the elevator with Ashlyn, obviously in a good mood. Meanwhile, Helena, who was behind them, felt her legs weaken. She would have difficulty walking out of the elevator if her assistant did not help her.
Ashlyn's eyes flickered. She is staying on the fifth floor too?
“It was unexpected that my brother acted so quickly to seek revenge for me. It's amazing.” Naomi turned and grabbed Ashlyn's hand happily. Ashlyn raised her brows as she heard that.
Although Lucas had a cold expression and appeared indifferent, he had never shirked his responsibility being an elder brother even though he was not the biological son of the Nolan family.
He was always strict with Naomi and Blair on the outside as well.
Helena's assistant helped her get back to her room by supporting her cold body.
As they entered the room, Helena acted as if she had gone crazy. She grabbed and squeezed her assistant's hand before shouting, “Naomi is such a b*tch!”
Her assistant yelped at the sudden pain. “Ms. Helena, please stop...”
Helena was so enraged that she vented her anger on her assistant, squeezing the latter's hand with all her might.
Within a few minutes, the hands and legs of her assistant were full of bruises.
Her assistant could not hold back her tears anymore. She pleaded to Helena incessantly, “Ms. Helena, I beg you. Please let go of me!”
“You b*tch! You're completely relying on me for a living. Your mom would be dead in the hospital if I didn't pay you a high salary. You're hopeless like Naomi. You can't even do a great job at bearing the brunt of my anger!” Helena grasped her phone and flung it toward her assistant.
Her assistant could not help but dodge. Yet, the phone hit right on the arch of her brow. Her eye instantly swelled up, and her tears started rolling down her cheeks.
She had no choice but to grit her teeth and suffer in silence.
Helena was violent and temperamental. She was not easy to get along with, in contrast to her innocent face.
Helena had always maltreated her assistant. It was common for the former to hit or scold the latter.
Her assistant had low academic qualifications and could not get herself another job. On top of that, she needed money for her mother's medical fees as her mom was ill.
