บท 148: Chapter 148

"P—Please… don't fire me. I… I really need the job. I need to feed Mackie…." Chloe said with a shaking voice. "Y—You can hit me if… if you're angry about last night…."

Vernon was astounded when he saw Chloe begging him with such a shaky voice. He never realized how much fear his sister-in-law had until he stared at her eyes and observed carefully. 

Chloe's eyes were unfocused. She tried to avert her gaze so she wouldn't have to meet Vernon's eyes. 

But she remembered that she had to continue staring at him, or he'd cut her salary— or even worse, fire her. 

Thus, Chloe mustered all her courage to stare at Vernon's scary hawk-like eyes, despite the fear growing in her heart.
