"Matthew insulted the Clark family's daughter. They definitely won't let this go," Rachel said, Sara's voice still echoing in her mind.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the door rattled, followed by an angry shout from outside.
"Come out! I saw someone open the door just now! Open up! If you don't, I'll break it down!"
Rachel went pale with worry and turned to Tracy, asking, ''What should we do?''
Tracy put a finger to her lips, signaling for Rachel to stay silent. The latter nodded, covering her mouth with her hand and anxiously watching the door.
The sound of someone kicking the door grew louder with each strike.
The desk Tracy had pushed against the door was shoved aside, and a gap began to appear in the door. Andrew saw Rachel inside and roared, "Rachel! Open this door right now! You Carters have some nerve, bullying my sister."
It was the first time Rachel had faced such a situation.
She tried to stay calm and said, "Mr. Clark, I'm very sorry about what happened. I didn't want this either. Ms. Clark knows I've always treated her with the utmost respect. Can we resolve this calmly?"
"Calmly? That's a joke!" Andrew shouted, his voice brimming with anger. "The Carters must be out of their minds! A mere chauffeur dared to mess with my sister? What are you trying to pull?"
With a sharp crack, the door broke apart, sending pieces of wood scattering across the room.
Rachel stumbled back in fear, fully realizing the gravity of the situation. She knew she needed to admit fault first to calm things down before seeking a solution.
She said, "Mr. Clark, I'm aware that our company is also responsible for what that pervert did to Ms. Clark, since he's one of our employees…"
Andrew stepped over the broken door and into the room, his voice rising with fury. "What did you just say?" he demanded. "That chauffeur did something so vile to Sara?"
He'd known that Sara was crying because she'd been bullied, but he hadn't realized it was due to something vile Matthew had done to her.
