Chapter 45

I had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Never before had I felt so light and free. My life would no longer be entangled with Lilith starting today. I turned to leave, but Lilith's furious roar echoed behind me. "Bastard, what do you mean by this?" "Sorry, Ms. Storm. Our contract has expired. I'm no longer an employee of Storm Corporation, so you have no authority to order me around." "What did you say?" I couldn't be bothered to respond and kept walking. Lilith abruptly blocked my path and yelled, "Stop! You're my dog! I won't let you leave! How dare you try to walk away?" The crowd erupted in shock as all eyes turned toward us. I stood among the crowd and was forced to endure everyone's scrutiny. Their gazes felt like arrows stabbing into me. I lifted my eyes calmly to meet Lilith's and said coldly, "Ms. Storm, I've made myself clear. Our contract has ended. I only endured working for you for the past three years because of your father, not you." Lilith sneered.
