"Don’t just stand there, come sit down and try my cooking. I haven’t done this in years, so I hope I haven’t lost my touch!"

Summer Shawcross glanced at her but didn’t sit down.

"I have something to discuss with you!" Seeing that she didn’t sit, Sister Snow’s expression turned serious.

"As it happens, I have something to discuss with you as well!" Summer glanced at Sister Snow before walking up to her.

Just as Sister Snow was wondering what she meant, Summer suddenly raised her hand, gripping her shoulder with one hand and holding her neck with the other.

In her hand, she held a sharp brow razor!

Although it was her first time doing something like this, she tried her best to remain calm.

"What are you doing?" Sister Snow’s face showed a hint of surprise at Summer’s actions.

"I want you to let me leave this place!" Summer bit her lip. She had to leave here!

There were still many things she hadn’t figured out!

"I’ve told you, I can’t let you go!" Despite the threat, Sister Snow showed no fear and spoke calmly.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll act?" Summer asked fiercely upon hearing this.

"Even if you kill me, it won’t help. I can’t let you leave." Sister Snow remained stubborn as ever.

"Why?" Summer was full of doubt, who was behind Sister Snow?

She couldn’t understand why someone would keep her here, yet treat her so well!

Just as she was puzzled, Sister Snow’s voice softly rose.

"If I let you go, I’ll be a dead woman too."

Summer’s expression was one of shock...

Did she mean that if she let her go, the people behind her wouldn’t let her off either?

Even though she wasn’t sure if it was just an excuse, hearing those words, Summer’s expression changed, showing a hint of hesitation.

As she was lost in thought, Sister Snow’s voice rang out again.

"Instead of resorting to violence, why don’t we sit down and have a good talk."

Summer gritted her teeth, her face still showing displeasure.

"Why don’t we strike a deal?" Seeing her silence, Sister Snow continued.

"A deal?" Summer showed a curious expression.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally loosened her grip. She didn’t want to kill anyone and knew that she wouldn’t be allowed to leave anyway!

She had to think of another way.

Seeing her release her grip, Sister Snow smiled, then pointed to the seat at the dining table, smiling at her.

"Please, sit."

Summer glanced at her, then cautiously sat down across from her.

Sister Snow also sat down opposite her, looked up at Summer, and seriously proposed.

"As long as you agree to stay here, I’m willing to give you half of Silvanus Manor’s profits and... make you the second most powerful person here, after me. What do you think?"

Hearing her words, Summer was shocked.

As long as she stayed here, she’d get a promotion and... half of the manor’s profits? 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Silvanus Manor was vast, its guests were wealthy elites from all over the country, and annual revenues were undoubtedly substantial. She couldn’t understand why the other side would go to such great lengths and costs, just to keep her here.
