My Wealthy Boss Revealed His Hidden Locket Before His Wife Framed Me
Previously: When Emily, a humble maid, is unjustly fired, her wealthy boss Robert risks everything to confess his love—but a bitter setup threatens to ruin them both forever.
A Wicked Trap is Sprung
The sweet warmth of the kiss was instantly shattered by a sharp, venomous gasp echoing from above. Looking up, Emily saw Victoria and Robert’s mother, Eleanor, descending the grand wooden staircase. Victoria’s face was twisted in absolute fury, while Eleanor looked on with cold, aristocratic disgust that made Emily feel smaller than ever.
"How dare you touch that filthy servant in this house!" Victoria shrieked, her expensive heels clicking loudly against the cherry wood floors. "Robert, have you lost your mind? She is nothing but a thief!"
Robert stepped firmly in front of Emily, shielding her from their wrath with his own body. "The wedding is off, Victoria," he declared, his voice echoing in the vast foyer with absolute certainty. "I am choosing Emily. I don't care about the inheritance, and I don't care about this family's reputation anymore."
Eleanor gasped, clutching her pearls in disbelief. But Victoria merely smiled, a terrifying, triumphant expression crossing her face. She pulled a dazzling diamond necklace from her designer coat pocket—the famous Sterling family heirloom, worth millions. It caught the light, sparkling with a cold, malicious brilliance.
"You think you can just walk away with her?" Victoria sneered, stepping closer. "I’ve already called the police. I reported this heirloom stolen from my room, and I made sure the officers know exactly where to look for the culprit."
With a dramatic gesture, Victoria pointed to Emily’s open suitcase on the floor. Peeking out from beneath a folded white apron was the unmistakable glitter of diamonds. Emily gasped, her heart dropping into her stomach. She had been framed, and the sound of approaching police sirens was already wailing in the distance, echoing through the long driveway. Robert looked at his mother, realizing she had helped orchestrate this wicked trap to destroy the woman he loved.
