I naturally don't dare to voice my inner complaints and can only continue carefully reading this contract.
The previous clauses are still relatively normal, nothing more than requiring me not to do anything that would damage the Su family's reputation and not to betray Cedric Su.
I can understand all that.
But the content that follows leaves me dumbfounded.
The contract requires me to be like his first flower, Miss Camellia White.
So apart from my eyes, I must undergo major plastic surgery on my face and even make my figure similar to hers.
At the same time, there are strict regulations on dining etiquette and manner of speech.
Because in Cedric Su's eyes, only my eyes closely resemble Camellia White's, but in all other aspects, I need to infinitely approach her image.
My goodness, this is practically remaking me into another person!
I struggle to suppress the urge to roll my eyes.
With a smile on my face, I put down the contract and say to Housekeeper Chen, "I'm sorry, I need to think about it some more."
I've only been with the Su family for a month and have already received a million-dollar salary.
Although it can't compare to those sisters who have stayed for many years, it's already an astronomical figure for an ordinary college student like me.
I originally planned to take this money and leave, but I didn't expect there to be this development.
My hesitation clearly disappoints Housekeeper Chen.
He shakes his head and sighs, "Talia, do you think you can leave just because you want to?"
"What do you mean."
I am shocked.
I didn't expect this wealthy family to have such a dark side.
The person who introduced me said the Su family is as rich as a nation and pays salaries on time every month.
Seeing that the sisters have all left, if it weren't for this contract delaying me for a bit, I would have decided to take the money and leave tomorrow.
He said that people here are free to come and go, but no one is willing to leave.
But he never mentioned that there are such mandatory clauses!
Housekeeper Chen sighs, takes out the contract I signed before, and points to a certain place, "It's written here that you need to stay with the Su family for a full year.
During this period, in order to better fulfill your duties, you agree to make some changes.
Now it's just plastic surgery, and you can't accept it?"
I listen in shock.
This is not some kind of change, it's clearly turning me into Cedric Su's puppet!
I can't help but be curious about this Camellia White whom I've never met.
Just who is she to make Cedric Su so obsessed?
I keep a calm appearance and only say that I need to think about it some more.
That night, I quietly sneak to the back door of the Su family estate, wanting to slip away.
As soon as I touch the door handle, the alarm goes off.
In the blink of an eye, several guards wearing Tang suits flash out from behind the rockery and pavilion, surrounding me.
"Talia, where are you trying to go."
comes the voice of the housekeeper from behind me.
Before I can answer, I feel a wave of dizziness.
Housekeeper Chen appears behind me at some point.
"Talia, why can't you understand?"
Everything goes black before my eyes, and I completely lose consciousness.
It's over.
This time, I'm truly in over my head and can hardly protect myself...
When I open my eyes again, I find myself lying in an exquisitely decorated traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
The antique red wood furniture and the valuable paintings hanging on the walls all display the Su family's wealth.
I am startled.
Could they be using some ancient method of face-swapping to transform me?
I don't want to become someone else!
I try to struggle, but I am powerless and can only watch helplessly as several doctors in Tang suits walk back and forth.
At this moment, Haley Tang suddenly appears in front of me, smiling and saying, "Sister Talia, don't be afraid.
It's just a routine physical examination."
I let out a sigh of relief.
So it's just a physical examination.
Haley Tang continues, "Sister, why don't you want to become Cedric Su's wife? This is an opportunity that countless people dream of."
"Really."
I force a dry laugh, thinking to myself, if you want it, you can have it.
I'm not interested.
