I was only trying to print our seven-year-old daughter Lily’s math worksheet because my laptop would not connect to the printer.

“Get on your knees and beg,” she sneered, dumping a glass of champagne over my maid’s uniform as the guests laughed. I lowered my eyes, pretending to be humiliated—until the billionaire owner walked into the room. “Why is she on the floor?” he demanded. The woman froze.
