Cindy’s smile was confident while her demeanor brimmed with superiority. It made iza narrow her eyes.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. But if you’re accusing our boss, I’ll make sure you regret it,” Cindy said.

Within a few years, Derick was making waves in both legal and illegal circles. His reputation struck fear into many.

As his girlfriend, the fact that someone could speak so rudely to them meant her dignity was being challenged.

Unable to contain her scom, Eliza taunted, “Scarlett, did you hire some perty crooks from the streets? They were calling you “boss” too, how amusing. You really do seem of these wild lads from the towns.”

His gaze was sharp as a blade, fixeden the calm Scarlett, “Scarlett, the surveillance footage shows that Melanie gave you the documents, which include our new product details. What more do you have to say?”

Not only did Scarlett betray him, but she also stole the company’s new product document. Was he really so looked down upon by Scarlett, for her to do such a thing? Scarlett met Derick’s piercing gaze and felt a pang of sadness. “So, you think took it?

“Stop your filthy talk. You look decent, but your mouth is definitely vile. What do you mean by ‘stole‘? Cindy was seething with rage.

Cindy had always looked up to Scarlett, and she had never been belittled this way.

Eliza gave Melanie a signal before she stepped forward defiantly. “Scarlett, this is our chat history where you instructed me to steal the company’s new product documents. I also have evidence of the ten thousand dollars you transferred to my card. I worked at Jones Corporation for two years, and I feel deeply regretful about what I did. So, I went to Mr. Jones and confessed”

Scarlett looked at her and smiled coldly. “So, you consider yourself a righteous person? I haven’t used thy phone for a month. How could have instructed you? And how could you be so sure that the money in your account came from me?”

“It was you who paid me. You were forced to leave the company and wanted revenge, so you stole the new product documents,” Melanie said with a smirk while being bolstered by Eliza’s support.

Cindy gave a slight nod. “Melanie, we have the entire process of you stealing the new product documents. But instead of giving it to our boss, you sold it to someone named Harris Bailey. The stolen documents have already been sold.

*Fabricated?” Cindy’s laugh was tinged with scorn. “Ms. Miller, you must be blind. If you’re such an idiot, maybe don’t go looking for trouble. If you think this video is take, why don’t you show me how to make one?

Diza was flusteredby Cindy’s bluntness, “How dare you speak to me in this manner? What kind of upbringing do you have?” She was fuming inside, but couldn’t bog herselt to eurse in front of Derick.
