For a moment, I felt a little guilty.
you INU, I
I never knew that while I was giving to others,
being hurt by others, somewhere I didn’t
know, someone had been waiting for me.
“No, I don’t have anyone I like, Henry. We can
give it a serious try.”
With my response, Henry’s lips curled into a
smile, then he turned back to the road.
The doctor reset my arm. I winced in pain,
and Henry stood by, chuckling.
When I looked at him, his face flushed
slightly.
L
What were Michael and Matthew doing now?
They were probably by Ashley’s side,
showering her with their sincere love and
concern.
I sighed. Henry, seeing my downcast mood,
didn’t stay any longer. He dropped me off at
home and left quickly.
I turned on my phone and contacted the
finance department. Just as I was about to
ask him to send me all the financial
statements, I saw a message in the chat box
from not long ago:
【Miss Emily, you’ve helped me a lot in the
past. I have to warn you about something.】
Mchley is plotting against you be careful!
L
Looking at these two messages, I estimated
the time. It was after the dinner.
In other words, the “plotting” here didn’t refer
to using Michael’s phone to trick me into
coming.
Then what was she planning?
I didn’t ask further, silently putting down my
phone.
Whatever she was planning, it had nothing to
do with me anymore.
Now I just wanted to get my dividends back,
then cut ties with the company and them
completely.
With that thought, I fell into a deep sleep, only
<
to be woken up before dawn by the incessant
vibration of my phone.
It was Michael calling.
As soon as I answered, his angry shouts came
from the other end.
“Emily, you despicable, shameless villain.”
“I knew why you insisted on seeing the
financial statements! It was to steal our
documents and take them to please that
man!”
I was stunned by his barrage of accusations.
“Michael, are you even being reasonable
now? You took the statements yesterday and
locked them in the safe. I left right after.
vvnen aia i ever touch any other aocuments?
Michael was like a madman, completely deaf
to my explanations.
“Everyone in the company is someone I trust.
Besides you, who else could do such a low-
down thing?”
Too tired to argue with him, I hung up and
drove straight to the company.
Early in the morning, everyone was already
there.
Ashley, who was pretending to be allergic
yesterday, was now surrounded by everyone,
analyzing my “motives” for the crime.
I strode forward, grabbed Ashley’s hair, and
<
pulled her up from the boss’s chair.
“If your mouth can’t speak properly, you can
just shut up. Do you feel uncomfortable if you
don’t make up lies about me for a day?”
“Pull up the company’s surveillance footage.
Let’s see who actually stole the files!”
Ashley grimaced in pain as I pulled her hair,
but her voice remained calm.
“Miss Emily, didn’t you know? Our company’s
surveillance has been broken for a long time.”
“If I remember correctly, you’ve always been
in charge of that.”
I loosened my grip, and Ashley fell back into
the chair.
Г
Michael and Matthew, who were just walking
into the office, saw this scene and
immediately lunged at me.
“Emily, how dare you hurt Ashley!”
“You betrayed us, stole our confidential
information and gave it to Henry, all for your
own benefit, right?”
“Emily, after all these years we’ve known each
other, you actually resorted to such
unscrupulous means to treat us like this,
you’re shameless!”
My body trembled with anger. Seeing that I
was speechless, Ashley’s mouth became even
busier.
L
“Brothers, Miss Emily must be angry with me,
that’s why she did this to punish me.”
“I’m sorry, Miss Emily, I’m willing to apologize,
just please don’t take it out on the whole
company, don’t drag everyone down with
you…”
Michael gritted his teeth and looked at me,
his voice filled with determination.
“Emily, to please that rich guy, you actually
betrayed the company we built together.”
“I’m going to spread the word about this and
let the whole industry see…”
Before he could finish, a cold voice sounded
from behind me.
Г
“Your crappy little secrets, to please me?”
“Are you guys telling jokes?”
I turned around and saw Henry, dressed
casually, holding a lunchbox, standing there
with his arms crossed.
When our eyes met, he smiled and put the
lunchbox in my hands.
“I was going to bring you lunch, but you
weren’t there.”
“You really have the leisure to come see
these idiots even though you know it’s a set-
up.”
For some reason, I detected a hint of
petulance in Henry’s voice
petulance in Henry’s voice.
