Chapter 44

“That’s great! With Director Hart and Mr. Logan’s help, you’ll definitely be fine!” Tilly let out a sigh of relief when she heard Logan’s words as Myra returned to her senses.

Then, Myra looked past Tilly’s shoulder and saw Sasha and Lily, who were both standing behind her.

Myra never had a good impression of Sasha in the beginning, but now, she finally saw what an awful person the latter was.

On the other hand, Sasha felt a little guilty when she met Myra’s gaze, but she immediately lifted her head in arrogance as she walked over. “Myra, I can’t believe that you don’t even have the courage to admit your mistake. No wonder Sean always looks down on you!”

Myra instantly smiled with anger. No one else is better at talking nonsense than her.

“Then, who do you think will fall for you?” She could not suppress her anger any more, so she coldly gazed at Sasha. “You failed to seduce him, so you are now trying to frame me. Sasha, is this project really that important to you? Is it so important that you are willing to abandon all of your morality?!”

The moment Sasha heard the word ‘seduce’ from Myra’s mouth, her expression changed slightly.

“Myra, don’t you dare slander me. How dare you try to insult me when Mr. Logan and you are in a clandestine affair! I’ve already shown enough respect to you, so don’t push your limits!”

“I think you are the one who is taking this too far!” Myra took a deep breath. “Do you know why Director Hart didn’t immediately believe your words when you accused me of plagiarism?” Sasha was now tightly clenching her fists while Myra revealed a disdainful smile on her face. “It’s because just like me, he knows what kind of a person you are!”

After that, Myra left with Tilly.

When they left, Tilly vented her anger by wearing a triumphant expression and she coldly grunted as she walked past Sasha.

Sasha immediately felt a sense of rage surging from her chest, as if it was about to explode.

Beside her, Lily’s face was already pale when Tony cast his gaze at her earlier. After listening to Myra’s words, she grabbed Sasha’s hand while breathing heavily. “Miss Hay, don’t you think we should admit to it? Maybe Director Hart will consider preserving our dignity—”

“Do you know what you are saying?!” Sasha swept Lily’s hand aside, but when she noticed the crowd was looking at them in shock, she lowered her voice and whispered, “If we admit to it, everything will be over! Don’t worry, they won’t find any evidence to prove that we did it. You just need to keep your back straightened all the time!” However, when she saw that Lily’s eyes were still full of fear, her eyes sharpened as she murmured. “Miss Torres, you know how capable the Hay Family is, right? Even though we aren’t the wealthiest family in Bradfort City, it won’t be difficult for us to fire a designer…”

Instantly, Lily’s expression changed as she lowered her head and mumbled, “I know what to do, Miss Hay.”

Back at the Chase Group, everyone from the front desk to the Design Department were completely quiet, but when Myra and Tilly walked past them, they immediately pricked their ears.

“Have you heard about it? When Miss Stark gave her presentation to the Hart Group just now, she actually used the Hay Group’s design plan. That’s blatant plagiarism!”

“That is so embarrassing. Isn’t she directly discrediting the Chase Group?”

“I even heard that the design plan Miss Stark brought was filled with caricatures of Director Hart. She failed to seduce Director Chase, so she now has a new target. What an embarrassment.”

However, Myra remained silent.

On the other hand, Tilly looked upset. Miss Stark probably knew that something was wrong with the design plan, so she did not take it up on stage with her. In the end, I stupidly opened it in front of everyone, landing her in an even worse position.

“It’s all because of Elsie. She is the one who secretly changed the blueprint and caused Miss Stark to be humiliated. Miss Stark—”

“Tilly, you are badmouthing me again!” Before Tilly had the chance to finish her words, Elsie showed up from nowhere and interrupted. Then, she stood arrogantly in front of them with a malicious intent in her eyes. “I’ve heard that Myra was blatantly plagiarizing the Hay Group’s designs while presenting her report to the Hart Group. Myra, if you don’t have the capability to secure the Sunny Bay Project, please don’t blame it all on me. It only shows how low you are!”

Upon seeing her face, Myra could feel the rage slowly rising from her heart. I knew I was overly kind to her back then. I should have just kicked her out of the company when I had the chance last time!

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be in this predicament! “Tilly, follow me to the surveillance room. I want to check the surveillance video for this afternoon!”

She forcefully resisted the urge to slap the woman in front of her in the face.

Just as Myra turned, she could hear Elsie’s sneer from behind. “Surveillance video? The surveillance room was under repair at noon. Didn’t you know about it? Or, is it because… you already knew it, so you are now purposely using it as an excuse to escape from your responsibility?”

“You!”

“What about me?” Upon seeing her pale and devastated face, Elsie let out a long-awaited giggle. “Oh, right. Miss Stark, Director Chase is now in the director’s office. He asked me to bring you there with me!”

The Design Department had mainly consisted of women, so their earlier argument drew a lot of attention from the people around them.

Tilly wanted to follow them, but Elsie immediately halted her. “I’m sorry, Tilly. Director Chase didn’t ask you to come along with us.”

Tilly was furious, but after seeing Myra’s gloomy face, she could only stomp her foot and worriedly watched her leaving.

On the way, Myra knew clearly in her heart that she was set up by someone. How is it possible that my design plan was swapped by someone on the day when the surveillance room was under renovation? I remember that when I met Sasha and Lily at the Hart Group’s lobby today, the two of them were still intensely studying their design plan. Also, Lily seemed like she was remembering the data at that time!

They only had more than three hours to look through my design plan, which is enough, but when the data was involved, they definitely wouldn’t have the sufficient time to study all of it! That is why Lily was simply memorizing the data word by word because she knew that there wasn’t enough time!

Suddenly, she felt that her breath had stopped as she tightly clenched her fists. When they were about to arrive at the director’s office, they could see two figures exiting the room at the same time—it was Sasha and Lily!

Instantly, Myra’s eyes twitched the moment she saw them.

Then, Sasha came over with Lily and gently explained, “Myra, don’t worry. I’ve already explained everything to Sean. The Hay Group won’t hold you accountable for this and we won’t spread any rumors either.”

When Myra heard Elsie’s giggle from next to her, she gritted her teeth. “Thank you for your kindness, but before everything is clear, don’t you think you are getting ahead of yourself?”

“Is that so…” Sasha remained calm as she murmured softly, “Myra, for Sean’s sake, I won’t blame you —no matter what happens from now on.”

After that, she left with the silent Lily behind her.

Meanwhile, Elsie gleefully turned toward Myra’s gloomy look. “You can enter now. Director Chase and the others have been waiting for a while.”

After taking a few deep breaths with her head lowered, Myra pushed open the door of the director’s room.

The room was completely quiet as there seemed to be an eerie silence in the atmosphere.

As soon as she entered the room, she walked straight to Sean.

At that moment, the man in front of her was leaning against his armchair while his eyes were slightly closed. He supported his forehead with one hand while the other held onto a piece of draft paper. His eyes were now extremely cold and his thin lips were tightly pressed. It was not hard to see that he was now in a bad mood.

“Director Chase…” Myra’s fingers twitched as she called him with a husky voice.

Suddenly, Sean opened his dashing narrow eyes to reveal the chill in his eyes, which was enough to make her tremble. “What is this?!”
