Slap!
Alice slapped with all her might, causing Courtney to directly slump on the table.
When she fell onto the table, she knocked over the teacups on the conference table.
Clank!
Tea splashed everywhere and onto Courtney’s pants. She looked extremely wretched.
Alice glared at her. Her eyes were filled with resentment and hatred. “You are not worthy of asking me
whether I have a conscience or not! All this while, I have treated you as my friend, yet you kept doing
harmful things to the Lynch Group!
“I have already taken on the blame for hurting Arianna and uploading the video, yet you still want me to
take on the blame for taking the video? Do you have a conscience or not?“
Courtney clenched her fists tightly upon Alice’s words. She bit her lips, raised her head, and looked at
Joshua.
“Mr. Lynch, no! This is not how it is! Granny Lynch got me this job! I will never do anything that hurts the
Lynch Group! “
Joshua smiled. “So what’s with the video?“
Courtney gritted her teeth. “I was the one who took the video, but it was Alice who got me to take it!“
“Just because you said it, does that mean I truly did it?“ Alice said overbearingly, “You have no proof!
Courtney, show us proof! “ Courtney was stunned.
Proof. She had no proof.
All this time, Alice took the initiative to become friends with her. Courtney thought that with the help of her
good friend, Alice, she could climb up the social ladder into the upper class.
Although there was no hope in marrying Joshua anymore, the Lynch family was a powerful family. As a
good friend of Granny Lynch, marrying into another wealthy family was not bad either.
That was why she treated Alice as her last resort, so she would not try to get evidence for every matter.
“You can’t prove it, can’t you?“ Alice sneered. She took a recording device out of her pocket.
“You don’t have any proof, but I do.“ Then, Alice pressed the play button.
Courtney’s voice rang through the entire quiet conference room from the recording device.
“Alice, this video can take Luna down! Upload it to the internet quickly! “
“It won’t be too good to upload it now, right? Let’s forget about it.“
“How could we forget about it? This is a good opportunity to take Luna down! I’m happy just thinking
about how Luna can’t be a jewelry designer
anymore in the future because of plagiarism! See how arrogant she could be! “
When the recording finished playing back, Courtney’s legs had turned into jelly and she had slumped
onto the ground.
She did indeed say that the day before. When she was talking to Alice the day before, she was still
confused as to why Alice was being so timid.
She never would have thought that Alice had already planned a way out for herself.
Looking at Courtney, Luna closed her eyes rather helplessly. Others might not understand Courtney, but
she understood her.
How could Courtney trick Alice? Courtney was just someone who naively fantasized about being
Joshua’s wife after being his secretary. How could she fool Alice?
If Courtney was really the one who tricked Alice, she should be the one taking the recording out and not
Alice.
However, even if Luna knew that Courtney was just a scapegoat, she had no other evidence to prove
that Alice was the one who was skilled in scheming.
“Shannon, Shannon! “ When Courtney had nothing else she could do, she climbed down from the table.
She frantically crawled to Shannon and tugged on the sleeve of her pants.
“Help me say something! I’m not this type of person! “
Shannon furrowed her brows, although she was unwilling, Courtney was still her junior after all.
She lifted her head and looked at Luna. “Director Luna, a-are you willing to be more lenient toward her?”
Upon Courtney’s words, Alice smiled. “Ms. Luna would never let her go. Didn’t everyone forget how Ms.
Luna threatened with her resignation just now? She must get the main culprit punished.”
Then, Alice swept Luna a glance. “Ms. Luna, am I right?”
