    Chapter<b>141</b><b>:</b>Elevator Incident


    No matter if Sylvia really had evidence or not, Ingle knew she wouldn’t admit it now. If she did, things would go downhill fast for her.


    “You don’t want to talk about it, huh?”


    Seeing Ingle’s reaction, Juliet knew she’d never admit to doing it herself. Who would willingly face such consequences?


    First off, she’d have to pay back the money. And if things escted, there could be jail time. No one would be foolish enough tond themselves in that mess.


    “Besides this, we have something even more interesting. Like sellingpany files to otherpanies. That’s straight–up industrial espionage, isn’t it? How many years do you think you’d get for that?”


    Juliet’s face wore a gentle smile, but her words were as if only a devil could utter them.


    Ingle’s face went pale. Her makeup couldn’t hide her fear.<b>If</b>such words could be spoken<b>,</b><b>it</b>meant the evidence was already secured.


    “I didn’t do any of those things!”


    “Of course, I know you didn’t do any of those. You don’t have the guts for it. At most,<b>you</b>might transfer somepany assets. But this level of corporate espionage? I don’t think you have it in you, especially considering your family’s situation isn’t that great, from what I know.<b>”</b>


    Seeing Ingle so anxious,<b>it</b>was clear she didn’t have the courage for such deeds. Someone with that courage wouldn’t disy their fear so obviously.


    Ingle regretted her words as soon as she said them. She had indeed offended Sylvia, but that didn’t mean she could afford to offend anyone else.


    And those behind her mightpletely abandon her, leaving her to bear such a heavy


    burden alone.


    <b>“</b><b>I</b>have a n now.<b>If</b>you keep listening to me, I<b>won’t</b>pursue your responsibility. I’ll give you time and opportunity to make up for thepany’s transferred assets. Once you’ve made


    <b>up</b>


    for it<b>,</b><b>you</b>won’t have to worry about the<b>rest</b>. How about it?”


    Sylvia offered a better deal at the right moment, Ingle was already nervous, and with Sylvia having more evidence now, she had no choice.

    further consequences.


    So, if she missed this opportunity, there wouldn’t be another.


    “Fine, I agree.”


    Sylvia smiled. Agreement was the best oue.


    After Ingle left, Sylvia and Juliet nned to grab a meal somewhere.

    Juliet found a nice restaurant nearby. It was said to be popr,<b>so</b>she eagerly dragged Sylvia along.


    On the way, Juliet started asking Sylvia’s opinion: should they coborate with Frank?


    “Frank’s attitude is quite interesting. I know he’s friends with Cyril<b>,</b>but I didn’t expect him to involve Cyril in our coboration. But without Cyril, coborating with Frank would’ve been straightforward.”


    They had done their research beforeing. They knew Frank’s personality well. So, they had nned their coboration with him beforehand, and it would’ve worked out. Cyril’s involvement made things a bit difficult.


    “What do you think? If we coborate with Frank, chances are you’ll have more


    opportunities to meet Cyril. Especially when you go back, Frank might give him the chance to interact with you under thepany’s name.”


    After divorcing, why bother clinging on like a piece of gum? Sylvia had been good to Cyril before, no need to say more. Now that Cyril had divorced her, suddenly realizing her worth was quiteughable.


    “I know, but Frank has a point. We’re businessmen now. Profitse first. In the face of profits, everything else can wait.”


    “So, you’re suggesting we continue coborating with Frank?”


    “Yes.”


    Frank’s conditions were suitable for their coboration in all aspects. After looking at manypanies, Sylvia decided<b>to</b>coborate with him for good reasons. As for Cyril, she could find other reasons to fend him off.


    Since Sylvia had made her decision, Juliet didn’t say much. She knew persuading Sylvia wouldn’t work. Once Sylvia made up her mind, she wouldn’t change it.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    “Well<b>,</b>since you’re set on it<b>,</b>okay.<b>”</b>


    They arrived at the restaurant only to unexpectedly meet Frank and Cyril again.

    Yes, Frank didn’t n to dine with Cyril originally, but he thought it’d be dull to dine alone. So, he decided<b>to</b>bring Cyril along. Cyril was feeling annoyed and decided to go out for some fresh air, hence he tagged along.


    Unexpectedly<b>,</b>they got a pleasant surprise.


    They could tell Cyril’s eyes lit up the moment he saw Sylvia.


    Frank sighed inwardly, thinking if he hadn’te along today<b>,</b>Cyril probably wouldn’t have had the chance to talk to Sylvia.


    “Miss Juliet, I’d like to discuss something with you in private, do you have the time?”


    “Absolutely not!”


    Juliet knew exactly what was going through Frank’s mind and promptly refused. But Frank acted as if he didn’t hear her and grabbed her wrist<b>,</b>pulling her away forcefully.


    “What do you think you’re doing? Let go!”


    Juliet didn’t expect Frank to forcibly drag her away like this. It was outrageous!


    Sylvia saw this and figured Juliet wouldn’t be back for a while. She decided to wait upstairs.


    In the elevator<b>,</b>it was just Sylvia and Cyril. Cyril felt nervous, a feeling he had never experienced before. But being around Sylvia made him unsure how to speak.


    Just when he was preparing himself to speak, the elevator suddenly shook, and the next moment, all lights inside went out, plunging them into darkness.


    “What’s happening?”


    Cyril was startled. Then, the elevator rapidly descended. Instinctively, he grabbed Sylvia’s wrist and pulled her into his embrace.


    <b>“</b>Don’t be afraid.”
