Chapter 41: Video Evidence


    The next day, J went to work.Her stomach churned with unease the entire time.She knew that Ike


    wouldn’t spare her for what happenedst night.


    As soon as she arrived at her desk and sat down, Ike stormed out of his office and threw a stack of


    documents on her table.


    "You are fired! Pack your things and get out of here now!"


    J picked up the documents and looked at them — they were all design drafts she had previously


    submitted.


    "May I know why you’re firing me, Mr.Lyman?" she asked calmly.


    There was still a Band-Aid on the bridge of his nose to cover the injury he had sufferedst night.


    His eyes were zing with rage.


    J’s words reminded him of the way he was humiliatedst night.


    "You’re ipetent for your current position!" he spat venomously.


    "Pack your things and get out of the Larson Group.You’re just a graduate.I’ll make sure you don’t flourish


    in the fashion field, ever.As long as I’m in the industry, you won’t be able to get a job, let alone seed


    in your career."


    "You already approved my designs.Why do you say I’m ipetent now?"


    J retorted, clutching her design documents.


    Her sharp gaze met his, and she didn’t seem afraid in the slightest.


    Ike’s screams drew the attention of other employees.


    Everyone stopped working and looked up at them.


    "That’s right.Mr.Lyman.We have already started executing Lind’s design n after you approved them,"


    said one of J’s colleagues.


    J had a good rtionship with everyone in the department, and her colleagues liked and respected


    her.


    "Is there any misunderstanding? Mr.Lyman, we all have witnessed Lind’s exceptional talent.She is


    dynamic and diligent." Ike’s face darkened when he saw his colleagues standing up for J.


    He cleared his throat and said, "There is no misunderstanding.The design n is changed now.She is


    fired! I’ll pick a new design from what you all submitted earlier.No more questions! I’m the director.If I say


    she is ipetent, it means she is!"


    The people around fell silent and cast a sympathetic look at J.


    By now, everyone guessed that J had offended Ike in some way, and that was probably why he was


    firing her.Ike had made his decision.


    Moreover, he was a respected senior designer in the design industry, and no one dared to question his


    decisions or argue with him.


    J breathed a long sigh of relief.


    Considering what happenedst night, she knew things would end this way.She gritted her teeth and


    sorted her designs, preparing to pack her things.Her heart sank at the knowledge that she wasn’t an


    employee of the Larson Group anymore.


    "Wait!" said an intimidating male voice.


    J looked up and found that it was Garrett.


    He nced at J and walked toward Ike.


    "Lyman, someone has filed a report stating that you have molested a female employee in thepany


    and attempted to rape her."


    Everyone in the design department burst into an uproar.


    All eyes turned toward Ike as they eyed him with scrutiny.


    "What? Mr.Harding, I would never do such a thing.Someone must have filed aint against me on


    purpose, just to ruin my reputation," Ike said, shaking his head fiercely.


    At that moment, Christopher walked into the design department.


    "You would never do such a thing?" He glowered at Ike.


    "Yesterday, I saw you forcefully take Miss Lind to a dinner party and threaten her with her job." Ike grew


    tense.


    "You’re just making groundless usations!" he snorted coldly.


    "I thought Lind had potential, so I proposed to take her to a party held for designersst night.I wanted to


    introduce her to some designers and help her.I didn’t mean to molest her at all." J clenched her fists


    and red at the man.


    Bile rose in her throat.


    She couldn’t believe he had the audacity to lie after what happened.


    "Let’s see the evidence first.Only then will we know whether it’s true or not."


    A knowing smile emerged on Garrett’s face.His assistant immediately opened theptop and yed a


    video.


    The ce looked like a hotel corridor.


    The door of an elevator opened, and J wanted to get in, but Ike dragged J out.

    Her hair was disheveled, the panic evident in her eyes.


    She struggled desperately as Ike tried dragging her into a room.


    “Is this how you help an employee?" Garrett sneered, his face red with rage.
