Chapter 317


    Pleasantly surprised, J looked up from her phone and sneered at the HR staff. Then she began to


    type out her reply to Brandon.


    “Miss Lind, please sign on the resignation notice,” the staff member said through gritted teeth. She


    grew angrier when she saw that J began to tinker with her phone.


    Ignoring her, J texted Brandon back.


    “Are you serious, Mr. Larson? What did you find?”


    The message from Brandon was a godsend. She was just about to ept the fact that the Larson


    Group had given up on her.


    Brandon replied with a long message. “Upon investigating the matter, we found out that Lester Silk


    Fabric took over the tform recently. Luna didn’t upload the design drafts a year ago, but a few days


    ago. The data was tampered with. Lester Silk Fabric used their connections and managed to get to


    your works before the show officially began. They asked Luna to make a collection based on your


    works and posted them on the tform. They tampered with the date and time stamp of the post to


    frame you for giarism.”


    J had already guessed that it was Lester Silk Fabric behind this, but she had no idea how they did


    it.


    “How did you find that out?”


    The tform was now owned by Lester Silk Fabric. How could they have let Brandon investigate them?


    “We have tech guys here. They were the ones who found evidence of them tampering with the


    tform’s database. Even if they had altered the original date of uploading, our tech guys were able to


    retrieve it. We also have a video confession of the staff who tampered with the data.” Brandon’s words


    lifted a weight off of J’s heart.


    He sent two videos to J and said, “We’ve done what we could. You should be able to take it from


    here now, right?”


    All of a sudden, J felt a surge of energy. She stood up with a confident smile and said to the HR


    staff member, “I didn’t do anything wrong and I knew that thepany won’t fire me because of some


    groundless usation!” As she spoke, she tucked her phone away.


    The staff member gritted her teeth and red at her angrily. “J Lind, you giarized someone


    else’s work yet you feel no shame?”


    J ignored her. She turned around and left without looking back.

    Tiffany looked up in surprise when J entered her office. “What’s up, Lind?”


    “Miss Fisher, can I have Ritchie Lester’s number?” J asked politely. In Tiffany’s eyes, she looked


    inexplicably rxed, as though her career wasn’t in danger.


    Tiffany looked at her warily and then nodded slowly. “I have his number, but may I ask why you need


    it?”


    “I want to call him and apologize,” J answered simply.


    “Lind, are you crazy? Go back to work. You didn’t giarize anything, so keep a low profile for now.


    There are enough discussions about you already,” Tiffany scolded. After saying that, she lowered her


    head and continued to work.


    But J stayed glued to the spot, staring at her with fierce determination.


    After hesitating for a few seconds, Tiffany relented and held up Ritchie’s business card. She said in a


    resigned tone, “I don’t know what you’re up to, but I hope you know what you’re doing.”


    J reached for the card with a bright smile. Of course she knew what she was doing.


    *******


    That evening, Ritchie received a call from an unknown number.


    “Mr. Lester, this is J Lind from the Larson Group. After giving it some thought, I want to apologize in


    public,” J said, her voice as sweet as honey.


    When Ritchie heard this, he was surprised. Then, he sneered. He was under the impression that


    Ethan’s wife was a stubborn woman, but it turned out he was wrong about her. J had given up so


    soon.


    “You’re scared, aren’t you?” With a smug smile on his face, Ritchie smirked. “Come to Lester Silk


    Fabric tomorrow. You can apologize there in person.”N?velDrama.Org holds this content.
