Chapter 429
Looking at Damian, Penelope eased up a bit. And Damian breathed a long sigh of relief at the thought
that she would soon leave.
In this way, both of them were satisfied.
...
In a blink of an eye, Meredith had been working for Xavier Group for almost a month. She was fully
qualified for this position in a short time.
She was already in full control of the department.
Today, she came to work as usual, but as soon as she entered the gate of Xavier Group, she sensed
something was wrong.
Design Department was a very important area for Xavier Group''s headquarters. When Meredith first
took office, everyone in thepany knew about her because of Chen''s appearance on the first day.
The new executive director of design B Department and Damian, who was close to the president, were
very respectful to her.
Whenever a colleague saw her, they would nodded at her.
But today...
She saw the receptionists at the front desk were looking at her from time to time, and some colleagues
huddled together in twos and threes. She had no idea what they were whispering.
But from their asional nce, Meredith also realized that these people were talking about her.
She couldn''t help but frown, wondering what happened.
For some reason, it reminded her of the day when the news that she was copying other''s design was
exposed at Xavier Group''s branch in J City. When she went to work, the same situation happened to
her, and she felt a sense of unease.
She would know what was going onter anyway.
She took a deep breath and took a quick step up the elevator, expressionless.
As soon as she left, the staff in the hall started to talk loudly.
"Look at her. I''m afraid she doesn''t know what''s going on. There''s going to be a good show."
"Do you think that would be true?"
"Sure, the police is here. This is Xavier Group. If there is no conclusive evidence, how can the director
of design be arrested?"
"You''re right. It must be approved, or else those people won''t show up."
"Well, Meredith has only been here for a month. She was once somebody, but now she might be going
to jail soon. It''s really unpredictable."
Meredith didn''t know what these people were talking about. She went straight to design B Department
under the attention of everyone.
Emma had been waiting at the door, and when she saw hering up, she put on a sarcastic

expression.
"Oh, our design director is finally here," she said, looking at Meredith with sarcasm, and her eyes were
full of malicious and gloating smiles. Meredith was in a daze for a moment.
After all, Emma had been in a low position for a month, afraid of doing something wrong. Seeing her
sudden change, Meredith felt ufortable, as if this was Emma''s true color.
She shook her head and walked into the department without paying attention to her.
Emma''s face turned red in anger. She looked at Meredith''s back with resentment in her eyes, but then
she thought of something and smiled happily.
At first, she thought that Meredith had Mr. Xavier back her up. She had been walking on eggshells for a
month.
She thought that she would be live under the pressure of Meredith, but things changed. She was d.
The police wereing to arrest Meredith, but thepany''s top management did not show up to
exin, which made her wonder whether Meredith had a back up.
Anyway, she was overjoyed that Meredith would be in trouble and her miserable life was about to be
over.
This time, she must seize the opportunity to win the position of design director as quickly as possible.
Confidence shed in Emma''s eyes.
Meredith entered the department under the watchful eyes of the designers. She immediately saw a few
police officers sitting inside drinking tea, and she became more uneasy.
They looked at her and stood up. "You''re Meredith?"
She nodded, "Yes. How may I help you?"
One of them took out a few A4 papers and handed them to her. "Do you have any impression of these
designs?"
Meredith took them and knew what they were at a nce. She frowned tightly.
The B Department needed to design clothes in advance for the second half of the year, and these were
designs of the first batch of hand-drawn drafts. Including Meredith, the entire department submitted
together.
These were confidential manuscripts. She locked them in herputer. How could they be exposed?
"These are our department''s hand-drawn design for the second half of the year. May I ask why they''re
in your hands?"
Before the police officer could speak, Emma on the side couldn''t wait to say, "Director Mason, how can
you ask the police about this? You should ask yourself."
Meredith looked at her coldly and said, "What do you mean?"
"Well, you''re really stubborn. Didn''t you pay attention to the news? Yesterday, AKpany held an
emergency fashion press conference."
"The designs presented at the press conference are almost identical to those in your hands."
"Director Mason, I don''t think it''s proper for you to do such a thing. These manuscripts are made
through the countless efforts of the entire B Department. But you take the manuscripts to AKpany
and exchange them for money. You''re so calcting."
Meredith''s eyes widened and her heart sank. Yesterday was the weekend. Although she was resting at
home, she didn''t pay much attention to the current news, so she didn''t notice.
However, she was shocked that the manuscripts from her department came to AKpany. She knew
that its clothing field and Xavier Group werepetitors.
"Miss Mason, we have received a report from the Xavier Group that you are suspected of being
involved in the theft of trade secrets. You need toe back with us for investigation."
Meredith bit her lips in panic. She felt that all these things were very strange, but now, panic could not
solve the problem.
"Sir, I didn''t steal these manuscripts, and I don''t know how these designs came to otherpanies. I
hope you can investigate."
"We will investigate the truth, but you still need toe with us."
Meredith wasn''t a fool. She knew that she couldn''t get out of trouble this time. After all, she was the
design director of B Department who was responsible for keeping the manuscripts.
