Chapter 802 Dalores''s Defamation


    J didn''t want to speak about Elizabeth''s private affairs in front of other colleagues, especially


    when the nosy Dalores was around to hear.


    She feared that rumors could arise from this discussion and it would adversely affect Elizabeth''s


    reputation.


    "It''s not as serious a matter as you think. Elizabeth''s apartment was burgled by a rogue. Her aunt


    sustained an injury due to having direct conflict with the burr, but she is all fine now. Don''t worry;


    there is no need for it," J said.

    Tasha sighed after hearing her friend. "The security in that old neighborhood is just not up to


    scratch. Fortunately, the police arrived on the scene shortly and nothing serious happened."


    After J had thoroughly exined the situation, everyone stopped specting. All they felt now


    was pity for Elizabeth considering the ordeal she had been through.


    "Are you all free after work? We are her colleagues after all. I think it''s only appropriate that we all


    pay Elizabeth a visit in hospital."


    "Sure. Let''s go togetherter." Everyone agreed to this kind gesture.


    In any event, Elizabeth had built good rtionships with many of her colleagues at the


    W Marks Studio.


    Just when everyone had made up their mind, Dalores suddenly stood up and said, "Don''t be


    ridiculous! I heard that Elizabeth''s apartment wasn''t burgled!"


    J squinted at Dalores, wondering what she was trying to do now.


    "You''re just trying to cover things up for Elizabeth''s sake," Dalores said in response. She cast a


    sarcastic nce at J and said in a raised voice for everyone to hear, "You wanna know what


    really happened? Elizabeth''s boyfriend, Jorge, broke in and took revenge on her. The couple had


    entered an agreement to sell the designs of the studio, but they ended up in an argument about the


    profits of it. What''s more, Jorge severely injured her hand, permanently disabling her. She won''t be


    able to draw anything in the future."


    The people in the studio shared astounded looks when they heard this shocking revtion.


    "Oh, my God! Is that really what happened?"


    "That''s truly terrible. It''s no wonder that she''s suspended."


    Hearing the crowd of employees whispering under their breath, J felt anger bubble up inside


    her, threatening to overflow. She gritted her teeth and growled, "Dalores! What nonsense are you


    talking about here?"


    "You know clearly whether I am talking nonsense or not," Dalores said confidently.


    J scowled, wondering how Dalores had managed to uncover so much information.


    However, she didn''t want to inme the situation so she had to find another way to fix things. She


    considered her options and then changed the topic deliberately. "Dalores, I think you don''t want to


    work since you have so much time to gossip. You have got a lot of projects from Elizabeth after she


    left. If you don''t want to work, you can share the projects with other colleagues. We are in the same


    studio. I, for one, also want to be involved in those projects."


    The moment the words left her mouth, everyone eagerly agreed. Everyone aspired to be involved in


    more projects, and Elizabeth''s projects were top notch.


    "That''s right. Since you can''t finish all the work by yourself, why don''t you share it with everyone?"


    "We have nothing to do now."


    They teased each other eagerly.


    In Dalores''s eyes, what she was holding was not just extra projects, but cold, hard cash. How could


    she be willing to give it to others?


    She said seriously, "No, Elizabeth has given me her projects, so they''re all mine. I won''t share with


    anyone!"


    Several colleagues were speechless and rolled their eyes, showing their dissatisfaction on their


    faces.


    All the people in the studio knew that how Dalores got the projects. She was just lucky because


    Elizabeth was suspended and her projects had to be distributed to others.


    J smiled, "You should have been more grateful, given the situation."


    Elizabeth''s projects had the potential to make a profit in excess of one hundred thousand dors.


    But Dalores wasn''t grateful to Elizabeth for giving her this opportunity to make such money. Instead,


    she decided to publicly defame her.


    Dalores hadn''t expected J to do this to her. She was filled with rage and was reaching breaking


    point.


    Just then, the receptionist hade in and interrupted their heated argument.


    "Please stop this bickering. There is ady at the door who wants to see the dress. Please receive


    her professionally."


    J looked at the time and figured that the woman was no other than Laney.


    Laney had sent J a message earlier, letting her know that she would have time to see the dress


    and do the fitting that morning.
