Chapter 317 Apologize
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.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
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."
