Aurelia’s only hope was that Kimberly would say something out of respect for Young Advertising. She


    turned to look at Kimberly.


    Kimberly’s expression was solemn as she said, “Aurelia, you’ve gone too far this time. Even if you want


    to retaliate against Ms. Hank for bossing you around, you shouldn’t mess with other people’s things! I


    can’t help you this time.”


    Aurelia wasn’t surprised at all by Kimberly’s words. Kimberly had always been critical of her and would


    never lend her a hand. Aurelia tensed up and was unable to respond to her words.


    Eva pressed on aggressively, “Aurelia, there are witnesses and evidence. How do you n to justify


    yourself? Or do you want to discuss how you’re going topensate for 50 million?”


    Aurelia bit her lip nervously as Eva continued berating her.


    “Can’t you afford it? It’s your fault for being careless. I really don’t understand why Young Advertising


    would employ someone like you. It’s just their luck. If you don’t pay


    I’ll call the police right now,” Eva threatened.


    up,


    Kimberly hurried forward to me Aurelia, saying, “Ms. Hanks, this is entirely Aurelia’s doing. It doesn’t


    represent thepany. Ourpany has always approached yourpany with a friendly and


    serious attitude toward cooperation. We would never resort to retaliatory behavior.”


    “Kimberly, do you take me for a fool? Given the circumstances, how can I believe this


    isn’t something yourpany instructed Aurelia to do? I can’t possibly work with you. people,” Eva


    sneered.

    Kimberly immediately took out her phone. “Ourpany has always been fair and impartial. I’ll call Mr.


    Zeller right away to dismiss Aurelia. It won’t affect the cooperation between ourpanies,” she said


    quickly.


    Eva’s silence indicated her approval of Kimberly’s proposal.


    It was at this moment that Aurelia snapped out of her daze and stepped forward to stop Kimberly.


    “Wait a minute, the matter hasn’t been investigated thoroughly yet. Why should I be med for


    damaging the ne?” Aurelia demanded.


    Evaughed. “Listen to what she’s saying. We all saw it. Is she still asking this kind of question?”


    Aure took a deep breath and said calmly, “Ms. Hanks, I did see a wire here. If you think I’m making


    excuses, then the scene should be thoroughly examined before any usation is made toward me.

    “Also, you were the one who insisted that I fetch the briefcase. This indicates that knew in advance


    there were valuable items in it. However, you didn’t inform me about it. And why would the briefcase


    open so easily? Isn’t that strange?”


    The briefcase had abination lock, and there were soft pads inside to secure the ne. Even if


    the ne fell from a certain height, the briefcase shouldn’t have opened so easily.


    Yet, all it took was for Aurelia to stumble and the briefcase flew open, causing the ne to fall out.


    The situation was too coincidental.


    “What are you implying, Aurelia? Do I have to tell everyone we were carrying a 50 million dor


    ne? Are you suggesting that we are trying to frame you?” Eva retorted.


    .???


    “Since you asked me to get it, don’t I have the right to know what’s inside?” Aurelia shot


    back.


    Eva sneered, “Why you… Is that the tone you’re going to use when facing a client? You’ll either be fired


    or taken to the police station today.‘


    “Either way, you’llpensate for the 50 million, with or without your cooperation. I have plenty of


    witnesses,” Eva said indifferently with a smile, confident that Aurelia was powerless.


    Aurelia nced around as everyone stared at her, each condemning her with their eyes.


    It was almost as though they were saying, “Why would you provoke Ms. Hanks? You got


    us into this mess.


    “It’s so annoying. Someone just came along and ruined our work,” a staffined.


    Someone else shook their head in disappointment. “Damn, that’s just my luck. We are all getting


    scolded when we get back.”


    Though they didn’t say it out loud, the messages in their eyes seemed to pierce through Aurelia all the


    same.


    She clenched her fists to maintain herposure.


    “You have three minutes to think, or I’m calling the police. The destruction of others‘ property worth 50


    million would be quite a big crime,” Eva urged as she curled her lips. with a sharp glint in her eyes.


    This action indicated to Aurelia that there was more to the story. However, no one dared to oppose


    Eva. The wire that tripped her was also somehow gone. What else could she do?
