Chapter 341
It was Kimberly. The only people who could have taken the wire behind Aurelia without her noticing were Kimberly and Eva’s assistant, Flora. However, Kimberly was closest to Aurelia and the wire.
At the time, Kimberly had a backpack and a reflector in her hand as a cover, making it easy to take the wire from the ground.
Aurelia stared at the sketch, lost in thought.
Leslie immediately spotted the issue and pointed to Eva’s assistant, Flora. “If it was Kimberly who took the wire, the person behind you would’ve definitely seen what happened. The assistant sitting on the couch would have seen everything,” he elaborated.
Aurelia nodded. “So Flora lied. She said she didn’t see anything.”
“It’s not just a simple lie. You’ve been played by them,” he said.
Aurelia paused for a moment and pointed to the sketch.
“You mean Kimberly and Eva conspired together? It’s no wonder Kimberly rushed to see Eva before me early in the morning. It’s hard enough for her to arrive on time before this,
“she remarked.
Leslie nodded in agreement.
“But the police searched our belongings during the interrogation. Kimberly was wearing a tight skirt. This section of wire could only fit in her bag, but she had nothing in it,”
Aurelia said.
If they had found the wire, she wouldn’t have been condemned on the internet, let alone subjected to false rumors.
Leslie thought about it and suggested, “She could have disposed of it. The main focus was on Eva’s group, not her. So, she just needed to find an opportunity to get rid of the
evidence.”
Aurelia hummed. “Even so, there are too many places she could have disposed of it.”
The entire hotel had 39 floors. Kimberly could have thrown it away on any floor without
anyone noticing.
“There are cameras in the elevator. We just need to see which floor she stepped on,”
Leslie said.
“Yeah.” With that, Aurelia put away the sketch..
As she stood up, her phone rang. She was stunned for a few seconds after looking at the
caller ID.
It was from her boss.
She had been with the company for over four years and rarely received calls from the
boss.
“Sir,” she greeted politely.
“Aurelia, I hope you won’t blame the company. We had no choice, given the large amount involved and the significant impact your personal life has had on the company. We’ve decided to terminate your employment. Let’s part ways in peace.” The boss sighed.
Aurelia froze after hearing what he said.
Although the boss sounded regretful, she sensed an underlying tone.
The boss had already accepted everything said online as true, even emphasizing that it was all her fault and had nothing to do with the company.
The phrase “part ways in peace” carried a hint of threat. It seemed to hint that the
company would target her if she didn’t comply.
Still, something else was bugging her. These matters could be handled by the company’s public relations team, so why did the boss call her in person?
It was as if they were afraid of a confrontation with her.
What kind of storm could an ordinary employee like her stir up?
Aurelia understood what her boss meant. The company didn’t want her anymore. So long as she left in silence, they wouldn’t do anything to her.
Before she could say anything, the boss hung up in a hurry.
She held the phone against her ear for a while longer until a sharp sound snapped her out
of it.
She clicked on the notification and saw a termination notice from her company.
Each word was meticulously written and all responsibilities were conveniently evaded. It was almost like the notice was drafted a long time ago, only to be sent to her after the
Chapter
call.
Though the notice claimed that she was fired due to personal reasons, the netizens
sniffed drama.
Instantly, her phone started vibrating.
She opened all the messages she was receiving, not expecting her phone number to be
leaked within such a short time.
Some asked, “How much for a night with you? Don’t be a prude. We know you’ve been
with many men.
Others texted, “You wear dresses to reveal your legs so you can seduce your clients, right? Well, it worked.”
“You whore…” wrote a stranger.
Each message was nastier than the last. Before she could finish reading them, Leslie snatched her phone away and shoved it into her purse.
“There’s no point in reading those,” he said.
