Chapter 365
Aurelia and Leslie exchanged glances when they realized that Kimberly had arrived. They knew that the main event was about to unfold.
In the next moment, Kimberly arrogantly strode into the meeting room.
She briefly glanced at Aurelia before approaching Lucia’s side with a smile.
Kimberly said, “Nice to meet you, Ms. Lawson and Ms. Hanks. I’m Kimberly Watson from Young Advertising, and I used to be Aurelia’s colleague.
“We went to the hotel together that day to discuss a collaboration with Ms. Hanks. In fact, Ms. Hanks actually thought highly of Aurelia, so she wanted to assess her by inviting her to participate in the photoshoot.”
She continued, “At times when we reach out to clients, we also try to assist them with whatever we can. If Ms. Hanks could think highly of me in the same manner, I’d be overjoyed, and I wouldn’t be as petty as Aurelia.
“Now that she has the support of a well–known company like One Technology, she naturally feels invincible. It’s not surprising that she’s become conceited, but I never imagined that she would go so far as to destroy such a valuable necklace to get back at
Ms. Hanks.
Kimberly sighed with a sense of regret as she spoke.
Aurelia, however, understood very clearly that Kimberly had portrayed her as someone. who was not only petty but also quite arrogant.
Before Aurelia could offer any rebuttal, Eva had already gotten up and delivered her
verdict.
“Ms. Lawson, I hope you understand the situation now. This whole thing is nothing more than Aurelia seeking revenge on me. She intentionally broke the necklace and she should be held accountable for it,” she stated.
After hearing this, Lucia hesitated for a moment and silently gazed at Aurelia.
Aurelia stood up and looked at Kimberly, asking, “Are you certain that I deliberately
broke the necklace?”
Kimberly looked at her in an extremely arrogant manner and said, “Of course! I’ve
already given my statement to the police as well! Aurelia, you’re not going to argue that
Charter 345
you were tripped by the wire, right?”
Eva chuckled. “We’re not blind, Aurelia. If there was a wire, wouldn’t we all notice them? Aurelia, lying won’t help you get away with this.”
Aurelia began, “Actually-
As soon as Aurella began to speak, Eva raised her hand and interrupted her.
“Come on, Aurelial Stop wasting our time. While I’ll let this slide considering we
wrapped up the magazine cover shoot on schedule, you’ll still have to compensate for the necklace,” demanded Eva.
Aurelia tried again, saying, “I wanted to say
“I told you to sign the agreement!” Eva interrupted her again.
Kimberly crossed her arms and said with a sneer, “Sign it already! People have better things to do with their time. Do you even think you’re worthy of their time?”
Aurelia had had enough. She raised her hand and forcefully slammed it on the table.
A loud thud echoed as the agreement that was on the table shook for a moment. In the meeting room, Leslie was the only one who had the foresight to lift his laptop bag.
Naturally, Aurelia wouldn’t give in that easily!
She shouted, “Kimberly Watson! Stop being such a bootlicker! Do you really think that the deal will fall into your hands once you get rid of me?
“Don’t you think before you act? If you successfully framed me, do you think it’s possible for IN Magazine and Young Advertising to collaborate again in the future?
“Although you’ve been with the company for so long, what have you really developed aside from your talent for seducing men over the years?”
Aurelia shot a glance at Kimberly’s chest and said with a sneer, “Oh, wait! I guess you’ve developed in terms of your bust size.
Kimberly’s visibly enlarged chest heaved with anger as she took a deep breath.
Despite her anger, she chose not to directly confront Aurelia. Instead, she directed her gaze toward the people from IN Magazine, particularly Lucia.
