Initially, Faye didn't want to personally get involved in this matter, but Priscilla's smug attitude and the staff—who were either her accomplices or genuinely incompetent—made it so that she couldn't stand idly by. They dared to flaunt their mediocre skills before her, so she had to teach them a lesson."T-This …" the head of the surveillance room stammered, his gaze fixed on the laptop in Faye's hand.How was this possible? While this technical issue wasn't overly complex, Faye was supposed to be a designer, not an IT expert. How could she resolve it with such ease?The person in charge clenched his teeth, sweat beading on his forehead. He sought an excuse to avoid responsibility for himself and his technical team. However, before he could provide any explanation, Jamie exclaimed in excitement."That's right! That's the surveillance footage from that evening."Instantly, everyone in the meeting room gathered around, captivated by the computer screen. Faye raised her hand,
Priscilla spoke with a determined expression, as if she were not a plagiarist but a righteous defender of the company's reputation. Faye had encountered many people who tried to justify themselves after making mistakes, but Priscilla was at a different level. Not only did she refuse to acknowledge her mistake, but she also attempted to shift the blame onto someone else. It was as if she saw plagiarism as a righteous means to prevent the company from embarrassment. "I endured days of humiliation at the hands of Mrs. Rockley. On that day, she issued an ultimatum. If I didn't submit the final draft the next day and meet her lofty expectations, she vowed to lodge an official complaint against our company."She even threatened to show up and create a scene, proclaiming to everyone that Light Moon Designs is a sham."Priscilla's voice quivered, laden with a sense of injustice. "I returned to the company, sifting through a multitude of materials and design books, but Mrs. Rockley's
Faye remained silent and looked at Lincoln, waiting for his decision. After all, he was the company's top executive, and rumors about Lincoln and Priscilla's unusual relationship had been circulating. Faye was curious to see if they were indeed dating.Lincoln took a deep breath, disgusted by Priscilla's facade of a pitiful victim.He still couldn't understand why his brother loved a woman like her. But regardless, Priscilla would not be staying in the company any longer. As for blacklisting her, Lincoln would have to consult his brother before proceeding."We've now learned the truth. Priscilla, you have disappointed me. As a top graduate of Uclear University, I believed that you were the company's future, given your talent and potential. "When you volunteered to take on Mrs. Rockley's project, I supported you, thinking that you have what it takes. Yet, this is what you did instead …"Most importantly, even when the truth came out, you attempted to shift blame onto others,"
Flora didn't say much to Faye, only mentioning that Lizzie had come to provoke her, leaving her feeling upset. Faye didn't press further and consoled her mother for a while before leaving.Once Faye left, Flora's expression darkened. She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself.Just an hour earlier, Lizzie came shouting outside her door, claiming that she knew about the agreement between her and Clint.Startled, Flora allowed her inside. However, Lizzie began confronting her with a dark expression once she was inside. "Flora, Clint has told me everything. How long are you going to keep this from everyone?" Lizzie's eyes were filled with a dark glint. "You wanted to reclaim the shares of Brown Corporation, right? With things as they are, Brown Corporation is done for if you continue to keep secrets. At that point, even if you manage to get it back, it will all be meaningless.""I don't know what you're talking about," Flora replied calmly, despite s
What Flora didn't know was that as soon as Faye stepped out of the hospital room, she accessed the room's surveillance footage to thoroughly review everything that had occurred inside. After watching the surveillance video, she fell into deep thought. She didn't know whether Lizzie was telling the truth, but Flora's expression clearly indicated that she was shaken. At the very least, she didn't deny anything that Lizzie said. Faye expected to feel upset upon hearing such news, but after watching the video, she somehow felt relieved. If Clint wasn't her biological father, that would explain why he had been so ruthless toward her. Her father treated her like a princess when she was a child, but once her mother fell ill, he brought home another woman and their daughter. From then, he also began treating Faye as though she was worthless.In the end, this was the truth. Clint's fondness for her stemmed from Flora's influence, as she held a certain level of power over him due to
"You don’t understand a thing!" Clint shouted in anger, his face flushed. "I've found someone who can save Brown Corporation. With just 750 thousand, we can quickly resolve the crisis, and Brown Corporation will rise again. "Do you take Flora for a fool? Why would she spend two million on Brown Corporation's shares? Women are so short-sighted!" After his outburst, Clint composed himself and turned to the dumbfounded real estate agent. “Sir, it's settled. We'll meet again tomorrow morning."With that, he dragged Lizzie out of the real estate agency.The couple argued all the way back to their villa. Clint was excited and saw hope in the future. He scolded Lizzie and urged her to pack her things quickly because they needed to move out as soon as possible.Lizzie dropped to the floor and refused to budge, claiming that she would never move out or agree to selling the house.Clint ignored her and started packing their things. He smiled and assured Lizzie, "Don't worry, Lizzie.
Lukas looked furious. "You wouldn't believe the drama I witnessed when I arrived yesterday. You remember Mrs. Rockley from that day at the restaurant, right? The one who appears rather imposing."It's evident that she's carrying all the weight, but there doesn't seem to be much going on in her head. Throughout the years, as Mr. Rockley toiled away, she seemed to have devoted herself to nothing but indulging in food and drink."He continued, "It's bad enough that she funneled the family's money to support her gambling-addicted big brother. To add to the chaos, she's been engaging in some shady dealings."Mr. Rockley had an explosive confrontation with her. It's a shame you missed it; it was a scene worthy of a dramatic novel. The sort of spectacle you'd never expect in real life." He shook his head and mocked.Faye lowered her gaze, surprised by Mrs. Rockley's stupidity. The Rockley family originally had a bright future ahead, having gained the attention of the Garcia family. Howe
On their way back, Faye could tell that Flora's mind was wandering. She knew Flora was still upset about being threatened by Lizzie and silently resolved to settle matters related to Brown Corporation as soon as possible. Returning Brown Corporation to her mother's control was her priority, as she wanted to put an end to the threats from Lizzie and Clint once and for all. She sent Lucy home and made sure Flora returned to the hospital before heading downstairs herself since it was getting late.Lizzie had been circling the hospital for a while, and when she finally spotted Faye, she hurried over with a dark expression. "Faye, aren't you and your mother trying to get your hands on the shares for Brown Corporation?"Lizzie couldn't afford to wait any longer. She received information that Brown Corporation wouldn't last for another two days. Meanwhile, Clint was still being manipulated by a stranger, believing that he could save the company by selling the house. Faye crossed
