The police asked the principal to mediate the issue, and the principal released an official statement on campus after learning the truth. On the same day, after the recording was uploaded onto the school’s website, the instructors and students of the academy were shocked by the news.After Jodie was hospitalized for a few days and returned to the academy again, her desk had been cleared, and a letter of dismissal could be seen left on it.Several female instructors pointed at her and glanced at her from time to time.“I always thought she was so kind. I didn’t expect her to be such a scheming person.”“It’s a shame that I always thought she seemed so pitiful and had shown her so much support before this. She really deserves this.”“I heard that she was already quite a scheming person when she was still studying at the academy. It’s no wonder Mr. Lucas didn’t take a fancy to her back then.”“...”When Jodie overheard the discussions that went back and forth behind her, her comple
Yorrick put down the wine bottle, moved it aside, and raised his gaze. “I’m interested in your overseas project in Zlokova.”Tristan paused for a split second and frowned. “You’re interested in that project?”Yorrick leaned forward slightly. “That’s the coast of the Persian Gulf. It connects the marine traffic between Yaramoor and Zlokova. You do have quite a keen foresight, knowing that you should develop the marine traffic. So, of course, I’m interested in this extremely profitable project.”Tristan smiled. “Mr. Hathaway, it’s said that you’ve always had a picky taste when it comes to project investment. I really didn’t expect that my project would catch your attention.”Yorrick placed his arms across the back of the couch. “I won’t make you work for nothing. I’ll invest a billion pounds into your project.”Tristan’s eyes moved as he pondered.‘The project actually piqued Yorrick’s interest and made him spend such an amount of money. This shows that the coast of the Persian Gul
She hugged Nollace and cried out loud, “I was so worried about you! You’re finally back!”Nollace stood in place and let her hold him expressionlessly. His gaze looked dull, and he was also bewildered by the existence of the Knowles and his parents.Mrs. Knowles noticed something, let him go slowly, and stroked his cheek with her palm. “Nolly?”Rick glanced at Tristan. “Uncle, what happened to Nollace?”Tristan put down the teacup. “He has lost his memory.”Rick was astonished.Mrs. Knowles shed tears again and held Nollace in her arms tremblingly. “It’s okay. He’s home now. As for his memory, he’ll gradually remember everything.”Back at Bassburgh, at Soul…Maisie was going through the resumes of the candidates applying for the jewelry designer position, including their previous creations.Lucy, who was standing by her side, could see her hesitation. “Ms. Vanderbilt, are you dissatisfied with these designs?”Maisie propped her chin against the palm of her hand and frowned. “
“No.” Naomi shook her head while she sat on the couch. “Dad, I didn’t want to attend the music academy.”Anthony was surprised when he heard Naomi continue. “Ryleigh was better than me in music, and I’ve always known that, so I was ready to be eliminated during the competition.”Unfortunately, she had only found out that the incident had put Ryleigh in a bad spot after all these years.Anthony looked down and didn’t speak. Naomi looked up at him and smiled. “Dad, I want to do what I enjoy. You will support me, right?”He paused, then smiled. “Of course I will.”The phone on the table started ringing. He saw that it was a foreign number, so he put it to his ear. “Mr. Knowles?”Tristan said something to him, and Anthony frowned. “You want to withdraw from the project?”“Yes, but don’t worry, Yorrick has taken over the project. I’m sure the project will be successful with him around.”After Tristan had a short chat with him and they hung up, he didn’t recover. Tristan withdrew
He calmly replied, “In-law.”Maisie immediately asked, “Are you sure that Hector stole something? Did you investigate it?”The officer didn’t know what to do. “The expensive stolen watch was found in Mr. Vanderbilt’s bag. We’re still investigating what actually happened.”Maisie rushed into the interrogation room when Hector turned to look at her and lowered his head. “I didn’t steal the watch.”Maisie looked at him. “I believe you, but what happened?”Hector tightened his fist. “The assistant of the editor-in-chief gave it to me.” He clenched his jaw.” I bumped into the editor-in-chief’s wife having an affair in the office, and he tried to bribe me with the watch so that I wouldn’t spill out the beans. I didn’t agree nor take the watch, but it suddenly showed up in my bag.”Maisie took a deep breath because this was obviously a setup and held her forehead. “So he found out that you found out?”Hector nodded. Maisie looked at him. “How did you find out?”Hector scratched his
Surprisingly, the editor-in-chief kept him. Had he learned something?Mr. Lowe looked sickly when he thought about that. When the editor-in-chief wanted to send someone to check the footage, Mr. Lowe suddenly blurted, “I-If it’s just a misunderstanding, let’s just let it go.”The staff next to him looked at each other, noticing that something was off. Hector looked at him. “Why don’t we check the cameras? I was arrested because of you, and I was framed. We need the surveillance videos to clear my name.”“You!” Mr. Lowe’s eyes burned with anger while he clenched his jaw. “I apologize for blaming you.”Hector smiled. “Alright, there’s no need to check the footage if you think it’s a misunderstanding too.”After the meeting, Mr. Lowe caught up with Hector and pulled him into a safe corridor. He grabbed Hector by the collar angrily. “Did you tell the editor-in-chief?”Hector looked calm. “What was I supposed to tell him?”His smile triggered Mr. Lowe, who glared at him furious
Hector smiled. “I gave you a chance to apologize, but you didn’t take it.”Mr. Lowe laughed hysterically. “You want me to apologize to a kid like you?” He balled up his fist. “Are you dreaming? Who do you think you are?”Hector pushed his hand away and pushed him away. He brushed out the wrinkles on his shirt, and his actions startled Mr. Lowe. Hector approached him. He was half a head taller than Mr. Lower and was overbearing. “You don’t need to know who I am.”He patted Mr. Lowe’s cheek. “Since you failed to frame me, you should give up. I know what you did, so you should just cooperate with me, or I can’t guarantee that no one else will find out about your secret.”“A-Are you threatening me?” Mr. Lowe’s face was pale, but he wasn’t fierce enough compared to Hector. Hector smiled. “Mr. Lowe, not every newbie can be threatened. You’re not threatening enough to me.”He ignored Mr. Lowe after saying that and turned around to leave the office. Mr. Lowe stood on the spot, looki
Maisie and Lucy came to the design planning department and saw the head of the department showing Naomi around. Even though she was important to Eastwood Enterprise, she laid low when working at Soul, dressing casually with no luxury brands or expensive jewelry. She had a smile the entire time when the head of the department was speaking to her and didn’t look impatient. That showed that Naomi had been brought up very well and didn’t act like the other rich girls. The head of the department saw Maisie and walked over smiling. “Ms. Vanderbilt.”When Naomi saw her, she smiled and nodded. Maisie did the same. “How’s your first day?”Naomi paused before answering with a smile, “It’s alright, but don’t worry, I’ll adapt quickly.”Maisie smiled. “I believe you.”Naomi had seen her at the hospital, but when she saw her again at Soul, she wasn’t surprised because she had looked into the company and how it had started. She was respectful and didn’t try to pretend that they were cl
