Chapter 64: You Would Definitely Regret That
Lily disliked Wendy for a long time. The company was big, and competition was bound to happen. She couldn’t compete with Stella, so she could only compete with the newcomers. Her evil thoughts were all written on her face.
“Lily, I think your ability is enough to beat Wendy. Although she’s my sister-in-law, I don’t think she’s a match for you.” Rosaria started fanning the flames as soon as she left the office.
Others easily influenced Lily’s mood. She secretly competed with Wendy, saying, “Let me defeat her once and for all and take her down a peg.”
Rosaria’s eyes lit up. “How?”
Lily raised the corner of her mouth and whispered in Rosaria’s ear, “How is it?”
“Very well, let her have a taste of failure.”
When Rosaria had nothing to do, she went to Rex to ask for a place in the design competition from him. However, Rex gave her a perfunctory answer, making Rosaria even more jealous. Together with Lily, they planned to fool Wendy in front of everyone.
In the evening, Rosaria came to the study and knocked on the door. “Bro.”
Rex looked up with a smile on his face. “Come in. What’s wrong?”
“Bro, I want to move out.”
“What happened?” Rex suddenly put down the document in his hand. “Is it not a good place to live? Or is it something else?”
Rosaria waved a hand. “No, I miss my parents. I haven’t been to the family home in ages either. I want to go take a look.”
Rex thought for a bit. “Okay, did you tell your parents?”
“Yes, of course.”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“Alright,” Rex said, “I’ll get Clare to send you off tomorrow.”
Rosaria rolled her eyes when she heard that. “No need. Mom and Dad have already sent someone to pick me up.”
“Is that so?” Rex didn’t think too much about it. “Okay, let the nanny help you check your luggage. As you know, there are many things to do in the company recently. I can’t take care of you. You have to take care of yourself, understand?”
Rosaria nodded with an awkward smile on her face. “I know, bro. Go about your business. I’ll say goodbye to Sister-in-law.”
Rex stopped her. “Rosaria, don’t go. When I’m done, I’ll go and tell her. She’s been busy preparing for the competition these days. She’s probably fallen asleep.”
“All right.” Rosaria pursed her lips straight and walked out of the study. She looked at Wendy’s room and gnashed her teeth in hatred!
Who would have thought that her brother Rex would fall in love with Wendy? How could she be inferior to Wendy?
Rex, you would regret that!
Early in the morning the next day, Rosaria got in the car she had called while Rex and Wendy were out. She quietly entered from the back door after arranging for them to leave.
She was on guard against the servants at home. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she quickly sneaked into Wendy’s room. After searching for a while, she finally found the design draft of the competition in the drawer.
“Wendy Walters, just wait and see you lose everything.”
The smile on Rosaria’s lips seemed to be poisoned, and her eyes were vicious.
After she went to the company, she found Vivian, who had a close relationship with Lily. They had conspired to overthrow Wendy together. She said proudly, “Rosaria, if I can win this time, I will thank you very much.”
“No problem.”
On the day of the competition, the major media all came, trying to fight for the title page.
Wendy’s identity was special, so she naturally attracted a lot of shots. Vivian, who was standing next to her, was a little lonely. She wanted to enter the competition stage as soon as possible, so she couldn’t wait to see the expression on Wendy’s face.
“Now, please show me your work.” When the host finished speaking, Wendy took out her work confidently. As a result, almost simultaneously, there was a chorus of doubts.
She was confused, but before she could react, Vivian took the initiative. Holding the design draft, she pointed at Wendy and questioned, “Wendy, why did you copy my work?”
Wendy looked closer: Wasn’t Vivian holding her design draft?
She was stunned and incoherent in front of the camera. “I…… I didn’t…… This is my design draft.”
Yet Vivian refused to let her go. All the cameras turned to Wendy. In the face of the reporters’ pointed questions, Wendy became uneasy. Rex, sitting under the stage, strode onto the stage without thinking. He held Wendy in his arms, apologized, and took Wendy backstage.
Wendy was like a frightened deer. She was pressed down on the sofa by Rex, and her eyes were blurred. “It’s not me…… I didn’t…… I didn’t copy……”
Rex stretched out his hand to hug Wendy. “I believe it’s not your fault. Someone must have framed you. It’s not like I haven’t seen your design draft before. How could I not know?”
Wendy lifted her head from Rex’s embrace and looked at him with a wronged expression. “But they don’t believe me. I feel like I’ve offended someone. Why are they always targeting me?”
Rex’s eyes were icy as he said, “Don’t worry. I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly. I won’t let you be wronged for no reason. I’ll start with Vivian. She must have colluded with someone else if she didn’t steal the design draft. Despite knowing our relationship, I don’t believe she’s stupid enough to steal your design draft.”
“But……” Wendy wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. She thought about it and decided not to say anything in the end. After all, it was only a guess, and she did not want to blow up the matter.
Of course, Rex knew what she wanted to say. If that person did this, maybe it was time for him to put some things on the agenda.
Rex wanted to suppress the matter. However, there were too much media this time, and it was also related to the company’s interests. He couldn’t suppress it, and it even alarmed Cassie Gavyn.
As one of the board members, Cassie held a board meeting for the first time and discussed this matter fiercely.
“Wendy Walters leaked Glory Group’s secrets before, so she should have been fired. This time, she even plagiarized and stole someone else’s proposal, leading to the great loss of the company’s reputation. After a discussion by the board of directors, they unanimously decided to dismiss Wendy, I……”
“Wait!” At this moment, Rex suddenly burst through the door. With a confirmed look, he said, “I disagree.”
Cassie could not be angry in front of the board of directors, but her tone was unhappy. “What’s the use of keeping a woman like her around?”
“I don’t agree until this matter is thoroughly investigated. Lady Cassie, please don’t forget that I am the CEO of Glory Group. Before the truth comes out, no one, including me, has the right to dismiss Wendy Walters!”
Rex’s words were firm and irrefutable. The board of directors was secretly dissatisfied. However, there was nothing they could do. Even Cassie didn’t say anything. It was not good for them to interrupt, so they could only shut up.
“Rex! How long are you going to protect that woman!” Cassie erupted the moment she entered Rex’s office.
“I don’t think Wendy is that kind of person,” Rex said, holding fast to his own opinion.
Cassie laughed mockingly, “Then do you think I’m wrong? When have I misjudged him? Rex, don’t be fooled by her.”
“Mom, you go home first. I still have something to do here.”
“You!” Cassie was so angry. “Well, you can choose to protect her. Sooner or later, you will regret it.”
