Cindy’s smile was confident while her demeanor brimmed with superiority. It made iza narrow her eyes.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. But if you’re accusing our boss, I’ll make sure you regret it,” Cindy said.

Cindy had always looked up to Scarlett, and she had never been belittled this way.

Eliza gave Melanie a signal before she stepped forward defiantly. “Scarlett, this is our chat history where you instructed me to steal the company’s new product documents.

*Fabricated?” Cindy’s laugh was tinged with scorn. “Ms. Miller, you must be blind. If you’re such an idiot, maybe don’t go looking for trouble. If you think this video is take, why don’t you show me how to make one?
