Chapter 108
Catherine’s POV
I did not care about the discussions of the people around me. After all, they all knew that Leo was, in fact, from the royal family. What made me wary was the online news.
I walked back to my desk, turned on iny laptop, and hurriedly found the piece of news. In just a few minutes, it had nearly a million hits.
“How could this be?” I was dumbfounded, feeling like my world was collapsing.
The entertainment media people were unbelievable. All I did was stand there and talk to Leo, and now I was pictured as his mysterious girlfriend.
What was more, a photo revealing my face was also included.
“They are making all of these up out of thin air!” I felt the urge to find these people and beat them hard.
With just a few casual words, they turned a misunderstanding into a fact. They earned hits and popularity, while I was left with suspicion and disdain.
Vanessa entered the office. When I looked up, I happened to see the smug look on her face. It went sullen at once.
I stood up abruptly and walked toward Vanessa.
Vanessa did not expect me to walk directly to her. Her complacent face froze, and she somehow felt guilty. She wanted to turn around and leave.
“Vanessa,” I called her loudly and angrily.
Vanessa immediately stopped, turned around, lifted her chest, and pretended to be indifferent. She sneered and said, “What?”
“Come with me to Melinda’s office. I have something to say to you,” I said coldly.
Vanessa immediately ridiculed, “You are a newcomer, yet you dare to tell me what to do. Sure enough, there is someone behind you. Do you still remember who you are? Why should I come with you?”
I stared into her eyes and said word by word, “Because I will call the police. I know who stole my draft and sold it.”
Vanessa’s face went pale at once. The smirk was gone completely.
“Well? Are you ready to come with me now?” I sneered.
I turned around and walked to Melinda’s office.
As soon as I stepped into her office, I found that Melinda’s face was a bit livid.
“Catherine, come here.” Melinda glared at Vanessa and then pulled me to the side.
“What’s the matter? Melinda?” I looked at Melinda with some confusion.
“I reported to Guy just now. A minute ago, he called me and told me that the stack of papers was thrown into the shredder by his assistant as waste paper.” Melinda said to me in a low voice.
I was dumbfounded. I looked at Melinda, and I said in a trembling voice, “He must have done it on purpose! Melinda, didn’t you tell me before that he was involved with Vanessa?”
“I didn’t expect him to be so bold. He dared to destroy the evidence like that! I’ll ask Vanessa to go back, while you can
Get Boys
“Vanessa, you have been working here for so many years. How dare you conduct such a low-level crime? Your days are over. Go back and wait for our decision.” Melinda’s face was sullen, and she scolded Vanessa,
However, our conversation just now had obviously made Vanessa suspicious.
She stroked her long hair and looked at Melinda. She said, “Melinda, don’t stigmatize people just because you are a manager. You said that I stole it. Where’s your evidence?”
“It will be handed to the higher-ups soon. What’s your hurry?” Melinda said coldly.
“I don’t think you have any proof at all. You just want to find a scapegoat. I won’t be bullied by you. I will go to Mr. Tenny!” Vanessa became more and more confident as she spoke.
Then she turned around and reached out to open the office door, but as soon as she opened it, she saw a man standing at the door.
“Leo?” Vanessa’s voice was trembling.
“Mr. Chavez, why are you here?” When Melinda saw that it was Leo, she was relieved.
“Leo, someone destroys the evidence,” I whispered to Leo in frustration. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Leo raised his eyebrows and looked at me. “It’s fine.”
Then he closed the office door, walked to the sofa in Melinda’s office, and sat down.
He leaned against the back of the sofa, looking relaxed. He looked at Vanessa and said, “Are you still denying it?”
“Mr. Chavez, even though you are from the royal family, you can’t throw weight around like this. The Chavez Group is a formal company. Though I am a member of the royal pack, I still need to be treated fairly.” Vanessa was still stubborn, but she was no longer as arrogant.
“Good.” Leo looked at Vanessa and sat up slightly.
Then the air in the office seemed to be gradually condensing, and I could feel Leo releasing his pressure constantly.
Vanessa’s face went from light to grave, and then she gritted her teeth. Her face turned pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
I could feel the air pressing around me, but the pressure was not strong.
The familiar feeling reminded me of Blake. I knew Leo was releasing his Lycan aura.
“Vanessa, who stole Catherine’s design draft?” Leo asked slowly. His tone was cold and serious.
Vanessa struggled, but finally, she spoke with a shudder,
“It was … it was me. I stole Catherine’s design draft, because I was jealous that she was recognized by the client. She made me look like a fool. I sold her draft to the owner of a clothing factory for two thousand dollars. I hoped Lorelei would find out and go after Catherine because of this.”
After Vanessa finished speaking, I felt the pressure around me dissipate, and Leo became leisurely again.
“Mr. Chavez, the evidence has been recorded.” Melinda took out the recording pen, and there was also a camera in her office, so, we now had enough evidence.
“Thank you, Leo,” I sincerely expressed my gratitude to him.
“Don’t mention it. I’ll take off now.” Leo glanced at me and left the office.
