Chapter 49: She’s Wrongly Accuse
Who can it be? I’ve only worked at home and at the office, and every time when I left my desk, I turned the computer off. I’m sure no one has been into my room at home either. Who is it?!
She thought hard and suddenly, she recalled the night when she went to visit her mother at the hospital. They had gone out for a walk, and she left her laptop in the room. Liam! She thought and almost exclaimed. He said he had been to the room and didn’t see us. Can it be him that stole the draft?! But he’s in the construction business. Why would he steal the draft and give it to Rare Gem? What good does it do to him?
Brianna couldn’t understand. He and I have separated. Why would he do this to me? The more she thought about it, the angrier she grew, and she took out her phone and called Liam.
“What is it?” Liam asked plainly.
“Why did you do it?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Thief! You stole my design.”
“I have no idea what you are talking about. Brianna, I sincerely feel sorry that I broke up with you, but…” Liam sounded apologetic.
“Where are you now?” Brianna cut him short.
“Why?”
“I need to talk to you in person.”
“I’m with Zara. I can’t see you now.”
“Isn’t Zara in the hospital? Right. I’m going to see my Mom anyway. I shall go and visit Zara and talk to you. That sounds reasonable.”
“She’s left the hospital. She’s well now, and we are having lunch together. Brianna, please be reasonable. You and I are not meant to be, and you know it. I don’t want Zara to misunderstand.” Liam said and hung up.
Brianna looked at the screen of her phone and bit her lips. What shall I do? Are there cameras in the hospital? Perhaps there are in the corridor. If I can check the surveillance camera, then I can find out.
However, Brianna didn’t have the right to do so, so she called Scott to ask for help.
Scott sneered, “I have checked. They said none of the cameras worked on the night you visited your mother. Brianna, it looks like I have underestimated your ex. He even had the guts to cause trouble in my private hospital!”
“I don’t think he would be capable…”
“No, he isn’t, but what if he’s just working for someone capable?” Scott cut her short.
Brianna was shocked, “But who can it be?”
“And how will I know?” Scott was standing by the window in his office, looking down at the streets and buildings.
He knew that it was very likely Jameson’s idea, however, he hadn’t found the proof yet, and before he was one hundred percent sure, he couldn’t do anything about Jameson. For now, he would just leave Brianna to wonder and worried.
I shall find out how and why Liam William was bribed and stole the draft of the design to sell to Rare Gem. Scott thought. Before he hung up, he said coldly, “Have a look on YouTube and see what’s on the front page now.”
“Huh?” Brianna had no idea what he meant.
Scott hung up, and Brianna quickly searched online. She was shocked as she stared at the photos and video of her drinking in clubs and bars with Liam and his clients. The angles that the photos were taken and how they were cleverly edited had succeeded in creating an image of Brianna as a shameless slut. The description under the photos was even worse.
Some even commented that Brianna had slept with the boss of Rare Gem to beg him to give her the designs; that she was making lots of money sleeping with rich businessmen, but under the disguise as a fake talented designer.
She had somehow become the target of cruel gossips and accusations. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down as she felt the anger boiling inside her. She rubbed her temples and wondered what she could do. How can I prove that it’s Liam that stole my drafts? Perhaps he has still kept it in his phone or computer, or USB? As long as I can prove to people that it is my original design, then I can change how people think of me, and I can find a way to delete those ridiculous photos and videos.
Brianna thought, and her head ached. But how? Then all of a sudden, she thought of Liam’s grandmother, Rebecca William.
Rebecca was pretty much the boss of the Williams. Everyone in the family had to respect her, and no one dared to go against her will.
Zara Berry was the only daughter of Nelson Berry, spoiled and selfish. The Berry family was more successful than the Williams and Rebecca were, of course very pleased to know that her grandson was dating Zara Berry. She had even spent quite a lot of money buying Zara’s presents to please her.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
I’ve got an idea! Brianna thought and rang Rebecca. “Mrs. Williams, Rebecca, how have you been?”
Ever since Brianna’s father died, Rebecca had changed her attitude towards Brianna noticeably. She was pretty much forcing Brianna to leave Liam. Now that Brianna and Liam had separated and Brianna suddenly called her, she was alert and suspicious. “Alright, Brianna. What is it?”
“I’m just calling to tell you that I’m happy for you. You have a very successful grandson. Liam has just signed a big contract lately. I’m sure Fortune Construction Company will do great!” Brianna said rather cheerfully.
“A big contract? I haven’t heard.” Rebecca said, surprised.
“Oh, haven’t you? But don’t you know that Liam has been taking Zara out shopping lately, buying all sorts of luxury stuff as he has made a lot of money now.”
What Rebecca enjoyed the most was gambling and shopping. She loved dressing up expensively. She hadn’t had much luck gambling lately, and so she gave up, and she could now only enjoy showing off by wearing her fancy outfits and jewels.
