Chapter 332
Aurelia’s only hope was that Kimberly would say something out of respect for Young Advertising. She turned to look at Kimberly.
Kimberly’s expression was solemn as she said, “Aurelia, you’ve gone too far this time. Even if you want to retaliate against Ms. Hank for bossing you around, you shouldn’t mess with other people’s things! I can’t help you this time.” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Aurelia wasn’t surprised at all by Kimberly’s words. Kimberly had always been critical of her and would never lend her a hand. Aurelia tensed up and was unable to respond to her words.
Eva pressed on aggressively, “Aurelia, there are witnesses and evidence. How do you plan to justify yourself? Or do you want to discuss how you’re going to compensate for 50 million?”
Aurelia bit her lip nervously as Eva continued berating her.
“Can’t you afford it? It’s your fault for being careless. I really don’t understand why Young Advertising would employ someone like you. It’s just their luck. If you don’t pay
I’ll call the police right now,” Eva threatened.

Kimberly hurried forward to blame Aurelia, saying, “Ms. Hanks, this is entirely Aurelia’s doing. It doesn’t represent the company. Our company has always approached your company with a friendly and serious attitude toward cooperation. We would never resort to retaliatory behavior.”
“Kimberly, do you take me for a fool? Given the circumstances, how can I believe this
isn’t something your company instructed Aurelia to do? I can’t possibly work with you. people,” Eva sneered.
Kimberly immediately took out her phone. “Our company has always been fair and impartial. I’ll call Mr. Zeller right away to dismiss Aurelia. It won’t affect the cooperation between our companies,” she said quickly.
Eva’s silence indicated her approval of Kimberly’s proposal.
It was at this moment that Aurelia snapped out of her daze and stepped forward to stop Kimberly.
“Wait a minute, the matter hasn’t been investigated thoroughly yet. Why should I be blamed for damaging the necklace?” Aurelia demanded.
Eva laughed. “Listen to what she’s saying. We all saw it. Is she still asking this kind of question?”
Aurella took a deep breath and said calmly, “Ms. Hanks, I did see a wire here. If you think I’m making excuses, then the scene should be thoroughly examined before any accusation is made toward me.

“Also, you were the one who insisted that I fetch the briefcase. This indicates that knew in advance there were valuable items in it. However, you didn’t inform me about it. And why would the briefcase open so easily? Isn’t that strange?”
The briefcase had a combination lock, and there were soft pads inside to secure the necklace. Even if the necklace fell from a certain height, the briefcase shouldn’t have opened so easily.
Yet, all it took was for Aurelia to stumble and the briefcase flew open, causing the necklace to fall out. The situation was too coincidental.
“What are you implying, Aurelia? Do I have to tell everyone we were carrying a 50 million dollar necklace? Are you suggesting that we are trying to frame you?” Eva retorted.

“Since you asked me to get it, don’t I have the right to know what’s inside?” Aurelia shot
back.
Eva sneered, “Why you… Is that the tone you’re going to use when facing a client? You’ll either be fired or taken to the police station today.‘
“Either way, you’ll compensate for the 50 million, with or without your cooperation. I have plenty of witnesses,” Eva said indifferently with a smile, confident that Aurelia was powerless.
Aurelia glanced around as everyone stared at her, each condemning her with their eyes.
It was almost as though they were saying, “Why would you provoke Ms. Hanks? You got
us into this mess.
“It’s so annoying. Someone just came along and ruined our work,” a staff complained.
Someone else shook their head in disappointment. “Damn, that’s just my luck. We are all getting scolded when we get back.”
Though they didn’t say it out loud, the messages in their eyes seemed to pierce through Aurelia all the same.
She clenched her fists to maintain her composure.
“You have three minutes to think, or I’m calling the police. The destruction of others‘ property worth 50 million would be quite a big crime,” Eva urged as she curled her lips. with a sharp glint in her eyes.
This action indicated to Aurelia that there was more to the story. However, no one dared to oppose Eva. The wire that tripped her was also somehow gone. What else could she do?
