Chapter 43 You Are Fired

Talia held the recorder pen and pressed the switch.

Immediately, the conversation between the two began to play.

"Talia, I've transferred 250 thousand dollars to your account.After that, I'll give you another 250 thousand.With this money, you can have your son treated.With the rest, you can raise him to be strong, healthy and comfortable."

The voice in the recorder was none other than Nina's.

Talia’s voice was a little nervous albeit quite excited as she asked, "So much money...What do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple.You just need to replace some drawings in Annabel's office," Nina said.

"But if anyone finds out..."

Talia murmured in hesitation.

"Don't worry.You can go to her office and pretend to be cleaning when no one is around.No one will suspect you."

Then Nina added with a chuckle, "Besides, as a cleaner, you earn 3 thousand a month.How many years do you have to work to earn 500 thousand? After this task is completed, you can resign and go to the countryside to hide.You can find another job after this matter is forgotten.Isn't it a perfect plan?"

Talia seemed convinced and said, "Okay, I agree!"

Nina was very glad to hear this.

"That's good! I'll inform you of exactly what you're expected to do when it’s time.Remember, only you and I know this matter.Don't let anyone else find out about it!"

"Don't worry.I won't tell anyone," Talia promised.

Then the recording came to an end.

Annabel looked at Nina and sneered, "Nina, what else do you want to say now?"

"No, that's not me!"

Nina shouted in denial, her face pale and her forehead dripping with sweat.She would never admit to it. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Everyone here has heard it.It's clearly your voice,"

Annabel retorted.

She turned on the computer and opened an email.

"If you insist that the voice is not yours, I have other evidence."

She put the email on the projector so that everyone would see the contents clearly.

"This is the record of Talia’s bank account.I've asked my friend to check it.The sum of money was transferred to Talia via a foreign account, and the account holder is..."

Annabel paused and looked straight at Nina.

"It's your father, Bernie Jones."

Nina's eyes widened in disbelief.

How could Annabel find out it was her father's account? She had been very careful!

"I have human testimony and material evidence.Nina, do you still think I am falsely accusing you?"Annabel asked.

"No...It's impossible,"

Nina wanted to defend herself, but she couldn't say a word.

The truth was clear to everyone.

No matter what she said, it would be in vain.She was doomed! This time, there was no two ways about it.

"Annabel, it's you,"

Nina suddenly croaked, her eyes red.She jumped up and rushed at Annabel.

"You bitch! It's all a trap you set!"

"Trap?"

Annabel scoffed as she grabbed Nina's hand before she could slap her.

"If you didn't try to frame me in the first place, how would I have gotten any evidence? This is called shooting yourself in the foot!"

"Nina, why did you do this?"

Rupert, who had been sitting silently all along, suddenly asked.His eyes looked cold and hard, and at the sound of his voice, the room became eerily quiet.

"Mr.Benton, I..."

Nina stuttered helplessly.

Rupert's cold eyes made her shiver involuntarily.

It was as if she had fallen into an icy lake.

The coldness in Rupert's eyes was like a sharp knife stabbing into her body.

Without waiting for a response from her, he declared, "Nina Jones, you're fired.From this moment on, you're no longer an employee of Benton Group."

What? Fired? Nina's face turned pale.

"No, Mr.Benton.You can't fire me!"

Nina shouted as if she'd lost her mind and swiftly pounced on him.

"Rupert, do you realize I did all this because of you? I love you! Don't you know that? Since the day I came into this company, I've been in love with you!"

"Fuck off!"

Rupert growled, pushing her away in disgust, making her lose her balance and fall on the floor.

Nina's forehead hit the corner of the table, causing blood to flow.She raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her that was so indifferent and heartless to her.

"But you never pay attention to me.No matter how hard I work and how much I've done for you, you never pay attention to me.I thought you were born to be indifferent to all women.I believed that as long as I worked hard, you would see how good I was and fall in love with me one day.But everything changed since Annabel came! You only paid attention to her.She's just a bumpkin from the

countryside.How could she be your fiancee? How could she get your love? She never deserved it! Annabel is a bitch and she doesn't deserve you!"

Annabel rolled her eyes.She was just a nominal fiancee.

The girl Rupert truly loved was Candy.But she didn't expect that Nina was so much in love with Rupert.

Unfortunately for her, she had fallen in love with the wrong person and gone about it the wrong way.

Jealousy had blinded her.

For the sake of keeping Rupert for herself, she framed Annabel and sacrificed the company's interests.

At the end, she only destroyed her own future.

"Nina Jones, leave Benton Group within ten minutes.I don't want to see you ever again!"

Rupert ordered, looking down at her in disgust.

"No, Rupert, listen to me.I love you! Please don't drive me away.Please..."

But before Nina could say anything more, Finley quickly pulled her on her feet and dragged her to the door, "Mr.Benton doesn't want to see you.You'd better leave right now!"

Seeing Nina crying as she was sent away, Annabel frowned slightly.She had just given the woman a dose of her own medicine.

If she had been a little careless, she would probably be the one being driven away now.

"That's all for today.I don't want to hear anything like this happening again,"

Rupert warned, glancing around at everyone present with his sharp eyes.

None of them dared to look into his angry eyes.

They all lowered their heads, except for Annabel.

Rupert walked out of the conference room, but he stopped at the door.He turned around and gave Annabel a meaningful look.

"Annabel, come to my office," he ordered.
