"Who says there's no bad blood between us? Deata's eles tumed red.

"you only just joined Universal Architecture, yet you're already part of such an important project. Even the designs are you, I've been here for two years, and I'm Whitney's expersalon didn't waver, her face stillenld. "I didn't steal or cheat. I rely on my own abilities. But that's not the whole truth, in 167-

meara troge for a moment before quicklrinsisting. "That is the truth. I'm just jealous of you???

At this moment, the office was empty except for the two of them.

Whitney looked at her. "If that's your reason, there are plenty of people in the company better than you. Why didn't you go after them!

Brata's words caught in her throat. "1" She stammeted for a long time bat couldn't say anything.

"You didn't do all this out of your will, do you?" Whitney pointed to the security camera overhead. "Someone forced you, otherwise, you wouldn't have done something like this, knowing there were cameras.

Suddenly, Beata broke down and started crying uncontrollably. She grabbed Wifiliney's hands and pleaded, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please give me another chance. Don't tell the company.. It was Rachel who made ine dati......" Whitney was shocked "Rachel?=

She had thought it was Amy who had orchestrated this

Beata nodded. "She told me to find a way to frame you, to get the company to line you. thad no choice"

*Is she holding something over you?"

"Beata lowered her head. "Rachel and I were college classmates. My family was poor, and I once stole something from another student. She saw me.

When Rachel leamed that Beata was also working at Universal Architecture, she used this incident to threaten her. If Beata didn't comply, Rachel would expose everyt

The entire situation was now clear

Whitney said, "I agree that your situation is pitiful, but that's no excuse for doing something wrong. You nearly got me herd.

She paused before continuing, "I won't report you to the company, but you'll have to face the consequences of what you did. You should resign yourself.

in this industry, the circle wasn't huge. It Beata got need, it would stain her record, and it would be nearly impossible for her to find workagain.

By resigning voluntarily, she would at least have the chance to stay in this field

Two days later, Beata resigned, citing the need to care for her sick mother.

As she approached her room, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

The door was opened. Rachel was holding a dazzling wedding gown and comparing it against her reflection in the minor, looking completely enraptured Before coming back, the housekeeper had told Whitney that the wedding gown from Colors Boutique had already been delivered to hereDOCT

"Does it look good?"

"It looks beautiful, Rachel replied reflexively. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, she whipped her head around to see Whitey standing at the doorway in an instant, she threw the wedding gown onto the bed. Whitney leaned against the doorframe, her gaze cold and plescing.

Slowly, she stood straight and stepped into the room.

Rachel had becaught red-handed. Any normal person would have felt ashamed or embarrassed, but she didn't seem to feel asheed of shame

With her chin raised, she said boldly, "So what if I tried it on? It would only be fitting if I wore it. You stole what was supposed to be mine." Whitney didn't respond, still slowly walling toward her.

Seeing White's silence, Helgrew more confident. "I'm carrying Uncle Damian's child. Everything you have now was originally supposed to belong to me "Whitney raised her hand and slapped her across the face

"You shameless

"How dare you"

Another slap followed.

Rachel held her cheek and stumbled back several steps, afraid Whitney might slap her again. She glared at her angrily. "How dare you hit me?

"You don't know why I slapped you?" Whitney sneered coldly

Rachel immediately understood. Whitney wasn't angry because she tried on the wedding gown but because she had found out about Beata's actions and knew Dachel was behind it.

Clenching her teeth, Rachel cursed silently, "That traitor actually got caught."

just as she was about to say something, her gaze shifted to the doorway she covered her swollen face, and her tone suddenly! have touched your wedding gown. It's just so beautiful. I couldn't help but look at it. I'm sorry! tumed pitiful. "Whitney, I shouldn'tnoveldrama

"Wholet you in heee?' Damian's voice came from behind.

Whitney knew he must have arrived. Otherwise, Rachel wouldn't have suddenly switched from angry to pitiful

"The housekeeper brought the wedding gownup earlier, and I got curious and followed along to take a look. I really envy Whitney for having such a beautiful goon," Rachel said, beginning to cry. Tears streamed down her face. Damian looked toward Whitney. "Don't argue with her over something as trivial as a dress"

If this had been in the past, hearing that would have hurt Whitney and made her furious. But now.

She smiled faintly. "I'm not arguing. Since she's already here, I'll just move to another room.
