Chapter 10
Debby watched the luxury Mercedes Benz pull away; her heart filled with jealousy. Back at the office, she sarcastically said to her colleagues:
“Do you know why Ellinor could leave so easily? She’s been a sugar baby to some rich dude, she doesn’t need this job!”
“Sugar baby?” The colleagues gathered around, intrigued.
Debby exaggerated, “I just went to take some stuff Ellinor left behind and saw her getting into a luxury car with an old man. She was sitting on his lap, they looked really cozy!”
“Old man? How old?”
Debby. “Maybe in his 60s!”
“Hmm, old enough to be her grandpa. Who knew Ellinor could be so shameless!”
“Never judge a book by its cover.”
Gemma couldn’t stand it anymore, “Debby, don’t spread lies. Ellinor isn’t like that!”
Debby sneered, “Am I lying? I saw it myself! If you don’t believe rne, go check the surveillance footage and see how Ellinor got into that Mercedes!”
Gemma was speechless. How could she have access to the company’s surveillance? Debby was obviously, tormenting her and smearing Ellinor even after she had left. It was too much!
Gemma couldn’t argue with Debby, so she swallowed her anger and resumed her work. Then she noticed something strange, “Hold on, what’s this? Why is there a weird file on my computer desktop?”
Another colleague chimed in, “I’ve got a file too. I don’t know what it is!”
“Strange, me too! Let’s open it and see….”
After everyone opened the file, the office fell into silence. They all looked at Debby with mocking eyes.
Debby didn’t like their stares, “Why are you all looking at me like that?”
Gemma stood up again, more assertive this time, “Debby, so it was you who played games during work and caused the company’s computer to be hacked!”
Debby looked shocked, her guilt showing, “Gemma, what are you talking about? Be careful, if you don’t have evidence, I’ll sue you for defamation!”
Gemma produced the evidence, confidently saying, “Am I talking nonsense? Didn’t you cheat people in the game for their gear and then block them after getting it? Turns out the other party is a professional hacker who hacked into your computer and even the company’s system. Yet you blamed everything on Ellinor and even changed today’s meeting PPT when I wasn’t paying attention! The evidence is in the computer. The hacker compiled your actions into a file, and we each have a copy!”
What?!
Facing her colleagues‘ strange looks, Debby felt extremely guilty. She nervously returned to her desk. The new file on her desktop contained screenshots of her chat with the gamer and footage from the surveillance camera when she secretly changed the PPT…
How could this be?!
Joseph walked out of his office expressionless, his anger couldn’t be hidden. “Who is Debby? Get her to pack up and leave immediately for violating company rules!”
Debby went pale. She started to wonder if Joseph’s computer also had the file?
Morgan heard Joseph’s roar and immediately came out of his office, looking very tense.
Debby saw Morgan and ran over to him for help, “You have to help me….”
Morgan sternly glared at Debby, pushed her away, and ignored her. He wanted to distance himself from this trouble–causing relative!
In the end, Debby’s salary was all deducted, she was fired and left with a dirty face.
Served her right!
Gemma felt incredibly relieved and immediately texted Ellinor the good news.
Meanwhile.
In the backseat of a luxury Mercedes Benz.
Ellinor placed her personal items aside and sat very close to the door.
Next to her was her ‘newly wedded husband” Theo, but since she got into the car, Theo hadn’t looked at her once. He just focused on his phone looking expressionless.
Her phone buzzed twice, Ellinor put down the box in her hand and picked up her phone..
It was a message from Gemma via WhatsApp, telling her Debby was fired and Morgan was severely reprimanded by Joseph.
Ellinor smiled slightly, not surprised.
When the hacker told her the reason for attacking Nexus Industries‘ system, she gave him one suggestion. Make a precise strike instead of hurting innocent people.
Debby deserved her karma!
After replying to Gemma, Ellinor unconsciously crossed her legs, her slender legs slightly crossed.
She was only wearing a men’s oversized T–shirt, and since she was sitting, the hem moved up a bit. The sunlight shone through the car window on her delicate skin. It was hard to look away.
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze fleeting over the two slender legs next to him. They were as thin as his forearm, too thin.
“Is this how you young people attract men’s attention?”
Ellinor looked at Theo in confusion, “What? Dude, I don’t think I did anything?”
Theo put his phone away, his eyes locked on her, “What are you wearing?”
Ellinor looked down, then realized, “Oh… your shirt! The maid dirtied the clothes I was supposed to wear this morning, so I had to wear your shirt out!*
The man massaged his forehead, frowning, “Did I agree to this?”
Ellinor rolled her eyes internally and muttered discontentedly. “It’s just a shirt, do I need to call for permission? You’re so stingy.” Besides, she didn’t have his contact, how was she supposed to get his permission?
Theo’s forehead vein was prominent, “What did you say?”
Ellinor said with a smile, “I mean… Mr. Blanchet, do you really want to see your wife making the headlines for streaking on your first day of marriage?”
Theo sat in silence.
His gaze sharpened slightly, “What if I said I don’t mind?”
Ellinor gritted her teeth, “Then I’ll strip off my clothes right now and return them to you, and go streaking!”
The corner of Theo’s mouth lifted slightly, “Go ahead, and strip.”
Ellinor felt she was really out of luck this year. How could she have run into such a headache of a man!
She was silent for two seconds.
Fine, I’ll strip!”
