Chapter 106
Thalassa quickly chimed in, “Mr. Sinclair, although Joie has always been jealous about me, she’s just a pawn spreading these rumors to get me kicked out of the Sinclair group.”
“Thalassa, you shouldn’t shoot off your mouth without evidence! No one’s controlling me, I did all this myself!” Joie retorted, glaring at Thalassa nervously.
Thalassa, “I overheard at the staircase…”
“Me talking to myself?” Joie cut her off.
She was sure Thalassa hadn’t seen that person. There were no cameras in the stairwell, so there was no way to identify them.
Thalassa was at a loss for words.
Seeing the intent in Jole’s eyes, she suddenly realized she had no proof.
Lysander wouldn’t believe her word alone.
She could only swallow her upcoming words!
“I admit I can be a bit neurotic, often talking to myself after doing something wrong. If you heard me, I admit it.” Joie explained, all in an attempt to win Mr. Sinclair’s trust.
“Enough!” Lysander snapped.
His cold and angry voice had Joie shaking like a leaf.
Thalassa also flinched at his rebuke.
Lysander sternly said, “Joie, your behaviours have damaged the company’s image. Half a year’s salary will be deducted, and you’re fired. Never come back!”
Hearing about the salary deduction, Joie was pained, but Lysander’s aura was too overpowering. She didn’t dare to fight back and left the office trembling, like she was running away
Lysander’s icy gaze shifted to Thalassa and he said, “What are you still doing here?”
Startled, Thalassa quickly prepared to leave.
“Mr. Sinclair, we’ve found the mole.” At that moment, Faye briskly entered the office.
Seeing Thalassa about to leave, Faye grabbed her sleeve and dragged her in front of the desk, saying, “Thalassa, it’s you! You have to cooperate with our investigation!”
Thalassa frowned, clueless about what was happening.
In Faye’s hand, was a USB stick.
She plugged it into the computer and a surveillance video played on the office projector..
In the video, Thalassa was cleaning a conference room when she noticed a stack of documents on the table. She went over and took a look.
Faye explained, “Thalassa, you stole the Sinclair group’s fashion design plans and sold them to our competitor, causing problems at our fashion show today. We’ve even been accused of plagiarizing their designs. Stealing business secrets and selling them to a competitor is illegal, do you know that?”
Thalassa was chilled to the bone, feeling wronged to the core. “I didn’t, I didn’t steal anything.”
“Your record shows you were caught for theft before, a repeat offender and you claim you didn’t steal anything?” Faye scrutinized her, her arrogant face filled with contempt.
Previously, Isabella had fabricated a file about Thalassa, stating that she had been caught for stealing before.
After Thalassa’s application with Evelyn’s ID card was discovered, she was ready for dismissal. That’s when Isabella came to Lysander, briefing him on her background, including her previous arrest record for theft.
Thalassa overheard Isabella slandering her like this.
She wanted to clarify, but Lysander was furious at the time and she was feeling guilty and uneasy about using her mother’s ID card.
She couldn’t find the chance to explain and was kicked out of the office by Lysander.
She thought that after her fake ID card was exposed, she would be fired and this would all end.
