Chapter 314 Infuriated, Lola pointed at Catelyn exasperatedly and spat, “Shut up! It’s all because of you. You’re just bitter that I kicked you out of the competition for plagiarism!” “You shut your mouth,” snarled Cedrick through gritted teeth. Lola shriveled when Cedrick stared at her so viciously. It felt as though someone pulled her by the legs to hell. Granny Atherton was her last hope! “You have to believe me, Grandma. I’ve been with you for so many years! Why would I do anything despicable?” sobbed Lola as she tugged on Granny Atherton’s hand feebly. However, not only did Granny Atherton not console her, but she even shoved her hand away heartlessly and looked at her as if she was a stranger. “You truly disappoint me, Lola.” Lola collapsed onto the floor as disbelief overtook her face. “What…do you mean?” “Miss Lola, you can stop acting now. Granny Atherton had ordered me to track your recent activities, and I’ve discovered that you’ve recently stationed a female employee out of the country. I managed to stop the employee before she flew off. Should I call her over for an interrogation?” spoke Kelly as she stared at Lola. “W…what?!” Lola shuddered in disbelief. ‘She’s been stopped? It…can’t be!’ Lola saw the plane take off with her own eyes! How could they have stopped her?
Granny Atherton took one look at Lola and knew at that instant that she had refused to give up. “Kelly, bring her in.”
Kelly nodded politely in response and gestured for the bodyguards to bring the employee in. The bodyguard quickly brought a woman in and tossed her onto the floor. Her hair was messy, and her eyes dilated in fear as if she had been through something traumatic. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
She took one look at Lola and immediately begged her, “Miss Atherton, I only did what you’ve told me and gave Catelyn the laxatives. Please, help me… Help me!”
Lola shuddered. She could not believe that they had managed to catch the employee.
That explained why Granny Atherton was so cold to her!
“I don’t even know you. I’ve no idea what you’re talking about!”
Lola knew she had nowhere else to run, but she knew if she gave in at this moment, she would be done for
She had to keep the act up.
The employee became vicious upon hearing Lola’s response. “You… How can you say that?
During the competition, when Queenie submitted her entry and you noticed that it was the same as Catelyn’s, you were the one who ordered for me to change Queenie’s submission date to make it seem like Catelyn plagiarized her design! “If it wasn’t for you who told me that Catelyn was just a broke woman with no titles, I’d never dare spike her with laxatives!
“Also, you wrote me a seventy thousand-dollar check that I haven’t cashed yet; it’s still in my luggage. That’s the proof that you’ve paid me off to do your dirty job!”
Lola, not expecting the employee to spit out everything, lost her composure as she staggered a few steps back. “N-no… That’s not true!”
Granny Atherton looked away and said to Kelly, “Search the luggage.”
The bodyguards dragged the luggage into the room and found the check within seconds. It was indeed a check worth 70000 dollars, written by Lola Atherton. Granny Atherton tossed the paper onto Lola’s face. “How do you explain this?”
The paper, though barely weighing anything, felt sharp like a blade against Lola’s skin.
