Bye, My Ex-husband

Chapter 83: Why Did You Sell Out The Company 

"What evidence do you have to pin this on me? I was mountain climbing this weekend and didn't come to work until this morning.Do you have any evidence to prove that I was the one behind this?"

Linda's words were groundless.

There was proof that Janessa wasn't inside the office that weekend.

What evidence could there be to prove that Janessa was the one behind it? If she could steal and sell the confidential documents without coming into the office, why would she come to work at all? Janessa was aware of Linda's hostility towards her, but she never expected Linda to use this opportunity to get her fired from the Planning Department.

Many people wanted Janessa to leave the company, and she couldn't let them have the satisfaction.

"If that's the case, then you must've done something to the computer.Whatever the case, the document was leaked to the public.The Gu Group is demanding the company to compensate for their losses.Do you have any idea how much money they're asking for?"

Linda slowly handed the document over to Janessa.

The Gu Group was demanding a compensation of three hundred million.

The company invested a lot of money in this cooperation, and Janessa was aware of that fact during the preliminary planning stage.

However, she didn't expect the Gu Group to demand this much compensation.

This number was much higher than the one she anticipated.

Janessa skimmed through the document in her hand and placed it back in front of Linda with a straight face.

Even if the company had to pay off the compensation for the Gu Group, it was Linda's smug attitude that rubbed her the wrong way.

Linda could barely contain the predatory grin on her face.

She slowly walked around her desk, casually checked her nails, and said, "I'm afraid that even if you mortgage your family's dying company, you won't be able to make up for the losses.

Janessa, I think you're done here."

Linda was confident that Janessa would be fired this time.

Janessa narrowed her eyes as she inspected Linda.

It was unfortunate for Janessa that she only noticed Linda now.

Initially, she thought that Linda was an intelligent woman who knew where to place her bet.

It was disappointing to find out that Linda was only concerned with short-term interests.

"Don't jump to conclusions so soon, Linda.Anything can still happen at this point.Don't try and fool yourself.You never know.You might wake up one day and find that nothing is what you thought it would be,"

Janessa warned with a smile.

Linda couldn't believe the words that came out of her mouth.

Whether Janessa released the plan or not, she was still in charge of the entire project.

Janessa was still accountable for whatever happened to that plan.

Even if she were innocent, the result would remain the same.

It would be impossible for Janessa to pay off the compensation, and there was no hope for her to stay in this field in the future.

"Well then, let's wait and see.Let's see what the bosses have to say about this."

Linda was sure that Janessa wouldn't be able to stay in the company for long.

When Janessa was fired from the Lu Group, Linda would make sure to get a recording of it so she could post it online for everyone to see.

When Janessa noticed the suspicious look on Linda's face, she could tell that Linda was probably scheming something.

However, Janessa thought it would be best not to call her out on it at that moment.

There was no reason to expose Linda just yet.

Janessa made sure to use this knowledge of Linda to her advantage when the opportunity came.

"Let's wait and see,"Janessa repeated.

She turned around to go to Rayan's office to explain the situation to him.

After all, she was the person in charge of this project.

Even if she didn't leak the plan,to some degree, she was still responsible for what had happened.

Before Janessa could walk out of Linda's office, the door was pushed open violently.

The man's face was furious.

Janessa instinctively took a step back to look at the man in front of her.

It was Rayan! To her surprise, Rayan had come downstairs to the planning department himself Did he come to scold her on this manner? Corbin followed closely behind him and winked at Janessa when he passed by.

"Get out," Rayan ordered.

Janessa turned to leave when Rayan suddenly gripped her wrist.

He held it so tightly that she felt like it was already bruised.

"What are you doing? Let go of me! Rayan!"

Janessa was furious at the way he was handling her.

If he had a problem with her, there was no need to get physical.

Why would he treat her like this in the office? It was probably because he believed that she uploaded the plan, but was he planning on murdering her in front of everyone? The atmosphere inside the office was intense.

Rayan glared at Linda, who quickly left the room with her mobile phone.

Before Linda left, she made sure to open the soundproofing equipment and to draw the curtains closed.

After a few moments, only Janessa and Rayan were inside the office.

With a hand gripping her wrist, Rayan dragged her into one corner of the room.

He towered over Janessa with a grimace on his face.

"Why did you sell out the company? What good would it do for you? The Lu family owes you nothing! Why would you stand against us like this?"

He placed a hand around the column of her neck and gradually tightened his grip.

Rayan couldn't believe it when he got the urgent call from the Gu Group that morning.

Janessa's idea was innovative, and he trusted her enough to put her in charge of this project.

The last thing he expected was for her to betray the company like this.

In the past, the Lu Group had helped the Qiu Group survive during tough times.

Without the support of the Lu Group, the Qiu Group would cease to exist.

He never expected Janessa to repay his family's kindness with enmity.

"I didn't do it! It was..."

Janessa hesitated.

She suspected that Gracie and Sally were behind this mess, but she had no proof to prove it at the moment.

There was no way for her to make a claim without proof.

If he wouldn't believe her, then why should she speak out? "If it wasn't you, then tell me who did it! I'm sure you didn't do this by yourself.You asked someone to do it for you, didn't you?"

Janessa's face turned red as he gripped her neck tighter.

As she began to feel breathless, Janessa began to struggle against him. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

His grip tightened further around her neck.

When he was close to suffocating her, she suddenly gave him a small smile and closed her eyes.

The bitter smile on her face shocked Rayan, and he immediately loosened his grip around her neck.

Janessa grabbed her neck as she slid down the wall, coughing as she gathered her breath.

"What's the matter? Are you growing soft on me? lf you're so sure that I leaked the plan, then why don't you just kill me?"

There was a part of her that felt disappointed.

For a moment, she thought that her life would end just now.

If she died because of Rayan, at least he would be overwhelmed with guilt when he discovered the truth.

Why did he let her go? Did he believe that she didn't do it? For a moment, Janessa couldn't figure out what was on his mind.

Nonetheless, she had survived to fight another day.
