Chapter 131
Heman looked through it and finally stopped on a uniquely shaped pink diamond necklace.
Girls should like diamonds and pink color.
“This one.”
Frank was a little surprised. The first time Hernan met his sister, he had personally chosen a necklace worth 4.8 million dollars for her.
It seemed that Heman had accepted this sister from the bottom of his heart.
The helicopter flew back to America and finally landed on the top floor of the skyscraper at the headquarters of Daybreak Group.
When Herman get off the plane, 30 executives were waiting on both sides.
All the group employees were cautious because of his arrival and dared not make any mistakes.
On the other side.
Martin held Paige in his arms and turned on his phone to let her choose. “Let’s see if there are any new products that PQ Fashion has launched.”
On the page, it was the jewelry series that PQ Fashion had just launched.
Paige refused without even looking at it, “I already have a lot.”
She was a person who did not love jewelry. She felt that it was a burden and troublesome
Moreover, these jewels were designed by her… It was not interesting at all.
Martin lowered his head and looked at her lovingly. “My Paige is so outstanding. I have to reward you.”
Reward?
“You are good at playing the piano…
Paige understood. It should be that he knew she was Vallorie.
“When will you play it to me.
His gaze became gentler.
Paige was an outstanding woman.
“When we have time.”
Martin’s chin gently stroked her soft hair. When he thought of the music she played in the video, his an extraordinary woman.
“How about this one?” Martin’s eyes fell on a uniquely shaped pink diamond necklace. “It suits you very well.” Paige’s skin was fair enough, and wearing such a necklace would make her temperament more refined.
“No…”
“If you don’t wear it, you can still keep it.”
“I really don’t need to….”
In the conference room of Daybreak Group, all the executives reported all the work in this quarter carefully. They then listened to the future development and the solutions to the problem. Finally, Herman ended the meeting. Everyone was relieved and got up to leave the conference room.
“Heman is extremely serious. I am sweating all the time…”
“Me too. Look at the sweat on my forehead…”
“Every time Mr. Lusk comes back, I feel like I’m on a cloud nine. But once he leaves, I start to miss him.”
“Don’t be sad, Mr. Lusk will not like ordinary girls. Even if he wants to find a girlfriend, he will find a rich young lady of the same social status.
I don’t know what kind of woman can be a match for Hernan. Anyway, I think it is very scary…”
Frank followed Herman and hurried out of the conference room. “Mr. Lusk, I’m sorry. I just missed it. The necklace was bought by someone else.”
Heman heard this, and his face remained unchanged. “Raise the price.”
Money could buy everything.
‘The buyer isn’t someone who lacks money. It’s said that the buyer is PQ Fashion’s super VIP…” Frank added.
“We must get it before dark.”
“Yes.” Frank knew that Herman would get what he liked no matter what. Although PQ Fashion said that the buyer was a big shot, no one could afford to offend him… What a joke! There were people that Hernan couldn’t afford to offend?
“Oh, Mr. Lusk, there is a fashion design competition. It is a national competition. The organizers want to invite you to be the referee.” Although the Lusk family was not mainly doing clothing business, Herman had a distinguished status. Last year, he had just entered the clothing industry. He had a very high talent for design. A shirt he had designed when he was young had caused a stir.
But ever since he took over the family business, he had been focusing on his career and often went abroad. Not to mention his interests and hobbies, he had seldom gone back home.
The organizers needed a few big shots to win its fame. If they could invite Heman, this competition would attract more attention.
“No time.” Heman did not want to waste time on this kind of boring competition. This time, he came back for his sister. He would be busy and would not be able to go home for two or three months. “Yes, I will decline it.”
As soon as Paige returned to the company, Deon ran to her and said, “Ms. Paige, big news. We will launch 33 new products tomorrow, and 23 of them are exactly the same as the new products of the rival company. The key is that the rival company released those products they pirated and sold about eight products today! They were well sold on live broadcast platforms and online shops. I have calculated that they have s thousand pieces. According to this speed, it will soon break through ten thousand!”
Paige’s eyes became cold. How could it be?
There were 33 new products in the company. How could 23 of them look exactly the same as the rival company’s?
There must be someone behind this.
“We don’t know what is going on for the time being.” Deon was very anxious. ‘Because these 23 identical new products were all designed by Mariela, Just now, Mr. Ingram held a meeting and scolded Mariela. Mariela, she…”
“What happened to her?”
“She cried sadly.”
Paige hurried into the elevator. When she arrived at the Design Department, she heard Nigel’s harsh words.
“What are you crying for? Don’t make me a bad guy.
“They are new products launched by the rival company today. I asked someone to buy back 23 of them. Open your eyes wide and take a look. Tell me what happened!” Nigel threw all the products at Mariela.
Mariela was stunned. Looking at these new products, she felt wronged and confused. “I don’t know…”
She really did not know what was going on.
“You must have stolen others’ design drafts.”
“I didn’t!” Mariela explained in a broken voice. “They are my design…”
She did not steal anything from anyone.
“Do you have any proof? Mariela is not such a person. She is very talented in design. She doesn’t need to copy other people’s drawings at all!” Henry said angrily. Mariela could design these styles herself.
“Then how do you explain all of this?” Nigel pointed at the clothes on the ground and asked loudly. “It’s not only one of them that looks the same. There are 23 pieces in total. Can you give me a reasonable explanation?”
Henry looked at the clothes on the ground. He did not understand what was going on, but he said fairly, “When Mariela drew her drafts every day, everyone in our department saw it…”
“Yes, Mariela did not copy. I can prove that she designed these herself.”
“She often worked overtime until midnight. Everyone in the department had gotten off work. Only she was still here. Once I forgot to take the keys, I discovered she was still working when I returned to the company…
“Mariela loves her job. She will never do such a disgraceful and humiliating thing.”
“I believe in Mariela.”
Chapter 132
Nigel sneered, not listening to their explanation, “She can first memorize all the details in her mind, and then draw them out bit by bit every day as a disguise!”
“I didn’t.” Mariela was so eager to prove her innocence that she cried. “They are my works! if there are plagiarizers, they must be them!”
When Nigel heard this, he immediately laughed, “Who are they? Elegance Couture! A famous clothing company! The one who designed these 23 new products is the famous designer, Layton Brocket! Who are you? A little girl who just graduated! Does he know you? How could he copy your works?”
..” Mariela really didn’t know how to explain all the accusations put on her.
“If you are really talented in design, why didn’t you! see you design such a stunning work before?”
Mariela hurriedly explained, “Before I drew these manuscripts, I received a lot of guidance from Ms. Paige. I had a steady flow of inspiration, so I created these!”
If not for Paige’s inspiration, Mariela wouldn’t have been able to move forward!
Nigel sneered, “Why does it sound like Ms. Paige taught you to copy other people’s works?”.
“No!” Mariela was angry and anxious. She wiped her tears and continued, “You can misinterpret my meaning and insult me as you will, but you can’t insult Ms. Paige! Ms. Paige is not such a person! She can’t do such a thing!”.
“You are so agitated that it is easy for others to misunderstand that you are protecting your accomplices, or you are afraid that the matter will be exposed…”
“You went too far!” Mariela clenched her fists and really wanted to punch him. He was too much of a bully!
At that moment, a cold voice sounded.
“How old is Mr. Ingram? Bullying a little girl?”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was Paige. Paige was here!
Everyone looked at Paige as if they had seen their savior.
Before Paige came, the entire department, especially Mariela, had suffered a lot!
“Ms. Paige…” When Mariela saw her, thousands of emotions welled up in her eyes. She loosened her fists and tears rolled down her face.
“Wipe off your tears.” Paige looked at Mariela and admonished her gently, “Tears won’t help with your innocence. Justice comes either way.”
Mariela nodded obediently and immediately wiped away her tears.
Nigel looked at Paige, who looked like she was protecting her child, and sneered, “Such a big scandal happened in the company. I just found some clues, and Ms. Paige came to intervene. People who don’t know will think that Ms. Paige is here to steal the credit.”
Paige sneered Mr. Ingram is so eager to force people to confess. You are even more impatient than the police. People who don’t know will think that you are in a hurry to find someone to take the blame.” When this was said, the whole department was shocked.
Nigel’s expression immediately changed, “What do you mean! This is obviously because Mariela, the young girl, copied other people’s works to win her fame and fortune!”
“Oh, are you a roundworm in her stomach? Do you know what she is thinking?”
Nigel was exasperated, “I know that you two have a good relationship, but she has made such a big mistake, and the headquarters demanded an investigation! You can’t protect her!” “Are you in charge now?”
Paige thought, why didn’t I receive any news from the headquarters?
Nigel, a vice president, had received the instructions before me?
It’s obvious that this old man was lying! Using the headquarters to put pressure on me!
“The new product this time has produced 110 thousand pieces, worth tens of millions, and all of them are now in the warehouse! There are 23 designs suspected of plagiarism! I want to see how you’re going to make the debut! If you have time to argue with me here, you might as well submit your resignation! If the headquarter helps, at least you can redeem some losses!
Although he said that, Nigel knew better than anyone else that under such an urgent situation, the headquarters would at most redeem some economic losses, and in terms of credit… They would probably suffer heavy losses!
There were goods in the warehouse, but they could not be sold. They had agreed on the time, but they did not hand over the goods to others. It was a big taboo for Daybreak Group!
Nigel secretly cheered in his heart, thinking, she’ll be toasted this time!
“A meeting immediately! Leaving these words behind, Paige left the Design Department first.
All the company executives rushed to the conference room. Paige sat in the main seat, still with the strong vibe of a big boss.
There was no trace of panic on her face after such a thing happened.
Everyone admired Paige’s strong psychological quality in their hearts.
‘Ms. Paige, Elegance Couture’s twenty-three pieces of clothing are exactly the same as our company in terms of color, patterns, workmanship, and length! There can’t be such a coincidence!
“They previously hired a star to endorse their products. Now, those new products are selling particularly well. Those who see the new products will definitely take the lead and think that they designed those new products first!
“At present, we have no evidence to prove that they plagiarized Mariela’s works. It looks like Mariela plagiarized them first.
“If the goods in the warehouse can’t be sold, we will lose a lot of money!
“Ms. Paige, the design drafts were drawn by Mariela. Could it be that she was really muddle-headed for a moment…”
‘No.’ Paige interrupted before the manager could finish “Mari would not do such a thing, nor would she betray the company.”
“Are you a roundworm in her stomach?” Nigel retorted with what Paige had just said, ‘Cats hide their claws…”
“I am not a roundworm in her stomach, but I am not like someone who only gets puddings in their head, and their IQ is as thin as the air on the plateau.”
“What do you mean?”
“I said you’re ***. Paige bluntly said, “Which plagiarizer will copy all of them? Can you think about it with your toes?”
“You…” Nigel temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart!
Nigel thought; Paige would soon leave the main seat. Mariela will be charged with plagiarism and the Lusk family will pursue the responsibility. Not only will Paige have to compensate for the huge loss, but she will also have to go to jail.
At that time, I will take my position back!
What she is doing now is useless!
Paige’s gaze fell on everyone. “Two main topics for the meeting. First, I firmly believe that Mari will not plagiarize. I believe in her character. Then the problem is, the design drafts were designed by her. Why would the rival company produce them ahead of us? Why did the rival company produce them in advance and make a big fuss? It feels like they’re looking at us as a joke.”
When she said this, she glanced at Nigel. Nigel turned his face away and did not have the patience to listen to her.
“Only I and the people from the Design Department have seen these 23 new designs. If it is passed to the rival company, the mole is among us.”
When Nigel heard this, he just wanted to say that the possibility of Paige was the most.
Unexpectedly, Paige added, “Of course, there is also the possibility that someone used tricks to betray the company…”
Chapter 133
When Nigel heard this, he immediately choked.
“The second is how to solve this matter.”
As soon as Paige finished speaking. Deon handed over an iPad, ‘Ms. Paige, I searched online. These are Layton’s previous awarded works.”
Paige glanced at them. They were all some unknown small competitions. The style of her design was not like the fresh ladylike style of Manela’s design. “Everyone can take a look at the style of the designer. It is obvious that he plagiarized Mari’s work.” Paige placed the iPad on the conference table. Everyone saw that and found it was true.
“His design style is more like a foreign style. It is different from Mari’s style!”
“It looks like he really copied Mari’s drawings…’
“But he is a famous designer! How could he plagiarize a junior’s works?”
“Famous?” Paige thought it was funny.
“Yes, he has won hundreds of awards over the years…”
Paige sneered, “It depends on what award he gets. For some awards, one award is worth more than a hundred. But for some, you’d better not have one.”
“But Mari has not participated in any competitions. After graduation, she works in our company and devotes herself to design. How does well he know her and her drawing?” Someone did not understand. “That’s why I said that there is a mole in the company. The drawing has been leaked. The other party has gotten the drawings and produced them before us, holding the debut ahead of us.” Paige said! How dare this person do it!”
“If I find out who this mole is, I will beat him to death!”
“They must have given him a lot of benefits…”
“Ms. Paige, what’s the point of you leading everyone to discuss this now?” Nigel, who was at the side, could not help but ridicule, “The most important thing is the debut tomorrow! Even if you have no way, please don’t waste time…”
“Who says I don’t have a way? Paige raised her eyebrows, and her whole body revealed a confident vibe.
Everyone was stunned, thinking, does Ms. Paige still have a way out in such a condition?
Nigel was stunned for a moment and apparently did not believe it. “Then tell me, how can you make the company not lose money. not damage the reputation, and make a profit instead?” Everyone felt that it was impossible. More or less, there would be financial and credit losses. It was impossible to make a profit!
Nigel was just messing around!
“There is indeed a way. We can earn a profit instead of losing money and our reputation…”
Hearing Paige’s words, everyone was even more astonished. Was there really such a way?
How could Paige have such a way to help the company?
“Then tell me what it is. Don’t keep us in suspense!” Nigel did not believe that she could come up with any good ideas.
Paige stood up. I have my own way. The meeting is dismissed!”
Everyone was stunned. Paige herself?
How could she make so many new clothes in one day?
When Paige walked out of the conference room, Deon hurried to catch up with her. “Ms. Paige, you are not trying to make fun of us, are you? is there really a way? Hundreds of malls of Daybreak Group have reserved clothes from us, and many customers have also paid in advance on the official website. We shall ship the goods tomorrow. There are also some business partners and foreign customers. If we can’t take out the clothes…”
“Who said I can’t ship them out?” Paige looked at him and slightly smiled, “The debut will be held as usual!”
She already knew in her heart that this matter had something to do with Nigel!
She was confident that she could find out the evidence today!
“Ms. Paige… Do you really have a way? They are 110 thousand new products…”
‘It’s not like we have to sell them all at once. Don’t panic.”
Paige raised her eyebrows. The hope that Deon had finally ignited was extinguished.
Deon thought Paige was just teasing him…
Just as Paige was about to enter the office, she saw Mariela standing at the door, looking as if she had been wronged but still trying to face reality…
“Ms. Paige, I…
“Come in,” Paige knew why she was there.
Mariela followed in her footsteps and closed the office door. She wiped her tears and said, “Ms. Paige! It wasn’t me. I didn’t copy Layton’s work! Before this, I didn’t know who Layton was! The 23 new products were all designed by myself! I swear!”
“I believe you.”
Mariela was stunned. She didn’t even finish speaking, thinking, Ms Paige believe me?
“I believe in you, and I believe in your character even more.” Paige said gently, “Have a seat.”
Only then did Mariela pull out the chair, “Ms. Paige, before I designed these drawings, I saw many of Master Quinn’s works, and after your guidance, I designed these styles…
Mariela could guarantee that these styles were unique and would not have any similarities with any works.
“Now think about it carefully. Who have you shown these works to?”
Mariela thought for a moment and said, “Everyone in the Design Department has seen them because Mr. Gardner has projected all the drawings in the department and asked everyone to vote for them. My drawings are ranked very high, so they all get chosen.”
“That is to say, everyone in the Design Department has seen your works…” Paige’s slender fingers tapped the table a few times.
Mariela thought for a while and said hurriedly, “Oh, right! Before I showed Mr. Gardner the drawings, I took them to you… That day happened to be my father’s anniversary, so I was deeply impressed!” Paige remembered that day. Mariela came to her to show her the drawings with red eyes. Paige asked why her eyes were red, and
Mariela said it was because her father’s grave had been dumped with trash.
Later, Mariela was worried about her mother, so she asked for a temporary leave. Paige just happened to have a partner to see, so she asked Deon to drive.
“The drafts were placed on the desk at that time. After I had dealt with my business, I made some changes and brought them to you. I remember that the one you put on the top was a pink dress?”
“No, no.” Mariela recalled and was very sure, “The first one is a pure dress. Because I am most satisfied with that dress, I put it on the top…”
“A dress?” Paige recalled, “The last one I saw was a pink dress.”
They suddenly realized something.
“Someone must have come in at that time.”
Mariela was shocked, thinking, someone dares to come into the president’s office without permission?
“Doesn’t that mean we’ll know the person once we check the CCTV?” Mariela suddenly had hope.
But Paige said lightly, “He entered and saw the drawings, or maybe he left with them. There are only two possibilities: if he can swagger out of the office. One is to turn off the surveillance camera, and the other is to delete the surveillance footage.
Chapter 134
The deleted surveillance record could still be restored.
But if the surveillance was turned off.
It could be a little troublesome to investigate.
“Ms. Paige, who do you think betrayed the company? Mariela was puzzled.
Nigel’s face quickly appeared in Paige’s mind. “There is no evidence now. Tomorrow, the debut, you can…”
Paige whispered something to Mariela. After Mariela listened, she began to doubt herself, “I…, I am afraid I can’t…..”
“You can do it” Paige patted her shoulder, giving her lots of confidence, “I believe in you.”
After Mariela left, Paige looked up the surveillance footage from that day. Sure enough, there were traces of deliberate deletion.
The deliberate deletion mode, was the easiest mode to recover because the format inside the hard disk had only been changed once. With the right procedures, the data could be easily restored.
Paige’s slender fingers tapped on the keyboard. After a while, the contents of the previous deletion were all displayed before her eyes.
Paige saw a familiar figure enter her office.
At that time, there was no one in the office. Nigel went in without permission for a long time. It was obvious that he was secretly taking photos of the drafts.
When Nigel left the office, he was empty-handed, but from the way he held his head high and walked, it seemed that the conspiracy had succeeded.
Almost without any hesitation, Paige moved her fingers a few more times, breaking the exclusive WIFI in his office.
On the other side…
Nigel had just finished the phone call when he looked down and found that his WIFI was disconnected. After reconnecting, he sat on the chair and drank coffee.
He completely did not notice that the one he connected just now was the WIFI signal that was specially prepared for him by Paige.
Paige easily hacked into his mobile phone. At this time, Nigel was sending a voice message to a person called Layton Brocket, “That girl said that she has a way to solve it. Too young. She thought that her bold words could show her ability. She didn’t even know that with such a dilemma, even we could do nothing.”
“If she dares to debut these designs tomorrow, I will sue her to death.”
“Hahaha…” Nigel sipped the fragrant coffee and said happily, “Don’t worry. It is not like she doesn’t know how serious the consequences are.”
“With Mariela’s talent in design, I really want to take her under my command. Unfortunately, people who can’t be bought are useless to “US.”
“She will soon be in prison. However, it is already her honor to be selected. It is also her honor to be able to help you become famous again.”
Paige copied all these conversations and their previous chat records, saving them as evidence.
Through searching for the chat records, Paige found that on that day, they had just left the office and Nigel had entered the office to secretly take photos of the drawings. There were a total of 23 pieces and they were all sent to Layton. The time and style of the drawings all corresponded with each other.
The evidence was conclusive!
After a while, Nigel listened to a song and changed a pot of coffee, drinking while looking for the boss of Elegance Couture, Ciara, to ask for benefits.
“Ms. Aucher, I have given you the best design drafts of our company I heard that the clothes you made have been sold for thousands of pieces, and will soon break through ten thousand. According to the pre-agreed commission.
“Don’t worry. “Ciara quickly replied, “30 percent. I will give it to you! But as we have agreed before, when you take your position back you have to make things easier for our company in the future.”. “Of course!” Nigel said leisurely, “We are all on the same side. I know what to do “
Paige looked through all the software on his mobile phone, copied all the useful information, and then called Deon.
“Go and invite Mr. Ingram.”
Deon humedly went to call someone.
After a while, Nigel swaggered in, “Are Ms. Paige trying to consult me about the situation?”
Without waiting for Palge to speak, Nigel sat opposite her and smiled self-righteously, “If I were you, I would submit my resignation right now and ask the headquarters for help…”
“Mr. Ingram has taken a fancy to my position? How come you stress the resignation time and time again… What? Do you think you can take it?” Paige’s lips curved slightly, and her vibe was very strong Nigel felt funny, “The one who can’t take it is you, right? If you can’t hand over the goods tomorrow, I want to see how you will explain it to everyone!”
‘Mr. Ingram, you don’t have to worry about this.”
Paige threw a pile of reports in front of him, “This is your monthly salary account list since the opening of the company until now. I have seen them. On average, you spend more than 16 thousand dollars every month, especially this month. There are a total of 13 accounts and the total money is 21 thousand dollars. What kind of customer do you entertain to spend so much?”
“Isn’t it written? Ms. Paige doesn’t know how to read? Do you need me to read it out to you one by one?” Nigel leaned back in his chair with a leisurely look, “This month, I talked to 13 customers. It cost 21 thousand dollars. On average, one customer is only about 1,600 dollars…”
‘The first account, on the 3rd day of this month, you met Carlo Burton, the vice president of Chloe Garment, and invited him to eat, play golf, and have a sauna. It cost more than 1,500 dollars.”
“Is there a problem?” Nigel looked like a rascal. “I treated him to a meal so that he would cooperate with us for a long time… You, are a little girl and do not understand the ways of the world…”
“But this month, Mr. Burton’s wife gave birth abroad. He went abroad and was not in the country.”
When Nigel heard this, fie immediately changed his expression.
“This is the information I found.” Paige turned the computer screen in front of him. On it was a photo of Carlo living abroad.
“The second account, on the 7th of this month, you met Duncan Hanke of Rubber Company and invited him to have a seafood feast, entertainment, and SPA… it cost 2 thousand dollars.” Nigel was a little unnatural. “What’s wrong?”
“Duncan just went to the emergency room on the 6th. Because of kidney stones, high urination, and gout. He had an intravenous drop in the hospital. On the 7th, he couldn’t have a seafood feast.” “Do you have evidence?” Nigel’s face was a little gloomy.
“Since I have asked you to come here, I naturally have enough evidence.” Paige continued, “The third account, on the 9th of this month, you invited the general manager of Ruth Garment to go to the coffee house, massage, and other entertainment. It cost 2,100 dollars.”
“So what?”
‘He is on a business trip. He is not in Chicago at all from 7 to 11 this month.”
Nigel had completely realized that the situation was not good. He unconsciously sat up straight and was not as presumptuous as before.
“This is the evidence of your lie about the bills for the past year.” Paige clicked the mouse and hundreds of documents appeared on the screen. She smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Ingram, what else do you want to say?”
Chapter 135
Nigel wanted to grab the mouse, but Paige was one step ahead. “You think I have no backup?
“What are you trying to do? Nigel gritted his teeth and looked at her with hatred.
“Don’t worry, I still have some things to ask. Paige asked as if it was just a casual question, “This year, the waste fabric materials produced during the process, do you always throw them away to the waste dump?” Nigel knew what she wanted to ask. “What? Do we still have to keep the waste fabric materials? Use them to take up the space?”
‘But as far as I know, you always took them to sell and earned a lot of money…
“Every month, you will have people deliver the waste fabric materials left by the production line to the waste dump. There, you will meet with the people of Fantasy Recycling, and sell the waste fabric materials at the price of 6 dollars per hundred pounds,” Paige curled her lips and said confidently.
A hundred pounds for 6 dollars.
It seemed cheap, but every month, the waste fabric materials produced were mountainous.
“For a whole year, just by selling the company’s waste fabric materials, you earned 115,630 dollars. Did I say anything wrong, Mr. Ingram?”
Nigel’s face was extremely pale. He did not expect that Paige could even find such a small thing!
There were obviously no surveillance cameras in the waste dump. There were no outsiders in the place where they traded each time. How did she find out?
Nigel thought, that ever since this wretched girl took over the company, it seemed as if nothing could be hidden from her eyes.
Because there was an account book on Fantasy Recycling,” Paige slowly said.
Nigel was secretly angry, thinking, that group of fools! I told them not to leave behind any evidence! No account!
Now it’s coming!
“Oh right, during the ceremony of celebrating the company’s one-month establishment, you incited more than ten employees of the company to bet on the Internet. Do you have an impression?” Paige raised her eyebrows and asked.
Previously, Stella, Roderick, Anton, Caden, and Shayna, before they were arrested by the police, had mentioned this matter.
That night, everyone drank too much. They heard from Nigel that there was a website that won nine out of ten votes. He also showed everyone his bonus. It was more than 100 thousand dollars. Although everyone was skeptical at first, some bold people tried it a few times and found that they were so lucky. Moreover, the money they won could be transferred to their bank cards.
As a result, they bet more and more, and they even called their friends and relatives around them to gamble.
Little did they know that the website kept upgrading the withdrawal threshold. At first, it said that it would take 80 thousand dollars to withdraw the money. After they gathered 80 thousand dollars through many ways, it said that the threshold turned 160 thousand dollars. So they borrowed a lot of money from various online loan platforms. In the end, they couldn’t get the money back even after throwing in a few million dollars in it.
After owing a lot of money, Nigel used all kinds of coercion and bribery ways to make them betray the company together.
At that time, all five of them were arrested by the police, but Nigel was released quickly because of a lack of evidence.
“There is such a thing.” Nigel did not expect Paige to talk about this. ‘That is because they are unlucky. It’s not my fault! I have made a lot of money myself!”
Paige’s slender fingers tapped the keyboard and finally clicked on the mouse. A series of evidence appeared on the computer screen “checked that website. You made a lot of money because the money that other people bet was finally transferred to your card
Paige curled her lips and looked at the man in front of her. “In other words, from the beginning, you had a purpose and wanted to cheat everyone’s money!”
Nigel opened his eyes wide and looked at every transfer record on the computer screen. He didn’t want to admit it, but he felt his scalp numb!
How could Paige have these records?
How could these records be so clear?
He had taken down the website, so logically speaking, it was impossible for Paige to find out about these!
“Running this kind of website is illegal. Don’t you know that?” Paige raised her eyebrows, her entire body exuding the cold and strong vibe of a big shot.
Nigel suddenly felt scared to the point of panic. Who exactly was this girl in front of him?
Thinking back to the things that happened in the company, it seemed that as long as Paige wanted to investigate, there was nothing that she could not find!
In fact, this evidence was easy for Paige.
“Oh right, last time, When Shayna betrayed the company, I checked the surveillance.”
Nigel heard this and suddenly became alert
“That day, at five o’clock in the afternoon, I left after work. At 5:03, you called Shayna to a corner where the surveillance could not capture and whispered something. At 5:10, your conversation ended, and Shayna returned to the warehouse. At 5:13, she erased my qualification to freely enter and exit the warehouse.
“It just so happened that I had something to do that night and wanted to go back to the company. I wanted to enter the warehouse, but I couldn’t…
‘This can also prove that some of Shayna’s actions were instigated by you!
“Also, the previous purchase order was signed by you. The volume of goods in the warehouse was confirmed by you before the final affirmation. You took a lot of money from the distribution of the stolen goods. You should be arrested more than the five of them! You should spend the rest of your life in prison!”
“Who the hell are you?” Nigel looked at her warily.
In the past, when Nigel knew that the headquarters had sent a little girl who knew nothing to take charge of the company, he was still unconvinced and felt that she had no ability or brain!
However, after more than ten days of contact, he found that this girl was far more terrifying than he had imagined!
“How did you find out all this?” Nigel gritted his teeth and asked.
Paige smiled. “Everything here is enough to destroy you! Including the video of you raping Shayna and Stella…”
The computer screen suddenly showed the video recorded by Nigel when he raped Shayna and Stella.
There were dozens of them!
They were all copied by Paige from his mobile phone!
Nigel was stunned and could not believe what he saw.
He only stored these videos on his mobile phone. He didn’t upload them to other places or share them with anyone.
How could Paige find out?
“Also, you colluded with Elegance Couture to send Mari’s drawing to Layton…” Paige raised her eyes and asked, “Mari has never offended you. There are so many designers. Why her?” “Well, I don’t know what you are talking about!” Nigel refused to admit, “You want to trick me into telling me what happened? Are you recording? I am not that stupid!”
“I just don’t understand, Mari has no enmity with you. Why are you targeting her?”
Paige guided patiently, but Nigel just did not answer!
“Just because she is close to me and you don’t like me, plus her designs are the most brilliant in the Design Department? So you decided to frame her?” In fact, Paige knew the answer to all these questions. She just wanted Nigel to say it himself.
Chapter 136
Nigel did not speak
Parge pulled out the USB flash drive and held it in her hand. She smiled and said. “I will exchange all the evidence for an answer from you.”
Nigel was a little tempted.
You only have three seconds to think.”
“How would I know if you have a backup?” Although Nigel was tempted, he was still a little vigilant.
“If you don’t believe me, you can check it yourself.” Paige threw the mouse at him, and Nigel hurriedly searched with the mouse. There seemed to be no backup record… Paige raised the USB flash drive and began to count, “One, two…”
Nigel suddenly took the USB flash drive and was relieved. He smiled sinisterly, “As an experienced person, I have to tell you that sometimes, it is not a good thing to value friendship.” He thought; these pieces of evidence were so important.
But to get the truth of the drawing, she gave them all to me at once.
In the end, she is still young…
“Now it is your turn to speak.” Paige looked at him with interest. “I can guarantee that I do not have a backup”
“If there is, you will be dead!” Nigel wanted Paige to make an oath.
“Okay.”
Seeing Paige was so composed, Nigel was completely convinced. His body leaned back again, revealing the leisurely look from before.
“I did give the drawing to Layton. That day, I saw you leave the office, so I took the spare key to go in…”
Nigel revealed a treacherous smile and said with self-confidence, “You didn’t know that there is a spare key to your office, right? In fact, all the offices in the company have spare keys.” “Oh.” Paige smiled. This was exactly what she guessed.
“I lied that I lost the key to my office and went to the personnel department. That person was too clumsy to find the key. So I found the key myself… In the process of finding the key, I took away the key to your office.”
This was also the same as what Paige guessed. At this time, Paige curved her lips slightly, waiting for him to fall into a trap.
“But I still don’t understand what benefits Elegance Couture gave you to make you willingly betray the company.”
Nigel smiled and said leisurely, “30% of their total sales volume, If their sales volume is 1.6 million dollars, I can get 490 thousand dollars.
“I can’t earn too much by working hard in the company for a year.”
Paige had also seen this answer on his phone. She pretended to be surprised. “So much?”
Nigel said complacently. “Of course. It’s a pity that you were too naive before. Otherwise, I could ask you to cooperate with me to earn money. There is no need to work so hard for the Lusk family”
“Is the Lusk family not good to you?” Paige followed his topic and asked.
Nigel began to talk nonsense, completely not putting the Lusk family in his eyes, “A year ago, they asked me to take charge of the
company and gave me a monthly salary of 3,200 dollars. As the boss of a company, my salary is only 3,200 dollars. Do you believe that?
Paige replied, “I have seen your information. You’ve been working here for a short time. The basic salary of 3,200 dollars is already very high. Besides, there are other subsidies and rewards, you can get more than 6,400 dollars.”
“Can it be compared with a thousand dollars?” Nigel leaned on the chair and looked like a rogue. “How many years do I have to work hard to earn those thousand dollars?
“But I can easily get a thousand dollars by working with Elegance Couture.”
“But these thousand dollars are built on the basis of wronging others. Mari is very likely to go to jail because of this!”
“This is because she is naive.” Nigel said discontentedly, “If she agreed to my request at the beginning and let me have a good time…”
Hearing this, Paige slightly frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”
“Before you came to this company, I asked her if she wanted to follow me or rely on her own strength to establish a foothold in the company. She chose the latter…” Hearing this, Paige immediately picked up the water on the table and ruthlessly poured it on his face.
Paige thought, if turned out that he not only took advantage of Shayna and Stella but also fell for a young girl like Mari… Fortunately, Mari was an upright person and refused to yield. She would rather struggle in the company than give in to Nigel.
Nigel reached out to wipe the water off his face and laughed loudly. He stood up and said, ‘Ms. Paige, do you have any other questions to ask? Tomorrow, you will leave this company. As an experienced person, I will tell you one more thing. Feelings are far less important than money. If you give up your interests for the sake of your feelings, you are a fool.”
Nigel thought, now, she had evidence to sue me, but for the sake of the so-called truth, she gave me the evidence.
She is too naive.
“I really don’t have a backup, but… You can come in now.” Paige curled her lips.
Hearing this, several people outside the office instantly broke in.
When Nigel saw the four police officers in uniform, he suddenly became startled. “You, you…”
“Officers, this is the person I reported.” Paige stood up with a cold aura. “The evidence is in his hand and there is only one copy.”
“Paige, you…” Nigel pointed at Paige. Before he could curse, his two hands were grabbed by the police officers, and the USB flash disk was also confiscated.
Nigel thought; it turned out that she did not have a backup. Instead, she handed the evidence to me and asked me to give it to the police officer personally.
How ruthless she is!
“Well, this is the recording of the conversation between me and him.” Paige took out another USB flash drive and said, “Inside, he has admitted all kinds of crimes he did. He should be sentenced to a few more years…”
“Damn girl, you dare to deceive me. Let go of me. I am not a bad person. You have caught the wrong person…
‘Don’t listen to this girl’s nonsense. I am a good person. I have not done anything illegal…
“Officers, let go of me. If you keep marching me like this, people will see…
“Let go of me, I am innocent…”
Nigel’s voice was getting farther and farther away.
Deon stood outside the office and witnessed the four police officers take Nigel away…
He looked at Paige with admiration.
He thought Nigel was so powerful in the company. So what method did Ms. Paige use to send him to the police officers…
“Please tell the people in the company that they are not allowed to talk about Nigel being arrested. There will be a good show tomorrow.”
Seeing the confident look in Paige’s eyes, Deon swallowed his saliva. “Yes…”
He thought, why do I feel that there is nothing in this world that Ms. Paige can’t do…
Chapter 137
After fixing Nigel’s problems, Paige took out her phone and ordered, ‘No one is allowed to buy the four villas and 14 shops that Tyrell sells.”
“Yes, I will give the order now.”
Paige narrowed her eyes. There was another surprise for them.
Frank received the news at the headquarters of Daybreak Group.
Frank knocked on Heman’s office door and reported respectfully, “Mr. Lusk, the clothing company made a new move.”
“Who is it this time?” Heman raised his eyes expressionlessly.
Recently, that small company took action every two or three days. Hernan heard that it was a young lady who managed the company
“Nigel sent by the headquarters, Frank reported truthfully. “He started an illegal website and tempted more than ten employees into placing their bets. To earn more money, these employees dragged their friends and families into the mire and eventually lost all their money…”
The look in Heman’s eyes became deeper.
“He forced many female employees to have sex with him and took videos to threaten them.
“He threatened and lured those employees who urgently needed money to collude with him and betray the company. Mr. Collins, Ms. Kent, Ms. Dalton, and the leaders of the fourth and fifth production lines were involved and ended up in prison.
“Just by selling the company’s waste fabrics, he made a profit of 115,630 dollars a year, and he even lied about a whole year’s expenses…
“He instigated the employees to sell the company’s goods. They used inferior-quality cloth to produce clothes, attacked the company’s labels, and sold them to other places. Most of the money earned belonged to him…
“Recently, he sold the company’s design drafts to Elegance Couture and tried to frame Mariela
“Although he is now taken to the police station for interrogation, the company is facing a problem.”
“What is it?” Herman asked in a low voice.
“Of the 33 new products we are going to launch tomorrow, 23 were sold to Elegance Couture by Nigel. Elegance Couture made these 23 products and launched them today. In other words, the tens of millions of products in our warehouse cannot be sold.” Frank lowered his head and felt very sorry.
Although all this was caused by Nigel, the company’s losses could not be calculated with money.
“What did the company’s management say?’ Herman asked softly.
“They didn’t know what to do, but that young lady said confidently during the meeting that she had an idea. The company won’t lose money or be discredited. Instead, it will make a profit.”
To be honest, Frank did not believe Paige’s words, but Hernan was looking forward to it. Paige had been giving them surprises since she assumed office.
“It is said that she got in with someone’s help. Is it true?” Hernan asked lightly.
Frank did not expect that Heman would care about such a small matter. He hurriedly lowered his head and answered, “Yes. Your family helped her…”
“What?”
“She was appointed by your dad…”
“Is she called Paige?”
Heman thought hard, but he could not remember anyone he knew called Paige Was that lady highly valued by Donald for her outstanding management ability, so he specially hired her? How about her educational background?”
“She only has a high school certificate… After Frank said this, he was worried that Hernan would question Paige’s ability, so he humbly added, “But her ability is obvious to all, and she is dedicated to the company…”
For example, Nigel deceived his superiors and deluded his subordinates. He made false accounts to deceive the headquarters Heman was busy, so he didn’t have time to manage every branch. He trusted Nigel, but he was deceived by Nigel
Fortunately, Paige found out what Nigel did, or the company would lose a lot of money!
“Have you ordered the gift?” Hernan asked.
Frank bowed and said respectfully, “The other party refused to give up. All the several negotiations failed.”
“PQ Fashion said that she was from the Stowe family.”
The Stowe family and the Lusk family were old friends. Heman could not fall out with the Stowe family because of a necklace worth 4.8 million dollars.
Hernan could only choose another one.
Frank opened PQ Fashion’s official link again. Heman selected again and finally chose a clover necklace.
The four leaves were inlaid with high-quality green diamonds, but it only needed 420 thousand dollars. It was not expensive enough.
“This one.” Herman handed over the iPad to Frank. “I want to go home and have dinner with my sister tonight, so I have to finish the important work in the afternoon.”
“Yes.” Frank picked a few more important documents and respectfully gave them to Heman. “Oh right, many people know that you have returned and want to meet you for dinner for the next two days. When do you think to”Turn them down.” Herman felt that he should spare more time with his sister.
Nigel complained tearfully in the police station that he was wronged.
According to Nigel, Paige forced him to say that in the recording, and the evidence was fabricated by Paige.
Nigel also requested to see Donald, saying that he was a veteran promoted by Donald, and would never let the Lusk family down!
The new police officer had never seen such a troublesome middle-aged man before, so he called Donald…
Donald and Danica’s car happened to pass by. When they heard this, they angrily went to the interrogation room.
“Mr. Lusk, you finally came. I wanted to smash my head on this wall, but on second thought, the person with evil designs would be happy to see that.”
Nigel suddenly knelt at Donald’s feet and wailed. “You know what, the new young lady in the company wronged me and made me feel bitter. I still remember the kindness you showed me in the past. How could I do something to harm the Lusk family and you? She is bullying!”
Nigel flung his arms around Donald’s leg and cried. “Mr. Lusk, you must save me! Now, except you, no one can prove my innocence…
As long as you say something, that young lady will have to come here!”
“Are you saying that my beloved daughter wronged you? Do you want her to go to jail?” Danica’s face was cold. She acted like a noble lady.
Hearing what Danica said, Nigel was greatly shocked and thought he heard it wrong…
“Mrs. Lusk, you misunderstood. I was talking about the young lady in the company… It was not Patricia!”
“She is my biological daughter.”
Hearing Danica’s words, Nigel opened his mouth wide. He was stunned and stopped shouting…
Wasn’t that young lady called Paige?
How could she be the daughter of Donald and Danica?
Wasn’t their daughter called Patricia?
It was so strange!
Chapter 138
Nigel was completely stunned and speechless.
“This company was flat under your leadership, and I wanted to close it. It happened that my daughter was on summer vacation and had nothing to do, so I let her manage it for practice.”
Donald let her daughter manage such a large-scale company for practice…
Hearing Donald’s words, Nigel was struck with astonishment.
“I didn’t expect her to be so responsible and found so many rotten apples in the company! I have seen the evidence that you betrayed the company with my own eyes! Paige didn’t wrong you! But you cried, defamed her, and even wanted to put her in jail. Do you really think that our family can’t protect her?”
“No, no, no, Mr. Lusk, you misunderstood…” Nigel was scared out of his wits. “I, I didn’t know that young lady… Oh no, I don’t know that Ms. Paige is your daughter…”
If Nigel knew it, he would not dare to do that!
When Nigel saw Danica’s cold and beautiful face, he suddenly found that Paige had taken after her!
However, Paige was more imposing and seductive than Danica.
“Mr. Lusk, I’m sorry. I did something wrong to let you down…” Nigel admitted what he did and requested leniency.
However, before Nigel could finish his words, Donald kicked him away. “It has been a long time. You have been cheating me since the opening of the company!”
“I am sorry! I am worse than a beast. You can hit and scold me, but please don’t put me in jail…” Nigel crawled over again and grabbed Donald’s trouser leg, desperately begging, “I have to support my family… “Let go!” Donald kicked Nigel away again and said impatiently. “When you did those things, why didn’t you think about your family?
“It’s too late to regret it now!”
“I heard that he often bullied Paige in the company. Danica glanced at Nigel on the ground, turned to the policeman beside her, and said, “Do whatever you want to him. He is an old employee of our company.” “Yes!” The policeman nodded and looked at Nigel coldly.
“Please don’t, Mrs. Lusk. I am sorry…” Nigel wanted to pull Danica’s skirt.
But Donald pulled Danica behind him. “How dare you pull my wife’s skirt?” “No, no, I didn’t..”
“You have gone too far! Donald rolled up his sleeves and beat Nigel up.
“Ah, Mr. Lusk, don’t beat me. Please…” Nigel covered his face with his hands. “It will be bad if you sprain your back at this age… If your five sons get even with me, I will lose my life! Let someone else beat me… Please calm down…”
“Who has evil designs as you just said? Donald was gasping for breath, but he still did not intend to let Nigel go. “Tell me, who is that?”
“I… It is me…”
“If you want your family to be safe, admit what you did!”
“Yes, yes, yes. I will do as you said…” Nigel didn’t dare to disobey Donald.
Donald kicked Nigel again and sent him directly to the comer of the wall.
Donald felt tired after all this.
Enough, You’re old! Don’t do this Danica stepped forward to wipe off Donald’s sweat and glanced at Nigel in disgust.
“How dare he touch your skirt just now, I would chop off his hand! You’ve done so many evil things! Do you still want to get away with it?”
Nigel was worse than a beast!
Donald turned back and glared at Nigel. “Stay here and reflect on yourself!”
Nigel knew that it was useless to plead for mercy, so he huddled in the comer of the wall. “Yes, yes, yes.
After Donald and Danica left, two interrogators came. They saw Nigel with a bruised nose and blood on his body and asked the people beside them, “What happened?”
Did Donald and Danica beat Nigel just now?
“I fell… It’s none of anyone else’s business,” Nigel said hurriedly.
Although the injury on Nigel’s face was obviously caused by someone, everyone knew that with the status of the Lusk family, they could easily make a person disappear… “
Nigel shouldn’t have offended the Lusk family, or he wouldn’t have been beaten up by Donald.
Nigel did not dare to explain it. He only knew that he had offended Paige and the Lusk family. He was doomed!
How could that young lady be the daughter of the Lusk family?
No wonder her aura was so strong!
In the afternoon, Paige came to the production workshop.
“Everyone, stop what you are doing and listen to me.”
The workers of the five production lines immediately stopped and looked at Paige quietly.
Although Paige was only 18 years old, her strong aura made people fear and subconsciously obey her.
Everyone looked at Paige and sighed with emotion. Their 18-year-old children were still in high school, while Paige could manage a company on her own.
Their fates were different…
“We will deliver products tomorrow. You should know that because Nigel sold the drafts to Elegance Couture, the goods in the warehouse cannot be sold. Next, I need you to cooperate with me….” Paige told the workers her plan and they agreed. They were impressed by Paige’s smartness!
Deon did not expect that Paige would convince the workers so quickly. He felt respect for her. She could set everyone’s mind at ease.
After leaving the production workshop, Paige went to the Design Department.
Mariela rested her hand in front of the computer, looking listless.
“What’s wrong?” Paige walked over to Mariela and asked softly.
Mariela suddenly sat up straight. ‘Ms. Paige, what brings you here? Nothing… It’s just…”
Paige’s eyes fell on Mariela’s computer screen. On it was the electronic registration form for the National Fashion Design Competition. The registration deadline was 5 pm, and now it was already 4.50. “Don’t you enter your name for it?” Paige raised her eyebrows and asked.
“You have no idea… I need an assistant in this competition…”
Under the encouragement of Paige, Mariela wanted to prove herself in this competition, but she was not confident enough. Moreover, an unknown designer like her didn’t have an assistant. Mariela could just support herself!
How could Mariela afford an assistant?
“None of you wants to go?” Paige looked up at the people around her.
Several designers hurriedly lowered their heads. They did not want to make a fool of themselves in such a large national competition.
Chapter 139
Although designers participated in the competition representing themselves, one needed to write down where they worked when filling in the information.
It would be fine if they got a good grade, but if they couldn’t get it, or if the ranking fell behind, it was the company’s reputation that got harmed
At that time, the designers might even lose their job…
Mariela watched the time pass by. Although she was very reluctant, she eventually sighed and was ready to close the page
When she was going to close that webpage, she heard Paige say. “I’ll go with you.”
As soon as this was said, not only the other people in the Design Department but even Mariela stared with her eyes wide open, “Ms. Paige”””
The president of the company was going to be her assistant?
Mariela wondered if she was dreaming.
“Ms. Paige, it’s not appropriate that you are my assistant…
“If this gets out, people will laugh at you!
“You are the head of the company. I’m not worth it…”.
“Just sign up” Paige didn’t care.
‘Ms. Paige…
Mariela still wanted to say something, but then she heard Paige ask, “What? Do you think I’m not good enough? Am I so unqualified that you are afraid that I will affect your grade?”
“No, no, no…” Mariela wasn’t thinking that way at all, but she felt very sorry to let Paige condescend to be her assistant
“Win the competition. It is the best you can give back to me,” Paige said.
The reason why Paige helped Mariela was that she had her own unique views on design. She really loved this industry. Even after experiencing the dark side of it, she still did not give up her dream and went all out to move forward.
Although Mariela was not confident and her ideas were not bold enough, Paige felt that Mariela was experienced and gifted. So she intended to cultivate her well.
“Ms. Paige…” Tears welled up in Mariela’s eyes. She hesitated for a moment before she quickly filled in her information.
At the last minute of the registration deadline, Manela successfully submitted the registration form. The entire department was cheering her on.
“You will definitely get first place!”
“To be honest, I always thought that you were very talented in design. You have Ms. Paige with you this time. Just go and try boldly!”
“Ms. Paige will save you even if you encounter problems! There is nothing in this world that Ms. Paige cannot solve!”
“You are so lucky to have Ms. Paige as your assistant.”
“Mari, do your best! You can do it!”
“You will become famous!”
Mariela had never felt such strong expectations and blessings from everyone. She said gratefully. “Thank you, guys! I will try my best”.
Then, she looked at Paige gratefully, if it was not for Paige, she was afraid that she would have missed the opportunity.
“Save the emotional words I will tutor you when work is off these days, Paige said, “Let’s start tomorrow. I’m occupied tonight”
“It doesn’t matter, Ms. Parge You can do it anytime Mariela did not expect that she would have such a person to help her in her career, and she did not expect that this person would tutor her. She was really very lucky!
After work.
Paige sent a message to Martin, telling him that he did not need to pick her up for the next few days because she had something to deal with.
Then she called Danica, Mom, I have something to do tonight. I won’t go back for dinner. I may come back very late in the next few days.”
“OK, no problem. You and Martin enjoy your dates. Don’t worry about us.” Danica thought that the young couple was going on dates.
Danica thought it was rare for her daughter to be dedicated to her work. She smiled, “Then don’t push yourself too hard. Remember to eat. Ask other people to help if you can’t finish it yourself.”
“OK,” Paige said gently. “I’ll be busy for the next few days. I’m going to a competition…”
Danica listened to Paige, and they chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Not long after, Danica’s phone rang again. Seeing that it was from her eldest son, she hurriedly picked it up. “You brat, how long has it been since you called me? When are you coming back? I asked the five of you to take the time to go home and visit your sister.” It’s been so many days since! I’m getting angry!”
She was about to educate Hernan when she heard him say, “Mom, I’ll be back tonight.”
“Tonight?” Danica was surprised.
That was too sudden.
“Yes, I’m coming home for dinner tonight.” Herman had already taken the gift. On their way back, he said to Frank, who was driving,
Speed up.”
“No need to be fast. Safety comes first,” Danica said immediately.
Danica felt happy that her eldest son was coming back home.
After hanging up the phone, she asked the kitchen to prepare more dishes.
Patricia was excited when she heard that her eldest brother was coming back. She stood at the door and waited for a long time. Finally, she saw Frank’s car…
Frank parked the car at the door of the villa and respectfully opened the door for Heman.
Seeing the tall and cold figure coming down, Patricia hurriedly shouted, “Herman!”
When the indifferent man heard her voice, his expression eased a little. After all, they grew up together. Before Paige appeared, the whole family treated Patricia as a little Princess.
They loved and cared for her for 18 years.
You are finally back. I miss you so much!” Patricia’s face was full of joy. “You have been abroad all year round and rarely come home. Why don’t you stay a few more days this time?”
Heman’s face had a touch of softness.
“Great!” Although Patricia was in awe of her big brother in her heart, she still plucked up the courage to hold Herman’s arm because she was competing with Paige for attention. “The new member has made our family much livelier. Now you are back! We’ll be even happier!”
Herman looked at Patricia’s hand and quietly pulled back his arm. ‘You are a grown-up now. Mind your behavior.”
Heman never liked to be touched. But he didn’t get angry and kept a soft expression when Patricia approached him.
Patricia knew in her heart that according to her big brother’s temper, if anyone dared to hold his arm, the person would end up very miserable!
Herman was already treating her very nicely.
‘Is the girl nice?” Hernan asked softly.
When Patricia heard this, her face froze, and she hurriedly said, “Yes… She’s like you, a person with a personality…”
She deliberately avoided Herman’s eyes and pretended that she was suppressing the fear in her heart.
Of course, Herman noticed it. He thought that it seemed that he had a difficult biological younger sister.
“It’s fine. Tell me about it,” Hernan said as he walked side by side with Patricia to the living room.
Along the way, Patricia stuttered, “It’s just…”
She deliberately suppressed the timidity and uneasiness in her eyes and hesitated for a while before saying, “You’ll find out soon.” Herman’s eyes darkened. It seemed that their new younger sister had bullied Patricia a lot.
Chapter 140
The dining table was full of various delicious food.
“Heman, you haven’t been home for a long time. Tonight, let’s have a drink Donald poured a glass of wine for Herman and said to the girl beside him, “Patricia, you are young. Just have some juice.” “I also want to drink with Herman,” Patricia said adorably.
“Good girl, you can drink wine when you grow up.” Donald poured himself another glass and asked Herman cheerfully. “I heard that the situation overseas has stabilized?”
“Yes, it’s almost done.” Heman had been busy there for several months and cleared many obstacles. The situation finally stabilized
Heman looked around. He only found four sets of tableware.
Other than his parents, there were only his and Patricia’s.
Where was his sister’s tableware?
“Paige called me just now and said that she had some work to deal with…” Danica said at that time
“Work?” Herman was a little surprised.
Herman thought, my sister is only eighteen years old.
She was born on the same day as Patricia. Why does she go to work so quickly?
“You still don’t know, do you? Our clothing company has recently been handled by Paige, and she has made a big move. You should have received the news from her, right?”
Donald clinked glasses with Herman happily. After drinking it down, Donald said slowly. “I didn’t expect Paige to have such a high talent in business at such a young age. Paige has only been there for a few days, and she has caught many stray cats. She even caught the mastermind.”
Thinking of Nigel, Donald felt very distressed.
Heman remembered the recent changes in the company and subconsciously asked, “Paige?”
Hernan was a little surprised.
“Yes, Paige Lusk, your sister.”
Hearing the word “sister”, Patricia bit her lips and gave the food to Heman. “Herman, this is your favorite meat. Have a try.”
“Thank you.” Hemman had always been indifferent, but when he looked at his family, he was gentle.
Patricia felt much more comfortable. She thought, since Heman returned, that damn girl didn’t even come to greet him, and she was still at work.
Patricia also attentively poured wine for Hernan and her parents as if she were so sweet.
After knowing that the person who recently made a big move in the clothing company was actually Paige, Heman found it interesting.
There will be new releases tomorrow. Paige didn’t go home for the meal. Herman thought she must be busy with that. Although Herman hadn’t seen Paige before and didn’t know her conduct, he still had a good impression of Paige as she was so young.
“If Paige weren’t that young, I would really ask her to manage the other companies.” Donald trusted Paige’s business ability very much, but she was still young and had just returned to this family. Donald couldn’t bear to see her tired.
Danica was eating when she suddenly remembered something. “By the way, just now she said on the phone that she was going to participate in some design competition in two days. Time is very limited, and she won’t come back early these nights.
Ever since Paige returned home, she had devoted herself to her work, and Danica felt sorry….
At first, they asked Paige to manage the company, just to satisfy her… They didn’t expect her to make something big.
But Paige was very responsible. This was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Not only did Paige manage the company well, but she could also keep her interest and make some time to participate in the competition.
“Paige is going to participate in the design competition?” Donald was very surprised.
“I heard her say so… I didn’t expect that she not only knows how to manage the company, but she can also design. Danica was really proud of such a daughter. At the same time, she felt that it was hard for Paige to be like this every day. At such a young age, Paige bore a heavy load.
Danica thought she must make more nutritious food for Paige.
Meanwhile, Danica decided to ask Paige if she liked this job at some time. If not, she would tell Page to quit and just enjoy her life.
The design competition?
Heman suddenly remembered what Frank said. Someone invited Herman to be the judge of the design competition…
But Hernan didn’t have the time and refused.
“By the way, have your other brothers contacted you recently?” Danica took a sip of the wine and continued to ask, “Did they say when they would be back? It’s been many days, but none of them called me.” “No.” Hemman rarely contacted them, but they would occasionally send messages to him, especially Jack, who was simply a chatterbox. However, Herman replied very little and spent most of his time working. To expand the group and seize more foreign markets, Herman had been busy abroad for the past two years. Some countries were hostile to Americans, and some local tyrants were tough, who were hard to handle.
Fortunately, with Herman’s efforts, the group had expanded more than twice as much as when Donald first handed it to him.
Other than work, Heman would usually rest alone.
Herman’s family knew that his schedule was shockingly tight so they were already used to him not replying…
“I heard that our group has made new progress in research and development. This new outcome has caused forces overseas to be cautious. You have to be careful next.”
Although Donald trusted Herman’s ability, some forces must be taken seriously. It could be said that it was a competition between countries, but it was just a secret.
“I wonder how many obstacles they will make for you, how many things they will do to offend you… Donald was a little worried. “Don’t worry will handle it.”
Hearing Herman’s words, Donald was more or less relieved. “I know that you are very capable… Since childhood, you have been the most sensible, but sometimes, don’t be too tired and have to rest…”
“Hernan seldom comes back. Let’s not talk about work.” Danica gave Herman some food. “Enjoy the meal. This is your favorite.”
Knapcoll Villa…
Paige stored the extracted Sarolian in liquid form at a low temperature of minus eight degrees.
The surrounding doctors and experts were stunned and kept praising her
“We made it. We finally made it!”
“Ms. Paige, you’re so awesome. In such a short period, you could even extract Sarolian, whose purity was so high. I do admire you.”
“We tried for more than ten days and failed all the time. Ms. Paige, I didn’t expect you to solve this problem as soon as you arrived. Hahaha, we can sleep well next.”
“But there are other medicinal herbs such as Eleuthero and Huperzia. We need to synthesize them to maximize the level of acetylcholine…”
This was much more difficult than extracting Sarolian.
“Let me give it a try.”
Paige looked at the time. It was already past eight o’clock in the evening. According to the internal structure of those medicinal herbs,
she finished the design and combination by the computer, and then put it into practice to see what kind of medicinal reaction it would produce.
