Love’s Harsh Reality Novel

Chapter 15

“Hey!“Derick’s cold and disdainful voice came through.

“Scarlet, Inever expected you to stoop so low. You actually stole the Jones Corporation’s confidential tiles for the new product. Scarlett, all I did was break up with you. Was this really necessary?” he scolded through the phone.

Scarlett’s eyes darkened as a wave of anger surged through her. “Derick, are you out of your mind this early in the morning? Do you honestly think I care about your company’s new product? I’m warning you, don’t go throwing around baseless accusations.”

“Scarlett, Melanie already confessed. She said you called her and asked her to bring you the documents. The new product plans were in that stack and she admitted that you paid her ten thousand dollars to do it.

“I’m giving you one hour to return those files, and maybe I’ll let you off the hook”

Derick’s voice was so full of fury it nearly shook the phone

Scarlett wanted to retort but Derick had already hung up.

Sophia noticed Scarlett’s anger and was worried about her. “Ms. Millar…”

Scarlett stood up while her entire being radiated cold fury. “Call Liam. Inced him to investigate Melanie from Jones Corporation. In ten minutes, I want to know everything she’s done in the past few days. Also, tell Cindy to come pick me up. I’m going upstairs to change.”

Scarlett’s eyes were filled with anger.

Sophia quickly made the calls and arranged everything. By the time Scarlett came back downstairs, everything was ready.

Scarlett briefly explained what had happened at Jones Corporation and instructed Sophia to stay home.

When Scarlett stepped outside, Cindy was already waiting in the car. She had reverted to her original appearance, which was completely different from the face she wore in the business world.

She was stunning with sharp, defined features that held a timeless beauty. People often said that true beauty was in the bone structure, not just the skin, and her face embodied chat.

Though Cindy wasn’t as breathtaking as Scarlett, she was still strikingly beautiful

“Boss, if I’m not mistaken, you’ve been working undercover at Jones Corporation before this, haven’t you?” Cindy asked as she drove.

Scarlett’s eyes flickered. Her gaze grew dimmer as she replied, “I worked there for a year.”

No one but her knew she had married Derick. As she thought about the past four years, her chest tightened, and she didn’t want to talk about it anymore.

Cindy, having understood the situation, cursed under her breath. “That bastard! Who the hell does Jones Corporation think they are? Sure, they’re up–and–coming, but they could go bankrupt tomorrow too. And they have the nerve to accuse you of stealing their precious product plans? Who do they think they are?

andy continued ranting as they arrived at the entrance of Jones Corporation. Liam had already sent over the information Scarlett requested. After scanning through the details, Scarlett’s gaze grew even colder as she dialed Derick’s number

“Hello?” a faint voice said on the other end.

“I won’t step foot into your company. Send someone down to the entrance to meet me,” Scarlett said.

Derick taunted, “ph? You want to discuss this in public?

“What’s wrong? Are you afraid? You, Derick, who uses your power to bully others, can’t handle a little public scrutiny?” Scarlett replied.

Derick didn’t respond and hung up while Scarlett waited downstairs with Cindy.

After a few minutes, a large group of people emerged from the building. They were led by Derick and Bla

Derick was dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit. His tall frame exuded both strength and an almost eerle elegance, like a devil with hidden wings. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Scarlett didn’t bother looking at him. The coldness in his eyes made her feel uncomfortable.
