“What did you just say?” Neil’s eyes blazed with barely contained anger.

He had come with good intentions to remind her, but Katelyn seemed to ignore his kindness. The elevator arrived just then.

Katelyn walked in quickly, not bothering to look at Neil again.

Neil sat in his wheelchair, his hands tightly clenched, a dark, brooding look on his face.

After leaving the hospital, Katelyn went to the office. She now had enough proof to show it was a carefully planned setup. But it wasn’t the right moment to bring it up yet. She needed Lise and Zoey to start turning on each other first.

As she reached the door of the CEO’s office, her phone buzzed with a new message.

It was a message from Alfy.

“I’ve seen a lot of nasty comments about you online. I’ll burn all their accounts right now.”

Alfy was sitting at her computer, seething over the wave of negative comments. These people who hid behind their screens knew nothing but still joined in to attack Katelyn.

If she didn’t teach all of them a hard lesson today, Alfy knew she wouldn’t deserve to be Katelyn’s apprentice. Even though she couldn’t see Alfy’s look, Katelyn could picture her angry face on the other end of the phone. A slight smile danced in her eyes as she replied, “Ignore them. They can say whatever they feel like.”

“But these comments could hurt your reputation. People are already using them to attack your jewelry designs,” Alfy typed furiously, wondering if Katelyn had another plan. Why was Katelyn holding her back from taking action? She knew that Katelyn wasn’t someone to stay silent in situations like this.

Katelyn replied, “The bigger the rumor, the greater the impact when the truth comes out.”

After sending the message, Katelyn suddenly remembered that Alfy had planned to visit her. She asked, “What time is your flight? If I’m not available, I’ll have someone else pick you up.”

Alfy responded, “Five o’clock this afternoon.”

Katelyn typed, “Alright, see you this afternoon.” It had been months since Katelyn returned from Yata, so she missed Alfy a lot.

After she tucked her phone away, Katelyn walked into the CEO’s office. Vincent glanced up from the stack of papers and saw the exhaustion on Katelyn’s face. He frowned a little.

“Didn’t you sleep well last night?”

Katelyn looked away from Vincent, recalling the recording Zoey had revealed. If they didn’t clear up this misunderstanding, things would be awkward between them.

She cleared her throat.

“Mr. Adams, we need to talk about the recording that was leaked online. It’s—” Before she could finish, an urgent ringtone cut her off.

It was Aimee calling.

When she answered, Aimee’s voice sounded serious.
