Chapter 133
“How can it be me? I changed my handle a long time ago. This ID is not mine.” Alaina faced the people
in front of her with an innocent look, as though she had really been falsely accused.
“Let me see… Eh? She changed her ID. Is it not her, then?” The colleagues around her suddenly
doubted themselves. I thought we had the culprit already, and everything made sense, but why is there
suddenly a twist?
However, those who knew Alaina’s way of thinking had already seen through everything. “Pffi! It can be
her alternate account. After all, Miss Sullivan is always busy socializing with different men. Who knows if
our Mr. Steward is one of them?”
With a pale face, Alaina bellowed, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”
“I think all our colleagues here know if what I said was nonsense since they’ve seen everything. I’m not
in your department, so I’m not afraid of your revenge on me. Miss Sullivan, you hooked up with more
than one man, am I right?”
The person who was talking looked quite familiar to Elspeth. She was an androgynous girl named Avery
Lennon, who was a fresh graduate. Speed Demon had always been her nickname in the Operation
Department.
Elspeth didn’t know that Alaina had already pissed off colleagues out of her department. At this thought,
she couldn’t help but click her tongue in her mind.
“Avery, shut up if you don’t know how to talk properly. Why are you slandering me?”
Avery had quite a straightforward personality. “You know it in your heart whether I’m slandering you or
not. How dare you frame Miss Lynwood? Shame on you!”

Hearing that, Elspeth put her hand over her mouth. It looks like this Avery girl has a fighter spirit as well.
She’s quite eloquent, but the most important thing now is to finish Alaina. “You said that you changed
your handle, right?” Her gaze landed on Alaina’s face without fear. “And you changed it a long time ago.
Am I right?”
Alaina thought that Elspeth was trying to trick her into talking, so right away, she answered, “Either way,
I’ve definitely changed it before this happens.” There’s no proof. Even if I lie, so what?
Yet, Elspeth wasn’t bothered at all. “I’m giving you one more chance. Are you sure you don’t want to tell
us the truth?”
At this moment, Alaina’s heart skipped a beat. “What do you mean?”
“I accidentally took a screenshot when I was comparing Instagram handles. Do you want to take
“You took a screenshot?” Alaina’s face turned pale in an instant. “Why did you do that?”
“I was afraid that someone would deny it.” Elspeth took out her phone and waved it at Alaina. “So? Do
you want to see it yourself? It was still your ID when I checked just now.”
“Okay. I admit it. It was my doing.” The last line of defense in her heart had collapsed completely. As she
looked at Elspeth’s smiley face, she couldn’t understand why she lost all of a sudden.
“Well, I lied. I didn’t screenshot it. I just wanted to see if you’ll admit it.” It was a fact that Elspeth didn’t
take a screenshot just now, and she didn’t expect Alaina to retort with a countercharge. After all, Alaina
was still young. She spat everything out after a little bluff.
“You….” Just when Alaina was going to curse at Elspeth, the woman, who was listening from the side the
whole time, stepped forward after understanding the whole picture. So, the woman that Evan cheated on
me with is actually this woman here!
As the furious woman stepped forward, she glowered at Alaina and shouted, “Why did you hook up with
my husband?! You b*tch! You know very well that he’s married, but why did you still seduce him?!”
Feeling humiliated, Alaina chuckled. “Nothing happened between your husband and me. We were just
flirting. Also, your husband is not my cup of tea. He’s the one who keeps pestering me
After rolling her eyes, Avery said, “Ma’am, don’t listen to her bullsh*t. She’s famous for being an unethical
social butterfly in our company. Your husband is not the only one she flirts with.”
When the woman heard that, her resentment grew inside her like a tumor. She rushed forward right away
and gave a tight slap on Alaina’s face. “Since you’re so good at flirting, I should teach you a lesson in the
name of justice! I really want to see who will be on your side!”
Meanwhile, Elspeth looked away for a moment, giving tacit approval to this behavior.
With the body of an ordinary girl, how could Alaina fight a woman who cooked and did laundry every
day? Within seconds, Alaina was slapped until she could see stars in front of her eyes, and her face was
filled with red palm prints.
“I think that’s enough. You might kill her if you continue.” Elspeth pretended to stop the fight as she pulled
the woman aside.
“I’m gonna call the police and sue you for murder!”
Hearing that, the woman refuted right away, “Sue me for murder? I should be the one suing you for
cheating with my husband! B*tch. You’re sick! Aren’t you afraid that God will punish you for hooking up
with so many men?!”
“I didn’t know that such a thing was happening in my company.” As soon as Callum ended the video
conference in his office and removed his earphones, he heard a loud noise from the outside. So, he
stood at a distance and listened to everything, understanding the whole picture.

something strange. By right, this should be bad news since it would affect the company’s image internally
and externally, but they noticed that his face wasn’t as sullen as they imagined it would be. Instead, there
was a mere smile on the corners of his lips. Is that a smile? Or is there something wrong with our eyes?
Callum’s stance on the matter was crucial, so Alaina stared at him, asking for his help with her eyes. She
hoped that he would take her side after seeing her so pitiful. However, she had forgotten that the person
on her opposite side was Elspeth, the woman whom Callum treasured
the most.
“Alaina, I didn’t know you had so many hidden talents.” His voice was bitter, and disgust could be seen
on his face. “A person with dishonorable behavior doesn’t deserve to stay in this company. Alaina,
please sign the resignation paper later. For the sake of your career advancement, I won’t make this a big
deal, but don’t let me see you again in the future.”
When Alaina heard that, her face turned as white as a sheet. F’ck. It’s really the end for me.
Only after Alaina was chased out did Elspeth notice that the woman whom Avery had pulled to the back
was sobbing, and many employees gathered around her to comfort her, but most of
them were women.
“Why are you crying?”
The woman cried for too long, making her snivel when she talked. “My husband and I have been
together since junior high. After I graduated from there, I stopped studying and worked to pay his school
fees and let him continue studying at a good university. He said he’d treat me well, but he still cheated on
me in the end…”
After hearing that, Elspeth turned sentimental as well.
