Chapter 116
Faye’s eyes were full of doubt and tears.
As she sat there, she suddenly recalled the words Lysander had spoken to her earlier that afternoon in
his office.
It hit her like a bolt of lightning, sending tremors down her back, and in that instant, everything clicked.
That afternoon, Lysander had asked her why the design plan, a Sinclair Group secret, was on the
conference table when it should have been in the hands of the design trustee, which was her.
Lysander had subtly hinted at her, given her a chance to confess.
However, she missed it. So Lysander phoned David to hand over the 57th floor surveillance to him. He
did it on purpose for Faye to overhear, baiting her to come to the control room to erase the surveillance,
and capture her criminal evidence!

She had been too impatient, failed to analyze the situation, and didn’t make a sound judgement.
At noon, she and Joie had hatched a plan in the hallway to frame Thalassa for spreading rumors and
oust her from the Sinclair group. Hearing Thalassa approaching, she had bolted to the 57th floor
Though there were no cameras in the hallway, the 57th floor was monitored, which must have caught
her panicked flight to another executive’s office.
If Lysander saw this, he would suspect her. Lysander was smart, and he would figure out that she was
behind everything just by witnessing her guilt-stricken, panic-stricken flight to another office.
So when she heard Lysander mention the 57th floor surveillance, Faye panicked. Everyone else had
left, only she remained at the company.
She had been keeping an eye on Lysander and relaxed her guard when she saw him leave the
company.
At night, when the company was quiet, she sneaked into the control room, preparing to erase the
footage of her on the 57th floor. However, she hadn’t expected all the lights in the control room to
suddenly illuminate and a reporter to appear, asking a very sharp question about who was the leak
within the company
Faye didn’t know what had happened; from her initial fury and hasty escape attempt to now seeing
Lysander and hearing his words, she had a sudden realization that Lysander knew all along that she
was behind everything.
He just didn’t say it but waited for her to expose herself.
Faye understood everything, but there was one thing she didn’t understand.
Heartbroken and sad, she looked at Lysander, her lips trembling, her eyes filled with resentment, and
she said, “Mr. Sinclair, if you knew everything, why didn’t you stop Zephyr when he was taking
Thalassa to the police?”

the rules of drawing the enemy in?” Faye’s eyes widened in shock.
She understood Lysander didn’t stop Zephyr from taking Thalassa to the police to make her believe he
thought Thalassa was the thief and let her guard down. Because she let her guard down, she made a
mistake, recklessly came to the control room, and deleted the surveillance that threatened her after
hearing Lysander’s words.
In the end, she fell into the trap Lysander had dug
At that moment, Faye’s heart ached uncontrollably, and the tears in her eyes fell violently.
Still harboring a glimmer of hope, she asked Lysander in a trembling voice, “Mr. Sinclair, don’t you feel
the slightest bit of pity for me?”
She had been by his side for so many years, serving him loyally, and yet he had coldly set a trap for
her.
