Chapter 616 The server looked panicked. "Isla, | didn't mean to accuse you or blame you, but just now it seems like someone tripped me up." "What evidence do you have?" Isla's face was full of anger, as if she had been wronged. "Why would | make things difficult for a poor server?” "If you're afraid of punishment, just say it. Why do you have to frame me? You splashed the hot grilled fish on Master Franklin, not me." Franklin gave Isla a cold look. "Do you think everything you've done has gone unnoticed?" Isla turned pale. "Master, what do you mean by that?" "| accidentally recorded a video just now." Jasper played a short video clip directly on his phone. "Take a look for yourself." Isla's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Jasper's phone.
The video clearly showed how she stuck out her foot, tripped up the server and quickly retracted it.
"No... this can't be possible," Isla said instinctively, looking up at Franklin with an urgent tone in her voice. "Master, please listen to my explanation; things are not what they seem..." "The evidence is right in front of us; do you think I'm stupid?" Franklin's face darkened as he felt waves of burning pain in his chest.

Isla bit her lip, feeling humiliated.
As the leader of MI6 technology department, she was definitely unwilling to be a waitress in the restaurant.
She opened her mouth to defend herself, "My foot sprained slightly and | wasn't intentional. Master, | didn't expect that | would trip over someone else. I'm sorry for hurting you. Please forgive me." Franklin sneered while looking down, "Isla, did you really think | could not see through your lies? You should apologize to my wife. And you should feel lucky I'm the one being burned instead of her." "Master, what does that mean?" Tears welled up in Isla's eyes.
She had suffered enough humiliation. Why could Franklin not forgive her? "If my wife got burned, you would be permanently expelled from MI!" With that said, Franklin turned to Jasper and ordered, "Ask the restaurant manager over here." "Yes, sir," Jasper replied before leaving the private room.
Isla stood awkwardly in the room, unsure of what to do. She felt like an unnecessary presence.
Aviana didn't have the heart to see her niece being punished. "Master Franklin, Isla is still young and a bit childish. Please don't punish her so severely. | promise she won't make the same mistake again." Franklin looked at Aviana expressionlessly but with a hint of gratitude for her, because she had tried to help MI6 out. He knew that Aviana had good morals.
Yet he was very disappointed in Isla. He had chosen Isla for MI6 because of her excellent computer skills, but was disappointed by her recent behavior.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSylvia's cold gaze fell on Franklin's chest that was burned.
She frowned and said, "Come with me, so | can treat your wounds." Franklin froze, feeling touched by Sylvia's concern.
Then Sylvia grabbed his hand firmly and said sternly to Adriel, "Adriel, you eat first. | need to take care of his wound." Only then did he realize that he was following Sylvia out of the room.
When they passed by Isla, Sylvia stopped abruptly, gave Isla a cold look. "Isla, you're a member of MI6. | respect Franklin's decision. But | warn you, don't pull any strings like that again, or | won't show mercy to you." "You!" Isla glared at Sylvia, wondering why the latter dared talk down on her like that! "No one can hurt my husband without facing consequences." With a low chuckle from Sylvia came a scream! "Ahh!" Isla cried out in pain as she clutched onto her leg which was almost broken! "You-" Beads of sweat dripped down from Isla’s forehead.
She grimaced in agony while staring at Sylvia, wishing she could skin Sylvia alive! Sylvia was a crazy woman, how dared Sylvia stomp on her shinbone with such force!
