A Love Trap novel Chapter 370

"Mr. Cheng, you wouldn't be partial to Ashley just because you are her cousin, would you? You were also the one who brought her in, correct?"

Sylvia said these words to tell everyone the secret! The words that fell from her mouth can't be taken back. It was meant to tarnish Ashley's reputation and end her there.

'It was Mr. Johnny Cheng, who brought her in!

Who was Johnny? He was the outstanding assistant of Andrew!

He must have played his cards well to get the position for Ashley!' thought by everyone on the room.

Amaia, who stood next to Ashley, was enraged about what Sylvia said. 'How dare she say that! She was the one who got herself in through the back door!

No one would do such a thing except for her!'

Ashley caught hold of Amaia as she was about to rise from her seat and whispered to her ear," Keep calm. Let her speak."

Johnny felt apprehensive after he heard Sylvia's words. His palm started sweating in panic.

'Damn it!

It's okay if you wanted to die, but leave me alone, OK? Don't drag me into it!'

Johnny looked at Andrew cautiously. When he thought about the relationship between Miss Mu and his boss, wasn't that indirectly indicating he's cousins with him as well?

'Being the boss's cousin?' Johnny shivered with fear just thinking about it. 'It's impossible!'

Andrew sat still with a blank expression. No one knew what he thought, which only served to frighten Johnny even more.

'Boss is more terrifying this way.' Beads of sweat started to form on Johnny's forehead as his mind scrambled for a way to answer Sylvia.

'This woman was silly enough to pass the buck to me. Maybe she didn't hear what the boss said.

It was obviously Andrew, the true boss here, who brought Miss Mu in. Daring to frame Miss Mu, I doubt she'd end up anywhere good.'

Without missing a beat, Sylvia turned to Andrew and said, "Boss, are you going to let Johnny do whatever he wants?"

The two senior leaders present were too afraid to say anything and hung their heads low.

'Was she questioning Andrew?' They silently prayed that they won't be dragged into it when it spirals out of control.

Neither of them dared to do this. They were terrified of the consequences. 'Perhaps Sylvia was unaware of it. That, or she wasn't afraid to die.'

Andrew didn't look at Sylvia at all. There was no need to pay attention to a piece of dead meat. Instead, he glanced at Johnny. It was but a single glance, but it was all it took for Johnny to take action.

Shock ran through Johnny's spine as he quivered. If he doesn't resolve this immediately, he might not live to see tomorrow. He flashed in front of the computer. Johnny glowered at Sylvia and inquired in an icy manner, "You are so stubborn. I'm asking you for the last time. Whose design is this?"

Sylvia was spooked that she might die. However, she held her ground and believed that if she insisted that it was hers, their hands were tied. She fervently believed they had no evidence against her.

Sylvia answered, "It's my design." She was convinced that no one would know about the truth.

After he got the answer, Johnny sat straight in front of the computer and searched for something. He paid no attention to Sylvia. For a while, only the sound of clicking can be heard. Everyone was on edge. A few minutes had only passed, but it seemed like eternity. No one knew what was about to happen.

Suddenly, the list of participants of the design competition was displayed on the screen along with their respective design drawings.

As the pictures were shown one after another, Johnny started to say, "Sylvia, you must have forgotten that these were collected by Miss Mo. The names, entry numbers, and design drawings were compiled. Now, can you check and see whose design drawing is in your hands? Is it yours or Ashley's?"

Once she got fired from the Lu Group, there wouldn't be any company who would accept and employ her.

She started losing it and went crazy. She can't let herself end here! Regret filled her mind as she pleaded with Ashley to help smoothen things out.

Amaia was afraid of Ashley being soft-hearted. She glanced at her and advised, "Ashley, don't fall for her words. Don't forget what she has done to you." Sylvia was not worth forgiving.

Maybe she would do the same thing one day.

Ashley nodded to Amaia in acknowledgment. She knew that Amaia was only concerned for her. Either way, she didn't have any intention to help her.

Ashley didn't pity Sylvia at all. She deserved this.

Andrew tapped his long white fingers on the table without expression.

Johnny knew that his boss was growing impatient. He was silently ordering him to speed things up and he could only follow it. "In view of what Sylvia has done, she should be fired," he said.

Sylvia threw herself into a chair, pale and speechless.

'Was this what I hoped for?'

"Moreover, the two employees who testified for Sylvia will be given a verbal warning." However, Johnny knew that it wouldn't be long before the two would be fired sooner or later, for they dared to frame Ashley.

When he finished handing down the judgement, Johnny turned to Kelly, "Miss. Mo, what do you think? Do you have anything to add?"

'Why not ask me before you dealt with this?' Kelly muttered to herself.

"No, Mr. Cheng did a great job. Well done!" Kelly smiled.
