Chapter 33 See How You'll Cry Later!

Melvin pursed his thin lips, and he walked out of the hotel without saying a word.

Fred had no choice but to call his men to release those two people.

Stacy and Mr. Pollard were tied up in a darkened room, shivering.

She never could have imagined that Lyra actually knew such a big shot like Melvin, and her jealousy towards Lyra deepened even more.

An orphan who grew up in an orphanage, whose marital status on the profile seemed to read "Divorced".

What made a woman like this worthy of the help from so many excellent men in Frayton?

But more than jealousy, she was afraid at the moment.

It was the fear of how Melvin would handle them.

The light turned on with a crisp snap, both were almost blinded under the sudden illumination.

They were trembling with fear, and before they could ask for mercy, they saw Fred's men untying them!

Then the group of people left directly without casting them a glance.

The two people looked at each other in puzzlement.

What was going on here?

They let them go so easily?

Mr. Pollard immediately called Mr. Harper to ask for information, and Stacy also listened next to him.

But Mr. Harper's phone was off.

They couldn't get through.

The two had no other choice but to separate first. They couldn't stay in this place, in case Melvin might regret it and come back to catch them.

After returning home, Stacy talked to Irene on the phone and learned that Mr. Harper and Mr. McCormick had been arrested.

Irene questioned her, "How the hell did you do it? What went wrong?"

"My conversation with Mr. Pollard was overheard by Mr. Freeman of the Freeman Group, and he tied us up. Mr. Harper and Mr. McCormick were probably reported to the police by Mr. Freeman."

Stacy still had a question in her heart. "But I can't figure out why he would let me and Mr. Pollard go if he could send the other two to jail?"

Irene was silent for a moment.

"I'll send someone to look into this. You just need to keep an eye on that woman."

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Stacy turned to hug the man at her side.

The man was partly bald, probably in his forties. He lustfully confined her to his arms, "That new director seems fine to me. You really hate her that much?"

Stacy sniffed and pushed him away in irritation.

"Are you serious? You had said before that you would support my promotion, but that woman suddenly came out of nowhere. If it wasn't that she was pretty, would you care about such things?"

Thinking of something, she continued to complain, "And my car, you actually gave me a used BMW! Am I that cheap in your heart?"

The man was rendered speechless for the moment, so he could only placate her, "Of course not. You are the most beautiful babe in my heart. I was strapped some time ago. When I've got the time, I'll personally take you to the 4S store to pick a better car."

Stacy grunted twice in displeasure.

"Since you want the director position so much, tomorrow at the conference, I'll find fault with her. By then you can help with a word or two. A newcomer like her certainly doesn't know how to deal with this. She'll only make a fool of herself in front of everyone. Thus, the position will soon be yours."

Stacy was delighted, "This is a deal then."

The man nodded, his eyes glinting with lust, "Baby, I've helped you so much. Shouldn't I be properly rewarded?"

Stacy blushed and pouted, "You're nasty!"

Early the next morning.

Stacy drove to work in her car, exuberant.

Before the conference, Lyra happened to ride up the elevator with her and couldn't help but tease, "Yo, Miss Kim, you look radiant. Had a sound sleep last night?"

Stacy contemptuously glanced at Lyra, "Yeah, definitely better than you did, Miss Carroll. I gather you were... sleepless last night, right?"

About last night's incident, she thought it through carefully. Judging by how Lyra was drugged, Mr. Harper and Mr. McCormick must have made it. But unfortunately, Melvin bumped into them and had them arrested by the police, which was why they did not have the opportunity to send the video to her or Mr. Pollard.

She was confident about her deduction, thus looking at Lyra with even more disdain at the moment.

What was there for a tarnished whore like her to be smug about?

Stacy proudly raised her chin and approached Lyra, taunting her, "Miss Carroll, I quite like you. If only we could be friends, but it's a pity that you are about to scram from that position, I'm afraid we won't be able to work together in the future."

Lyra sneered and looked at her like she was a fool, "Really?"

Ding.

The elevator arrived.

Lyra withdrew her eyes and took the lead to go out.

Looking at her proud figure, Stacy gritted her teeth with hatred, "I'd like to see how you're going to cry later!"

Each project team of the Angle Group had a monthly meeting mainly about making the overall plan for future work.

People of director level and above were positioned in the front half of the table; employees like Stacy would be sitting in the back half of the table, about five people away from Lyra's seat.

The board leaders and employees arrived one after another until Keith entered the room and the meeting officially started.

The department heads took turns to speak, and Stacy listened in boredom. Finally, it was time for Lyra to make her presentation.

Stacy clenched her fists in growing excitement.

However...

When she inadvertently glanced towards the directors' area, she didn't find that familiar figure. Even... this meeting hadn't even save him a spot. Every seat was taken.

What was going on?

That man was fine last night, and he went out for work this morning with her one after the other.

Stacy was puzzled and turned her head to meet Lyra's eyes who was not far away. Lyra gave her a knowing smile and then withdrew her gaze.

The smile looked stunning, but in Stacy's eyes, it was provocative.

Intuition told Stacy that this must have something to do with Lyra.

Being hesitant for a while, she finally couldn't restrain herself and asked the person next to her in a hushed voice, "Do you know why Mr. Lowery didn't come to the conference today?"

The man's face changed, and then he waved his hand hurriedly, "I don't know any Mr. Lowery. Don't ask me."

Hmm?

This reaction... Something was wrong

Stacy didn't believe it, and turned her head to look at the left again, but saw that the employee on the left immediately waved his hand even before she asked the question, "I don't know anything."

Stacy was completely bewildered.

At the conference, Lyra had already begun, "Grandviz is going to produce a male-protagonist TV show called "The Great Dynasty". After negotiation, we have decided that Cody Carver and Elias Navarro will be the first and the second male lead..."

"Wait a minute!"

Stacy suddenly raised her hand and interrupted, asking, "When did this happen? Why don't I know anything about it? What we discussed last night was clearly..."

Lyra followed her words, "What did we discuss yesterday? With whom?"

"With..." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Stacy choked. Last night, Mr. Harper and Mr. McCormick got arrested all of a sudden. If she said it, she would give herself away.
