“Mom, I just went out to run some errands.”
“Ran what kind of business.”
Amelia Bright could not find the right words to say for a while and was a bit flustered.
“It was an errand for me.” A cold voice came from overhead.
Amelia Bright looked up almost simultaneously with Erlina Lee and followed the voice.
In the hallway on the second floor near the study, Farren Austin was sitting in his wheelchair in a moon white housecoat, his figure hidden behind the railing, looking down at them now, his eyes not even half rippling.
Erlina Lee froze for a moment, “You asked her to run an errand for you?”
“Hmm.” Farren Austin swept an expressionless glance at Amelia Bright, a glance that sent panic straight to her heart.
“Don’t you always have Adjutant Xun to help you with anything? What can she do for you?”
“Personal matters.”
Farren Austin only dropped two very perfunctory words, then looked at Amelia Bright and said, “I’m tired and ready to rest.”
Amelia Bright was still frozen, but Erlina Lee immediately and pleasantly, pushing her waist urgently.
“Why don’t you go and help.”
“I’m on my way.”
Amelia Bright walked upstairs while secretly thankful that she had woken up and analyzed the Austin family situation clearly enough and stood in line well.
The room, isolated from the sounds outside, the ears quieted down.
“Do you want to take a shower? I’ll put on the hot water.”
“Shouldn’t you first explain to me what you’ve been busy with outside lately?”
“Huh?” Amelia Bright tried to play dumb, “I’m not busy with anything, it’s just that the company worked overtime some time ago, and in the past two days it just stopped working overtime, so I went out for a shopping trip or something to relax.”
“Really? You mean the man you had coffee with at the cafe tonight is the one you went shopping with?”
Amelia Bright’s face froze abruptly.
It had only been an hour since she had had coffee with Miyagawa, but Farren Austin had found out so quickly.
“Just ordinary friends …”
“Think about it,” Farren Austin eyes deep, “next time I may not be willing to help you in front of the family.”
Amelia Bright’s heart stuttered, vaguely guessed something.
After weighing the importance of the matter, she said, “That person is actually the one who is related to the plagiarism of the company two days ago, the designer of Beauty.”
The person who is the designer of Beauty is actually the one who is related to the company’s plagiarism two days ago.” After measuring Farren Austin’s face did not change, she went on to say.
“I heard him arguing with our company’s designer inside the garage, saying what work is his interview to that designer, I am afraid he has been blocked in front of the company’s influence is not good, so I found a nearby place to invite him to have a cup of coffee, casual conversation.”
She concealed some part of the story about Miyagawa.
Even if Farren Austin was capable, he couldn’t really put a wire on himself, right?
“You don’t suspect that I have something to do with this man, do you?”
“To not be suspected, you should watch your words and actions, it’s stupid enough to be caught in the act so easily,”
Farren Austin gave her a cold look and held the cell phone photo directly in front of her face.
It was a picture of Amelia Bright and Miyagawa having coffee at a cafe more than an hour ago, taking a picture of her front face and one of Miyagawa’s back from diagonally opposite.
Amelia Bright frowned, “This is a false accusation, this is a rumor, I just thought there might be something inside this matter of plagiarism before asking, I was thinking of the Austin family’s company and reputation.”
“So what, what did you ask about?”
“He said he didn’t plagiarize, but I asked, and he had little evidence to prove anything, otherwise he wouldn’t have been kicked out by Beauty and come to the Austin Group.”
“What do you think?”
“Huh?” Amelia Bright froze for a moment, “What do I think?”
“Since it’s your colleague in the same department, how do you feel about the plagiarism.”
Amelia Bright couldn’t understand Farren Austin’s mind, she was a bit apprehensive whenever he asked her to express her opinion, so she thought deeply about it and picked something that was not related to her.
“On the one hand, the legal department and the technical department have checked all the company’s emails and security cameras and found no trace of anyone leaking the design, and on the other hand, Miyagawa hasn’t even graduated yet, not until June this year. ”
Farren Austin looked at her with a deeper look and concluded succinctly, “So you’re saying that the Austin Group design department plagiarized.”
Amelia Bright swallowed and whispered.
“To be precise, it was actually Mary He, the main designer of the jewelry collection, who copied it.”
Farren Austin nodded thoughtfully.
“So, did Mom receive a photo like this too, which is why she just asked me downstairs?”
That reminded Farren Austin, and his brow furrowed in an inaudible way.
“You’re quite capable, you haven’t been out long and you’ve offended someone.”
“In all honesty,” Amelia Bright held up three fingers on her right hand, “I sit up straight, I have no conscience, and I’m just a small person. I know that I must be the best they can do, but fortunately you are protecting me.”
Farren Austin face suddenly stiffened and asked rhetorically.
“When did I protect you?”
“Just now, you helped me out in front of Mom!” Amelia Bright blinked and looked innocent, “I knew you’d believe I wasn’t the type of person to hook up with someone.”
Farren Austin’s face froze even more.
When did he mean that? But I was afraid that my mother’s character would make a big deal out of it, so I stopped myself to ask for clarification.
“The first thing you need to do is to get some sleep, I have to work tomorrow.”
Amelia Bright did not allow him to speak, pushing his wheelchair into the bathroom.
Farren Austin stared at her for a moment, trying to see something on her face, but she was relaxed and at ease, as if she hadn’t been asked anything unpleasant about the questioning she had just done.
After falling asleep, Amelia Bright closed her eyes and wondered who was behind her.
Amelia Bright’s identity is not a threat to anyone, she used to live a careful, cowardly and inferior life, and would like to hide inside a turtle shell for the rest of her life, let alone offend someone.
So the thing that offended people, nine out of ten is that she returned to the Austin family with this body after making a mistake.
The scope is so narrow that it is not difficult to guess.
It’s not the Bright family who are the villains of the wind, then it’s the couple who made a fool of themselves at the wedding because of her.
From the ability to send photos to Farren Austin and Erlina Lee so quickly, it is the latter that is most likely.
This Stetson Madden, who really is still deadly, likes to stick his knife in the back.
