Because if that wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t have become a substitute by Ulric’s side.
“That person must be crazy! How you look is determined by your parents’ genes, not by yourself!” Tilda rolled her eyes. “If I met someone who looked like me but wasn’t related by blood, I’d be eager to make her my sworn sister! What a rare fate that would be.”
Blood relation…
Tilda’s casual remark made Rosalind furrow her delicate brows.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” She shook her head.
Before Rosalind could say anything else, her phone rang.
She glanced at it, it was Cedric calling.
“Hello?”
“Tell me the whole story again, and I’ll see if I can come up with another solution,” Cedric said directly. “I thought about it yesterday. Lawyer Sirena has a high level of support within W Group. No matter what her reasons are for trying to frame you, not many people will believe it! Your evidence chain must be so complete that no one can refute it.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Mr. Walters already knows about this. It’s clear that he’s in a difficult position, trying to balance his friendship with you and his loyalty to W Group. You might not fully understand how important Lawyer Sirena is to W Group. She has represented W Group in many major lawsuits and won all of them.”
Rosalind tugged at the corner of her lips and smiled. “I get what you mean. If the problem lies with me, W Group can easily fire me without much impact, at most, they’d just admit to a hiring mistake. But if the truth comes out that Sirena deliberately framed me, W Group might not even fire her, right?”
“You have to understand Mr. Walters’ position. He’s actually been very considerate of you! Firing Lawyer Reynolds would be a big deal! Mr. Walters has to think about not only losing a key player but also the possibility of Lawyer Reynolds joining another company and turning against W Group.”
Sirena’s abilities were well-recognized, and many companies were eager to hire her.
Moreover, this incident was devastating for Rosalind as an assistant in the investment industry, but for a lawyer, it wasn’t such a big deal.
She could easily come up with some reason to target Rosalind.
Even if it was just because she didn’t like her!
At most, people would privately criticize her for bullying newcomers.
“So should I, as the victim, just let myself be bullied?”
“That’s not what I mean. I’m just analyzing the current situation for you,” Cedric sighed. “Don’t be quick to blame Mr. Walters for not being loyal. Because of your situation, he didn’t even attend this morning’s contract signing and probably returned to Northville City overnight.”
Ulric also returned to Northville City?
…
Shing Grand Manor, in the villa area.
Early in the morning, Audrey got up to exercise in the courtyard.
Although this place was a bit far from the city, it was surrounded by flowers and trees, making the air exceptionally fresh, a great place for recuperation.
“You’ve been exercising for twenty minutes, you should rest now! Don’t overdo it.” Sirena, already dressed in her work suit, walked over to support her.
Audrey smiled. “I’m fine. It’s you who has it tough! Staying with me in the suburbs every day and still getting up early to drive to work.”
“It’s just so I can spend more time with you! Ulric doesn’t have time, I can’t leave you alone.”
“Alright, alright, I know you’re the most filial!”
As soon as Audrey finished speaking, they saw a black car driving into the courtyard.
“That’s Ulric’s car! Didn’t he say he’d be back in a few days?”
Sirena’s hand clenched secretly, and her smile became somewhat stiff. “Yes, it seems he came back early.”
