Rachel was stunned by her cold and scornful gaze.
Before she had time to get angry again, she saw Lyra take out her cell phone and started to read something out unhurriedly, "Rachel Collier, employee of Cloudbound. During your five years in the company, you secretly dated other supervisors many times behind the back of Mr. Louise Dillon here, the Deputy General Manager of Business Department. And you also took advantage of the business trips to hook up with numerous clients. Tsk, I didn't expect you to be so capable."
"Shut up!"
Rachel's original arrogance was immediately weakened a bit already, "You have no evidence. This is slander! I can sue you for defamation."
"Hold on, I'm not done yet."
Lyra continued to read with interest the information on her phone, "Also, you've embezzled more than 20,000 dollars. This little habit of yours remains unchanged since you were out of the orphanage. Am I right? This money is not enough to send you to jail, but if your company finds out..."
She gave a slight pause and her red lips smiled brightly.
Rachel followed her pause with a skip of heartbeat.
"They'll definitely fire you, I'm afraid. But I also wonder if other companies in the industry will blacklist you when they find out?"
Lyra put away her phone and turned to admire Rachel's livid face with aplomb.
"Where's the evidence?!"
Rachel insisted, "You've made up such a wonderful story that I almost believed it. But don't you try to slander me without concrete evidence!"
She rolled her eyes at Lyra, but not long after she said those words, her phone rang.
Lyra raised an eyebrow and smiled, hinting at Rachel with her eyes, "Isn't that what you've asked for?"
Rachel glared at her with hatred; seeing that it was her leader calling, she answered the phone with trembling hands.
Before she could say hello, the leader's angry scolding rang out in her ears.
"Good for you Rachel Collier. I thought you were an honest person. Turned out you're quite bold! I know all the good things you did! Cloudboud won't allow such a scum like you to be our employee. You are finished!"
"No, sir, please listen to my explanation!"
Rachel was so anxious that her voice took on a crying tone as she defended herself, "It's all because someone has set me up. You've got to trust me!"
"Set you up? Do you really think I'm an idiot?"
The leader snorted, "Hurry to the company. I'll let you know exactly why you should scram!"
Rachel struggled to explain, but the other party had already hung up impatiently.
She put down the phone in despair. Her eyes looking at Lyra were now imploring, when the previous contempt had long since dissipated.
Lyra became the owner of the entire car market in just half an hour, and then found out all her background information in the few minutes when she was arguing with Louis.
This woman was terrifying!
"Who the hell are you?!"
She stared at Lyra with an astonished face, but the latter just gave a half smile, aloof and proud gaze. Even if she was just standing, the strong presence she got was like innate.
Rachel finally realized that Lyra must be something more than the plain orphanage girl she remembered.
"Lyra, I made a mistake! Please forgive me!"
She put herself in an extremely humble position, with pleading written all over her face.
"I can't lose this job, I'm really wrong. Please spare me!"
Lyra did not say a word, as if waiting for her to continue.
"I did it all wrong. I shouldn't have humiliated you. Considering that we had been in the orphanage together for so many years. I know you're magnanimous. Could you do me this favor as a friend? I really can't lose this job. I can't get blacklisted by the industry!"
She kept bowing and apologizing to Lyra, humbling herself to the dust.
