Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 527

Anne and Rose both looked at Cora. Anne heavily sighed before she said, "The cameras in the company were destroyed and all the relevant contracts were stolen. And you all decided to enter the employ of the TS Company. We have no choice but to speak to you in person."

Cora still stood in the doorway, feeling a little uneasy. "Anne, you don't need to say anything more. I understand. I appreciate that you didn't call the police."

If the police found out about this, their design careers would be completely destroyed.

Anne walked closer to Cora, who looked pale and drained. She frowned slightly, and asked, "Do you believe that I would be able to protect you?"

Cora raised her gaze to meet Anne's. Anne's eyes were deep and dark, enigmatic like a bottomless pit or the endless night sky. They gleamed expectantly as Anne stared at her.

Yet...something seemed off kilter.

Cora glanced back at her mother, and lowered her head. She smiled bitterly. "Anne, you are an influential and powerful woman. I believe you can find other ways to solve the problems. But I can't take this kind of risk, let alone implicate my parents."

It seemed that she would rather be condemned for doing the wrong thing rather taking the risk of doing what was just and right.

Anne sighed and gave a small nod. She understood Cora's predicament. Anne was seen as influential and powerful, and that was the reason the other girl refused to tell the truth? However, wasn't she the one who was dealt the heaviest blow in this whole affair?

So was she really that powerful? It didn't seem to be the case. Her child was lying in hospital and her company was in the gutter. Was this the life of a powerful person?

"Anne, I'm really sorry, but..." Cora pursed her lips tightly. She didn't need to finish her sentence. Everyone understood.

'But I still choose to betray you and not to help you.' That was what the end of her sentence would be if she had the guts to be honest.

Anne shook her head gently, trying to show that she accepted the decision. Rose had visited thirteen designers already, to absolutely no avail. No one would even give her an inch, when they would need a yard - perhaps even a mile.

Now that Anne herself had joined Rose in approaching these designers, she would not give in as easily. She had just been rejected once. It would not deter her.

"Anyway, we are work colleagues. I don't expect you to help me just based on that. I will not hold this against you. Find a good company, and work hard. Good luck for your future." Anne patted Cora gently on her shoulder, trying her best to put on that she was not affected by this.

Cora held back her tears and nodded.

Anne turned to Rose. All Rose could do was return her an understanding, disappointed nod.

Rose had genuinely thought they had a glimmer of hope when they had seen Cora before them... But now, all hope was crushed.

"Don't worry. We still have a chance. Don't look so down-trodden," Anne encouraged Rose with a smile.

Rose shook her head as if she were trying to shake off the experience. But she smiled. They were on the right side of the law so they would retaliate against this injustice. They were determined to take the wrongdoers to court.

A clean hand wanted no washing. The worst case scenario, they defeated Kim and restored their reputation. Nothing bad could happen to them when they were in the right.

It was really just a matter of time, of which they had plenty.

"I know you are right - I really believe you. Yet... I still can't help feeling a bit upset. We have always gone above and beyond with them, treating them exceptionally. Now, they just repay us with disappointment," Rose responded. Including Cora, they had visited fourteen designers in total. They had been met with disappointment consistently.

"They are forced to do this." Anne lowered her eyes. She knew how conniving, or how threatening, Kim could be. She would understand if every single designer refused to show up.

Rose sighed, exhausted by the constant rejection. She had to give it to Anne; her positive attitude was something to admire.

"Well, I ought to be off to the hospital now," Anne advised, glancing at her watch. "According to Sam, Eddy is recovering slowly but surely. The possibility that he rejects the heart is quite low."

Rose nodded seriously and her eyes were bright at hearing the great news. As long as Eddy was safe and sound, they could deal with anything else that came their way.

"Then let us make our way over to the hospital. Perhaps Eddy is awake!" said Rose with an enthused smile.

Anne nodded in agreement. When she was about to get into the car, she heard a voice calling urgently from behind her.

"Wait! Anne, Rose. Please wait just a minute!"

That voice... Their hearts skipped a beat. It was none other than Cora.

They turned in unison. As they thought, it was Cora running after them, out of breath having exerted such effort to make sure she caught them.

They looked at each other, hopefully. Was it possible that Cora had come back to say that she was willing to help?

Cora reached them and paused to catch her breath. She fetched a disk out of her bag and started to explain, "On the day of the runway show, we were all seething when we found out our designs had been appropriated that way. I went to the CCTV room and made a copy of some footage to this disk. You will find the moment when we confirmed submission of the designs on here."

Anne and Rose were shocked. That day, they had selected designs for the runway show from innumerable amazing designs. Everyone was thrilled at the prospect of the show, and really had fun in the process of picking final items to make the show. Anne even ordered food to celebrate the moment. They had a truly wonderful time.

This scene was cold, hard proof that would completely destroy the evidence of the TS Company.

This was amazing!

"Anne, if I did not have parents to worry about, I would definitely testify in court. But I have a duty towards them - I am sincerely sorry." Cora looked down at the disk and bit her bottom lip. "But... I think that this disk will be very helpful to your case."

"Yes, of course. It will be very useful," Anne said seriously. "Thank you, Cora! Truly, thank you so, so much."

Cora shook her head and smiled, "I will at least appease my conscience a little if I can help, even in this little way."

After that, she looked at Anne for just a moment. Then, she turned and took her leave. In all honesty, Anne was very generous and benevolent as a boss. She treated her employees well. She gave them many benefits and also didn't expect them to work overtime. They were all quite happy to have such a wonderful boss.

However, the short time with this great boss and inspired co-workers had come to an untimely end.

Cora had no idea what her next boss would be like. She grimaced slightly and shook her head. Who could possibly be as kind as Anne?

"Cora, this disk you have given us will ensure justice for the LF Group. We will succeed in court. Not only you, but all other eighteen designers will be welcomed back to my company with open arms. I will not hold any of this against you - it will be as if it has it never happened," Anne stated with determination.
