Even Ellison squinted at Joycelyn, who was beside him.

At this moment, Joycelyn was caught in a situation where she had just escaped one danger, only to walk right into another. 

Everyone’s gazes were filled with all kinds of judgment and suspicion, pushing her directly to the center of heated discussions 

Coupled with the fact that she had accidentally fallen into Ellison’s arms when she got off the stage earlier, everyone must have certainly cursed her countless times inwardly. 

Joycelyn took a deep breath, raised the blank script in her hand, and said, “Ms. Lorne, as the director and an important spokesperson of the company, it’s very unprofessional of you to screw up at a critical moment. 

“If I hadn’t stepped in to help, our company would have lost face in front of the world’s influential companies. 

“You being the victim does make your case more convincing, but I have my own views. 

“I suspect you’ve been bribed by corporate spies. To make our company lose the opportunity to expand, you purposely made yourself have an allergic reaction to play the victim. 

“Secondly, my introduction just now was all the key points noted at the previous press conference, along with some core points from the three–party meeting the other day. My presentation was impromptu. 

“Bring out your speech, and we’ll check it to see if I stole your speech manuscript in advance.” 

Joycelyn’s clear voice was loud and clear. She explained everything unhurriedly, not overly defending herself. She turned the issue back to Linda. 

When Linda heard that she was accused of being bribed by corporate spies, she couldn’t stay calm any longer. 

“Mr. Grant, I didn’t betray the company, nor have I ever thought about doing so,” she said, her tone becoming agitated. Her swollen face, which looked like a pig’s head, combined with her agitated expression, made her look somewhat comical. 

Joycelyn did not give her a chance to argue. She slowly questioned, “How come you had an allergic reaction just before you went on stage? 

“It’s you…” Linda pointed at Joycelyn and snapped. 

Joycelyn put on an expression of sudden realization on her flawless face and said, “Oh, it’s me. I made you have an allergic reaction. I was the one who swapped your speech manuscript. 

“And it’s me who made you unable to go on stage. Then, I exposel my ambition, waiting for you to accuse me and catch me “Ms. Lorne, you’re killing two birds with one stone. You used me a small–time employee, to ruin the company’s project, and then conveniently made me take the fall and lose my job. 

“You pulled off the move of putting all the chips in really smoothly. Small–time employees are nothing, huh? They’re just pawns for you to harm as you please so that you can further your interest, right?” 

If it weren’t for the CEO being present, she would have said that his was a case of workplace bullying. 

Her every word was eloquent and filled with brilliance, her specen flowing effortlessly. The more she spoke, the more

worked up she became. Her voice simply drowned out the sound of the microphone coming from the stage. 

After saying the last word, Joycelyn calmed down slightly.

This was because she realized that her aggressive stance earlier might have seemed quite harsh, and Ellison’s gaze had been fixed on her for quite a while without looking away 

She thought, ‘Well, I can’t help it. I was so darn mad. I almost fainted on the stage earlier, so I had to let off this steam 

“By the way, Mr. Grant, I request that the police be called to prove my innocence,” she said. “From the moment 1 arrived here, I haven’t been alone for a single moment, and there are plenty of surveillance cameras that can verify this.” 

“Alright,” Ellison said, agreeing to Joycelyn’s request. “William, handle it.” 

He asked William to call the police to assist in the investigation 

With such a clumsy tactic, they would naturally know the truth once they checked the surveillance footage. 

“Mr. Grant… I have no grievances with Joycelyn,” Linda said. “Why would I frame her? If the company’s project fails. I’ll have to bear responsibility too. Besides, there’s no reason for me to put my life at risk doing all this.” Linda’s voice became increasingly hoarse as she spoke. 

“Don’t worry,” Ellison said, his serious and cold voice holding no warmth. “Let the evidence speak for itself. Well know the truth once we check the surveillance footage. Where’s the coffee you drank? Pass it to William. Let’s have it checked and tested. 

Hearing this, Linda 

heart skipped a beat. 

This was especially the case when she saw Joycelyn’s fearless expression. After carefully considering, she mentioned her coffee was still in the lounge and said a few words. Then, her body went limp, and she fainted. 

It happened that the paramedics arrived just in time and hurriedly treated her. 

Ellison turned his head and comforted the still–angry Joycelyn with a slightly softer voice. “You did great just now,” he said, “Let’s head back and talk. The matter will be investigated thoroughly.” 

“Mm–hmm.” Joycelyn nodded. 

Admittedly, this was the first time she had encountered such an incident. She was really flustered, and she was very angry 

100. 100. 

As soon as Linda fainted, she had no reason to confront her. She could only wait for the investigation results to come out and clear her name. 

Joycelyn kept her head down, following Ellison. 

She was wrongfully accused based on distorted facts and had muhurled at her for no reason. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. 

The two of them walked, one in front of the other. 

Ellison exuded an air of noble elegance, his presence cold and commanding. As he walked ahead, people felt a sense of awe One after another, they made way for him. 

Joycelyn followed Ellison, looking like someone who was often the receiving end of other people’s anger. She was so

focused on walking that she did not notice that the man ahead fad suddenly come to a stop. 

She then bumped into his firm back with a hang 

Ellison was stunned. 

The force of the collision made it hard not to feel the anger she was carrying at that moment. 

Ellison turned around, looked down at Joycelyn, and comforted her, saying, “Don’t be angry. I believe you.”

Joycelyn rubbed her aching forehead from the bump. When she looked up, she saw Ellison’s deep eyes. He was watching her with concern, just like when she was on stage earlier, feeling flustered and helpless, while he was in the audience, encouraging her and cheering her on. 

“I know you believe me, but others don’t,” she said. They surely think I’m a cunning and petty person who framed my colleague and threw myself at you. Who knows what they’ll say about me.” 

“Do you care about them or me?” Ellison said. “Huh?” The corners of his lips curled up, and his well–defined facial features were filled with gentleness. 

When Joycelyn heard this question, she immediately wrinkled her nose. “But this is in public. We have to be reasonable. You have no idea how scared I was earlier. I almost tripped over on stage. 

“I was worried I would say something wrong and cause the company to suffer heavy losses. She just casually dismissed all my efforts with one remark.” 

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt.
