Caroline's POV:
Reading the trending topics about Raina put me in a good mood.
"Elena, get ready. We'll be going back to the company to work later."
Once we had returned to the company, Elena began to report the current progress of the work. "The promotional video that Sofia starred in has made the east coast project a lot more popular," she said.
"I've seen that ad. It's quite good," I replied, nodding in approval.
"Ma'am, the day you were kidnapped, Mr. Moore sent his men to stop Adam. Because of the Moore Group's protection, the disturbance at the groundbreaking ceremony was arrested before the situation could escalate," Elena continued.
I breathed a sigh of relief, yet somehow still felt conflicted.
'If it weren't for Charles, Adam would've ruined the groundbreaking ceremony. And if that happened, things would become irreparable for me. But why did it have to be Charles who helped me? I'm owing him more and more. How am I supposed to pay him back now?' I wondered.
After finishing up at work, I left my office to look for Victoria.
The moment Victoria saw me, she suddenly put away something in her hand and was visibly panicking.
"Miss Wilson, what can I do for you?"
"Take it out," I commanded.
After a moment of hesitation, Victoria relented and took out a magazine.
I skimmed through a few pages and saw that they were all about me.
Each article accused me of murdering Susan. In the articles, they claimed that I didn't deserve to be the CEO of the Wilson Group.
My face turned grim and I scoffed.
'I already know who would throw such baseless accusations at me. But unfortunately, no conclusive evidence has been found yet. However, I am going to remember this. No matter the cost, I'll find evidence to prove that Adam did this!'
"Miss Wilson, the stock price of our company may be stabilizing, but rumors about you still run rampant," Victoria remarked.
"What else happened while I was away?" I asked. After a moment of pondering, Victoria answered, "Vanessa Lewis decided to cease cooperation with the Wilson Group anymore, but Mr. Felix is currently trying to convince her to continue working with us."
"I see. You can get back to work." I put down the magazine, and went back to my office.
"Ma'am, Mr. Felix is here. He says he wants to see you," Elena said the second she came in.
I nodded at her. "Call him in."
Not long after, Simon came in wearing a smirk.
"Ah, Caroline! So, you've decided to go back to work, huh? Is that really okay? Don't you need to rest more?"
I nodded at him and motioned for him to sit down.
"I've heard that Vanessa wants to terminate the contract, and that you went to see her," I asked. "Yep, I did. I tried convincing her to continue working with us, and she said that she'd think about it," Simon replied.
"Thank you, Simon. No matter what she requests, do it as long as she doesn't cross any boundaries."
I rubbed between my eyebrows, feeling a little exhausted.
Simon decided to change the topic. "So, uh... have you been resting well these days, Caroline? Do you feel better now?"
When I saw the concern in his eyes, I somehow felt upset.
"Much better. Thank you for your concern."
Just then, the door of my office was pushed open.
I glanced over at the door and saw Vanessa coming in.
She sat next to Simon and greeted me with a smile.
Surprised by her appearance, I said, "It's really nice to see you here, Miss Lewis."
"I'm here to discuss the cooperation," Vanessa responded bluntly.
"I assure you, Miss Lewis, that the murder case was nothing but a misunderstanding. Our company is absolutely trustworthy," I replied, trying my best to save the cooperation.
"Honestly, I'd like to work with you as a partner. I've also read the announcement of the Hill Group. And thus, I've decided to continue working with the Wilson Group." Vanessa gave me a smile.
Overjoyed, I said, "Miss Lewis, I swear, you will not regret your decision."
