Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 181

Several minutes later, Hugh showed up in the meeting room with several reporters following behind him.

Hugh had known about what was going on in the meeting before he even came here. He had thought of what he would do and prepared for it. He walked inside and directly connected the screen to his computer.

The reporters were getting ready to shoot the scene, and they aimed their cameras at Sophia and the screen.

Hugh opened his computer under everyone's confused gaze. They did not know what he was planning to do. He opened the Wechat For PC, and clicked on the chat records between him and Sophia.

Most of them were voice messages, so the others would not know what they had been talking about.

Actually, most of it were sweet messages of concern from Hugh. It was a bit embarrassing, but he continued scrolling through it so he could show these people what truly happened.

Hugh kept going through the messages and finally found out what he was looking for. He then had the page enlarged and people clearly saw the time stamp indicated on the message and it was clear as crystal that the conversation happened half a month ago.

Sophia had sent him two files. Hugh opened one of them, and it displayed twelve pieces of design drafts.

The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.

Hugh closed the file and then kept rolling up through the pages. Then he opened another file which was sent by Sophia just ten days ago. It was a PowerPoint presentation.

The designs in the presentation file were exactly the same as Yuki's. Yet, Yuki said that she had finished the designs just two days ago. Everyone in the meeting room was shocked as they started discussing with each other.

The reporters all took photos of the designs on the screens. Hugh and Sophia have presented a very concrete evidence.

Hugh looked at the crowd and said coldly, "Sophia Lo has already informed me about the concept of her design about a month ago. We all need evidence, don't we? We cannot just blindly believe the mere words that people would say. The truth is in front of you. This chat records indicate that Sophia sent me the design draft and designs many days ago. Sophia is innocent, and these evidences back her up on that."

One of the reporters curiously asked, "Is there any chance that Sophia Lo has stolen Yuki's design before she sent them to you?"

"That's possible. Maybe she has been lying to you since the very beginning." Someone also raised suspicions.

Sophia and Hugh took a glance at each other, and then Sophia smiled and said, "That's easy. We can alway pull up CCTV footage."

Then Jonas acted up on it and ordered the CCTV footage be showed on the screen. Judging by the footage, no one has come into Sophia's office.

Sophia realized that the video footage had been revised since the timeline was not accurate. Then she walked to Yuki with her phone, and whispered, "I can see that this video has been tempered with. Luckily, I know someone who is specializing in video recovery. I can call him to get it recovered in no time. Your call, Yuki."

Sophia saw Yuki's face go pale, and said sharply, "If eventually I find out that someone went into my office and looked through my computer, I won't hesitate to call the police and sue that person! I won't just stand here and have my design career ruined because of a false accusation!"

Three years ago, her life was ruined by a video which showed that she was having an affair with another man. Back then, she could do nothing but put up with it.

Now, she was capable of defending for herself. Her experience three years ago has toughened her up. She would not give up now.

Unlike Jonas, Yuki was clearly on edge now. Sophia sensed Yuki fidgeting with her hands. Yuki got into a panic when she heard what Sophia said to her, and replied hastily, "Sophia Lo, please don't call the police. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it. Someone threatened me and forced me to do it. I'm really sorry!"

Jonas's face went pale when he heard Yuki's words. 'A worthless piece of shit. Coward!' Jonas remorsefully said to himself.

"Who threatened you, and why?" Sophia stared at Yuki with a stern face. She wanted to press this up on her even more.

To the shock of everyone in the room, Yuki lifted her hand and started to point in Jonas' direction... Then she paused, changed direction and pointed to the assistant standing next to Jonas. "It's him, Mr. Li. He threatened me into doing it."

Jonas sighed with great relief, and reprimanded Mr. Li. "How can you do something like that? Are you out of your goddamn mind?"

Mr. Li did not know what just hit him. He looked at Jonas who kept winking at him, and replied, "Mr. Jonas, I..."

Before he could say anything else, Jonas looked into the camera and solemnly declared, "We are very sorry for what just happened here. Sophia Lo is indeed innocent. This is just a misunderstanding. Please trust that Pei Group will handle this matter very well. Thank you for your support."
