Xenia shot daggers at Christina and sniped, “Stop acting all innocent. I’m the one who got you caught up in the whole plagiarism scandal. Now that the truth is out, you can’t wait to see me jump,right?
Not only had she taken photos of Christina’s design daft when the latter was not paying attention, but she had also deliberately gone online and incited netizens to have Christina kicked out of Radiant Corporation. Now, she had to bear the consequences of her actions.
My colleagues are calling me ungrateful and a traitor for double-crossing someone from the same company. They’re also telling me to get out of Radiant Corporation and to go to hell!
Christina bit her lip. Then, she asked, “With your incredible talent for embroidery, are you going to give up just like that?”
I’ve observed her work closely. Her needlework is excellent, he can even give her embroidery a three-dimensional effect.
Anna also stepped forward to help with persuading Xenia. “Xenia, don’t do something stupid. Hurry up and get down from there. Haven’t you read the announcement yet?”
In truth, Xenia had not dared to read any of the company’s posts as the comments were flooded with insults and call for her to get lost.
Seeing the pair singing the same tune made her feel even more upset. “Both of you should stop pretending. Christina is biased. She always delegates the easiest work to Anna while leaving the most laborious tasks like embroidering to me. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve pricked my fingers on the needles. Whenever my fingers bleed, she only carts about the clothes and not me. You two are responsible for the state I’m in today!”
She blurted out all her grievances all of a sudden, wanting to let the others know just how Christina abused her power.
Even though Christina was on the receiving end of those accusations, Anna felt a burst of anger when she heard that. She shouted, “Xenia Darby, so it’s true what they said when they called you utterly
heartless!”
Christina felt as though she were about to lose her head. Now is the time to talk sense into Xenia and calm her down, but why is she stoking the fire?
Even though she grabbed Anna’s arm, the latter’s fury did not subside in the slightest. All Anna could think of was to rush forward and slap Xenia.
Christina sighed, blaming herself for not explaining things clearly previously. “I put you in charge of embroidery because you’re very talented. I also recommended you to one of the top ten embroidery companies in the country. I was planning to tell you after we finished this batch of dresses…”
Alas, this happened before we could finish making the dresses.
When Christina held up her phone to show the offer letter, Xenia was utterly shocked. Everything she thought was true came crumbling down around her in an instant.
Christina’s kindness and sincerity made her feel ashamed of her actions. Burying her face in her

Seizing the chance when Xenia was momentarily distacted, the security guard standing to one side. swooped her up in his arms and brought her down. After that, Xenia fainted from the shock and had to be sent to the hospital.
More than anything, the commotion left others heartbroken.
Christina returned to the sewing room, feeling terrible. She sent the offer letter to Xenia’s phone, hoping the unpleasant incident would merely be a minor hiccup that did not affect her future.
Just then, Anna walked in with a cup of latte. “Drink this. It’ll help to calm you down.”
Forcing a smile, Christina held the warm cup to her lips and took a sip.
Her eyes were slightly lowered, seemingly lost in thought.
Anna patted her shoulder gently and continued to comfort her. “You’re just too kind. What happened isn’t your fault at all.”
Actually, I was also guilty of harboring prejudice toward Christina in the beginning. Through our interactions. however, my admiration for this young yet responsible lady gradually grew. Others say she climbed the ladder by riding on someone’s coattails, but she genuinely has what it takes. Xenia’s hubris is to blame for this incident.
Christina finally snapped out of her daze and said calmly, “I’m fine. Let’s get back to work.”
After the scandal blew over, Christina insisted on returning Henrietta her money and compensated the company for the cost of the materials for the dress out of her own pocket.
Henrietta’s attitude toward her shifted considerably upon learning that she had not copied another’s. work and even suggested engaging her again in the future.
Christina did not refuse, and the two exchanged contact information.
