Inside the café, Ginger was sipping on a cup of delicious coffee.
She was imagining the tragic scene of Southlake Corporation facing a crisis where they couldn't sell their products.
She felt proud of herself for having dealt with such a huge problem alone. She thought that if she could drive Southlake Corporation out of Dhord City, Jyn would see her as someone who was worthy of serving her.
Perhaps their relationship could even go back to what it used to be.
Just thinking about it made Ginger smile.
"Ms. Copley, I see you're in the mood for a good cup of joe." A deep voice appeared near Ginger's ear.
She turned around in shock and said, "Caspian!"
"Ah, I didn't expect you to still remember me. It's such an honor!" Caspian sat down opposite her and smiled.
"What brings you here, Caspian?" Ginger asked with a darkened expression.
Something must have happened for him to seek her.
"What brings me here? You tell me! Why are you trying to frame Southlake Corporation?" Caspian gestured toward Damon and said, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Come over here!"
Damon trudged over with an embarrassed look on his face.
Ginger's face darkened. She could guess that Damon's plan must have failed.
"Mr. Lynch," Damon respectfully said when he reached Caspian's side.
He was now very afraid of Caspian because he was very vicious.
"Do you know her?" Caspian asked as he pointed to Ginger.
"Yes! I know her! She's the secretary of Jyn Morrison, the CEO of Morrison Group. She gave me a check of ten million dollars, asking me to mess with Southlake Corporation …"
Ginger suddenly cut him off by saying, "Stop it with your nonsense. I don't even know who you are. I've never given you any money.
"If you dare to frame me, I'll have the police arrest you!"
Ginger glared at Damon, her face full of resentment.
If this was before he met Caspian, he would have been intimidated by Ginger as she was Jyn's secretary.
However, now that Caspian had control over him, he wouldn't dare to lie. He could only testify against Jyn.
"Ms. Copley, what do you think you're doing? You want to throw me under the bus?" Damon asked coldly.
"You're trying to frame me based on your words alone. Do you have any evidence?" Ginger asked Damon with a look of disdain on her face.
She had everything planned from the start. Even though she was the one who hired Damon, there would be no evidence of it.
So, if Caspian came for her, she would be fine as long as she denied it until the end. It was a pretty solid plan.
Nonetheless, Damon wasn't stupid. It was because he had always been cautious that he could survive in Dhord City for so many years.
"Did you think I have no trump cards to play, Ms. Copley? Especially when it comes to dealing with profiteers like you?" Damon smiled smugly.
Following this, he took out a voice recorder.
"There's a recording of the entire transaction process between me and Ginger."
Ginger's face turned frigid.
This bastard had actually recorded their conversation! How devious!
"Give it to me!" Ginger was furious. She wanted to snatch the recorder.
"Why? You plan to destroy the evidence?" Caspian teased as he took the recorder.
There was no use in denying the allegations any longer as both the witness and physical evidence were there.
"So what if I was the one who gave the order? What do you plan to do?" Ginger gave up trying to deny it since she could no longer escape.
Moreover, she was Jyn's secretary. Caspian wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
Besides, all that she had done was what Jyn wanted.
"You really think I have no way to deal with you?" Caspian coldly asked as he stood.
Suddenly, Caspian was emanating a terrifying and menacing energy.
Ginger couldn't help but tremble before this ominous energy.
"What do you want to do, Caspian? I am Jyn's secretary. If you lay a finger on me, Jyn would never forgive you! The Morrison family would also never spare you!" Ginger said as she stared at Caspian, all the while trembling with fear.
She knew very well the lengths Caspian would go to harm someone.
As she was unarmed, she could only rely on her ties with the Morrison family to escape this crisis.
