The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 388

Andy stared at Autumn seeking a positive response. "Moreover, the launch event was a success. If Father and Mother find out that I didn't give you any bonus, they will scold me quite harshly. So please just honor me to do something for you simply based on your merits."

Autumn blushed pink. After all, Paula did go out her way to ensure the launch event was ruined. She said awkwardly, "Uncle Andy, Paula had a problem with me. She stole all the merchandise as an act of revenge."

"Don't worry about that. You saved the day and that is all that matters now, " Andy comforted her, "Once you informed me about the missing clothes, I immediately called the police. By now, I am sure the police must have arrived and will take her away for further questioning after conducting preliminary investigation."

Andy thought to himself, 'A person as foul as Paula deserves what she gets. Autumn used to tolerate her while being generous towards her. But her kindness was repaid with ingratitude. So this time, I swear not to let her go unpunished.'

Autumn was the reason Paula became so notorious. Paula would seize every chance to embarrass Autumn and put her down. She knew that today was Giant Promise Company's launch event. After managing to sneak backstage without anyone noticing, she stole the samples from the mannequins which Giant Promise Company delicately prepared and hid them in a corner. She hoped that Autumn would land in trouble.

She was so confident that she would not get caught. Instead of leaving at once, she kept lurking on the premise to witness Autumn's despair. If the launch event turned out to be a failure, it was unlikely for anyone to cooperate with Autumn. To her astonishment, the launch event had turned around and was a complete triumph. What's more, Isla's humble words earned a good reputation for Cloud Advertising Company.

The more Paula thought about it, the angrier she felt. Today's scheme failed, but she would not give up on the pursuit of bringing Autumn down.

She glared at the stage as she was about to leave, when a group of policemen in uniforms blocked her way. Her instinctive reaction was to turn around and run. But a tall police officer lifted her up from the group easily almost like she was a child.

"You…" What are you doing?" Paula asked the policeman with a rather guilty expression all over her face, "Why did you stop me, Officer?"

"Well, for start, why don't you tell me why you were running away?" The policeman queried, "Is your name Paula Pan?"

"Yes, " answered Paula in low spirits. She realized she could not escape her fate of getting caught.

The policeman said with scorn as he noticed her expression, "It seems like you already know the reason why we are looking for you. Let's go. Please follow us to the police office."

Isla and Autumn saw Paula getting arrested as they walked out of the greenroom. Autumn sighed, "Why is she always competing against me? I mean what is it that she wants to prove so desperately?"

"Who knows?" Isla responded with a shrug, "Now it's hopefully over. She will bear the punishments of her ill motivated actions. I guess she will be sentenced to more than one year in prison for such a spiteful act."

"It's none of our business, " Autumn responded happily. The event ended up successfully with everyone lauding their efforts. Her mood was lifted and she simply did not care even when Paula shot her a glance with intense hatred.

"The event we planned has been successful. Why don't we head out and celebrate this happy moment?" Autumn advised Isla, "What about having hotpot?"
