Chapter 10
Willow had heard that Nolan and Maisie had come to the raw material warehouse, as well as that Director Chester had gotten summoned. Thus, she had hurried over in fear that something would be unveiled.
She suppressed the panic in her heart and asked as if she did not know anything about the matter, “What happened? Nolan, why are you here?”
‘D*mn it. This b*tch has come back here just to make my life difficult, huh? She even found her way into the raw material warehouse!
‘Back then, I did order them to acquire a batch of adulterated rough diamonds in order to save a significant amount of money. But I didn’t expect that this b*tch would deliberately bring up this issue as soon as she’s back!’
Nolan looked at her and asked indifferently, “What’s the matter with these adulterated ores?”
Willow could not help but clench her fist, but she still acted as if she was innocent. “I’m not sure. You should know that I don’t know anything about rough diamonds and gemstones. The acquisition of rough diamonds does go through my approval over the years, but I’ve always thought that they were the same as those that came in before.”
Her ignorance when it came to rough diamonds turned out to be beneficial to her.
Maisie chuckled. “Father is so magnanimous. He actually handed over the company to someone who doesn’t know anything about jewelry. He is just not afraid that the company would really go bankrupt, huh?”
“I… I really don’t know about it.” Willow had run out of ideas, so all she could do was stare at Nolan. “Nolan, you have to believe me.”
‘Maisie, you b*tch, I’ll chase her away sooner or later!
It was not that Nolan did not believe in Maisie’s suspicion. It was just that Willow had always been by his side these years. Even though she knew nothing about the fashion and jewelry industry, she was asking and learning from him all this while. He knew that Willow did not look like a pretender.
He shifted his gaze onto Director Chester. “You’ve been fired.”
Director Chester was stupefied, but he accepted that the other party was someone he could not afford to cross.
Willow bit her lip as she witnessed Director Chester being fired. It was fortunate that Nolan trusted her.
Nolan turned his head and said to Maisie, “You’ll be in charge of the acquisition of rough diamonds and other raw materials from now on.”
He then left the raw material warehouse after saying so.
While Maisie was walking back to her office, Willow caught up to her, stretched out her hand, and grabbed her. “Maisie Vanderbilt, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
Maisie turned around, glanced at her, and asked amusedly, “What did I do on purpose?”
“You… Did you approach Nolan on purpose? You even led him to the raw material warehouse, did you? Heh, do you think that Nolan would believe you?”
A hint of complacency flashed across Willow’s eyes. “You’ve seen it yourself. I’m the one that Nolan trusts, so don’t even bother to think about plotting against me anymore.”
“Oh, are you saying that I brought him to the raw material warehouse in order to sow discord between the two of you and told him that the rough diamonds were adulterated to make him suspicious of you?”
Seeing Willow’s upset expression, Maisie scoffed with her arms crossed in front of her. “What makes you think that I have the time to care about the relationship between the two of you? He’s the one who wanted to follow me to the raw material warehouse. Does that have something to do with me too?”
“Maisie, don’t you ever think that I’ll believe anything that comes out of you.”
“If you don’t believe it, then just don’t. Why bother to blabber all these to me?”
Maisie was really annoyed and added, “I’m not done with you when it comes to the batch of adulterated rough diamonds. If it weren’t for the fact that my mother founded Vaenna Jewelry and I could not bear to expose the matter, I couldn’t care less about the number of cushions that you have behind you.”
Nolan could indeed cover the sky, but Maisie was not a pushover that some random person could stop.
She was about to leave when Willow grasped her again. “Maisie Vanderbilt, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re back. Don’t you forget that your video is—”
Maisie could not bear it anymore, so she turned around and snatched her mobile phone.
“What are you doing?” Willow wanted to grab it back, but Maisie evaded her.
Looking at Willow’s fearful expression, Maisie smiled. “You’ve always loved to threaten me with that video, haven’t you?”
She walked to one of the windows of the corridor, stretched her hand out of the window, and let go of the cell phone all of a sudden.
Willow watched as her cell phone dropped from the 19th floor. It could only end up shattering into millions of pieces. “You!”
