Bought For A Baby, Kept For A Lifetime-Chapter 144: Framed?

Seeing the video Anne was playing, Rebecca couldn’t keep standing still anymore.

She wanted to reach forward and grab the phone out of Anne’s grasp then smash it to a billion pieces.

After everything she’d told the girls in the office about her boyfriend, no one should see him like this. All her lies about him would be exposed.

But then if she chose to do something rash like that, everyone would realize he truly was her boyfriend and she was trying to cover up.

She’d lied to Clara that she had just hired an ordinary hooligan to do the job but she hadn’t hired him at all, he’d volunteered to do it on his own and she had gladly accepted his services thinking he was capable, she never thought he’d be exposed in this manner, and the bastard hadn’t even given her a heads up at all this whole time to let her know that he’d sold her out.

That piece of shit! She was done with this relationship, she’d lowered herself and decided to follow her heart and be with him because she fell in love, but to hell with feelings if he couldn’t even protect her.

Rebecca changed her expression, laughing out loud instead.

"Just because some piece of trash says he’s my boyfriend, doesn’t mean it’s actually true. I don’t even know that man you’re showing on your phone. Why would I send people to stalk you? You’re not that important Anne."

Rebecca made sure to put a lot of confidence in her voice and her expression, she would make sure they wouldn’t see through her.

But Anne remained unfazed even after she denied knowing the man at all.

"Denying your own boyfriend, tsk tsk tsk, I wonder how hurt he would be to find out about what you just said. But no problem, maybe your denial will give him the freedom to admit everything to the police. We both know SE is very strict, not just in the character of their employees but morals as well, if you’re going to get me fired because of an accusation that has no concrete evidence other than the fact that I was seen walking into an office, I’ll make sure to take you down as well. SE surely won’t tolerate an employee who hires goons to stalk someone for selfish motives, it says a whole lot about your character too doesn’t it?"

Rebecca gritted her teeth in fury feeling more hatred for Anne than she could stomach at this moment.

It was all Anne’s fault everything was changing for her.

If Anne hadn’t come into the picture she would have still been close to Clara, and with Clara’s network of high people in society, Rebecca would have gotten to meet another guy, this one from a wealthy background, then she wouldn’t have fallen in love with a random hooligan in her loneliness.

Right now if the police got involved, Randy will definitely expose her to save his own skin, furthermore she would have a criminal record and it would ruin a huge portion of her life. Rebecca couldn’t take that risk.

She could no longer continue to verbally deny Anne’s allegations, instead she snatched the phone from Anne’s grip too quickly and stomped on it repeatedly. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Liar! I won’t let you frame me with your fake video!" Rebecca cried in rage as she continued to stomp on the device.

Anne folded her arms, her brown eyes showing a knowing light.

She had expected Rebecca to react like this, which was why she’d allowed the latter to snatch the phone from her hand, this very behavior was evident even more than words about who was guilty.

"Oh but I forgot to tell you one thing, this video of your dear boyfriend confessing his crimes was shot on my friend’s phone, I merely sent a copy of it to mine. Now my phone is destroyed, but not the original evidence. I still have the power to press charges against you and your boyfriend."

Rebecca went stiff, abruptly stopping her actions of destroying the phone.

Raising her gaze and seeing the shocked looks from the other staff she’d worked with for a long time, realization slammed into her like cold water, Rebecca realized she’d reacted too rashly in her fear.

She looked to Clara but the latter eyes were burning with a light of fury directed towards her.

Rebecca didn’t want to even step a foot in a police station not to mention being questioned for a possible crime, that had pushed her to try to destroy the evidence so quickly.

The other employees present didn’t like Anne, but with such an obvious show of who was the guilty party, they couldn’t even utter a single word.

It was as if the talk of Anne’s issue had been buried and overshadowed by what was currently going on.

While this was happening, no one noticed the woman currently standing within the public relations department watching the whole thing enfold with curious eyes.

This woman was wearing an all black attire looking like a powerful figure who brought fear and respect from anyone who sees her.

Stella Langton, one of the company’s board executives.

Stella recently bought some shares into SE from the previous investor who sold his shares to her due to personal problems. SE’s stocks were the hottest business shares anyone could ever acquire, so immediately a few percentage of shares became available, Stella luckily grabbed onto the chance to buy into them.

Today she was at SE for a formal introduction and tour around the company when she suddenly passed by the public relations department, hearing the little commotion happening, she had silenced her tour guide from making any noise to announce her presence while she watched the whole spat go down with keen interest.

She watched the brown haired girl who looked far more gentle from the quick witted manner with which she was handling the situation and Stella couldn’t help but feel interest welling up inside her.

The girl moved towards the frantic woman who thrashed her phone to get rid of some evidence just now and confidently looked her in the eye.

"This evidence can ruin your whole career Rebecca, you’ve worked so hard here at SE. Once the police questions your boyfriend and realize you’re involved, HR won’t give you a chance to remain in this company. But I can withhold this evidence, I won’t take it up with the police or HR..." She paused for a few seconds before adding, "If and only if..."

The brown haired girl turned, her gaze falling on a beautiful woman known as the manager of the entire department, who looked infuriated.

"...you tell me who put you up to causing a scandal here for me today. Who made you accuse me of something I didn’t do?"
