Phentar A Apoliage


    Chapter 57 Apology


    The police had and evidence Vivian had no way to argue back, even if she wanted to


    Mareaver the project the Carson Group was using right now was based on Casey''s design, which made it unders


    Several of her previous coboratory could n prove that the design had been submitted before


    Vivian crisi pitifully at the station, but I showed no emotion


    Jude, on the other hand, was like a cat on a hot tin roof. He even contacted Garsofroup''s legal team, insisting on freeg Vivian out


    After ending the call, he red at me viciously "Ada, how can you be so cruci?"


    "Not as cruel as your little lover stealing trade secrets" I rolled my eyes at him and grabbed Casey, who was about to fash out again


    She was huning, and arguing with Jude in a police station wouldn''t help anything


    Jude rubbed his temples and didn''t even try to deny it. It looked like even he believed Vivian was capable of doing


    I couldn''t figure out his logic. He had been in this industry long enough to know the boundanes. Yet he let Vivian do something like this.


    Hlowered my gaze and ignored his anger. In the end, the police stepped in.


    "Mister, your assistant clearly stolemercial secrets. I suggest you stop threatening the victim here the officer sac He looked at me and sighed. "Especially when the victim is your wife."


    It seemed like we were regrs at the station, and the whole police department knew what was going on between me at Jude


    The mistress stole the original wife''s best friend''s design. No matter how one looked at it, this wasn''t just a business esse, it reeked of personal drama.


    I looked at Jude with a nk expression. "Casey is the real victim here. These were her designs. They never belonged to herpany. You''d better convince Vivian to confess. A lighter sentence is better than a long one?


    If she was convicted, she was definitely looking at jail time. This wasn''t exactly a huge case, since it involved some Scrapped designs,


    But it wasn''t small either. Based on market value, stealing designs worth hundreds of thousands of dors could easynd Vivian in prison for a few years,


    When Jude''swyer arrived, he was visibly awkward when he saw me, but still followed Jude to talk to the police


    I didn''t know what they discussed, but the police came back suggesting we consider a settlement.


    As soon as we entered the interrogation room, Vivian broke down in tears, but still looked at me with resentment


    She said, "I didn''t know anything about this. I don''t know why someone''s trying to frame me. Billy told me those designs were his. I only purchased some designs for thepany."


    She added, "Jude, she''s jealous of how close we are and is trying to set me up. Please don''t believe her


    Vivian was ying it smart. She focused entirely on me and the supposed emotional conflict,pletely dodging the design theft issue.


    And she painted herself as someone doing it all for thepany. How touching.


    A poor woman sacrificing everything for love, getting framed by the ex-wife. It was truly tragic.


    I said, "We''ve also filed charges against Billy. Let''s see what he has to say. Anyway, we''ve got the evidence"


    I cut her off mid-sob. "The police''s tech department isn''t just sitting around doing nothing. That video should be able to read lips, right? If you''re so sure I''m framing you, go ahead and sue me. Spare us the drama."


    I was tired of her fake innocence and dragged Casey out of the room.


    Since she didn''t want to settle it peacefully, we weren''t going to waste time either. Billy had already exined everything in detail.


    Not only did he confess that Vivian had instructed everything, but he had also taken precautions. He recorded every meeting with her. Now they didn''t even need to read lips.


    Faced with overwhelming evidence, Vivian had no way to argue and could only beg Jude.


    When Jude came over to talk to me and Casey, he clearly wasn''t happy, but he still tried to hold it together for his little lover


    He said, "Ada, Casey, can we talk?"


    "You okay, Ada?" Dorian somehow found out what happened and rushed over, immediately stepping in front of Jude


    Chapter 57 Apology


    "What? Carson Group''s CEO still thinks he can throw his weight around at the police station?" Jude clenched his fists, but in the end, let go.


    His eyes fell on me again. "No one benefits from making a big deal out of this. If Casey sues Carson Group, her career will


    be over."


    "Jude, are you admitting you told Vivian to do all of this?" My voice was sharp, and I was trembling. If it was really him, I wasn''t just going to divorce. I''d destroy him.


    Jude met my eyes without the slightest guilt. He looked at me like I was an idiot. "ou think that''s even possible?" His reaction, oddly enough, calmed me down. If our marriage ended with all-out war, I would be devastated.


    He softened his tone, speaking quietly. "But the project design was used by the Carson Group. I''ll take responsibility. I''ll apologize to Casey."


    I said, "And how exactly will you take responsibility? Casey has already lost her job and her designs. You think an apology is enough?"


    Jude had always been good at apologizing. Back in college, he wrote me tons of apology letters. Saying sorry was second nature to him.


    He took a deep breath and reluctantly looked at Casey. "We''ll pay for the project design based on market value, plus 10%pensation."


    Casey didn''t react. Neither did I. It was way too easy to let Vivian off like this.


    Seeing we weren''t budging, Jude finally clenched his teeth and said, "Casey cane to Carson Group. She''ll be in charge of the entire Design Department Three."
