Chapter 63 Carefree


    Ellen''s voice on the phone was practically breaking. "Ada, where are you? Can youe to the police station?"


    She continued, "Ms. Olsen has been taken away by the police. They say she''s a major suspect, reported by her previous


    "A lot of people saw it happen. What do we do? Everyone''s saying she''s going to be fired."


    I was shocked. Despite feeling dizzy and weak, I stumbled into a taxi.


    By the time I got to the police station, I felt a little better, though my head was still heavy and spinning.


    Dorian spotted me right away and came over to support me. "You went to the hospital?"


    I nodded, not hiding anything.


    Dorian casually picked a strand of hair off my shoulder. I knew I was losing hair again. I couldn''t hide it for long.


    Dorian threw the strand into a nearby trash can and helped me sit down.


    He said, "Don''t worry. Casey will be fine. Her oldpany is stirring things up, but they don''t have enough evidence."


    I asked, "It''s about that bidding project, right?"


    I had a guess, and when I saw Dorian nod, I finally let out a breath.


    Back when Casey left, I had made sure her previouspany issued a statement clearing her of responsibility, signed and stamped by upper management.


    When we saw Casey''s former boss and his brother-inw, both looked furious.


    "It''s all because she resigned! That''s why the project couldn''t move forward, and now there''s been a major ident!"


    "The project design has issues now. Thepensation will be in hundreds of thousands of dors. Of course she should be responsible!"


    They sounded so righteous, I couldn''t help butugh.


    Seeing me sitting nearby, the boss scowled. "This is a country ruled byw. Casey has to pay! If she doesn''t pay, she''ll go to jail. Either way, she has to be held ountable."


    Casey was still inside being questioned. I stood up and pulled out the document I had brought.


    I had kept it in my bag this whole time. With everything that had happened, I''d forgotten to hand it over.


    I said, "Casey was terminated, not resigned. She went throughbor arbitration and waspensated ording to the N+ 1 policy. Thebor bureau has records of this."


    I added, “And here''s a statement signed by her manager. It confirms that from the day she left, she no longer had any responsibility forpany projects and wasn''t authorized to receive any further payments."


    Just as I was about to hand the document to the police, the two men suddenly lunged at me, trying to snatch it away.


    I instinctively turned away, but still got shoved hard.


    Already dizzy, I stumbled forward and was about to fall.


    Luckily, Dorian reacted quickly and caught me. The police restrained the two men.


    "Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?" he asked, clearly worried.


    I shook my head. I couldn''t leave, not until this was resolved.


    Dorian said, "The side effects from chemo are too much. Maybe you should..."


    "What are you doing?" Jude''s angry voice cut through, and Dorian didn''t let go of


    me.


    I leaned weakly against him. I really couldn''t stand on my own.


    "Ada!" Jude strode over, but Vivian grabbed his arm.


    She said, "Jude, this is the police station. Don''t get mad."


    She looked at me with a knowing smile. "Mr. Huxley, you''re really nice to Ada. Holding her like that? Don''t you care about your image?"


    Dorian ignored herpletely and focused only on me. "Can you still hold on?"


    I nodded.


    Jude seemed to notice something was off with me and pulled a candy from his pocket.


    He said, "You should always carry sweets if you''re hypoglycemic."


    Dorian was about to stop him, but I quickly took the candy and unwrapped it, popping it into my mouth.

    It would be better if they all just thought I was hypoglycemic.


    I saw Jude smile slightly, and his mood seemed to lift.


    When the Carson Group''swyer arrived, Dorian''swyer came too. Jude, frowned at us.


    He said, "Casey is a Carson Group employee. Of course we''ll use our ownwyer."


    Dorian retorted, "Then why didn''t youe the moment she got into trouble? I saw you in the office earlier with your little girlfriend, heading upstairs."


    Dorian nced at them with disdain, then looked back at me.


    No wonder he was at the police station. He must havee straight from the office.


    Jude turned to me. "Ada, you''re her friend. You decide."


    He looked as if I didn''t choose theirwyer, he''d flip out. I looked at the Carson Groupwyer, then nodded.


    I said, "Let Mr. Calderon handle it. He has more experience."


    I wasn''t trying to insult anyone, but Vivian immediately blew up. "What do you mean by that?"


    I rolled my eyes, not bothering to answer.


    However, she wouldn''t let it go. "Ada, you''re always causing trouble for thepany!"


    She added, "Your friend just got here and is already in police trouble. How do you still have the nerve to stay?"


    "You smashed a bracelet worth over three million dors and didn''t pay. You leaked trade secrets and cost thepany 60, thousand dors, and you still didn''t leave. So why should I?" I shot back without hesitation.


    Watching her fume till her face turned bright red with fury, I didn''t feel dizzy anymore.
