A sense of unease rose in Prisci’s heart, and she hurried into
the office.
The work area instantly became noisy.
“I really didn’t expect Ms. Wilburn to be that kind of person.”
“Did she really do it?”
“If it wasn’t her, would the police be here?”
“How could this happen?”
“What did you say?”
“The form was leaked?”
“Impossible.”
Prisci’s face turned pale, and she felt the blood in her body run cold.
Early this morning, a rivalpany suddenly released theirtest perfume, and the form was almost identical to the Holiday Series fragrance that the Carlton Group was about tounch.
The Carlton Group immediately called the police, and in the end, Prisci became the prime suspect for leaking the form.
“It wasn’t me. I’ve been in theb these past two days, I

haven’t even left,” Prisci exined.
“There’s surveince footage from theb to prove it.”

At that moment, the office door was pushed open with a loud click.
Larissa hurried in, her voice unusually loud.
“Prisci, I heard you sold the perfume form to our rivalpany?”
“I know you don’t like me, but you can’t do something like this just to get back at me.”
“What about Wes?”
With just a few words, Larissa had already given Prisci a motive and pronounced her guilty.
And since the office door was open, everyone outside could hear everything clearly.
Prisci shot her a cold nce. “Do you have any proof?”
Larissa shrank her shoulders, taking a frightened step back.
“I’m sorry, Prisci, I didn’t mean to say that, I was just
anxious,”
She put on a perfect act of being afraid.
Prisci had no time for her theatrics. She only said to Wesley,
“I told <i>you</i>, I didn’t do it.”
Wesley walked over and took her trembling fingers in his. “The police will find out the truth.”

“You don’t believe me?”

Of course, if he believed her, he wouldn’t have brought the police with him.
She recalled the words he said at Baritel that day, asking for another chance.
If there wasn’t even trust, what was the point of talking about marriage?
“Wesley, do you trust me?” She straightened up, her
expression calm, and looked into his eyes as she asked again.
Wesley felt the coldness in his palm and said softly, “Go to the police station and give your statement. I’lle pick you up after my meeting.”
He didn’t answer her question.
The light in Prisci’s eyes slowly faded.
She shook off his hand. “Don’t trouble yourself, Mr. Carlton.”
She followed the police out.
The strange looks from outside almost drowned her, but she straightened her back.
At the police station, the officers questioned her repeatedly.
Prisci kept repeating everything she had done, over and over again.
But as it happened, the surveince in theb was broken.

Moreover, the police found a deposit of five million in her
bank ount.
The money had been transferred from an overseas ount, with no way to trace its origin.
Someone had gone to great lengths to set up this wless trap, determined to destroy her.
Prisci’s confidence gradually crumbled under the relentless questioning.
She dug her nails into her palm, forcing herself to stay calm.
After a whole night, she waspletely numb.
All hope in her heart had vanished.
She didn’t know how many more hours had passed when the police asked her to sign.
She was released on bail, but she couldn’t leave Aetherton for the time being and had to be avable at any time.
After signing, she saw her husband.
“Prisci, I’m here to take you home.” His voice was gentle.
Prisci walked toward him, step by step.
She looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
Wesley’s heart trembled.
“Prisci.”

Prisci stopped in front of Wesley, her voice exceptionally calm. “Did Larissa be R&D director again?”
Wesley froze.
“Let me exin.”
“No need, Wesley. There’s no need to exin.”
Prisci curled her lips in self–mockery. “You really went to great lengths to help her solve her problem.”
She asked only to make herself give uppletely.
Wesley gripped Prisci’s wrist tightly, almost forcing her into the car.
“You’re mistaken. This has nothing to do with me, or with Larissa.”
It was nothing but a dirty business war.
“Let’s go home first.”
Tears welled up in the corners of Prisci’s eyes.
“That’s not my home.”
It was a ce she had always wanted to escape from.
In the end, the tears still fell.
How cruel it was.
As soon as she entered the police station, he couldn’t wait to let Larissa take that position again.
It was tantamount to publicly dering that she was the one
