Chapter 268
“I didn’t do it.” Riley couldn’t figure out why Victor would know about this so soon.
She did not see it coming!
“I will send you to prison immediately if you don’t admit it now.” Victor’s face was grim and his gaze
was cold. Riley was terrified by the cold aura that he exuded.

Her whole body was trembling slightly.
Eden stood at the side and said nothing. The surveillance footage could only prove that Riley stole
her designs. They needed to have other evidence if they wanted to prevent the Jotham Alwynn
Group from publishing the new products.
She glanced at the time before she looked at Victor and said, “Let’s stop the Jotham Alwynn Group
from releasing the new products at their conference first before we find other evidence!”
Victor nodded and comforted her, “Eden, don’t worry. Anson has already headed there.”
“Alright!” Eden nodded. She still stood at the same spot with a calm expression on her face.
Lucian said calmly, “Victor, call the police!”
After that, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Riley.
Riley was shocked and she clenched her fists tightly. Her sharp fingernails dug into her palms and
streaks of blood oozed out. However, she did not feel the pain at all.
She shook her head at Lucian and pleaded, “No, Secretary Ronen. Please don’t call the police…”
Victor looked at her coldly with a terrifying expression on his face. “I won’t send you to prison if you
tell the truth. You will be sent to prison in ten minutes if you do not do so.”
Riley covered her face and sobbed. She hated Eden. At the same time, Rebecca from the Jotham
Alwynn Group found her and gave her a large sum of money, asking her to steal the Alwynn
Group’s autumn product designs.
She was moved by the offer when she saw the one million dollars.
She initially thought that Victor would not believe Eden since she just entered the company.
However, she was wrong. Victor trusted Eden a lot but that did not match his character. What
actually went wrong?
Lucian said, “We are almost out of time.”
Eden also said indifferently, “Riley, it’s either you lose your job or you goto prison. You can think
about it before you make a decision.” “I…” Riley did not expect that her deeds would be discovered.
She had never thought of what she should do if such a situation happened.
Riley grabbed Eden’s hand immediately and begged as she cried, “Director Bleu, I am wrong.
Please forgive me once again! I really did this on impulse…”
“Did it on impulse?” Eden laughed coldly and interrupted her. She looked coldly and said in a cold
and mocking tone, “Riley, it’s not about whether I should forgive you or not at the moment. I stayed
up late to draw the designs. I have to raise my children and I have to accompany them every night. I
only have time to draw the designs after they are asleep. Every single design was drawn by me at
night.
What should the Alwynn Group do about it now that you’ve given the designs to the Jotham Alwynn
Group?”
Victor’s heart ached for Eden when he heard that!
Lucian frowned! Eden actually worked so hard. He instantly felt a little…
“You are married and you have children?” Riley looked at Eden in disbelief.
“What do you mean by that?” Eden narrowed her eyes and looked at Riley. She felt something was
wrong when she heard that.
Riley regretted her actions instantly. She thought that Victor was interested in Eden because he
treated her very well. She accepted Rebecca’s offer because she was jealous of Eden.
Moreover, Eden had just entered the company and she was the only one who had the design drafts.
Riley thought that Victor would not forgive Eden if the design drafts were leaked but the matter at
hand had really exceeded her expectations.
“Director Bleu, I… I really didn’t do it on purpose.”
“You didn’t do it on purpose? You shouldn’t have indulged in your emotions to do bad things when
you don’t have the ability to clean up the mess. Life is full of hardships. There are many people who
make things difficult for me. Who do you think you are? Why should I forgive you?
Tell me your deal with the Jotham Alwynn Group immediately or I will pursue this matter to the end.”
Eden’s attitude was tough. She realized that Riley wanted to frame her for betraying the Alwynn
Group.
Riley had a strong sense of pride. However, one shouldn’t be too proud of himself without any basis
because he would end up in badly!
As for Riley, she liked to poke on other people’s scars.
Designing was Eden’s job and life!
Victor had never seen Eden being so dominant before. There was actually a kind and fragile heart
under her tough personality. Eden had really suffered a lot over the years!
“Lucian, call the police. Director Bleu and I will go to Jotham Alwynn Group first.” Victor spoke in a
cold tone and was about to leave.
When Riley heard that, she cried and quickly said, “Mr. Alwynn, no. Please, I beg you, I will tell you
everything.”
Victor hinted at Lucian to record her confession.
Lucian took out a digital voice recorder and looked at Riley coldly. “You can start speaking.”
Riley bit her lip hard and said slowly, “Rebecca from the Jotham Alwynn Group gave me one million
dollars to steal our company’s autumn designs. I took advantage of the time when Director Bleu
went to the restroom and copied her designs in my flash drive.
I gave the flash drive to Rebecca last night. Rebecca was very satisfied with Director Bleu’s
designs, so she decided to hold a press conference this morning. That’s the truth.”
When Riley finished speaking, she looked at Eden again and begged, “Director Bleu, can you
forgive me this time? Please be generous and forgive me this time.
I have to take care of my sick mother. I was really tempted by the one million dollars and I acted
foolishly…”
Eden quickly interrupted her and said coldly, “Acted foolishly? You are an adult. You have to take
responsibility for your actions no matter what you do.
Some things cannot be forgiven and generosity has nothing to do with it. Everybody has their own
limit. You should pay the price for your actions when you did something wrong.”
Eden was furious. There were so many scumbags in the world that was impossible to guard
against!
She looked at Victor and Lucian and said, “Mr. Alwynn, Secretary Ronen, let’s go to the Jotham
Alwynn Group now. We have to stop them no matter how.”
“Okay!” Victor nodded.
After that, he looked at Riley. He still had a cold expression on his face when he said, “You will go
with us and confront the matter face to face. When this is over, you will leave the company and I will
not further pursue this matter. However, if you dare to play any tricks, I will let you die a miserable
death. You should think about your sick mother!”
Riley nodded her head continuously when she heard that. She would rather offend Rebecca than to
offend Victor.
Victor was the only person who could make the Gerard family go bankrupt overnight.
