Chapter 21
Rosalynn spoke up, revealing Trevor mom’s account at Unity Bank and bringing Mr. Frever from Visionary Group to the forefront. She pointed it out clearly and didn’t show any intention to go back– and–forth with Trevor at all, which caught him off guard.
Trevor had been feeling uneasy all afternoon. He sensed that blaming Rosalynn wasn’t going to work anymore. But he was confident that he had covered his tracks so well that Rosalynn could only be suspicious at best.
But without evidence, what was the point of suspicion? Trevor had already prepared to bring Rosalynn in.
“Trevor, it’s you?” Douglas looked at Trevor in disbelief after some reaction.
Trevor was someone he had nurtured and kept by his side all along.
After the data tampering incident, Douglas had suspected everyone except Trevor. Now that he thought about it, wasn’t it Trevor who went to get the data from the President’s office in the first place?
“Boss, it wasn’t me!” Trevor immediately denied, then pointed at Rosalynn angrily, “It was your mistake, but now you’re trying to frame me!”
“We both know if it’s a frame–up or not.”
“Secretary Tesdal, I know this has caused you a great deal of injustice. Give me some time, and I will give you an explanation!” Douglas stepped forward.
Although he had only worked with Secretary Tesdal for a short time, the shrewd Douglas knew Rosalynn was cautious and wouldn’t accuse Trevor directly without solid evidence.
Trevor was still under 30, and Douglas couldn’t help but want to save him out of helplessness. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“I’m sorry…” Rosalynn shook her head.
At that moment, there was commotion outside the sales department. Douglas didn’t have a chance to continue persuading Rosalynn.
The department’s glass door was pushed open, and police officers came in one after
_another.
“You called the police?” Trevor raised his voice in anger and fear, “Rosalynn, are you really that ruthless?”
“Are you Trevor?” The lead officer showed his credentials, “We have a case of unfair competition and bribery that needs your cooperation in our investigation.”
“Boss! Boss, save me!”

Trevor was terrified, grabbing Douglas’s arm.
The police were already here.
Douglas knew there was no turning back. He slapped Trevor in anger, “With your high salary and commissions, why the hell did you do this?!”
Trevor covered his slapped face; fear and anger in his eyes, which were red and hideous. “Why? You have the nerve to ask why? If it weren’t for you keeping me in the position as your assistant, I’d be climbing up the ranks by now! I have a family to support, and my three kids want to go abroad to good schools! I need money!”
Rosalynn exchanged a few words with the police officer in charge.
She then prepared to return to the President’s office to hand in the pre–written incident
report.
Meanwhile, the police took out handcuffs to put on Trevor.
Rosalynn also walked near the door.
But just then, Trevor suddenly burst like a mad dog, shoving the officer beside him. He grabbed Alexis’s Sales Champion trophy and smashed it towards Rosalynn’s head.
“Oh my God!”
“Secretary Tesdal!!” Cries of shock filled the room.
Rosalynn felt something flying towards her from behind and instinctively crouched down.
With a loud “bang” sound, the glass door shattered. The material of the glass door was supposed to prevent any shards from flying out when broken.
But Rosalynn seemed to have bad luck. This glass door had already been damaged awhile back. The sales department had been too preoccupied with the Prodigy Inc. project to get it fixed in time.
When the glass shattered, the whole piece detached from the door frame and smashed directly onto Rosalynn.
“Secretary Tesdal!”
Everyone cried out in shock, rushing to help her.
