Ada’s revelation was a huge blow to Rita. In an instant, she could no longer hear anything else. All that was left was Ada’s evil smile before her.
It took her a long time to find her voice. “What did you say?”
“You heard me, didn’t you?” Ada said with ridicule.
Rita clenched her fists in anger. It turned out to be Liam!
When she was working on the designs, Liam had asked her out several times. He always expressed that he was forced to be Ada, whom he did not love in the least.
Rita struggled, but her pride stopped her from being his mistress. Hence, she ended up rejecting his advances.
However, she always had her laptop with her when she ate with him, and she would never be on guard. Consequently, she could not remember if he had a chance to steal her designs.
At this moment, the disgust she felt made her retch. She realized in shock that she had fallen in love with such a cunning and unscrupulous man.
“You’re just as disgusting as Liam. You guys are a match made in heaven!”
However, Ada did not feel guilty at all. “You’re a fool. Who else can you blame but yourself?”
Then, she left smugly.
Rita returned to the exhibition hall ten minutes later. Guilt overwhelmed her again when she saw Silvia and Blanche. They were standing in front of a piece of clothing and chatting happily.
Gradually, she walked over with her head down and said, “I have something to tell you, Miss Pond.”
“What is it?”
“I’m sorry. I’m the one who accidentally leaked the designs.”
Silvia’s smile vanished, and she became extremely serious.
“What happened?”
Rita then explained why she had met up with Liam. Gritting her teeth, she said, “He must have stolen my designs when I went to the washroom. I’m sorry, Miss Pond. I trusted him too much and assumed that he wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“Okay. Our company’s about to sue Perficient, so we can include your case. But you’d better be mentally prepared for the possibility that Liam won’t be punished.”
Rita had a cold look on her face. “I know. That isn’t my goal either.”
She just wanted everyone to see Liam’s true colors. Then, he would know how it felt to have everyone talk about him behind his back.
“Okay. Let’s leave this to the company’s Legal Affairs Department. Don’t worry about it. Just keep designing.”
Finally, Rita smiled. “Thank you, Miss Pond.”
“Thank me by making more designs.”
A chuckle escaped her lips. She nodded and said, “No problem, Miss Pond. I’ll give my all for MY Corporation.”
“Alright. Go ahead and enjoy the exhibition.”
