Chapter 109 No Evidence
Shocked, Rachel looked at Bradly, who shook his phone in front of her eyes.
"I've already made an appointment with Cheryl's agent, and I will be going over to their studio in the afternoon to discuss about the necklace design," Bradly said.
His words felt like a lightning that struck Rachel on her head.She collapsed to the floor with a pale face.
"Now that things have come to this point, I really suggest that you don't continue lying to me, Rachel.It's just us three here, and Mr.Stewart might help you out if you tell us the truth.Perhaps, you won't be too severely punished," Eliana said in a soft voice.
"Really?"
With tears in her eyes, Rachel looked at Bradly expectantly.
Looking at her with a smile, he nodded in reply.
Gritting her teeth, Rachel had no choice but to confess, "It's true.I was the one who stole Eliana’s design and sold it to Cheryl."
The moment Bradly heard that, his face turned cold again.
Seeing that, Rachel hurriedly passed the buck and continued, "As soon as Eliana joined the company, she was favored by Mr.Moran, who instigated her as the sole designer of the pink diamond project.And you have also been always partial to Eliana, Mr.Stewart.You never acknowledged my hard work."
Uttering those words made Rachel feel more miserable and she could not help bursting into tears.
"I was...I was really jealous of her.I stole her design to pull her down to the same level as me, so that we could have a fair competition.I didn't expect that Nicole would be so angry and come to the company to make trouble..."
All of a sudden, a loud slap landed across Rachel's face.It was from Eliana.
She then said in a cold voice, "Nicole should have slapped you.And I am just passing the torch."
Rachel covered her face and glared at Eliana.She looked terrible and her eyes were red.
Although she was about to explode with anger, she knew that she had to restrain herself if she wanted to continue working in the company.
Trembling, she held Eliana’s hand and pleaded miserably, "Eliana, I'm so sorry.I was wrong.Please don't tell Mr.Moran about this, okay? He will certainly fire me, or worse, ban me from working in the industry, like he did to Gabrielle! I...will give you the money that Cheryl gave me for the design, okay? Can you please let this go?"
Bradly sighed and shook his head with disappointment.
"I didn't expect you to be the one to..."
Rachel froze and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
What did he mean by that? Didn't they have the evidence to accuse her? She immediately blurted out, "Were you fooling me? You don't have any evidence, do you?"
"We didn't have evidence before, but now we do," Eliana replied calmly.
She then took out her phone from her pocket, which had recorded Rachel's confession.
Rachel became furious at once and pounced on Eliana.
"How dare you!" Eliana dodged her attack swiftly.
However, Rachel had lunged at her so fast that she slipped and fell to the floor.She began to scream in pain.
But Eliana and Bradly were not moved at all.
After all, it was Rachel's fault.
Eliana said, "You still have a chance.You can take the initiative and confess to Mr.Moran."
Rachel retorted, "That's not possible!"
"Then I have no choice but to confess to him on your behalf.But you have to think it over, because there's a huge difference between turning yourself in and being reported by someone else."
"No matter who confesses, Mr.Moran won't show mercy."
Even after hearing that, Rachel shook her head.Now she had no choice but to face the fact that she had been avoiding until now.
"He will only be merciful to you..."
"Forget it," Eliana said.
She then walked out of the room with Bradly.
The room fell silent immediately.
Rachel was lying on the floor weakly.It was all messed up.She was doomed now.She felt desperate.
From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the floor and saw a faint glimmer of light.She turned around and found that it was a paper knife. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
The blade was reflecting the light sharply and coldly.
