Love’s Harsh Reality Novel

Chapter 17

Cindy quickly saw through Eliza’s schemes. In front of Derick, she might need to keep her composure, but Cindy didn’t need to do so.

“If you still can’t tell what’s real even with the evidence right in front of you, I’d say this company is bound to go bankrupt within three days.” Cindy’s words cut deep.

The Jones Corporation won’t go bankrupt Eliza clung to Derick’s arm, puzzled as to how Scarlett had managed to gather the evidence to clear her name.

However, it didn’t matter anymore. She had already leaked the news online about Scarlett stealing the company’s new product documents. She was determined to ruin Scarlett. Some secrets, after all, could never reach Scarlett. Derick belonged to her. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Scarlett glanced at Derick’s handsome face and spoke in a cold tone, “Mr. Jones, am I finallyclear now?

Before Derick could say anything, Ondy’s fury erupted. “Mr. Jones, your actions have gone too far. Our boss didn’t do anything wrong, yet you’ve already exposed her to the public. If that’s how you want to play, don’t blame us for what comes next”

Derick drowned in confusion. He didn’t know who leaked it online so quickly.

Eliza’s eyes gleamed with malice. She wanted to see just how long Ivan could keep protecting Scarlett.

Scarlett picked up her phone and read the headline, “Scarlett of Jones Corporation Steals Company’s New Product Documents“. The comments underneath were filled with vicious insults. They were so vile, she could hardly bear to read them.

Scarlett’s eyes turned cold. She looked at Derick coldly. She couldn’t help but wonder why he wouldn’t let her go even after she had left. Her heart ached so much that she found it hard to breathe

“Derick, you really won’t stop until I’m dead, will you?” She smiled bitterly and wondered what she did to deserve this.

Even after the divorce, he was still determined to crush her.

Derick looked into her cold, lifeless eyes and an unsettling rage stirred within him. Scarlett had shut her heat and was determined to cut him out of her life completely. He knew ber too well

A sudden wave of panic surged through him. However, the thoughts of her betrayal made his heart harden once again. He could never forgive her for Alan’s death.

“Cin, post everything Melanie did online. If Jones Corporation wants to frame me, then I will fight them to the end.” Scarlett turned and walked away.

Cindy sent the video to Lam for him to handle

Cindy shot a scornful glance at Derick and sneered “Mr. Jones, your brain must be as dry as the desert, there’s not a drop of wisdom in sight. I’m really wondering how you managed to build your empire into what it is today.”

Scarlett must’ve had a big hand in that

Derick’s back tensed as he clenched his fists. His dark eyes gleamed with a violent, destructive fury.

Cindy smirked and turned to follow Scarlett out.

Derick’s cold, calculating gaze fell on Melanie “Melanie, that video is real. You should head to the police,” Melanie’s face went pale. However, she thought of her family and whispered, “I’m sorry, Mr. Jones” Then she went to turn herself in

Eliza’s smile faded. The perfect trap she had set for Scarlett had been ruined. What should she do now?

Il Derick were to investigate further, he would definitely trace everything back to her.

Eliza looked at Derick with concern. “Derick, without the new product, what will happens to the company? Will it affect the company? You’ve been working on this plan for over six

months.

Derick’s tace displayed a smile that was cold and inscrutable with a hidden menace. He was always proud and capable. “Getting my new product won’t be so easy. And whoever tries will have to pay the price.”

Achill spread through Eliza. What should she do now?

Derick watched Scarlett walk away. Her genile demeanor was replaced by an icy, unreachable distance.

As Scarlett was about to get into the car, Evan suddenly appeared and blocked her way
