Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 325

Giselle quickly answered.

"One of the technicians went in to clean up when he realized that the plugs were wrongly installed and the machine was broken. When we checked the surveillance, the machine was working fine two days ago. Yesterday, only Jennifer and Alicia entered the lab. Miss Blanchard was the last person to enter. She's a newcomer, whereas Jennifer is an experienced employee. She's familiar with the machine, so it's impossible for her to commit such a rookie mistake..."

Giselle's voice gradually lowered as she wasn't sure who was the one who caused the machine to malfunction.

Alicia was unconvinced by her words.

"Why did you only tell half of the story? We both went in yesterday and realized that the machine was broken. The surveillance footage shows only the two of us went in. I've clarified that I only went in to retrieve some documents and never touched the machine. I'm not sure whether Jennifer did or not. However, since both of us did enter the lab, I've accepted the fact that we should write a report as both of us are suspects. However, when I arrived at the office today, Jennifer pushed the blame on me and told everyone that I've caused the malfunction. Now, the whole office is saying that I'm the culprit and they are forcing me to admit my mistake! I didn't want to, so I asked her to apologize and clear my name! Although I'm a newcomer, it doesn't mean that I'm the one at fault. I will not take the blame for this. Without solid evidence, don't think of slandering me!"

As soon as Alicia finished her words, Frederick turned to look at Giselle. Giselle's expression was thunderous as she glared at Alicia. She gritted her teeth and growled at her.

"Don't you know the rules? You don't have the right to speak here."

How dare she talk nonsense in front of the CEO?

"Is what she said true?"

Upon hearing Frederick's words, Giselle was stunned and said, "Almost..." "Almost?"

He stared at Giselle and she shivered in fear, "Yes!"

It was a taboo here to respond in a vague manner.

After understanding the situation, Frederick came up with a suggestion.

"Since the responsibility lies between the two of you, there are two methods. One, whoever takes the initiative to admit the mistake, will not be held accountable nor punished. You can also provide evidence to prove your innocence. Two, Jennifer will write a statement to apologize to Alicia and clear her name. Then, both of you will take the responsibility together and be deducted one month's salary! Of course, if you don't accept this, there's a third option. We'll investigate this matter. Whoever is responsible for this will be fired. If there was no way to determine who's at fault, both of you will resign together!"

No one would choose the first option. Frederick preferred the second option. Although it was fair, he was slightly partial to Alicia. After all, if Jennifer wrote an apology, she would be admitting that she was slandering Alicia. The third option was simply him putting pressure on everyone!

Although the work environment in Soaver International was high-pressured, the benefits were extremely tempting. Jennifer had her worries, but Alicia was the opposite.

Obviously, apart from the second option, Jennifer had no other choice. Alicia understood that the best choice was to choose the second option. However, when she thought of how she would have to take the blame with someone that she hated, she was unwilling to do so.

However, who could she blame for such a thing to happen to her?

She was still in a dilemma when Jennifer spoke up.

"President, I choose the third option! I'm an experienced employee, and I'm very familiar with this machine. I won't commit such a rookie mistake even with my eyes closed. I didn't slander her. I won't apologize!"

She was saying that the inexperienced newcomer was at fault here.

After careful consideration, Jennifer chose the third option. The surveillance was only set up at the corridor. Since there weren't any important and valuable things inside, there was no surveillance. Since they were the only two who entered the lab, her reasoning was more logical. She felt that she had a higher chance of success. Once she succeeded, she could kill two birds with one stone. She could clear her own name as well as chase away this hateful woman. Content

Upon hearing that, Alicia flared up. Jennifer was determined to put the blame on her.

That was going too far!

Frederick was also gritting his teeth. He thought to himself, "This d*mned woman! Did she really want to get the police involved?"

Alicia calmed down to review the

whole incident. She was sure that she didn't touch the machine. She didn't even know what kind of malfunction the machine was experiencing. However, throughout the conversation, she could roughly figure out what had happened to the machine. She had worked hard on studying the products and machinery, so she was confident that even if she were to operate the machine, she wouldn't commit such a mistake.

Of course, she didn't think that Jennifer would make such a mistake either. Either Jennifer was also wronged, or there was an accident, or she was trying to frame her! Thinking about it, Alicia felt that the latter two were more likely.

She didn't want to create any conflicts with her colleagues, but since she was being framed, her temper flared up.

"I have a way to find out who's responsible and to prove my innocence!"

Even if it was risky, she was willing to bet on it.

As soon as she finished her words, everyone's eyes turned to her.

Frederick also turned to her with concern in his eyes, "Newcomers should behave like newcomers. Don't force yourself!"

Fearing that she would become a laughingstock in the end, Frederick was trying his best to protect her. Even if he was being partial towards her, he didn't want her to be wronged. He only wanted this matter to end peacefully.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He was worried about her!

"Please give me a chance! If the surveillance has no blind spots and only the two of us have entered the lab plus we can prove that the machine was broken in these two days, I am sure that I can clear my suspicion!"

Not everyone could enter the lab at will. Only the technicians and people from the International Affairs Department could enter as they were learning how to use the machine. Whoever wanted to enter would have to get the keys to open the door. When they were leaving,

they would have to lock toaving,

door too. There should be surveillance where they be a record of whoever

has taken the key, and there should be surveillance too. Content belongs

to

As Alicia pondered, she also prayed in her heart.

Frederick was silent and hesitant for a moment. On the other side, Jennifer's body shook slightly. She was clenching her fists tightly and a hint of

panic flashed through her eyes.

Frederick looked at Alicia and asked gently, "Are you sure?"

He hoped that she would think carefully and not act on impulse!

Seeing her nod as if she had a well-thought-out plan and the stubborn look on her face, Frederick guessed that she was really angry for being framed. There was a faint smile on his face.

It's not a big deal after all! He would always be there for her!

Turning around, his gaze coldly swept over Jennifer, "It's still not too late to regret and admit it now. In five minutes, if no one's willing to admit, we'll start the investigation!"
