Chapter 804
But Yolanda knew in her heart that this was no small fry she was dealing with. The Tim Group was a
mammoth, a veritable commercial behemoth. If she were truly to be pinned with a corporate crime,
she'd be staring down the barrel of a hefty sentence.
Her gut told her this was a setup from Agnes.
After all, she copied the script from Agnes' computer, it was the same one Agnes had handed to her.
Had she approved Agnes' draft and passed it along to The Tim Group, Agnes would have been the one
in hot water for corporate theft.
Agnes had seen right through her, knowing she'd find fault and reject the draft, leading her to resign
and Agnes to swoop in and take over the project.
No wonder Agnes hadn't hesitated for a second when she proposed resigning from The Tim Group's
assignment—she'd agreed so readily.
It was all a trap Agnes had set.
She'd presented such a stellar draft, knowing she'd eventually find a way to use it herself. It was a such
an obvious trap and she, Yolanda, had taken the bait. Step by step, Agnes' scheme unfolded in stark
clarity.
Yolanda's head buzzed, her mind went blank, but one thought rose above the noise.
She would not take the fall for Agnes.
With a trembling index finger, Yolanda pointed at Agnes and said, “It was her! She set me up! The draft
came from her, she plagiarized and stole The Tim Group's document. Agnes orchestrated this whole
charade to frame me.”
The tables turned in an unexpectedly dramatic fashion.
Agnes had claimed someone at the TV station was framing her, but now, when all eyes were back on
Yolanda, she had accused Agnes of setting her up.
What in the world was going on? No one could make heads or tails of it.
By then, Agnes had a good idea of Jared's intention. With a calm demeanor, Agnes spoke, “Director
Yolanda, you claim I framed you. Do you have any proof? You wrote that document, you sent it to The
Tim Group's headquarters. What does that have to do with me?”
Yolanda, red with rage, shot back, “That document was your work! Don't even think for a second that I'll
be your scapegoat, Agnes.” Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“How could it be my work when you clearly authored it?”
“I copied it from your computer. If it wasn't you who wrote it, then who? Agnes, whether it's your original
work or you stole it, this has nothing to do with me.”
The moment Yolanda finished her statement, the entire office, including the news department outside,
fell silent. She sensed something was amiss but her mind was too clouded to figure it out.
That's when Agnes spoke unhurriedly, “Director Yolanda, didn't you say no one knew my computer
password? If you managed to copy the document from my computer, that means you knew my
password.”
With that, Yolanda began to see the light. It was all a trap.
From the beginning, Jared wasn't out to nail her for plagiarism or corporate theft. He was coercing her
into admitting that she had accessed Agnes' computer, that she knew Agnes' password.
It was a double-edged snare. If she denied it, Jared would prosecute her for corporate theft. If she
admitted it, she would essentially be confessing to tampering with Agnes' computer.
