rk’s expression was tense, filled with anger. He knew Cyrus could definitely follow through on his threats. After all, Cyrus had never cared about him.
Finally, he called Michael, his voice cold. “Don’t take any action against Clement for now.”
Hanging up, he red at Cyrus. “You can leave now.”
Cyrus‘ gaze darkened. “One day, you will understand that everything I do is for your own good.”
rk didn’t reply. Instead, he picked up a file, pretending he hadn’t heard anything.
There was a sh of coldness in Cyrus‘ eyes at rk’s indifferent face before he turned and quickly left.
Michael was already on his way to the subsidiarypany when rk’s call came. Finding the situation inexplicable, he turned back. Just as he entered the office, a chill ran down his spine, as if he had stepped into an icy wastnd. “Mr. Sumner, regarding Clement-”
“Don’t worry about it. Just spread the news that it was Lucia who filmed the video.”
Seeing rk’s cold expression, Michael dared not ask further questions. He nodded before leaving.
When Lucia arrived at work in the morning, she immediately felt the odd nces from others. Especially in the R&D department, none of her colleagues struck up a conversation with her. Every time she tried to speak, they either seemed too busy or intentionally ignored her, clearly isting her.

“Lucia usually acts nice and innocent, but who knew she was so malicious behind our backs? She actually filmed that video to nder N. From now on, who would dare to associate with her?”
“Heh, no wonder N was at odds with her from day one at work. Looks like she knew her true colors.”

“N, are you spreading rumors in thepany that I filmed the video of forcing Keh to kneel?<b>” </b>
Seeing Lucia’s agitated state, N remainedposed. “You did something shameful. Shouldn’t you feel <b>guilty </b>after it’s exposed? How are you still boldly using me like this?”
“So it’s really you!”

Upon arriving at thepany in the morning and learning about the situation, her first thoughts were of Vrie and Damon. However, both denied any involvement when she asked them.
“Believe what you want,” N said dismissively. <b>She </b>turned to leave, done wasting time with Lucia.
However, Lucia stepped forward and blocked her path, her gaze filled with anger <b>and </b>resentment.
“You need to exin right now that this has nothing to do with me!”
N found it amusing how confidently Lucia wasmanding her even after doing something wrong.
“Dream on,” N replied and turned to walk away, but Lucia grabbed her.
As they struggled, neither noticed how close they were getting to the stairs.
Suddenly, Lucia stepped into empty space, pulling N along as they tumbled down the stairs together…
