I shook off Linda's hand and laughed in anger.

"Linda, I think you have some kind of paranoia. Since we are classmates, how about I make an appointment for you? Can you go and see a doctor?"

Hearing what I said, Linda didn't get angry. She crossed her arms and looked at me condescendingly.

"I know you don't believe me, but I have to tell you that my boyfriend is Gilbert Lawson, Mr. Braiden Lawson's son."

"He is now the sales manager and will soon take over the group from Mr. Braiden Lawson. If you offend me, you will be punished sooner or later."

Gilbert Lawson. The name sounded familiar, so I went home and called my mom, who was traveling abroad.

"You're talking about Gilbert. He's from the same village as your dad. He just graduated. And it just so happened that he studied sales management."

"Gilbert is a handsome man with excellent eloquence. After he was employed, he signed several contracts for the company. Your dad promoted him to manager."

"Your dad hopes you and Gilbert may be a couple. Do you want to meet him?"

Hearing that, I quickly made an excuse and hung up the phone.

Since Gilbert was from the same village as my dad, why did Linda say that he was my dad’s son?

There must be something wrong. In order not to alert them, I decided not to tell my parents about it for the time being.

"Work out the design plan for the client and give it to me before you get off work tomorrow."

As soon as I got to work, Alisha gave me a stack of documents.

The client was the Collins Group.

"Alisha, is it appropriate to give such a big project to an intern like me?"

"Just do what you're told to do. Stop wasting time. If you can do it, just do it. If you can't, leave here soon," Alisha said impatiently, slamming the table.

She was so loud that everyone in the office looked over.

"What if I mess it up?" I asked calmly.

"If you mess it up, you have to leave here too."

With that, Alisha turned and went back to her office.

It was obvious that she wanted to drive me away.

As soon as Alisha left, the office was in an uproar. Everyone was whispering.

"Alisha is so brave. She even dared to offend Mr. Lawson's mistress. Isn't Alisha afraid that she will be fired if Kailey complains about her in front of Mr. Lawson?"

"Alisha is not afraid of the powerful."

"There's no need to take advantage of the project of the Collins Group. It’s obvious that she doesn’t want Kailey to stay in the industry."

I glanced at everyone, and everyone immediately shut up.

Linda came over with a smile, leaning on my workstation and looking down at me.

"Kailey, if you beg me for mercy, I may let you go."

"Do you think you're Mr. Lawson’s son’s wife? Linda, don't you know who you are? Don’t you look into the mirror when you go out?"

As I said that, I took out a mirror from my bag and handed it to her.

Linda was so angry that she looked pale.

"You are so shameless. I am waiting for the day when you beg for mercy."

When I was waiting for Wallace Collins to call me in the underground garage after getting off work, I accidentally saw Linda walking out of the elevator with a smile.

Then, she got into a white Audi. Its license plate number was somewhat familiar.

As soon as Linda got into the car, the man in the car hugged her. Linda smiled shyly and leaned forward.

The Audi started and drove past my car. It slowly left the garage.

At that moment, I remembered the license plate number. Wasn’t it my car?

It was a birthday present my mom gave me the year before.

Things turned more and more interesting, and I was more and more curious about Gilbert.

How dare he cheat others under the name of my family?

I was about to drive to catch up with Gilbert when Wallace called me.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

"I wanted to ask you what kind of design you wanted our company to make, but now there is something more important."

"Is there anything more important than mine?" Wallace asked dissatisfiedly.

"Help me investigate a man."

As soon as I finished my words, Wallace got excited.

"A man? Who is he? Do you have a boyfriend behind my back?"

"Stop talking nonsense. He’s from the same village as my dad. He depended on my dad and joined our company. However, I found that he was strange. Can you help me investigate him?"

Wallace finally felt relieved after hearing what I said.

Wallace was my childhood friend. We grew up together. After high school, he went abroad to study, while I didn't go abroad.

Although we were thousands of miles apart, we had always kept in touch.

The next day, it was almost time to get off work. Everyone was waiting to laugh at me, but I handed the design plan to Alisha on time.

Alisha took my design plan with surprise and opened it in doubt.

After reading it, Alisha fell silent. Then, she closed the plan and smiled at me.

"I've read the plan. It's pretty good. You can go home early today. I'll give it to the Collins Group for review tomorrow."

I went back to my workstation to pack up my things, but I heard noises from Linda. A group of people surrounded her.

"Linda, is it a Chanel bag?"

"It must be expensive. Linda, it isn't a fake one, is it?"

Linda rolled her eyes at the one, who asked the question, and handed the bag to her.

"Of course, it's not fake. How can I carry a fake bag?"

Linda raised her voice and looked at me smugly.

"I'm not like someone who embarrassed herself by carrying a fake bag."

Everyone knew she was talking about me and looked at me mockingly.

"Kailey, come over and take a look. It feels better than your fake bag."

"It is different from the fake one."

I never had the habit of being a deserter. Since they invited me, I immediately walked over and took over Linda's bag.

"It's pretty good. Linda, have you made a fortune?"

Linda immediately took back the bag and looked at me with disgust.

"Be careful. Don't touch it. Do you know how much it costs?"

"It is made of rare leather and worth more than twenty thousand dollars," I answered without hesitation.

After hearing the price, the colleagues present all looked at Linda with envy.

However, I stared at the blue bag in Linda's hand and fell into deep thought.

"My boyfriend is waiting for me downstairs, so I'm leaving now."

Linda looked at the envious eyes of the crowd and left with satisfaction. Before leaving, she glanced at me smugly.

After getting off work, I didn't go home but returned to my parents' old house.

After rummaging around in my cloakroom, I was sure about one thing.

Linda's bag was mine.

My mom gave me a rare leather Chanel bag as a gift for my 18th birthday.

Because it was blue and had a crocodile pattern, I thought it looked old-fashioned and didn't want to carry it, so I just left it in the corner of the cloakroom.

On one occasion, a hanger fell when I took my dress, which happened to scratch the left lower part of the bag.

I took a closer look at Linda's bag today and found a slight scratch on the left lower part.

In addition, my bag was inexplicably lost, so I was sure that the one in Linda's hand was mine.

After asking the butler, I found out that Gilbert often came to the house to visit my parents on holidays during the time I was in college.

He was smart and from the same village as my dad, so my mom often invited him to have dinner with them.

Over time, Gilbert treated here as his home and occasionally stayed overnight.

It turned out that Gilbert was also a thief.

My dad was on a business trip to negotiate a new project, and my mom was traveling abroad.

I went to the company to gain experience to inherit the company, so I wanted to deal with Gilbert, who was harmful to the company.

"Let us congratulate Linda. Her design plan has been highly regarded by Mr. Collins. I have decided to make an exception and employ her."

As soon as I entered the company, I heard applause coming from the office.

When I entered the office, I saw Linda and Alisha standing in the middle and accepting everyone's congratulations.

As soon as they saw me, everyone froze in embarrassment.

"After we get off work today, I will hold a celebration party for Linda. Everybody, remember to attend it. Now, let's start work."

I looked at them with indifference, not knowing whether the celebration party could be held.

After Alisha finished her words with a smile, she turned around and looked at me coldly.

"Come in with me."

As soon as I entered her office, Alisha yelled at me, "What the hell have you done?

"Your plan is not as good as Linda’s. When Mr. Collins saw your plan, he got angry. He asked why our company employed you."

"If Linda hadn't stepped forward in time and worked out a plan that made Mr. Collins satisfied, how could you stand here?"

I wanted to applaud Alisha. It was a pity that she was not an actress with such acting skills.

I sent my design plan to Wallace and only gave it to Alisha after getting his approval.

However, Alisha told me that my plan was not approved, but Linda's was.

Everyone knew that Linda was eager to get off work these days. She did nothing at work and may not know how to draw a drawing.

It was obvious that Alisha gave my achievement to Linda.

In her eyes, I was just an intern, and she thought she could control me easily.

It was a pity what she thought was wrong.

"Really? Why didn't Mr. Collins tell me about that?"

I crossed my arms and sneered.

Alisha got angry immediately. She slammed the table and stood up.

"What do you mean? Do you think I gave your plan to Linda?"

I shrugged.

"I didn't say that. I will call Mr. Collins and find out what's going on."

"You are just an intern. How could you know Mr. Collins? I don't think you even know where the Collins Group is.

"Don't try to cheat me. It won't take more than a minute for me to get you out of the company. You’d better behave yourself," Alisha pointed at me angrily and warned me.

"Why don't we wait for Mr. Collins and find out whether I know him?"

I turned cold and took out my phone to send a message to Wallace.

"Come to my company."
