Chapter 256

“What if there are fingerprints? What does that prove? We’re colleagues; it’s normal to have some contact, Alban argued defiantly.

Jade, hiding in the bathroom, couldn’t stand it any longer. Suddenly, she remembered a detail she had unintentionally overlooked. Gathering her courage, she pushed open the bathroom door and said, “Last night, the person who tried to force himself on me took his clothes off. I scratched him forcefully on his back. I have long nails, so there must be marks!”

Gina’s cold gaze fell on Alban. Alban inexplicably felt a chill down his spine and swallowed nervously.

“Take off your clothes,” Gina ordered.

Alban clenched his fists. “I’m just saying, even though times have changed, we haven’t reached a point where women can just falsely accuse men of wrongdoing. Do you three want to see me take my clothes off?”

Alban’s audacity exasperated Alison. “Just show us your back so we can see if there are any scratches,” she said.

Alban gritted his teeth. “I disagree. I have my dignity.”

Gina stood up. “I don’t want to waste time listening to your nonsense,” she said curtly. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Alban smirked. He worked out daily, Jade was a coward, and Alison was as thin as a rail. He could handle all three of them without any problems.

Alban also stood up. “Gina Miller, don’t put on airs here. Do you think I don’t know how you got into Quaria? You climbed into Mr. Clark’s bed. What right do you have now as someone who used her position to question me? I suggest you mind your own business!”

Smack! Gina delivered a resounding slap across Allian’s face. Alban was immediately infuriated. “You….

He wanted to hit back, but as soon as he reached out, Gina grabbed his hand and swiftly twisted it behind his back. Alban felt a sharp pain and was surprised to discover how strong Gina was

He felt like he was about to have his bones broken. “Ah! Stop, don’t twist my hand; it hurts so much!”

Gina let go of Alban’s hand, not because she wanted to let him off the hook, but because she found him dirty and didn’t want to touch him anymore.

Alban thought Gina had let her guard down and tried to catch her off guard. However, Gina swiftly kicked him t ground before he could act. Not giving him any chance to pull more tricks, she planted her foot firmly on his ne remarked, “Maybe I should have worn high heels today, something sharper.

Alban sensed the implicit threat in her words-if he angered her further, she might cut his throat. Reluctantly, he ha admit that he was no match for Gina. “Please, stop stepping on me, he pleaded, “I can’t take it.”

“I’m not in the mood to let you take your time answering my questions. Just respond with yes or no, Gina said.

“Alison, get ready to record, Gina said to Alison.

Alison snapped out of her daze and quickly opened the recording app on her phone.

“Did you sneak into Jade’s room with ill intentions last night? Answer me, Gina demanded, pressing down harder.

y-yes, it was me. I lost my senses for a moment. I like Jade so much. I had a bit to drink last night, and my head was dizzy. When the power went out, I originally wanted to check if she was scared, but then the alcohol got to me, and I just… I’m sorry; I know I was wrong and deeply regret it. My behavior was inexcusable, but I didn’t cause Jade any actual harm, did I?*

Chapter 256

Jade, enraged, retorted, That’s because I defended myself well and kicked you, stopping you from continuing your assault!”

Alban had a remarkable tolerance for pain, whether grabbed or kicked by Jade. He endured it all without making a sound to avoid being identified. However, after working together for a year and seeing each other almost daily, Alban completely underestimated how well she knew him. Alternatively, he was too foolish and arrogant to think he wouldn’t be recognized.

Alban couldn’t help but feel a bit dissatisfied. He didn’t understand why Jade was so relentless, mainly because he hadn’t succeeded in his intentions. He even dared to say, “You dare to act. If your kick had seriously injured me, do you think you could escape responsibility?”

“You…” Jade’s eyes welled up with anger.

Gina frowned and said, “As of today, you are no longer an employee of Quaria and will not receive any compensation.”

Alban had anticipated and accepted this outcome, feeling that being fired wasn’t a big deal. He still had a knack for design. and could easily find another job. He even felt a bit smug, thinking that Gina’s imposing stance couldn’t harm him, could it?

Jade felt touched that Gina had directly fired Alban. It eased her mind considerably.

Alban pretended to show remorse and said, “Okay” Gina then moved her foot, finally allowing Alban to stand up. However, a hint of wariness was in his eyes as he looked at Gina.

Gina asked Jade, “How do you want to handle this matter?”

Jade still insisted on not involving the police. After all, she hadn’t been harmed, and even if she did report it, it probably wouldn’t lead to any serious consequences for Alban. She was just glad to see him kicked out of Quaria. Of course, an apology was essential. “Apologize. Get your knees down and apologize to me,” Jade demanded, her voice filled with anger,

“Jade Arnold, you’re being unreasonable!” A man’s dignity is precious! How could he casually kneel to her?

“Yes or no?” Gina asked coldly, exuding an oppressive intensity.

Alban felt his legs involuntarily weaken. He knew that if he refused, he would likely face another beating. With a sense of humiliation, he knelt and lowered his head to apologize to Jade. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have acted so recklessly towards you last night. I realize I caused you psychological harm, and I’m deeply sorry

Jade didn’t find Alban’s apology sincere enough. Summoning her courage, she stepped forward and slapped Alban. One slap wasn’t enough

to vent her frustration, so she delivered another. Looking at Alban’s swollen face, her heart finally felt calme

Alban gritted his teeth in anger.

Gina decisively ended the matter, telling Alban, “You can pack up and leave now. And watch your mouth; don’t speak ou turn.” Gina warned Alban against retaliating against Jade or spreading rumors afterward. Jade herself didn’t want this incident to become public knowledge, so it was important for all parties involved to keep it confidential.

Alban nodded. “Got it, got it.”

“Get lost,” Gina said, not wanting to see this nuisance in her presence anymore.

Alban quickly left as well.

Jade was particularly moved, her eyes welling up with tears. “Miss Miller, thank you… She hadn’t expected Gina to be righteous, standing up for her like a heroine.
