Anastasia put down her phone, and judging by Victor’s reaction, she got the drift of what he was up to.

She gave me the design, wanting to brownnose, and even willingly handed over the copyright to me. Wendy was in dire need, so I had no choice. I was framed by May, and I knew she was bad news.”

Victor gave Selena a hard look, his brow furrowed.
