The Bound Between Us

Chapter 160

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

Victor was trying to preserve Selena’s dignity. Seeing how Selena and Victor were buddies, Anastasia had a nagging worry that Victor could be biased towards Selena.

They walked into the boss’ office together, where Victor asked Anastasia, “Spill the beans, what happened?”

“Mr. Victor, all I want is a fair chance This is evidence of Selena copying my work.”

Anastasia opened up the surveillance app, and on the screen appeared Selena’s assistant, May. May was sneaking around Anastasia’s desk, fiddling with her computer, then snapped a picture of the design on the computer with her phone.

After Victor had seen it, he asked Selena, “What’s your excuse?”

Selena, not realizing the gravity of the situation, quickly crafted a story. “Victor, how was I supposed to know that May would swipe Anastasia’s design? 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.

Anastasia snorted. “If you weren’t a designer, you could totally have a career in acting. You should be in Hollywood, not in the jewelry design business.”
