The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

Chapter 58- Schemes

Nora felt smug after she planted a seed of doubt in Aaron’s mind, or so she thought.

She was confident that Aaron would end his relationship with Tessa after finding out that she sold his company secrets to his long–time business rival.

David Kingsley’s company often competed with the Wentworth electronics branch. But the Wentworth group always emerged victorious in terms of sales and popularity.

When Nora saw Aaron leaving Tessa in the office, she made a plan to ask Tessa for the file containing confidential information so that she could sell it to Aaron’s rival and frame Tessa for it.

Luckily, Tessa was naive and went ahead to open the safe and gave her the file. She

immediately sought out David and offered him the designs which he gladly paid a lump sum

for.

Nora had a foolproof plan that would get rid of Tessa forever. Aaron was a no–nonsense man and he didn’t tolerate those who stole and lied to him. She was very sure he would get angry and maybe even throw Tessa in prison.

If he could throw Serena in prison, who was Tessa?

These thoughts reeled in Nora’s mind as she waited for Aaron to blow his top. She even decided to add fuel to the fire and said, “You remember, sir? You had left the office for a few minutes. I think that’s when Miss Hilton stole the company’s secrets and sold them to your rival. Perhaps it was revenge for what you did to her in the past. After all, no woman can be happy with being treated as a substitute for another woman.”

Tessa’s breath got trapped in her throat as she stared at Nora in disbelief. She couldn’t believe. a woman would come up with such lies to frame a fellow woman. What happened to building each other and having the other person’s back?

The shareholders frowned and shared looks, not knowing what to say. Aaron had publicly announced Tessa as his woman so they couldn’t interrogate her. So they waited for Aaron’s response and see how he would deal with the situation.

At the same time, Aaron narrowed his eyes at Nora dangerously. His jaws clenched and frostiness flitted through his eyes.

The temperature in the room reduced to a negative and Aaron’s powerful aura swirled around the room. He oozed so much dominance and power, it gave the people in the conference room a certain obligatory force to want to submit to him.

When Nora noticed the change in Aaron’s mood, she smirked and threw Tessa a secret mocking gaze.

‘Just wait and see how the man you thought loved you will deal with you.‘ She said inwardly,

Tessa furrowed her eyebrows but she didn’t say anything. She just chuckled and shook her head before taking a sip of her hot chocolate.

“Do you have proof to back up your accusations?” Aaron finally questioned Nora curtly. His voice was dripping with iciness.

Hearing his question, Nora felt elated thinking, he had bought her lie. She enthusiastically nodded and said, “I believe if we call and ask Mr Kingsley who sold him the company’s secrets, he would say it was Miss Hilton.”

“Ok. Let’s wait for him to finish his interview. I’ll call him,” Aaron nonchalantly agreed.
