Paul was gasping for air, panic clearly etched into his features.

"No, it wasn't me, it was all a misunderstanding, I swear!"

I looked at him and sighed softly.

"Paul, with the experience you got, you could bag a director's job somewhere else with no sweat. We've been colleagues. I know you're not the mastermind behind this. Why ruin your life over someone else's scheme?"

Jade was beside me, signaling frantically. I knew she wanted to call the cops, but I shook my head. Calling the police now would make it harder to uncover the truth and might even tip off the real culprit.

I needed to get more information first. If York was indeed behind this, I needed solid evidence.

"Melanie, you're Mrs. Patterson. Can you promise not to call the police?"

"What do you think?" I wasn't about to make any promises to scum like him.

Defeated, he slumped to the ground.

"I'll confess. Kayla put me up to this. She said if I could bring you down, she'd become Mrs. Patterson, and I'd be the director of the Design Department. She bought some design drafts to use under my name. I refused, so Mack took the fall."
