When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 287
He said excitedly, “I met a rich man tonight. He wanted to place big order for our products. As long as this order is completed, the cash flow problems will be solved.”
“Who?” Ella asked curiously.
Noah said, “Colin Barnes. The Barnes family has a huge business overseas. This time, they came back intending to return home. By the way. Mr. Barnes said that his sister likes our company’s jewelry very much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought of investing in jewelry.”
Ella was puzzled. “His sister likes our jewelry. Has she ever bought our products? You said that they have a big business and it would definitely be a big order. So his sister should be a VIP customer.”
Noah remained silent. Colin told him that his sister’s name was Elaine. Noah thought about it carefully. There was no VIP in their company with this name.
However, Noah quickly justified himself. “Mom, they stay overseas all year round. To be honest, our company isn’t that famous internationally.
“They just came back home and found out about our brand. Maybe Mr. Barnes just said so out of courtesy, I couldn’t ask him how much they bought, right?”
Ella also felt that his son’s words made sense. Then, did he say which series his sister likes the most? We can give Miss Barnes some as a gift.”
Noah’s face darkened. How could he not have thought of this?
“He said his sister loved the Wish collection.”
Both of them looked embarrassed when mentioning it. So they tacitly skipped this topic.
Ella coughed again.
Noah patted her back and calmed her down. “Mom, you must have been exhausted taking care of James recently. But I have such an important order to deal with now. I can’t accompany you to the hospital for a checkup, but I’ve hired a caregiver to accompany you to the hospital.”
Ella understood the importance of Mr. Barnes’s order and did not say anything else. She nodded and said, “Alright, actuall there’s nothing wrong with my body. I’ll be fine after resting for few more days. It’s not a bad thing to do a checkup.”
The next day, in Quaria

“Gina, I’ve investigated it. Although the post on the company’s intranet was on Alison’s account, we found that someone had hacked her account and logged in…
“Someone hired a hacker to do this.”
“Who?” Gina looked up and asked.
“Zelda Jensen.”
Gina arrived at the marketing department. When Zelda saw Gina, she gladly smiled at her. “Gina! The new product launch is over. Are you leaving?”
It was a pity that she had always wanted to curry favor with Gina but she did not. However, since Gina had connections and

status, it was not a bad idea to make friends with her. Zelda just did not know if Gina treated her as a friend. After all, she had helped her out at that banquet.
Gina werit straight to the point. “Why did you frame Alison?”
When Zelda heard Gina’s words, her heart skipped a beat and her expression stiffened.
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand. Did I frame Alison?” Zelda pretended to be confused.
“You placed an order of 30 thousand dollars to hire a hacker to hack Alison’s account. Then, you used her account to post the so-called anonymous post.”
Although stealing accounts was a piece of cake for hackers on the dark web, hacking into Quaria’s intranet still required high-level skills, which was why the price was so high.
Gina told the truth word by word.
Zelda was flustered. “No, Gina, I really don’t understand what you’re talking about. What hacker? I don’t know.” She began to avoid Gina’s gaze.
Gina requested that she not avoid the question. “You should know that it’s useless to pretend. I can investigate everything you’ve done, so let’s not waste time, okay?”
Zelda was on the verge of breaking down. “What… what are you going to do to me? Fire me like Alison?”
Gina nodded. “Yes.”
Zelda burst into tears. I just hoped that Alison would become the target of blame and be suspended for some time so that I could vent my anger. I didn’t expect that she would leak the secret to Top Shrine!”
Zelda did not expect Alison to do such a crazy thing in a fit of anger. At the same time, she was afraid that what she had done would be discovered. But on second thought, she believed that she would not be incriminated because she hired the hacker on a little-known website.
Unexpectedly, within two days, Gina found her.
“Ayleen has paid the price for her mistake. As for you, you have to pay the price for slandering her,” Gina said calmly.
Zelda cried bitterly and could not say a word.
Gina waited for her to calm down. “Come with me to see Alison. You need to apologize to her.”
Zelda did not dare to refuse. After all, the person behind Gina was Mr. Clark.
She nodded unwillingly. “Okay”
