Chapter 616

The server looked panicked. “Isla, I didn't mean to accuse you or blameyou, but just now it seems like someone tripped me up."

"What evidence do you have?" Isla's face was full of anger, as if shehad been wronged. "Why would I make things difficult for a poorserver?”

"If you're afraid of punishment, just say it. Why do you have to frameme? You splashed the hot grilled fish on Master Franklin, not me."Franklin gave Isla a cold look. "Do you think everything you've donehas gone unnoticed?"

Isla turned pale. "Master, what do you mean by that?"

"I accidentally recorded a video just now." Jasper played a short videoclip directly on his phone. "Take a look for yourself."

Isla's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Jasper's phone.

The video clearly showed how she stuck out her foot, tripped up theserver and quickly retracted it.

“No... this can't be possible," Isla said instinctively, looking up atFranklin with an urgent tone in her voice. "Master, please listen to myexplanation; things are not what they seem...”

“The evidence is right in front of us; do you think I'm stupid?" Franklin'sface darkened as he felt waves of burning pain in his chest.

His icy gaze fell upon Isla once again. "You don't need to go back to thetechnical department these days; work here in the restaurant instead!You can't come back to MI6 until you realize your mistakes.

Isla bit her lip, feeling humiliated.

As the leader of MI6 technology department, she was definitelyunwilling to be a waitress in the restaurant.

She opened her mouth to defend herself, "My foot sprained slightly andI wasn't intentional. Master, I didn't expect that I would trip oversomeone else. I'm sorry for hurting you. Please forgive me."

Franklin sneered while looking down, "Isla, did you really think I couldnot see through your lies? You should apologize to my wife. And youshould feel lucky I'm the one being burned instead of her."

"Master, what does that mean?" Tears welled up in Isla’s eyes.

She had suffered enough humiliation. Why could Franklin not forgiveher?

“If my wife got burned, you would be permanently expelled from MI6!"With that said, Franklin turned to Jasper and ordered, "Ask therestaurant manager over here."

"Yes, sir,” Jasper replied before leaving the private room.

Isla stood awkwardly in the room, unsure of what to do. She felt like anunnecessary presence.

Aviana didn't have the heart to see her niece being punished. "MasterFranklin, Isla is still young and a bit childish. Please don't punish her soseverely. I promise she won't make the same mistake again.”

Franklin looked at Aviana expressionlessly but with a hint of gratitudefor her, because she had tried to help MI6 out. He knew that Avianahad good morals.

Yet he was very disappointed in Isla. He had chosen Isla for MI6because of her excellent computer skills, but was disappointed by herrecent behavior.

Sylvia's cold gaze fell on Franklin's chest that was burned.

She frowned and said, "Come with me, so I can treat your wounds."Franklin froze, feeling touched by Sylvia's concern.

Then Sylvia grabbed his hand firmly and said sternly to Adriel, "Adriel,you eat first. I need to take care of his wound."

Only then did he realize that he was following Sylvia out of the room.When they passed by Isla, Sylvia stopped abruptly, gave Isla a coldlook. “Isla, you're a member of MI6. I respect Franklin's decision. But Iwarn you, don't pull any strings like that again, or I won't show mercy toyou."

"You!" Isla glared at Sylvia, wondering why the latter dared talk downon her like that!

"No one can hurt my husband without facing consequences.” With alow chuckle from Sylvia came a scream!

"Ahh!"

Isla cried out in pain as she clutched onto her leg which was almostbroken!

"You-" Beads of sweat dripped down from Isla's forehead.

She grimaced in agony while staring at Sylvia, wishing she could skinSylvia alive!

Sylvia was a crazy woman, how dared Sylvia stomp on her shinbonewith such force!
