Ava's words did not sound like much at first, but if one dissected it carefully, one would realize that Ava suspected Maeve was lying and falsifying a "culprit. After all, she was the one who made the video. The video might be a fake. The video alone can't prove anything, Mr. Brown, Ms. Mason. Maeve lowered her gaze and smiled, "However, when I was remaking the sample clothes last night, I accidentally spilled fluorescent powder on them and forgot to get it off. Whoever touched my sample clothes had to have the fluorescent powder on them. If we turn off the lights, we would know who it

was.

Alex looked at Maeve in surprise, his eyes filled with admiration, Close the blackout curtain in the office."

"Are you sure?" Ava spoke again. "It's not rare for us to use fluorescent powder either..

Maeve interrupted. "Why don't you wait until we turn off the lights? Don't be anxious, okay?" Her voice was very gentle, but Ava's face turned pale slowly, When the blinds were drawn and there was no light in the office, there was no hiding the colorful light on Ava. It was no different from the clothes on the table. stood there, looking humiliated. She was trembling like a leaf, but she could not say a word to defend herself.

Ava

The other designers did not expect this either. They had thought Maeve was not capable enough and wasn't serious about her work, but she had been framed. Moreover, she was framed rice. If Maeve did not have some tricks up her sleeve, she would have been doomed this time.

Ava did not only harm Maeve, She also delayed everyone's progress, so no one spoke up for her. eve, you a

are the victim. How do you wish to deal with this?" Alex asked Maeve gently.

Ava suddenly raised her head and looked at Maeve pleadingly, hoping that Maeve would be magnanimous and let her off this time.

Maeve smiled gently, "Mr. Brown, I believe the company will handle this well. I won't interfere."

Alex nodded. 'Don't worry.

be fair."

Leah, who was beside Alex, sensed something and looked at Alex in surprise.

This matter was over. However, the company's punishment for Ava was a little unexpected. She was fired immediately.

Ava's face was ashen as she packed up her things on the desk. Eventually, she collapsed on the table and cried. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her. When she was done crying, she grabbed her things and headed out of the office. Maeve happened to

I to bump into Ava when she came back. She paused for a moment and was about to walk past her when Ava spoke. "Maeve, are you satisfied now? You've forced me into doing tha Ava gritted her teeth and said angrily.

Maeve stopped in her tracks and looked at Ava calmly. "I don't owe you anything. You brought this onto yourself, You can't pin it on me."

Ava sobbed, I've been in the company for a year, but it's not even my do you have to do so?

"If you're really capable, compete with me based on your strength instead of using these backhanded methods."

Ava gritted her teeth. "You're just lucky this time. If she had succeeded, Maeve would be the one to leave the company.

Maeve smiled faintly, "Why do you think I told you yesterday that I kept half-finished sample clothes?"

Ava's back stiffened and her eyes widened in shock. "You did it on purpose? No way! How did you know that I did it?" She was so friendly to Maeve. Even if Maeve was suspicious, she should be suspicious of Leah.

"I didn't suspect you at that time. I just thought everyone in the office could be the culprit, so I said that on purpose," Maeve said, "I didn't expect to catch you."

Ava said hatefully, "I wanted to do it last night. If you hadn't left the company so late, I wouldn't have fallen into your trap"

Hearing this, Maeve's eyes flashed. "So you know my ex. Aval

A trace of panic flashed across Ava's eyes but she quickly denied. "What are you talking about? How would I know your ex?"

Maeve did not miss Ava's expression. She finally confirmed why Jeff happened to appear downstairs last night.

Ava was the one who tipped Jeff off. She was crazy.

Maeve shook her head. She could not be bothered to waste her breath on such a person. She turned around and was about to leave when Ava spoke again.

"Maeve, do you you even

think you can rest easy just because you forced me to leave?" Ava's tone was indignant. "Leah hates more than I do, and you seemed very close with Mr. Brown. Guess how long she can tolerate you?"

Maeve turned to look at Ava. "Since you're fired, I might as well tell you I've never believed what you said. If Ms. Mason were really as petty and jealous as you say, she wouldn't have given me another chance to make the clothes yesterday. Besides, there's nothing between Mr. Brown and me. I've got nothing to be afraid of."

Ava was so angry that her face was contorted. She glared at Macve's back as she left. Just wait and seef she thought

Just around the corner, Alex stood behind a plant and watched the scene with a smile. He had thought that Maeve was soft and easily bullied. He did not expect to see a different side of her today. He was a little surprised,

Interesting, Alex murmured. Just thinking about how Maeve had retaliated against Ava just now gave him inspiration. Maeve returned to the office.

After this incident, the other designers weren't biased against her anymore and were even worried that her damaged sample clothes would take a lot of time to remake. However, no one expected Maeve to hand the finished sample clothes to Leah. This time, there were no loose threads, snags in silk, or torn hems. The clothes were really finished.

After hanging them on the clothes rack, one could see how eye-catching they would be after they were officially made. Leah stood up from her office chair and asked Maeve in shock, Aren't your sample clothes destroyed?"

"Yes." I

Maeve said frankly, "I sensed something wrong yesterday, so I didn't put these samples in the locker. Ava destroyed only the half-finished product I rushed to make last night.

Leah was shocked: "So, you made samples and also backups?" She couldn't believe how smart Maeve was.

The other designers were also impressed. It would take a lot of time to make the samples. If it were them, they would not waste their energy on "backups

smiled, "It's an old habit. I didn't expect it to come in handy! She would rather spend more time making things

difficult for herself than feel helpless again if something were to happen. Fortunately, her hard work was not in vain. Leah nodded and went to look at the sample clothes. In the end, she said. "Yes, you passed."

Maeve's eyes lit up. Her dimples showed. "Thanks, Ms. Mason.

Leah coughed and returned to her usual cold expression.
