When Janet saw Elizabeth's tear-stained face, she was taken aback. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Was it because Elizabeth was still hurting from her break up?

Elizabeth looked around anxiously. When she saw that no one was looking at them, Elizabeth grabbed Janet's hand and whispered, "Janet... It's all my fault that the design was leaked." Elizabeth was the one who leaked the design?

Shocked, Janet looked at her wordlessly. She didn't know what to say. After a long time, she swallowed and said slowly, "Elizabeth, tell me what happend. Did you sell the design?"

Janet recalled showing the draft to Elizabeth once before. At the time, she felt that she was still too inexperienced, so she showed it to Elizabeth to ask for her opinion.

But Elizabeth didn't look like someone who would betray W Marks Studio!

"No, I... The file was in my computer. It was Jorge. Recently, Jorge had suddenly become a whole new person. He pretended to be good to me because he thought that I'd give him money to buy drugs. I didn't agree, so he borrowed money from shady people. In the end, he amassed a huge debt. A few days ago, when I was in the shower, he got on my computer and copied all the files and sell them."

Elizabeth yanked at her hair in distress. She was clearly wrought with guilt.

"You should've told me sooner. Things have been blown out of proportion now."

Janet didn't know what to do. Since Mrs. Fuller had made such a huge deal out of it, Draco had taken this matter seriously and was close to getting to the bottom of things.

"I overheard Jorge talking with someone over the phone the day before yesterday. That's how I found out that he stole the drafts. I was planning to explain everything to Mr. Wesley today... But it's too late now. I had no idea that I had caused so much trouble. Mr. Wesley will kill me!" Elizabeth looked desperate. She muttered dejectedly, "I'm doomed. My career is over."

The more she thought about it, the angrier Janet felt. Jorge, that bastard!

Elizabeth was his girlfriend. How could he have done such a thing to her? Didn't he know that it would end her career?

Elizabeth was a very talented designer. It would only be a matter of time before she made a name for herself in fashion. Now, her bright future was about to be extinguished because of a stupid man. Janet felt both angry and sad for her.

Fortunately, Elizabeth was also a victim here. If Mr. Wesley knew the truth, Janet doubted he'd make things difficult for her.

"No matter what happens, you have to tell Mr. Wesley first. Yesterday, Mr. Wesley announced that he'd only give one day for the culprit to come clean. After that, he's going to call the police. If the police replace ou that you're involved, things will only get worse."

And Janet didn't want that. She thought it was best for Elizabeth to tell Draco the truth now.

Elizabeth looked very worried. Her eyes wandered listlessly. "Janet, you don't know this because you haven't been here long enough. Although Mr. Wesley is very kind and seldom gets angry, when it comes to the reputation of W Marks, he's ruthless. What's more, since I've caused so much trouble, I'll have to pay him back in compensation..."

Her life savings had been squandered by Jorge. How could she come up with the money to cover the compensation fee?

Janet bit her lip, worried that Elizabeth would let her last chance slip through her fingers.

She gently tried to persuade her. "There's no other option now, Elizabeth. The only thing you can do is to confess to Mr. Wesley. I'm sure he'll understand."
