Chapter 44 She felt that Sylvia was setting a trap for her , so she chose to skip this question . He continued to question her . Director Lancelot , when did you talk to Epicent Films about the cast ? Why didnt I know anything about this ? Ms. Gordan , should I inform you before doing things ? Sylvia sneered . When she looked at Lucy , her eyes were cold . But who do you think you are ? Lucy was stunned . She didnt expect Sylvia to insult her in front of the entire company . At this moment , everyones eyes were fixed on her . She bit her lip and softened her aura . With a hurt expression , she said respectfully , Im sorry . I thought you would discuss it with your subordinates . She , who was weak and timid , was confronted with the arrogance of Sylvia . It was as if her superior had bullied her . Lucy felt pleased with herself . She thought , You wan Chapter 43 Edgar pursed his thin lips and strode out of the restaurant without saying a word . Tim had no choice but to call his subordinates to let them go . Lucy and Mr. Jameson were tied up in a dark room , shivering . She had never dreamed Sylvia would be familiar with someone as powerful as Edgar , and her jealousy of Sylvia deepened . Sylvia was just an orphan raised in an orphanage . On her resume , she seemed to be divorced . How could such a woman deserve the help of many top men in Frant City ? But at this moment , she was more afraid than jealous . She was afraid of how Edgar would deal with them . The light was turned on with a crisp click , and the sudden light almost blinded both . They were so scared that they trembled . Before they could beg for mercy , they saw that the subordinates of Tim had untied them ! Then , the group of people left directly . They didnt even give them a look . Lucy and Mr. Jameson looked at each other in dismay . What was going on ? Did they let them go so quickly ? Mediese immediately called Victor to inquire about the on / called was also listening by the side . But Victors phone was turned off . He couldnt get through , no matter what . They had no choice but to leave this troublesome place first , or Edgar would regret it and catch them again . Later , Lucy called Sarah and learned from her that Victor and Louis had been arrested . 15:06 Falling fox Chapter 43 Sarah asked , What happened ? Mr. Fallen of the Fallen Group accidentally overheard Mr. Wesley and me . He tied us up . Fallen is probably the one who sent Mr. Wesley to jail . Lucy guessed , but she was still a little confused . She continued , But I still cant figure it out . Since he sent Mr. Wesley and Mr. Lewis in , why did he let me and Mr. Jameson go ? Sarah was silent for a moment . Ill send someone to investigate this matter . You just need to keep an eye on that woman . After hanging up the phone , Lucy turned her head and hugged the man beside her . The man was bald and in his forties . He held her in his arms lustfully and said , I think the companys new director is quite good . Why cant you tolerate her ? Hearing this , Lucy pushed him away angrily . How dare you say that ? You promised to help me get promoted , but that woman took the position . If it werent for her beauty , would you care about this kind of thing ? Thinking of something , she continued , And my car , you gave me a second hand BMW . Am I so cheap in your heart ? The man couldnt answer for a moment , so he could only comfort her gently . Youre the most important person in my heart . I didnt have enough money on me earlier , but when Im free later , Ill take you to the 4S shop to pick a better one . Lucy snorted to express her dissatisfaction . If youre gunning for that director position , Ill pick apart her flaws at tomorrows meeting . You can lend her a hand then . Being a newcomer , she wont know how to handle it . Shell make a complete fool of herself in front of everyone . And before long , that director title will be yours . Lucy was overjoyed . Its a deal . The guy nodded , his eyes gleaming with desire . Babe , Ive been there for you through thick and thin . Dont you think its time you gave me a little something in return ? Lucy blushed and pouted , Youre so annoying ! Early the following day . 15:06 ع Falline Chapter 43 Lucy drove to the company in high spirits . Before the meeting , Sylvia coincidentally found herself in the same elevator as Lucy , heading upstairs . Unable to resist a playful jab , she quipped , Well , well , Ms. Gordan , you look quite radiant today . It seems like you had a restful nights sleep . Lucy glanced disdainfully at Sylvia and retorted , Certainly better than you . I suppose you didnt get a wink of sleep last night , did you ? Lucy was sure that Sylvia was knocked out by the drug last night . And she thought it was highly likely that Mr. Wesley and Mr. Lewis succeeded . But they were sent to jail by Edgar before they got to send her the video . She believed that was what happened . Therefore , the way she looked at Sylvia with even more disdain . She didnt understand how Sylvia , a toy , was so confident in front of her . With this thought in mind , she lifted her chin proudly , approached Sylvia , and delivered her words with a sarcastic tone . Oh , Director Lancelot , Id be simply delighted to be your friend . Sadly , it seems youre on the verge of losing your job . Im afraid our chance to work together in the future will be quite slim . Sylvia sneered and glanced at her as if she was looking at a fool . Really ? Ding . They arrived at the floor . Sylvia went out first . Looking at her back , Lucy gritted her teeth with hatred . Id like to see how you cry later ! Angle Group had a meeting every month , mainly to carry out the follow up work plan for each group . Those occupying positions above the director level were seated in the first half of the table , while employees like Lucy were relegated to the second half , which placed them quite a distance away from Sylvia . The leaders and employees arrived , filling the room one by one . The meeting commenced as Patric made his entrance . The heads of each department took their turn to speak . Lucy grew increasingly bored as the meeting dragged on . Finally , it was Sylvias turn to take the floor . Lucy clenched her fists , and her eyes became more and more excited . However … 15:06 Falling for Chapter 43 She inadvertently glanced at the board of directors but didnt see the familiar face , not even his seat . What happened ? He had promised her last night , and this morning , they went to work together . Lucy was puzzled and turned her head to look at Sylvia , who was not far away . Sylvia smiled meaningfully and looked away . That smile looked cold and charming , but in the eyes of Lucy , it was a provocation . Intuition told Lucy that this matter definitely had something to do with Sylvia . After struggling for a long time in her heart , she still couldnt help asking the person next to her in an extremely low voice , Do you know why Henry Lincoln didnt come today ? The mans face changed , and then he waved his hand . I dont know him . Dont ask me . What ? His reaction was weird . Not believing her ears , Lucy shifted her gaze to the left . To her surprise , the employee seated beside her preempted her inquiry and quickly waved their hand , stating , I dont know anything . Lucy was confused . Sylvia addressed . Lately , our new project , The World , has gained significant popularity . After careful consideration , we have decided to assign ur manys artists , Tom Walker and Andy , to portray the male lead and the second male lead , respectively- Wait a minute ! Lucy suddenly raised her hand to interrupt and questioned , about it at all ? And what we discussed last night was cle when did this happen ? Why didnt I know Sylvia continued , What did we discuss yesterday ? With With … om ? Lucy was speechless . Wesley and Mr. Lewis were inexplicably arrested last night . If she mentioned them , what would people say about her ? 15:06 t to fight with me ? I am afraid you are too naive for that . Patric knocked on the conference table with his knuckles , looking a little unhappy . Of course , Ms. Lancelot has the right to decide . Theres no need to make a bio Yes , Mr. Lucy looked embarrassed and could only sit back dow deal out of it . However , Sylvia stared at her and continued , But since Ms. Gordan asked , Ill tell you . Just yesterday morning , the person in charge of Epicent Films and I confirmed the actors . What ? Lucy widened her eyes . She talked about it with Sylvia yesterday afternoon , but Sylvia had done it in the morning … 15:06 Falling for a Lie : My Stepbrothers Hidde Chapter 44 Since it was settled , why did she still agree to the dinner last night ? Lucy stared at her in disbelief as if she had seen a ghost . So she did it on purpose ? Were Mr. Wesley and Mr. Lewis both sent to prison by her ? Looking at Sylvia , She felt a chill run down her spine . But after a while , she denied this idea . How could an inexperienced little girl be so dishonest and shrewd ? Right ! It must be a coincidence ! Under the long table , Lucy clenched her long fingernails and slowly calmed down . Since Lucy didnt make any more comments , the meeting continued . Sylvia continued . In terms of the overall planning , we are currently in the most crucial stage . The endorsement advertisements and specially negotiated variety shows featuring popular artists will proceed as planned . There was no objection. Sylvia proceeded , Furthermore , I propose an investment in a talent show , specifically targeting our trainees . Many of them are young and lack experience . I think we can invite other companies to participate in this show to form a seven member team and broaden the horizons of these young artists . Wait , I have an objection ! Lucy raised her hand again and said , Director Lancelot , a talent show is no small feat . This proposal might be stretching our budget . And lets face it ; the talent show industry isnt exactly booming right now . If the company ends up taking a hit because of this … As she spoke , she caught sight of Sylvia furrowing her brows and delicately fanning herself with her slender hand . Did you eat too much at lunch ? Why does it taste so bad ? Lucy was confused . What are you talking about ? I didnt overeat at all earlier . 15:06 Falling for a Lio : My Stepbrothers Hid Chapter 44 No ? Sylvia laughed . Then why do you like to show off so much ? Many employees couldnt help snickering . The employees sitting beside Lucy subconsciously covered their noses and silently distanced themselves from her . Lucy blushed and realized that Sylvia was humiliating her . She widened her eyes and raised her voice . It appears that Director Lancelot is quite self centered . Why else would she be so afraid of scrutiny ? Being in the company for only a few days , its quite suspicious that she would propose such a significant initiative . Smith , I strongly recommend thoroughly investigating Director Lancelots actions . As soon as Lucy finished speaking , a loud bang resonated through the room . Patric , seated at the head of the table , forcefully slammed his coffee cup onto the table and said in a commanding tone , I fully support this proposal . The crowd burst into an uproar . They stole a glance at Sylvia , and their expression changed . Seriously ? Mr. Smith , youre endorsing my suggestion ? Does that mean youll genuinely conduct a thorough investigation into Director Lancelots ? she inquired with a glimmer of hope in her Someone hissed in secret . Everyone knew who Patric was talking to , but Lucy was a fool and didnt understand . Patrics face contorted with disgust as if he had swallowed a swarm of flies . With a gloomy expression , he delivered a stern ultimatum to Lucy , If you dare bother showing up tomorrow . eer word , youre out of here right away . Dont A wave of paleness washed over Lucys face . The stark con shocked that she remained frozen . Ontrast in Patrics response left her so profoundly Lucy reluctantly sank back into her chair when Someone neside her nudged her . Subsequently , the attendees shifted their focus towards delving into the intricacies of Sylvias proposal , engaging in discussions to examine its finer details . Lucy listened in silence , her emotions subdued . The sting of humiliation lingered , making her wish for a hiding place to escape the overwhelming sense of being publicly slapped in the face . Jealousy suffocated her . 15:06 Chapter 44 Why wasnt Patric interested in her ? The thought of being involved in an affair with Patric crossed Lucys mind , imagining how it would feel to bask in the public display of his protection and affection . Such fantasies stirred a mix of longing and envy within her . Upon further reflection , the image of Henrys oily face , aged over 40 with a bald head and glistening golden teeth , suddenly flashed before Lucys eyes . The realization that her fate might be limited to dutifully accompanying a repulsive man like Henry filled Lucy with an intensified jealousy . Oh , right ! Henry . Judging from how Patric treated that bitch , there must be something wrong with Henrys disappearance . It must have something to do with Sylvia . She thought about it for a while . The episode passed . Without Lucy stirring up trouble , the second half of the meeting proceeded smoothly . After Patric announced the meeting was over , he left with Alex first . The others left the conference room one after another . Sylvia packed up her things and was about to leave when the womans red nails suddenly pressed down the file bag on the table . Wearing a smile , Lucy addressed Sylvia , Director Lancelot , I still have a few questions for you . Do you have a minute ? Sylvia didnt say anything , but she didnt refuse either . Almost all the people in the conference room had left . With a somber expression on her face , Lucy leaned in and asked in a hushed tone , I need to know the truth . Why wasnt Henry present at the meeting ? Where did he go ? Did you have a hand in his absence ? Henry will never come back to the company again . Sylvia looked up casually . What ? Lucys eyes widened in disbelief . She tightly gripped Sylvias arm and shook it , her voice filled with urgency . The board of directors fired him ? And you were behind it ? Why would you do such a thing? 15:06 Falling for L Chapter 44 The previous night , Henry had confided in Lucy about their plans for dealing with Sylvia on this day. However , to Lucys astonishment , Henry had been abruptly terminated today . She didnt believe it ! very Sylvias face contorted with disdain as she forcefully slapped Lucys hand away . He was dismissed from the company and taken to the police station due to an illicit transaction with a female employee . Hes facing a sentence of over ten years in prison , she revealed with a cold and matter of fact tone . While recounting the details , Sylvia swiftly retrieved a wet tissue , meticulously wiping her wrist that Lucy touched and then her file ag . Sylvia maintained a cordial smile as she continued , This information is highly confidential , and hardly anyone in the company dares to disclose it to you except me . I did so only because wed been working together for a few days . You are welcome . Hearing this , Lucy staggered back in disbelief , her scalp tingling with a wave of shock . So, you … you scalp tingling with a wave of shock . So , you … you actually knew everything last night ? Were you intentionally playing along with my scheme ? Sylvia didnt answer and walked straight to the main seat of the conference room . As Sylvia took her seat , she crossed her slender legs , inadvertently revealing her exquisite figure . Despite being slightly shorter in stature than Lucy , Sylvia exuded an aura of undeniable automotive . She smiled , If you miss him so dearly, Lucy , why dont you go and keep him company ? 15:06 Title: A Tangle of Love (English-dubbed) In "A Tangle of Love," a captivating romance unfolds within a unique observation show where participants navigate intricate relationships, love triangles, and power dynamics.
