Chapter 75 - 72 Sowing The Wind And Reaping The Whirlwind

After gaining Asher's approval, the lighting technician immediately understood, went to the switch on the side, and turned on the lights.

He first put a cold light on the buttons on Annie's back and they were soon shining silver-white.

A moment later, the lighting technician turned the light to red and the color of the buttons turned red, as if they were flames burning on the dress.

"So they really change color!" The crowd exclaimed in admiration as they watched.

Nora raised her lips and smiled, "As you can see, the diamond buttons are coated with that special substance, so they are able to change color with the different lights."

"Okay, now, please put the light on Annie's hand." Nora grabbed Annie's hand tightly as she said to the lighting technician.

Annie's head went blank and her hands couldn't help but tremble a little.

It turned out that what Nora had said was true. There was really such a special substance on the buttons that could change color with different lights.

What could she do now?

Annie struggled a little, but Nora firmly grasped her hand and she could not break free at all.

The lighting technician hit the light to Annie's hand, and when it was turned to cold light, Annie's palm emitted a white glow little by little.

In the crowd's astonished gaze, Nora explained, "Annie has touched the button when she cut it off in the fitting room just now, and she has held it tightly before she threw it into the toilet. So, Annie's hand got a little bit of that special substance from the button, and it changes color under different lights."

With Nora's gesture, the lighting technician then turned the light into a warm color, and the white light on Annie's hand gradually turned red, just like magic.

All the people in the room were looking at Annie's hand in shock.

Nora clutched Annie's trembling arm and showed it to the crowd, "We could all clearly see that Annie's hand could change color as well as the buttons on her dress just now. Because her hand got that special substance on it when she was cutting the buttons.

Now, I believe that all of you have a clear idea of what the truth is."

The people nodded their heads, "I can't believe it was really Annie!"

"Why did she do that?"

"It's true that it is impossible to judge a man's heart from his face. She is sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind."

Annie's face turned pale in the face of all the people pointing at her.

Nora's cold and stern eyes looked straight at Annie, "The evidence is irrefutable. What else do you have to say?"

"No, it's impossible, it's not true." Annie's voice trembled.

How could this be?

Why would it be like this?

It was clearly a foolproof plan. Why did Nora know so much about it? How did she know the button had this substance on it?

"Nora, it must be you! You set me up, didn't you?" Annie cried out reluctantly.

"What is done by night appears by day. Since you dared to do it, you must dare to admit it." Nora sneered and let go of Annie's hand.

"Annie, you let me down." Bruce walked up to Annie with disappointment written in his clear blue eyes.

In the first place it had not been fair for him to make Annie the spokesperson, but he wanted to give Annie a chance because she was asking him to be the spokesperson.

Annie had not cherished this opportunity and had done such a terrible thing that had humiliated him.

"No, no. Honey, listen to me. I didn't do it." Being accused by Bruce in public, Annie's emotions were a little out of control. She grabbed Bruce's arm tightly with both hands, "Listen to me. I can explain. I really didn't do it. Nora set me up for all of this."

Bruce scanned Annie's face and his gaze fell on her manage, "Tell me, what exactly has happened?"

Bruce's face was sullen and cold and his body was emitting an appalling aura, "If you tell a lie, I will never let you have peace for the rest of your life."

The manager's face turned pale as she knew Bruce's character. That was not just talk. If she dared to tell a lie, it would be the end of her life.

Nora had actually proved that the button had been cut off by Annie with the light just now.

Even if she lied for Annie, it would be just a death struggle and no one would believe it.

Furthermore, after working with Annie for such a long time, she knew that Annie had a bad temper and was bossy, not showing her any respect at all.

In that case, why would she offend Bruce and Asher for Annie and put herself in danger?

Thinking of this, the manager took the idea to tell the truth.

She cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Bruce, the button on the dress was indeed cut off by Annie inside the fitting room."

Annie heard this and shouted angrily, "How dare you betray me!"

"Miss Annie, I'm just telling the truth. I don't want to bury my conscience." The manager lowered her eyes and said, "I don't know why Annie would have done that either."

"So, where is the button now?" Nora asked in a low voice.

"Annie has thrown it down the toilet and flushed it." The manager answered truthfully.

"No, you're full of shit. I didn't, I didn't do it." Annie bit her lip and mumbled reluctantly.

"Do you want me to get someone to retrieve the button from the sewers?" Nora sneered.

Annie was so shameless that she would not admit it until there was irrefutable proof.

At this moment, Asher, who had been silent on the side, suddenly looked at Clark beside him and spoke in a deep voice, "Have someone look for it."

Clark worked very efficiently. In a short while, he had someone find the diamond button in the sewer.

"President, is it the button?" Clark carefully handed the button to Asher.

"This is the one." Nora took the button and showed it to the crowd, "All the buttons from Leo's studio have the logo on them."

Nora saw the logo on the button at once. It was just a pity that the button had been soaked in sewage for so long and could no longer be used.

"Now, you have nothing to say, do you?" Nora sneered at Annie, "If your manager didn't see it with her own eyes, how did she know that you had thrown the button down the drain?"

Annie's face was pale. She opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't say a word.

Nora said seriously, "Now that we have all the evidence, the truth has come out. Annie, I don't know what your reasons are for doing this, but no matter what, our company will not continue to work with you."

"What, you want to terminate my contract?" Annie's eyes widened in disbelief.
