Chapter 71 Leona's punishment (Part Two)

"About Leona...it has all been sorted out now. Don't contact her anymore," Ryan said and glanced at Fiona. "Leona made a lot of mistakes, but she has had a taste of punishment. Although the post on the forum did embarrass her, it is nothing compared to what would've happened if she ended up in prison. What do you think, Fiona?"

Fiona looked at Ryan with a scorching gaze. 'It was him indeed. Ryan did all those things to protect me!'

"Ryan, thanks for sorting things out for me. I didn't even have to investigate anything. I can't believe you went to all that trouble. Thank you." Fiona smiled.

"No..." Ryan was about to explain the truth, but his heart sank when he saw the expression on her face. There was genuine gratitude in her eyes. In the end, he just said, "You're welcome. It's nothing, really. Leona also posed a threat to my interests. So it serves her right that her reputation got tarnished."

"Oh, my God.

There's the bell. It's time for class." They were getting a little late and Sophia realized that they had to get to class immediately. She grabbed Fiona's hand, turned to Ryan, and said, "Can we talk some other time, Ryan?"

"Fiona's hurt her ankle. Be careful!" said Ryan.

"Yes, I know. I will," replied Sophia.

Ryan looked at Sophia and smiled, shaking his head. He then turned and smiled at Fiona, his eyes dark and heavy.

'I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth, Fiona,' he apologized in his mind. 'As a matter of fact, I did ask people to look into the post on the forum. Although the person behind this hasn't been found, all the evidence points to Spencer. But since you don't know who really helped you and you thanked me, that's sorted. When it comes to you, I'm more selfish than I am with other people. I'm glad that I got your gratitude.'

That afternoon, D University's forum and campus bulletin boards were full of information about Leona's dismissal. These boards mentioned that Leona was dismissed because of her serious disregard for the school's rules and causing a negative impact on the school's reputation, but the students knew what the real reason was.

The school took the weekend to sort out Leona's problem, and now it was over.

Leona wasn't a student of D University anymore. People who loved to gossip were anxiously waiting for her to come back to pack her things so that they could mock her. But, no one saw her that day.

Fiona wanted to say something to Leona, but she never saw her. She wanted to wish Leona a good life and let her know that she wouldn't be with Ryan.

She hoped that the next time she saw Leona, the latter would be doing well.

Fiona's ankle healed rapidly, and within a week, she was back in good shape.

Soon, things became busy in the company. Sophia was assigned by Jason and Celine to do everything for them. Fiona felt sorry for her and returned to the company on the following weekend.

At the design department of ZR Company

"Fiona, put these documents on the conference table."

"Okay," replied Fiona, nodding. She took the files and went from the design department to the conference room.

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

out of my sight!" demanded Charles.

"Yes, sir!"

"Mr. Wen! I was wrong! Just give me a chance! I will make sure to not let this happen again." Everyone heard her cries as she was dragged away to the elevator.

Charles turned and looked at Celine. When he saw the document in her hand, he furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Celine, will you be taking part in the meeting? What are you doing with that file?"

"Well, this one..." Celine stammered in shock. "There seems to be something wrong with the design, so..."

"Who found the mistake?" asked Charles.

"I found..." Celine started to reply.

"It was Fiona!" Sophia said, interrupting her. "It was Fiona. She found out and told Miss Cheng."

"Really?" asked Charles. He looked at Fiona with interest. "Did you find the mistake?"

Fiona felt a little uneasy under his gaze. She could do nothing but nod.

"What's wrong with it?" he asked. He had his left hand in his pocket as he walked into the meeting room and stopped in front of Fiona.

Clenching her hand, Celine huffed, "This ring..."

"I didn't ask you!" Charles glared at Celine. "Call your department director over right now!"

"Yes, Mr. Wen," Celine replied reluctantly, stomped her foot and left the conference room.

Watching Celine disappear into the elevator, Sophia felt euphoric. She thought to herself, 'You wretched woman, you want to take credit for Fiona's keen eye for design? No way!' Charles valued the skill of a person. It was such a great blessing for someone to be noticed by him.

Sophia was smiling with pride when she suddenly remembered something. When Fiona had gone missing in Maple Mountain, Sophia had called Celine, who had told her that she couldn't contact Spencer. But when Sophia called her moments later, Spencer had been right next to her! 'What is going on? Why did Celine lie?' Sophia thought to herself.

At that moment, something struck her. She cursed in her mind, 'She was trying to hide the news from Spencer so that he wouldn't save Fiona! She just wanted to let Fiona die! What a vicious woman!'
