Chapter 229 Oscar didn’t speak a word.

Arabella unplugged the USB from the computer, held it in her hand, and said with a smile, “I'll trade all the evidence | have for one answer from you.” Oscar was a bit tempted.

“You have three seconds to think about it.” “How do | know you didn’t make a backup?” Oscar was enticed, but as an experienced guy, he stayed alert.

“If | said | didn't, then | didn’t! If you don't believe me, you can check for yourself. Arabella tossed him the mouse. Oscar quickly checked with it, and it seemed there was no record of a backup.

Arabella swung the USB stick and started to count down: “One, two,” Immediately, Oscar grabbed the USB. His anxious heart finally settled a bit. He laughed gloomily. “Little girl, as someone who's been around the block, I'm telling you, being too emotional isn’t always a good thing.” Such important evidence, and she just handed it all over to him? All for the truth about some sketches? So young, so foolish! “It's your turn to talk.” Arabella watched him excitedly and said, “I swear, | didn’t make a backup.” “If you're lying, karma will get you, and it won't end well!” Oscar demanded a promise from her.

“Okay.” Seeing the confidence in the young girl, Oscar was finally convinced. He leaned back again, showing his previously calm.demeanor.

“The sketches were indeed given to Jason by me. That day, | saw you two leaving the office, so | used a spare key to get in.” At this point, Oscar revealed a cunning smile and said proudly, “Bet you didn’t know your office had a spare key, huh? Actually, all the offices in the company have spare keys!” “Oh.” Arabella chuckled, coinciding with her own suspicion.

“I pretended to lose my own office key, went to the HR department, the guy was so slow at finding keys, | complained a few times, and then | looked for it myself. | took your office key while | was at it.” This also matched Arabella’s suspicion. At this point, Arabella gave a faint smile, waiting for him to dig his own grave.

“But | still don't understand. What did SY Fashion offer you to make you betray the company?*.

Oscar laughed casually, “30% of the total sales! If it's a million, | can get a bonus of three hundred thousand! Isn't that better than working hard in the company?” How much did he earn after working so hard for the company for a year? This answer, Arabella had also seen it on his phone; she faked surprise and said, “That much?” “Of course!” Oscar looked relaxed now, as if he thought he was the winner. “It's a shame you were too proud before, or | could have invited you to join. We could have made money together. Why bother working hard for the Collins family?” “Has the Collins family treated you badly?” Arabella carried on with her topic.

“Good, good for what?” Oscar began to curse, not giving a damn about the Collins family: “They called me in to take charge of the company a year ago and gave me a salary of two thousand: I'm the CEO of this company, just two thousand dollars. Can you believe that?” Arabella didn’t seem to mind: “According to your records, you've only been working for a short period of time. A basic salary of two thousand is already high, not to mention other subsidies and rewards. Don’t you get more than four thousand in hand?” “Can that compare with three hundred thousand?” Oscar leaned back in his chair, looking nonchalant. “How many years of hard work would it take for me to earn three hundred thousand?” But by cooperating with a rival company, he can easily get three million! “But your three million is built on the foundation of framing others. Molly might end up in jail because of this!” “Who told her to be stupid?” Oscar said discontentedly, “That's what you get for picking the wrong side! If she had agreed to my terms from the beginning, let me enjoy,” “What do you mean?” Arabella frowned slightly upon hearing this.

“Before you came to this company, | asked her whether she wanted to enjoy privileges by following me or rely on her own abilities in the company, she chose the latter.” Upon hearing this, Arabella instantly grabbed a cup of water from the table and splashed it onto his face.

“Scumbag!” So he not only took advantage of the warehouse manager and the procurement department head but also had his eyes on young girls like Molly.

Thankfully, Molly was upright and refused to submit. She'd rather struggle in the company than bow to a villain like Oscar! Wiping the water off his face, Oscar laughed loudly, stood up, and said, “Don’t you have any more questions? You're leaving the company tomorrow. As someone who has experienced it, let me tell you, emotions are far less important than money! If you give up benefits for emotions, you're an idiot!” Like now, she had the evidence to sue him but gave it to him easily for truth.

Such a fool! “I really didn’t make a backup, but, Arabella smirked, “You guys can come in now.” Several people outside the office rushed in as soon as they heard the signal.

Seeing four uniformed police officers, Oscar was taken aback.

“Officers, this is the man | reported.” Arabella stood up, her aura icy cold. “The evidence is in his hand, and there's only one copy!” “Arabella.” Oscar pointed at Arabella. But before he could finish his sentence, his hands were seized by the officers, and the USB was confiscated.

So she really didn't make a backup. Instead, she handed the evidence to him to deliver to the police herself! That's cold! “Oh right, this is a recording of our conversation.” Arabella took out another USB and said, “He admitted all his crimes in it. It should add a few more years to his sentence.” “You, you cunning woman, you dared to deceive me; let go of me; I'm not a bad guy; you got the wrong person. Don't listen to her nonsense; I'm a good person, and | haven't done anything illegal.” “Officers, can you let go of me? People will see.” “I'm innocent; let me go.” Oscar's voice trailed off in the distance.

Dean stood outside the office, watching as four cops hauled Oscar away.

He looked at Arabella with admiration in his eyes.

Oscar was a big shot in the company. How on earth did Ms. Bennett manage to get him thrown into the hands of the police? “Spread the word; none of the employees are allowed to gossip about Oscar's arrest. There's even bigger news dropping tomorrow!” Seeing the confidence in Arabella’s eyes, Dean swallowed hard and said, “Alright.” He felt like there was nothing in this world that Ms. Bennett couldn't pull off.

This girl was just way too badass.
