Chapter 69 Someone is causing trouble
Victoria couldn't bear it anymore and got up early to leave. As she walked out, she saw Darian looking at her angrily. "Victoria, you know that our Griffin Family is also involved in this project. How can you still help Qingyu? Can't you tell who your real family is?"
Victoria looked at Darian. Her father had been good to her in the past, although Erica had caused some disagreements between them. But she hadn't forgotten her father's kindness. "I have to work hard once I find a job. Dad, you taught me that. I can't just do nothing when I have a job. In my position, I have to do my job well."
Darian walked closer. "Victoria,Griffin Family is not doing well right now. This project is the first one Erica took over after she started working here. If it doesn't go well, it will be difficult for her to work here in the future. You are sisters. You can't help others and not help your own family. Withdraw from this project."
Victoria widened her eyes. "The project has already started bidding. Dad, what else can I do?"
"You can stand up and say that you want to withdraw the proposal. You drew it, so you have the right to say you don't want to do it anymore," Darian said persuasively.
Victoria couldn't believe it. "Dad, if I do that, I will definitely be fired by the company. In the future, I will be blacklisted in the industry,and no one will dare to hire me again."
"You're just losing a job opportunity... You can still come back to Griffin Family, and you have a man to support you. You don't need to earn money," Darian said, pulling Victoria towards him.
Victoria pushed his hand away. "Dad, I already married a vegetable man for Griffin Family and gave them 30 million. What else do you want me to do? I might give up my career for Erica's project."
"You... Victoria, I really raised you for nothing. You're not willing to do anything for Griffin Family," Darian said angrily.
Victoria paused for a moment, but she didn't turn back. She could repay their kindness once, but she couldn't do it for a lifetime. They thought that since she was willing to marry for Griffin Family, she could do anything for them in the future. That was impossible.
Darian went back with a pale face.
The winner is indeed Qingyu, the result just came out. Erica looked at Darian and asked, "Dad, is Victoria unwilling?"
"This girl, she really is...what they say is true, a daughter who is married is like spilt water, can't be taken back."
Erica looked regretful, but still said, "Dad, I actually have another way to salvage this, but it may affect Victoria's reputation. I dare not say it."
Darian looked at Erica in surprise, "At this point, what can't be said?"
Erica whispered something in his ear.
Darian looked surprised again, but after a while, he clenched his fist, "You're doing this for the Griffin Family, no one will blame you!"
Erica looked embarrassed, but finally showed a hint of malice on her face.
On the other side, Holly got the bid and smiled at Victoria, "Engineer Griffin, you still have to work harder in the future."
Watching her leave triumphantly, Yesenia gritted her teeth and said, "It's really despicable. It was clearly your credit, but her name was written on it. She didn't even bother to change it and came to show off to you. How shameless."
"It was my negligence. I'll pay more attention next time," Victoria was still a first-time worker and didn't have any defenses. Yesenia looked at her and sighed, comforting her, "But she used your design directly, which shows that your design is indeed the best, Victoria, you're so talented. As long as you have the opportunity, you will definitely become a famous designer. So we can't be disheartened."
"Don't worry, this setback can't get to me."
Victoria smiled too, but that night, they all went to celebrate, but Victoria didn't have the mood to join. The next day, when she arrived at the company, she found that everyone's mood was off.
As she looked at Victoria, her expression was very strange.
"What happened?" she asked.
Before Victoria could answer, Holly stormed in, walked up to Victoria and slapped her across the face. "You slut! It's all because of you and your dirty deeds that we lost the project for our company!" Holly yelled.
Victoria was stunned and looked at her in disbelief. "What are you talking about?" she asked.
Holly threw a design at Victoria's face. "Your dirty deeds were exposed online. Everyone is saying that our company has insider information because you traded your body for the bid. That's why we lost the project!" Holly said.
Victoria's face turned pale as she took her phone and looked at the headline.
"Qingyu Design's sex scandal exposed, insider information at Huan Yu bidding," it read. Below the headline was a video of Victoria and the chubby Louis at a party, and the comments were vicious.
"This is a designer? I don't believe it. Qingyu intentionally hired good-looking people to do this," one comment read.
"This woman looks like a bad person. The man looks old enough to have a wife," another comment read. "She's shameless. She used this kind of means to get ahead at work. We should all remember this face and throw rotten eggs at her!" another comment read.
Victoria's face grew paler and paler. She hadn't done anything, but in these people's eyes, it seemed like she had slept with someone.
At this moment, Holly angrily said from behind, "What face do you have to stay here? Pack up your things and leave now."
Yesenia quickly interjected, "Victoria didn't do anything wrong, why are you treating her like this?"
Victoria lifted her head and said, "That's right, this is clearly someone else's scheme to steal the project. It's so obvious."
"You were the one who acted recklessly and gave them a handle to use against us. Don't you even realize your mistake?" Holly sneered.
"I already declined their offer, and it was you guys who insisted on dragging me to the party. Otherwise, I wouldn't have even shown up there."
"You're still trying to blame us for your own actions?"
At this moment, President Gray hurried over.
"Alright, alright, let's not do this, Holly. Victoria, things have already happened. Let's not talk about anything else for now. The priority is to recover our company's losses and at least salvage our reputation. Why don't you write a blog post apologizing and stating that your actions were personal and not related to the company? See how that goes."
