Chapter 78 The company has been acquired
Dylan couldn't believe it, but the evidence was pointing directly at Erica, whom he had trusted so much. How could this honest, hardworking, and strong woman deceive him? Erica looked at Victoria with disbelief, shaking her head in confusion and distress. "No, it's impossible..." Victoria snorted disdainfully. Erica cautiously grabbed Dylan's shirt, "You have to believe me, Dylan. It's not like what she said. I didn't plagiarize. Victoria, why are you slandering me? You must be slandering me, otherwise...why didn't you show the evidence earlier? You only showed it now because you did something behind the scenes." "Why didn't I show it earlier? Because in terms of architectural design, Erica, you're not even my rival. I've never considered you as my rival. This design wasn't even made for you. It's just that you guys forced me to do it," Victoria replied. Erica's tears fell down, and she persisted, "It's really not me, Dylan. You know I'm not that kind of person." Dylan felt a bit flustered and looked at Erica with an unpleasant expression, finding it hard to believe her. "Let me go for a moment and let me think, Erica," he silently pushed away Erica's hand. Victoria said, "If you still want me to tell the company that I plagiarized, then I'll make this public. You guys will regret it." The group didn't expect Victoria to have such a cunning plan. Just then,someone walked in from outside. It was Holly's father, the company's general manager, Fang Ruhai. "Dad, you're here," Holly walked over with joy, "Dad, you came just in time. Victoria made a design with an anti-plagiarism pattern a long time ago, but she didn't show it to our company. Instead, she's using it now. Our company can't afford such an employee. You have to help me fire her and make sure she can't work in the design industry again."
Holly pointed angrily at Victoria. Victoria looked at her and said, "Do you think you can rely on your dad to bully people for the rest of your life?" She couldn't stand herself and wanted to ruin herself. No matter how she defended herself, Holly always found a reason to attack her. How could there be such a person in the world?
Holly sneered triumphantly, "You're not convinced? Then you should hope for a better life in your next reincarnation. My dad can support me for a lifetime. What, are you jealous of me?"
"You..." Victoria was about to retort, but Fang Ruhai's face suddenly froze and she stopped Holly, who was ranting. "That's enough, Holly. The company has been acquired."
"What?" Holly looked surprised. "Acquired...by whom?"
Everyone present was stunned. Dylan, who was still in a panic, looked at Victoria beside him involuntarily.
Who bought Qingyu Construction at this time?
If the person's surname was Duncan...
Then Dylan could almost be sure that it was the person who saved Victoria that night.
But at this moment, the person who came in surprised everyone again.
Grayson walked in with a smile. "What a lively scene."
Victoria looked at him in surprise. "Teacher Larson."
Grayson nodded at Containing Smile before turning his attention to the team of lawyers who had just entered behind him. "I'm sure you all know by now that Qingyu is no longer under the Fang name. And now, I announce that Holly is being dismissed from her position as the company's architect due to her poor performance."
Holly's face turned pale. "Why? How dare you fire me? I won't leave. What gives you the right to do this?"
The person next to Grayson stopped Holly from getting too agitated before he continued, "You're just an Ava employee now. You have no right to question me."
Victoria looked at Grayson in surprise. "Teacher Larson, you really bought Qingyu? What about me?"
Grayson nodded seriously. "I did it for you, Victoria. I hope you'll stay at Qingyu and not resign. Your talent is enough to support this company, and it would be a great loss to the industry if you couldn't continue as an architect." This was a huge compliment.
Dylan and Erica's faces turned pale.
Especially Erica.
She stared at Victoria, unable to believe that this incompetent subordinate had caught Grayson's eye and earned such praise.
It wasn't until everything was over and Grayson left that Victoria hurried to catch up with him. "Teacher Larson, did you do all this because of me?"
Grayson smiled meaningfully. "Why else would I do it?"
"Thank you so much," Victoria said gratefully.
Grayson patted her shoulder. "You work hard and keep improving. Becoming a top designer is the greatest reward for me."
"I will definitely do it... By the way, the friend we had dinner with the other day, can I have your contact information?" Victoria took the opportunity to ask.
"That girl?" Grayson remembered.
"Yes, her," Victoria said.
He thought for a moment. "Okay."
Victoria thanked him again and was about to leave when a fierce voice came from behind.
"Victoria."
Erica, who knows where she had just cried, now had a swollen face and walked towards Victoria step by step.
Victoria sneered, "Why are you looking for me instead of coaxing Dylan back? Do you think you've won? Impossible. Just wait, we're not finished yet. Dylan will forgive me because he loves me. No matter what I do, he will always be on my side!"
"To be honest, I don't care what he thinks," Victoria said.
After saying that, Victoria held onto the handrail and walked down the stairs. Erica looked at her with grief and anger, suddenly rushed towards her and pushed her down the stairs.
Victoria didn't react in time and felt someone rushing towards her. She felt dizzy and disoriented, and by the time she realized what was happening, she was already sitting on the ground.
Erica's voice rang out above her, "Victoria, don't even think about trying to surpass me. In my eyes, you're just a pitiful little bug. Do you understand?"
But Victoria seemed to not have heard anything she said. She only felt a discomfort in her stomach. She had fallen, and her unborn child...
She quickly covered her stomach, feeling waves of pain that made her head feel like it was exploding. She looked up and said, "Quick, call a doctor. I need to go to the hospital!"
