Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 131

“If we talk about academic qualification, everyone here in this room graduated from top universities. These two

directors sitting in front of you are top students from Konig University. As for the experience, you don’t have

presentable work up to this point. I saw your Christmas special edition jewelry. There’s a reason the sales for that

were mediocre.”

Everything Elspeth said was like a sword stabbing into Alaina’s heart, making the confidence that was left in her

shatter instantly. Alaina suddenly felt as though she was just a clown, showing off her immature skills in front of

experts and embarrassing herself.

“Miss Lynwood, we’re all colleagues. How can you say that to me?” With her innocent look, all the male colleagues

around her relent the moment she cried.

Since reasoning couldn’t work, Alaina wanted to play the victim but was exposed mercilessly by Elspeth. “You start

crying whenever you can’t win an argument. Miss Sullivan, is that all you learned in Winthrop Group?”

At that moment, Alaina’s tears were hanging from the corners of her eyes. It didn’t seem right to let them fall or

wipe them off, so they were left hanging awkwardly there.

“Enough. There’s no need to argue anymore. I’m the one who decided on this. Does anyone else here have any

second opinion?” After looking at the conflict between Alaina and Elspeth, Callum cleared his throat and looked at

Elspeth with a resigned and affectionate gaze. Although he knew at Elspeth wouldn’t put herself at a disadvantage,

the things she said would surely upset Alaina

for quite some time.

Just then, Edmund sluggishly raised his hands. “I do.”

Elspeth thought that he was going to stir up trouble again, but his following sentence shocked everyone. “I want to

take a few months off for a little distraction. I’ll pass the vice president position to Elspeth for the time being.”

With Callum’s arrangement and Edmund ‘vacating’ the position, there was nothing for Alaina to say anymore.

Resentfully, she bore into Elspeth like a monster.

“It’s settled then,” Callum gave the ultimate word, finalizing the decision on this matter.

After the meeting, Alaina went to Elspeth with a humble smile on her face. “Miss Lynwood, I was a little too harsh in

the meeting just now. I hope you don’t mind, but I didn’t mean to doubt your capabilities. I was just considering the

best for the company.”

Although that was what came out of her mouth, Elspeth could tell what was on her mind. With Elspeth as the vice

president, Alaina was afraid that she would rack her brain for ways to chase her out of the company. I’m really not

that free, though.

anything to you.” Elspeth put on a faint smile. “Also, no worries about all the drama. Just like you said, considering

what’s best for the company, we should maintain the status quo.

“You’re right, Miss Lynwood. By the way, you had a lot of contacts when you were the director of the Design

Department, right? Can you…”

Hearing that, Elspeth understood Alaina’s intention. So, she was beating around the bush for so long for the

contacts on my list. “It’s been too long. I don’t even remember what contacts I had…. Aren’t you the director of the

Design Department now, Miss Sullivan? Meeting new people. shouldn’t be a lot of work for you,” replied Elspeth in a

perfunctory tone as she patiently typed on

her laptop.

“How is it not? Can you please look for a little while longer, Miss Lynwood? I can’t contact some of the people…”

Alaina was so mad she was gnashing her teeth. If it weren’t for the fact that Elspeth had the resources and

contacts that an ordinary person couldn’t get, she wouldn’t talk to her so politely; she would have already left with a

long face.

“What? There are actually people you can’t reach? You’re so smart and talented, and you even graduated from the

best university in Damoria. How can it be possible? Quit being modest.” With a hand propping up her head, Elspeth

looked at Alaina with an engrossing gaze. Now, let’s see what you got in store for me, Miss I-graduated-from-the-

best-university.

When Alaina heard that, she was ashamed to ask for her favor again, so she glared at her and left furiously.

“You’re really something else, Miss Lynwood. Alaina always acts like a harmless little flower, but she actually

deceives others for their sympathy and compassion with her thorns. In fact, everyone knows how she behaves in

private. If it isn’t because she’s the director of the Design Department now, no one will bother talking to her at all.”

The colleague beside Elspeth showed admiration when she saw that Elspeth made Alaina leave with her words.

This aroused Elspeth’s interest, so she asked, “Oh? What is she usually like?”

After looking left and right and seeing that no one was listening, only then did the colleague say in a low voice,

“Alaina is the daughter of the Sullivan Corporation. Although she always puts on an innocent and adorable look,

she’s very good at ordering people around in private. When she talks to the male colleagues, she’ll give them

nicknames and talk to them coquettishly, but when she talks to the girls, she orders them around arrogantly. She’s

super double standard. Very few of us actually like her, other than those men who are hooked, falling so badly into

her spell.”

Elspeth nodded and didn’t think much about it. She knew that Alaina wasn’t a good person, but since everyone else

knew that, it made her feel more at ease.

Just when she thought the world was back to peace and she could focus on her work again, a scream suddenly

broke the silence. “Which one of you is Elspeth? Step forward! I want to see which fox dares to hook up with my

husband at work!”

was a woman in her thirties standing there. So, she asked, “I’m Elspeth. What can I do for you?”

When the woman saw Elspeth’s exquisite face and felt her refinement, she was stunned at first. Then, jealousy rose

from the bottom of her heart. “So, you’re Elspeth, huh? You sl’t! Why did you hook up with my husband?!” With that

pretty face, she’s definitely a sl’t!

“Firstly, I didn’t hook up with your husband. Secondly, I don’t even know who your husband is. Do you have the

wrong person?” Elspeth was so confused by her words, but with her grace, she still asked politely.

Despite this, the woman went crazy. When she heard Elspeth’s reply, rage flowed through her À like lava, and she

stepped forward to grab Elspeth’s shirt. “I’m going to see how much longer you can deny! You seduced my

husband, making him stop coming home for so many days, but you still dare to pretend to be innocent? I’m gonna

tear your shirt apart and show everyone your true self!”

Elspeth had some skills in fighting, so that woman couldn’t even get near her. Instead, the woman’s wrists were

tightly gripped, rendering her unmovable.

As soon as the woman noticed that she wasn’t a match for Elspeth, her knees buckled, and she started sobbing on

the ground. “Where’s the justice? Even a mistress can bully the legal wife now! Is there still justice in this world?!”

At this moment, everyone in the office started whispering to one another, discussing Elspeth being a mistress.

Seeing this scene unfold from the corner, Alaina smirked with satisfaction. I really want to see how she gets out of

this.
