Chapter 42 Melissa’s Plan
“Yes, Mr. Gibson,” Alex responded respectfully.
Soon. Alex returned to the conference hall with a copy of Melissa’s surveillance footage from the time
she went to the airport and came back this morning.
“Mr. Gibson, I got it.” Alex handed Murray the USB.
Murray took the USB, leaned back, and narrowed his eyes.
He wondered what on earth the surveillance captured.
He put the USB on the table with a cold expression and said indifferently, “Show me.”
“Yes.” Alex turned on the computer and projector and began to play the surveillance video on the USB.
Susie wiped the sweat from her forehead and comforted herself.
He won’t find anything even if he got the surveillance, she thought.
She didn’t swap the blueprints herself.
She made the perfect arrangements. It wouldn’t be traced back to her.
The video started with Melissa organizing a folder. She took the design drawing out of the folder and
examined it carefully.
It was clear that Melissa was holding the design paper instead of a blank sheet.
Before Melissa finished checking, she put the design back in the folder, put the folder in the drawer,
and went to the airport.
After that, no one approached Melissa’s desk until 12 o’clock. It was time to eat.
All the office staff went to the dining room and the office was empty.
Just then, a middle-aged woman in a cleaner uniform came into the office with a cleaning tool in her
hand.
She crept over to Melissa’s desk, looked around, and quickly opened the drawer, took the design from
the folder, and put in some blank paper.
“So it was this cleaner who did this,” Susie said in relief.
Since the surveillance footage was checked, nobody would suspect her.
This cleaner, who took her money, should be hiding in the countryside now.
Susie was sure that Melissa would soon be in trouble!
“Melissa, you accused me of changing blueprints, and now that you’ve seen the surveillance, it turns
out it wasn’t me.” Susie regained her composure and challenged Melissa, “Do you owe me an apology
for publicly abusing me?”
“We will see.” Melissa was calm and collected, indicating for Alex to pause the video.
“Yes, we all saw it. It was Jenny who changed the paper.” Melissa pointed at the cleaner in the video.
“But why did she do this? What good is it for her to do it?”
“Go and ask her.” Susie was sure that Melissa would not find Jenny.
Murray frowned slightly and motioned for Alex to find Jenny.
Alex made a call and then reported to Murray, “Mr. Gibson, Jenny has resigned at one o’clock this
afternoon.”
At one o’clock?
It was when she had just changed the blueprint.
Jenny quit right after she replaced the blueprint. It was all premeditated.
“Find her!” Murray’s expression was cold. His tone was firm.
Melissa smiled. “Don’t bother. I’ll have Jenny come right away. All will come out then.”
“You?” When Murray heard this, surprise flashed across his eyes.
Melissa picked up her phone and dialed, “Jenny, come over now. Yes, the conference room on the 18th
floor.”
Susie panicked. She wondered, How could Melissa possibly have Jenny’s phone number? And get her
here now?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible! :
It must be Melissa trying to confuse me.
Susie knew that she couldn’t panic, she had to be steady. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Ten minutes later, the middle-aged woman in the video, dressed as a cleaner, appeared at the door of
the conference hall. It was Jenny.
“Jenny, please come in.” Melissa nodded at Jenny and gestured for her to come in.
Jenny seemed a little nervous, but she still walked in firmly.
The moment Susie saw Jenny, her face turned pale.
She confirmed that Jenny had resigned and returned to the countryside. She could not understand why
Jenny was here now.
“Jenny, did you change the design drawing in my folder?” Melissa asked calmly.
Jenny nodded and admitted, “Yes.”
“Then why did you do this?” Melissa continued to ask.
Jenny looked down. “Someone gave me 50 thousand dollars and asked me to replace your design
drawing.”
“50 thousand dollars to order you?” Melissa glanced around. “Is this person in the conference hall?”
“Yes, it was her!” Jenny suddenly pointed at Susie. “It was Ms. Hodgson!”
“Don’t be mean. Did Melissa put you up to it? Yeah, Melissa must have put you up to it!” Susie shouted
in panic, trying to frame Melissa.
Seeing Susie’s face, Melissa smiled.
All of this was in her plan.
That day she heard Susie and Adela on the phone in the bathroom and knew they were in cahoots with
each other, plotting against her.
Melissa let Anthony secretly eavesdrop on Susie’s phone, and learned that Susie planned to steal
away the design drawing of “Ice and Fire”, in an attempt to make Murray chase Melissa from the
Gibson Corporation for malfeasance.
Susie knew that Jenny’s son was seriously ill and in need of money, so she wanted to bribe Jenny with
money so that Jenny could secretly replace the drawing.
Melissa found Jenny and contacted the doctor who treated her when she was young to treat Jenny’s
son.
Jenny’s son quickly recovered. Jenny was grateful to Melissa and promised to help her do anything.
Therefore, Melissa came to a plan. She let Jenny pretend to accept Susie’s money and promise her to
change the drawing, and secretly collected evidence in the meanwhile.
Her goal was to expose Susie!
Susie tried to accuse Melissa and throw her out, but Melissa gave her a taste of her own medicine!
“Jenny, did I instruct you to wrongly accuse her?” Melissa asked nonchalantly.
Jenny shook her head and said, “No, it was Ms. Hodgson who asked me to steal your blueprint.”
“Nonsense!” Susie denied. “What did Melissa give you to do me such a wrong?”
“I didn’t wrong you, Ms. Hodgson. This is what I secretly recorded the day you paid me to change the
blueprint.” Jenny said, pulling a recorder from her pocket.
When seeing this recorder, Murray’s face, which had been tense all this time, flashed with a slight
change.
He had seen this recorder in Melissa’s room.
Murray wondered, Melissa gave this to Jenny?
So Melissa had long seen through all of this?
And now Jenny’s presence and defection are all Melissa’s plan?
