But if you don’t admit it, they have no proof. They can’t just insist you plagiarized.”
Dylan said angrily, “I think Mr. Beltran is just biased towards Aveline. He’s already convicted me without any evidence.”
“Josie, tell me the truth, how is Mr. Beltran treating you now?
I feel like he’s not as good to you as he used to be.”
“If that’s true, you’ve really screwed me over.”
Josephine said irritably, “I saved his life. He can’t do anything to me.”
“Then why don’t you hurry up and talk to him? Simon is starting an investigation.”
“What are you afraid of an investigation for? There’s no proof.
Just stick to your story that you didn’t steal the idea. With such a big project, I don’t believe Xav will blow this up and become a laughingstock.”
Dylan was suspicious. “Josie, are you just using me to cause trouble for Aveline, without even considering that I might not be able to work in this industry anymore?”
“Cousin, what are you thinking? You need to calm down. My mom and I will both help you.”
Just then, Simon returned, and Dylan quickly hung up the phone.
“Dylan, Mr. Beltran said that Rebecca and I will be in charge of the investigation. We’ll check the security footage and also inspect computers and phones. You don’t need to come to work until the investigation is over.”
Dylan thought for a moment. He really hadn’t left any traces that day, so he said seriously, “Alright. I hope Mr. Barron conducts a fair investigation and clears my name.”
Seeing him so self–righteous, Simon even started to doubt his own judgment.
But he was a professional; it was impossible for him to make a mistake. Besides, he was one hundred percent sure that Aveline’s work was original.
In another conference room, Xavier saw it was already lunchtime and planned to talk to Aveline

Just then, Helena came in, intending to wheel Aveline to the dining hall for lunch.

Xavier said. “I had the manager open a private dining room. We’ll have lunch together there.”
Simon came back, walked over to Xavier, and said in a low voice, “Dylan is insisting he’s innocent and has agreed to the investigation.”
Xavier said coolly, “Then investigate.”
After hearing the situation from Simon, Rebecca was very surprised and gave Aveline a complicated look.
Jasmine noticed and said to Aveline, “Looks like something happened?”
Aveline noticed it too. “It seems to be about Dylan.”
“Didn’t he just turn in the concept art today? Maybe Xavier wasn’t happy with it, so he’s throwing a fit.”
Jasmine was just teasing, of course. Dylan was in no position to throw a fit at Xavier.
Aveline said flatly, “Just leave them be.”
When they went to the private dining room for lunch and Dylan wasn’t there, Aveline and Jasmine became even more certain that something had happened to him.
But they had a silent agreement not to ask anything.
Xavier sat beside Aveline, constantly putting food on her plate. Aveline got annoyed, especially with the weird looks Rebecca was giving her, so she snapped,
“Mr. Beltran, I hurt my ankle, not my hand.”
Xavier smiled, “Doesn’t matter where you’re hurt. You should still eat up and recover. Get better soon so you can give your all for the’s big project.”
Aveline said coolly, “We’d appreciate it if you could wire us the initial payment, Mr. Beltran.
Xavier replied, “I already signed off on it yesterday. The funds should be transferred today or
tomorrow.”
Just then, Xavier’s phone rang. He saw it was Gerald calling and was about to hang up, but then he remembered how Gerald was always threatening to cut him off. He figured he shouldn’t be too hard on him, since they’d grown up together like brothers.
