Chapter 2694 - 167: Isn’t That Master Wellington’s Little Princess?
In the West, it is said that a diamond is a woman’s best friend. Whether a naïve young girl or a mature woman, they cannot resist the allure of diamonds.
While this saying may not always hold true, it found confirmation in the case of Stella Brown.
When Stella Brown saw the magnificent, dazzling diamond ring on Molly Wellington’s left ring finger.
Her pupils instantly dilated, and emotions of jealousy, envy, and greed shot through her eyes.
"Molly Wellington, you have no shame!"
Overwhelmed by jealousy, Stella Brown nearly lost her rationality and spoke without thinking.
She grabbed Molly Wellington’s hand, refusing to believe that Abraham Redington would gift such a large diamond to a woman like Molly Wellington.
Clearly... Abraham Redington had left this morning, clearly with no intention of taking responsibility, so why should Molly Wellington receive such a big advantage?
"This ring is not yours, you have no right to wear it..." As she spoke, Stella Brown attempted to snatch the diamond ring from Molly Wellington’s finger.
"Are you insane!" Molly Wellington jerked her hand away from Stella Brown, truly angered this time, with one push causing Stella Brown to stumble back and fall to the ground.
She had not accepted Abraham Redington, she wasn’t sure how he managed to slip a diamond ring onto her finger.
But that did not mean she would allow Stella Brown to snatch it away just like that.
Perhaps Stella Brown didn’t know, if it weren’t for her, Molly Wellington might have already taken off the ring.
But now, thanks to Stella Brown, Molly Wellington not only decided not to remove the ring, she even twisted it tighter with her right hand to wear it more securely.
"What’s going on—"
"Ah, Stella, why are you sitting on the ground... Secretary Wellington, d-did you do this...?"
"Molly Wellington, you abandoned your work, and these days we’ve been handling the cooperation case for you. How could you...how could you show up and bully Stella?"
Turns out, the commotion on this side had finally caught the attention of others in the villa.
People from the Royal Palace came rushing over, just in time to witness Molly Wellington ’push down’ Stella Brown.
Seeing others arrive, Stella Brown immediately squeezed out a few tears, pitifully choking out, "Director Hamilton..."
Stella Brown then glanced at the man standing beside Maggie, who was the Director Hamilton from Headquarters, specially sent here after receiving an internal report from Maggie to investigate the situation at the branch here.
"She is Secretary Wellington, I just saw her come down from upstairs, with a diamond ring on her left ring finger claimed to be given by the Redington Young Master. Secretary Wellington could never afford something like this in her lifetime. If she wasn’t selling out the company’s interests, how could the Redington Young Master possibly give her such an expensive diamond ring?
Secretary Wellington is either lying, having sneakily taken the Redington Young Master’s belongings, or she’s using her power for personal gain, betraying the company. Director Hamilton, you must investigate thoroughly, we can’t let such people harm the company!"
Stella Brown cornered Molly Wellington with no way out.
If Molly Wellington insisted it was given by Abraham Redington, it meant she was blinded by greed and betraying the company.
If she claimed it wasn’t given by Abraham Redington to avoid suspicion, it meant she had dirty hands and questionable character.
No matter what Molly Wellington said, the situation was a deadlock, she was doomed!
Director Hamilton from Headquarters, after listening to Stella Brown’s ’report,’ indeed took it seriously and looked at Molly Wellington, ready to interrogate her sternly.
However, his gaze fell on Molly Wellington’s somewhat familiar face, causing him to pause slightly.
This... this Secretary Wellington... is she not... the little princess of Master Wellington’s family?
