“What exactly did you overhear?” Mary asked directly, without beating around the bush, even with a slight tone of accusation.
She had been on the phone for a while, and from where Xia Qingtian was standing, she could have heard everything.
Regardless of whether she heard anything or not, she has to leave the corporation by tomorrow!
“What do you mean by what I heard?” Rather than answer her question directly, Xia Qingtian posed a counter-question.

“Xia Qingtian, don’t play dumb with me.” Seeing her response, Mary instantly dropped her politeness, laughing coldly before saying, “No matter what you heard, if you dare whisper a word of it tomorrow, I have the means to banish you from A City forever!”
“Really?” Xia Qingtian blinked, suddenly laughing, and asked curiously, “And how does Sister Mary plan on banishing me from A City?”
“Xia Qingtian, if you value your skin, stay out of matters that don’t concern you.”
As Mary spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and her tone turned ominous, “The corporate world is not as simple as you think. The more you know, the more danger you face.”
“Is Sister Mary threatening me?” Xia Qingtian looked at her fearlessly, asking with a smile.
“It seems you have no wish to…” Mary was speaking when she suddenly spotted a tall figure. Her expression changed instantly, grabbing Xia Qingtian’s wrist and declaring loudly, “Xia Qingtian, don’t think that because your actions are so covert that nobody’s on to you for selling company secrets!”
“Are you okay?”
Xia Qingtian was bewildered by Mary’s sudden outburst.
“What are you two doing?”
A cold, deep voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Xia Qingtian was startled and before she could process what was happening, Mary released her and moved towards the front, respectfully saying, “President, someone reported that Xia Qingtian has slipped into my office before, stealing company confidential documents and selling information to competitor companies!”
Xia Qingtian turned around to see Bo Jingyan’s towering figure behind her.
He was not dressed in his usual suit, but instead wore a long silver-grey coat that accentuated his tall stature, flanked by Jiang Xuan.
Bo Jingyan’s gaze fell on Xia Qingtian, his expression inscrutable, just silently watching her.
Unexpectedly, Mary had turned the tables on her, making Xia Qingtian instantly argue in dissatisfaction, “She’s just spouting nonsense! She’s the one taking kickbacks within the corporation, embezzling funds, and sending confidential information to the outside! I heard it all when I was on the phone earlier!”
“Xia Qingtian, stop slandering me!”
Upon hearing her accusations, Mary’s face immediately changed, launching a personal attack on her.
“Since you joined the corporation, I could tell you were dishonest. Instead of focusing on your job, you are always chatting with male colleagues. I’ve seen you lean in too closely to them multiple times! You even had to excuse yourself during a meeting to throw up. Could you have concealed a marriage history when you joined the company?”
“You…”
Xia Qingtian’s expression faltered. She didn’t realize Mary would stoop so low to discredit her, making her so angry she turned pale.
After hearing her words, Bo Jingyan suddenly spoke in a cold voice tinged with a different emotion, “When did you throw up?”
Xia Qingtian’s heart tightened, impulsively feeling guilty, and she glanced at him nervously, awkwardly explaining, “I just ate something wrong a few days ago and felt a bit unwell in my stomach.”
Upon hearing this, Bo Jingyan’s brows furrowed and his voice deepened, “Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?”
“I…” The words were about to leave Xia Qingtian’s mouth when Mary cut her off.
“President, I’ve been married for multiple years. The way Xia Qingtian was vomiting was not indicative of stomach trouble. She is definitely pregnant!”
Seeing Bo Jingyan saying such, and thinking that he believed her, Mary hurriedly added fuel to the fire.
“With a woman like her, whose behaviour is questionable and flirtatious, it speaks volumes of the company that they would send her over! I urge the President to reconsider our theme park project with the Gu Family, and Xia Qingtian’s theft of company secrets cannot be tolerated!”
Seeing Bo Jingyan’s expression, Xia Qingtian didn’t know why, but she began feeling nervous. Her heart was in her throat, and she even forgot to defend herself.
Mary had been an employee with the corporation for quite some time, but Xia Qingtian had hardly been with the Bo Family for a week.
If she told Bo Jingyan about Mary’s kickbacks and leaking of information, would he believe her?
Bo Jingyan stared at Xia Qingtian for a while, then suddenly laughed coldly, looked up at Mary and said in a deep gloomy voice, “Finished talking?”
Seeing that there was something off about Bo Jingyan’s expression, Mary suddenly looked stiff and nodded uneasily.
“Jian Xuan, bring it out.” Bo Jingyan instructed coldly, his gaze falling on Xia Qingtian, his tone icy.
Xia Qingtian was taken aback, and couldn’t help but glance at Jian Xuan.
What was he supposed to bring out?
“Yes, President.” Upon hearing his words, Jian Xuan took out some documents from his briefcase, stepped forward, and handed them to Mary.
“This is…”
Mary bent down in confusion, but when she saw the content on the papers, her face turned pale. She couldn’t help her hand from shaking as she held the papers.
The document recorded every instance of her taking kickbacks and selling information.
Bo Jingyan cast a daunting gaze on Mary, his handsome face full of gloom. His aura was intimidating, causing fear.
“Even if Xia Qingtian hadn’t said anything today, I would have already suspected you.”
Bo Jingyan stared at Mary, his cold lips curling upwards, his eyes hidden in the shadow, he said coldly, “Daring to play tricks under my watch, I see you’re tired of living!”
“I… Mr. President, I was just confused for a moment!” Mary shivered all over and knelt down before Bo Jingyan.
Xia Qingtian was stunned.
Mary kneeled before Bo Jingyan, stretching out her hand to beg for mercy.
Her voice trembled tremendously, filled with fear, “Mr. President, please…”
Bo Jingyan glanced at her disdainfully, as one would look at trash, his thin lips parted slightly, his voice icy and bone-chilling, “Jian Xuan, hand the evidence over to the police. I don’t want to see her in the company tomorrow.”
“Yes, President.” Jian Xuan nodded, glanced at Mary, took out his phone, and called the police.
Upon hearing the word ‘police’, Mary fell apart. She kneeled on the floor with a look of despair, staring blankly.
Xia Qingtian glanced at her, then looked up at Bo Jingyan. Seeing that he was looking at her, she pursed her lips in surprise and quickly looked away.
To her surprise, Bo Jingyan had known about Mary’s schemes all along and was waiting for the right time to expose everything.
But… would he believe the false accusations that Mary had just made against her?
Thinking about it, Xia Qingtian felt a pang of unease. Once again, she couldn’t help but sneak a glance at him, trying to gauge his emotions from his icy expression.
“Let’s go.” Bo Jingyan glanced at her lightly, his voice devoid of any discernable emotion.
Xia Qingtian responded immediately and quickly fell into step behind him when she saw him walking away.
When they reached Bo Jingyan’s car, the driver had been waiting for quite a while. As they approached, he dutifully opened the back door and stood aside.
Both of them got into the car one after the other. Bo Jingyan’s presence seemed overwhelming, and as soon as Xia Qingtian got into the spacious car, it suddenly felt small, and she could only claim a very small space.
“Back to the villa.” Once she was in the car, Bo Jingyan looked at the driver in front and issued his chilly command.
Upon hearing his words, Xia Qingtian looked up in surprise, stealing a glance at him.
So, he had sent her a text after work because he wanted her to cook dinner at the villa?
Upon hearing his words, the driver glanced at the rearview mirror, started the engine, and drove out of the parking lot.
Xia Qingtian was leaning against the car window, staring at the scenery rushing by. She was lost in thought, still thinking about the incident with Mary.
Just as she was lost in thought, Bo Jingyan’s icy voice suddenly broke the silence in the car, “The vomiting incident Mary mentioned earlier, have you found out why it happened?”
