Chapter 286
Lots of people believed Harry and his gang got what they deserved! At the same time, the public’s opinion was all about how Molly, against all odds, managed to study design and bag the championship. She’s one tough cookie, and people were totally falling for her!
Arabella knew the news must be about her brother. He gave the Coopers a day to retum what they had stolen.
Their coming clean must’ve been Harry’s idea, not something her brother forced.
But as for Ken, his wife, and the cause of Myra’s death, there’s got to be more to it than just suicide!
“I’ve checked up on it. Ken, his wife, their daughter Myra, and those 22 thugs who attacked you that night–they’ve all vanished into thin air. No trace of them.”
Only one person could pull a stunt like that.
Jack and Arabella both thought of the same person at the same time: Romeo.
Arabella remembered last night when Romeo said he had some sudden business to handle. Could it be that he went to fix her problem?
With that thought, her eyes deepened.
Design department.
A crowd gathered around Molly, chattering excitedly.
“Molly, you actually won the national championship? That’s badass!
“You’ve made our company proud!”
“You’re Cooper’s daughter? Why didn’t you tell us before? You’ve been flying under the radar!”
“The Cooper’s apparel company is yours?”
“I can’t believe Myra and her gang were so ruthless, stealing your stuff and trying to destroy you. Thank heavens for your dad’s spirit watching over you. Otherwise, who knows how long these conscienceless people would torment you, making you eat humble pie?”
Molly knew it wasn’t her dad’s spirit, but Arabella and Mr. Collins stepped in to help her.
Grateful, she responded to the barrage of questions, Molly, what’s your plan now?”
“You’re a national champion now, and your family returned the company to you: Have you thought about going solo?
“Like taking over the company and establishing your own brand?”
“Molly, promise you won’t forget me when you’ve made it big!
“If Ms. Bennett ever fires me, you’ve got to take me in!”
Molly looked at her colleagues, smiling faintly, and said, “I wouldn’t be here without Ms. Bennett’s guidance and support. I’m not leaving this place. I don’t have the chops to run a company yet, so I need to stay and learn more from Ms. Bennett.
“So what about your company?” everyone asked.
“I’ll leave the day–to–day management to the experienced executives. If I run into any issues, I’ll ask Ms. Bennett for advice.” Molly checked the time and said, “Gotta run; I need to see Ms. Bennett.”
She rode the elevator to the 20th floor and knocked on the office door.
“Ms. Bennett, it’s me.”
“Come in.”
Molly opened the door, smiling as she returned the keys. “Ms. Bennett, Harry just returned to the house he previously occupied. Thanks for lending me yours!”
Arabella raised an eyebrow. Was she aware of this?
