The Villain's Redemption-Chapter 350 - Chairman

Chapter 350 - Chairman

Wasn't yours to begin with.

The phrase left Scarlette speechless. This woman… how did she know?

However, before she could ask anything, Sienna got up and started walking out.

"Hey! How did you know it wasn't mine to begin with?" she asked. To her surprise, Sienna halted her steps. She turned and smiled at her.

"Guess."

"You— "

"It should be easy to guess," Sienna added. Then she put her shades on and left the room.

Scarlette's chest raised and fell in an abrupt motion. She couldn't believe it! Was it possible that Sienna was just like her?

As much as she tried to deny it, Scarlette couldn't ignore the facts in front of her. Sienna….. Didn't exist in her past life. She wasn't mentioned anywhere!

However, since she showed up in Scarlette's second life, everything changed.

First was Amanda.

Sienna was the one who helped Amanda and even hired her.

She created an opportunity for Amanda and Grant to be together.

Sienna had been blocking all her plans as if she already expected everything.

There can only be one explanation for that!

Sienna was just like her!

Then, if that is the case, Scarlette was at a disadvantage. She needed to find a way to fight back.

Just as she was thinking about all of her connections, a police officer walked into the interrogation room. "You can go now."

"Huh?"

"Your company's lawyer posted bail."

"Mr. Nakamura?"

The police shrugged. "Do you want to leave or not?"

"But — "why would her company save her after what she did?

The officer removed her cuffs and opened the door for her.

"You can leave now, but you cannot leave the country for the time being."

"…" Scarlette's face turned sour.

"If you forcefully leave the country, you better pray that we won't find you. We have an extradition treaty in some countries. You will only suffer if you leave."

"…"

Scarlette didn't want to listen to the man's words anymore. She left the interrogation room. Maybe what the man said was a part of the protocol, but everything was enough to scare her. She was already planning to have a life abroad.

But this case would only make her plan impossible.

She immediately claimed her things and found the lawyer who bailed her out. Just as she expected, it was Mr. Nakamura's lawyer.

"Mr. Nakamura is waiting for you."

"Why?"

The man glared at her. "Beggars can't be choosers. Either you follow me or you are on your own."

Scarlette gnashed her teeth in silence. If Sienna was telling the truth about John, then it might be possible that all of her savings were gone right now.

No savings means no future.

No. She needed to calm herself and think about everything calmly.

"Alright… please lead the way."

Scarlette followed the lawyer towards a black sedan that was waiting for them in the parking lot. The moment she got inside, a loud slapping sound echoed.

*PAK*

"Mr. Nakamura!" Scarlette held her face, tears streamed down her cheeks. She could still feel the burning sensation from the man's hand. "Why did you— "

"How dare you lie to me! Did you know how much money I invested in this project?"

"Mr. Nakamura… sir…"

"I turn a promotion down because of this project!"

"Sir… please stop hitting me. I swear…" she tried to stop the man from putting his hand around her neck. But how could she stop a healthy man who always practiced karate in his free time? "Cough… cough… Sir… Please…"

"If I kill you right now. Do you think the police would be able to find your body?"

"Please…. Cough…" she tried to remove a finger. Just one finger from her neck.

"Listen b*tch! They won't even find a single part of your body!"

Finished talking, Mr. Nakamura let go of her neck. He then fixed his tie and suit while watching her struggle to breathe.

"What are you going to do now?" Mr. Nakamura calmly asked. He accepted a handkerchief from his lawyer and used it to wipe his hand. Then he opened the window of the car and threw the handkerchief away. "I invested my time and money and promised my superior that everything will go well. I invested a lot of resources for you and your time and guess what? We are being sued for plagiarism!"

"Sir… please listen to me. I think we can still fix this."

"Fix this?" Mr. Nakamura snorted. "How? Don't you know that the one that the public will hate isn't you, but the company who supported you? This lawsuit would involve the company's integrity!" Unable to hold his anger down, Mr. Nakamura threw a tablet toward her, hitting her in the face with a loud thud.

Blood oozed from her lips.

However, she had no time for that.

She opened the tablet, and slowly, her eyes widened. "The stocks…"

"Huh… you finally understand now? The stocks are going down and it will continue to go down once it's proven that you plagiarized your software!"

"But sir! I plagiarized nothing! You saw it! We worked hard for this program!"

"Worked hard? Did you think the Rouse Tech would just carelessly say something like this without proof?"

And he was right.

Sienna would never do anything without a backup plan. Meaning, even if Scarlette would argue and try to make herself look like the victim, it would still not end well for her.

Especially after the fact that she really copied those files from that man in the past.

"Then…. What are we going to do…"

Mr. Nakamura snorted and told his driver to drive the car. "We?" She sneered. "Not we. But just you!"

She didn't miss the lecherous smirk on his face. Scarlette trembled.

"What… what should I — "

"You will meet with the chairman and convince him to support you."

"Chair— chairman?" Isn't that the old man who was running everything behind the scenes? From her research, the chairman is already in his seventies. He is the grandfather of the current CEO of the company.

Moreover…

He was known for his lustful nature.
