Chapter 421: Groveling

Tiffany acted post haste. The moment she had the evidence, she called a meeting of all those in the
design department

Once everyone had arrived at the meeting, she played the recording of Ronald’s confession for them.

The employees were indeed flabbergasted but, at the same time, they had expected something like that
to have happened

Many people in the design department spoke for Patty because of her relationship with the executive of
the company

Everyone was also well aware of the fact that Patty was highly impulsive and irresponsible, so it
definitely wasn’t beyond her to pass the buck to Janet. Patty’s face drained of all color in an instant.

She felt shame wash over her entire being as she listened to the recording Ronald had even dared to
call her a bitch. in all honesty, the moment Patty had found out that Janet was Brandon’s wife, she knew
her conniving tricks would inevitably be exposed. These days, she was suffering from intense and deep-
seated anxiety.

“I was scared at that time, so my mind was a mess, and I said it was Lind who hit Mr. Williams. I’m sorry
for my conduct.”

A second after the recording ended, Patty promptly burst into tears and buried her face in her hands.
She was the villain who had slandered and framed Janet in the first place.

Now, however, she cried pathetically and played the part of the wronged victim to the tee. Janet scowled,
but before she could get a single word out, her colleagues had come up to her and apologized.

“Lind, so it turns out that it wasn’t you who did it. We discussed about it before and did suspect that it
couldn’t have been you because you are such a sweet, kind person. You could never have done such a



thing.”

“Sincerest apologies, Lind. We just heard rumors from other colleagues and got caught up in the web of
lies. We wronged you and judged you before we figured out the truth. You are such a good person. I
hope you won’t take it to heart.”

All her fellow employees apologized, one after the other, in honeyed tones with flattering expressions on
their faces. They had never talked to Janet in such a humble tone.

Noisy, hypocritical voices made her feel wholly uncomfortable. She knew very well that they did this
mainly due to the fact that she was Brandon’s wife, “It’s alright. Let bygones be bygones.”

With a faint smile on her face, Janet fiddled with her fingers uncomfortably She was truly upset.
Everyone was apologizing to her, but she was the furthest thing from happy

“Alas…”

This was the eighth time that Ethan had sighed this morning. He put his hand on his forehead, feeling
completely helpless and distressed, It seemed like he had been completely drowned by depression.

“Is Janet still angry with you? To be frank, I think it’s best for you to sort out any problems between the
two of you as soon as possible, alright? Your soul mood will make us all unhappy.” Garrett felt downcast.

As long as Ethan was upset, he would give his subordinates copious amounts of work to complete.

“She still doesn’t want to talk to me,” said Ethan in a gloomy voice. He always ended up feeling so
helpless when it came to Janet

Garrett unbuttoned two of his buttons and took a seat next to Ethan. After quite a lengthy consideration
of the situation, he said, “You’ve lied to her for so long. Of course, it is natural that she will be angry, but



you had done it for her own good. It’s not an unsolvable conflict. You’d better stay humble in front of her
now. After some time, I’m sure she will cool down and forgive you.”

Garrett thought that Janet’s anger was completely human and understandable. Back when Ethan and he
had been in school, Ethan always enjoyed fooling him.

Having first-hand experience with Ethan’s shenanigans, he completely understood the anger Janet was
feeling now. Ethan didn’t answer and instead just sighed in response. If only she would calm down and
forgive him. However, he feared that things were not that simple.
