After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 461 - 319: Text Message Reminder

And all eyes converged on Tang Xi, Fang Yuan, and Qian Lin.

After all, Jian Rui had said that only four people had entered her office, and it surely couldn’t be You Lili.

Fang Yuan’s face was pale as she quickly explained, "I didn’t take it. When I went to CEO Jian’s office, it was just to deliver a printed document. I left after one or two minutes."

She was just a university graduate experiencing these kinds of incidents for the first time, and her voice trembled as she spoke.

Tang Xi patted Fang Yuan on the shoulder and comforted her in a low voice, "It’s okay, don’t be afraid."

She knew it definitely wasn’t Fang Yuan who did it.

At this moment, Qian Lin began to speak, "I’ve been at the company for so long and have seen too many samples to count. Not to mention those worth 2 million, I’ve seen those valued at tens of millions. Do you remember last month? The sales department brought over a pink diamond necklace worth 12 million. We old employees have seen too many of these samples."

After Qian Lin finished speaking, Jian Rui also nodded in agreement.

Indeed, they saw this kind of sample many times a month, some even worth tens of millions.

If they had wanted to steal, they would have done it a long time ago, not waiting until now.

Gao Minjia looked pointedly at Fang Yuan and Tang Xi, "The thief is among you two. I suggest you confess voluntarily. CEO Jian has given you ten minutes."

The others also had an air of watching a good show unfold.

It seemed like they had recovered, after all, it didn’t concern them. Since they weren’t involved, they enjoyed watching others’ misfortune from a detached perspective.

Furthermore, such incidents of jewel sample theft had not occurred at the Fu Corporation for a long time.

This was the Fu Corporation, after all.

To think that an employee would dare to be so bold!

Tang Xi could feel the speculative gazes of everyone at this moment.

Suddenly, she recalled a message on her phone from earlier.

The expression on the woman’s face changed slightly.

Could it be...

Was this entire set-up aimed at her?

She raised her head and met Gao Minjia’s unguarded gaze.

That look seemed to say, "I’d like to see what you can do about it."

Tang Xi stood up abruptly, her gaze fixated on Gao Minjia’s face. She had considered that Gao Minjia might use some dirty tricks to retaliate against her, to set her up and make her life difficult.

But she hadn’t anticipated that Gao Minjia would so brazenly frame and entrap her like this.

Framing her for jewel theft—this wasn’t the first time such an incident had happened to her.

In the past, Su Mengshu had wronged her in the same way.

Because Tang Xi stood up in anger, Gao Minjia immediately pointed at her and exclaimed, "So it’s you, Tang Xi, you’re the thief!!"

A flash of surprise crossed Jian Rui’s eyes.

You Lili shouted, "Tang Xi, where’s the ring! Hand it over!"

In an instant, as if they had cemented Tang Xi’s guilt.

Her colleagues also began to ridicule her one after another.

"So it really was you who stole it, huh? These kinds of incidents never happened before, but as soon as you came, the diamond ring goes missing. It must have been you!"

"Tang Xi, you have no shame, to do something like this, stealing jewels—if this goes to the police, you could be facing seven or eight years in prison. We never thought we’d have a thief for a colleague!"

"I knew it was Tang Xi all along. Look at what she’s wearing—so plain and cheap. She’s just a poor wretch; when she saw such an expensive ring, of course, she wanted it for herself."

"Hurry up and hand over the ring, don’t implicate our design department, you’re embarrassing us!"

"Such an employee should be fired! Director You, I don’t want to work with a thief."

Fang Yuan quickly stood up and shouted in defense of Tang Xi, "No, it wasn’t Sister Tang Xi who stole it, I believe in Sister Tang Xi!" Fang Yuan glared at those making cold remarks. She looked at You Lili, "Director You, Sister Tang Xi isn’t that kind of person, she wouldn’t steal. Why don’t you suspect Qian Lin? Qian Lin also went to CEO Jian’s office, and so did you, Director You—all four of us are suspects!"

At these words, You Lili’s complexion turned very ugly.

And the other employees exchanged glances with each other.

Someone said, "Fang Yuan, what kind of nonsense are you spouting, how dare you accuse Director You now?"

"Yeah, Fang Yuan, we all know you are close with Tang Xi; you might even be an accomplice! We haven’t even said a word, and you’re already accusing the director. Do you know how much Director You earns a year? For a mere ring worth 2 million..." It was Gao Minjia who spoke, but suddenly her face changed and she didn’t continue.
