    　　Lauren was innocent, but she had nothing to say.

    　　All the evidence pointed to her. She wasn't stupid, maybe this was Terrence's ultimate goal. Make her stay away in the most brutal way possible.

    　　Marvin was frustrated and he scratched his head violently, the door was opened from the outside, and the man's familiar figure was revealed.

    　　"Mr. Gu," Marvin and the others saw the visitor clearly and immediately stood up to greet him.

    　　He stepped aside from the chair and said attentively, "President Gu, please sit down."

    　　Terrence walked around the center of the table and sat face to face with her.

    　　"I will take it from here, Marvin."

    　　Terrence gave the instructions lightly, as if he didn't feel the atmosphere caused by his appearance.

    　　Marvin nodded and stood up straight, but Lauren spoke out at this moment.

    　　"Mr. Gu, can we talk alo

    　　Everyone was gossiping, until Anna's sullen voice came from behind.

    　　"Don't you guys have work to do?"

    　　Anna came out of the office and was about to go to a meeting. When she saw three or five staff members gather to chat, her anger suddenly came up.

    　　"I reiterate that the Gu family does not employ idlers. If I find you chatting together again, be ready to hand in your resignations!"

    　　Everyone quickly turned into birds and beasts and dispersed. She wondered if it was an illusion, because Lauren felt that Anna's eyes were serious.

    　　When she was about to get off work in the afternoon, Naomi walked to Lauren with an expression of pain.

    　　"Sister Xu, I need to go to the restroom, but Anna just asked me to send her the meeting materials. Can you send them for me? I don't feel so good."

    　　Her colleagues also do the same, most of them call her siste

    　　She blurted out the words in her heart almost excitedly, and felt that she had said a little too much, so she quickly explained.

    　　"It's not because I care about you too much. I'm just afraid of losing you."

    　　Terrence smiled lightly, this was the only comfort he could give.

    　　Leonora sighed and went to take his arms. "Dad is forcing me to take over the company again, but I have no experience. He said that I should learn from you. Can I come to work at your company?"

    　　"Didn't you say you weren't interested in doing business?"

    　　"That was before, now I am interested again. Can I please come with you?"

    　　"It's your choice," the man replied in a pleasant voice.

    　　"Thank you, darling. You're the best," the woman suddenly smiled like a blossoming flower.

    　　After getting off work, Lauren took advantage of the two hours before the part-time job to go through the transfer formalities for Christine, but she was told that her mother had paid for the second half of the year.

    　　The teacher complained impatiently, "Christine had trouble with Kyle, and his parents came to the kindergarten to make a fuss. If Simeon's family didn't settle the matter, then this fee would barely be enough to compensate."

    　　Lauren was annoyed when the teacher told her the news but she was even angrier when the teacher acted like it was her fault.

    　　"I hope you'll treat the children fairly in the future, so that similar incidents won't happen again."

    　　After arguing with the teacher, Lauren took Christine and left the kindergarten.

    　　"Mom, I will be good, so don't be angry," Christine pouted her little mouth.

    　　"Don't worry, sweetie, as long as I see you every day, then I won't have any trouble."

    　　Lauren's heart is warm. Christine is her life, as long as Christine is well, nothing will defeat her.

    　　"Mom, let's also make a date for parent-child day in the future. Simeon said that his parent-child day is every Tuesday, they take him to the children's playground and then they have a nice meal."

    　　Seeing her daughter's innocent and pure smiling face, Lauren's heart clenched inexplicably. The lack of both parents will inevitably affect Christine as she grows up.

    　　After sending Christine back home, Lauren hurried to the Golden Palace to work part-time.

    　　When Lauren went to work on Wednesday, she felt the atmosphere as soon as she walked into the company building.

    　　It was gloomy and serious, and everyone was in a hurry.

    　　When she arrived at the elevators, she saw Terrence and Donny talking to a group of people from a distance. It seemed that there was an emergency and they were discussing a solution.

    　　The elevator door opened, and her gaze collided with his before she could withdraw her eyes. His eyes were focused on another matter which made him look mesmerizing.

    　　When she arrived at the evaluation department, there was another bouquet of flowers from Jonathan. A hundred blue flowers which still stood out just like last time.

    　　The flowers were placed in the corner by her, even if it wasn't intentional, it was still very noticeable, and it caused a lot of discussion among her colleagues.

    　　"Lauren, isn't President Tang going a bit too far with the flowers?"

    　　Naomi Qin's tone was somewhat reluctant, and she really didn't understand why Jonathan liked an ordinary woman like Lauren.

    　　"I really envy you, as long as you are a woman, you can't resist this kind of courtship."

    　　Hearing Naomi's words, a few female colleagues nearby quickly gathered around and started the gossiping before going to work.

    　　"If you like it, then take it. I'm allergic to pollen," Lauren's attitude towards Jonathan sending flowers was very negative.

    　　She really wants to be separated from the past, from Leonora, Terrence, and Jonathan.

    　　At this time, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the evaluation department.

    　　"Ms. Xu, please come with me."

    　　That person was Donny, his expression wasn't very good. Trouble was coming.

    　　Lauren thought of the complex look in Terrence's eyes back at the elevators, and her heart was a little confused. Is he finally going to fire her?

    　　"Is there anything I can do for you?"

    　　Lauren could only keep up with Donny's pace by jogging, and she didn't understand where his attitude came from.

    　　"Ms. Xu, the president is a very sentimental person, but that doesn't make him a kind person."

    　　Lauren was stunned. "What are you—?"

    　　Donny sneered and interrupted, "You'll know soon."

    　　At the Security Department of Gu's Building.

    　　The security team leader Marvin Jing and his two subordinates sat in the middle of the table, while Donny stood by with his chest folded and listened.

    　　Marvin's expression was very solemn. "Ms. Xu, from one to three o'clock last night, where were you, what did you do, and who you were with?"

    　　Lauren was astonished. "What happened exactly? I think I have the right to remain silent until I know what happened."

    　　Marvin explained, "Last night, someone sneaked into our database and stole a large amount of data from the company. The record from the card reader showed that you were the last one to swipe the employee pass to enter."

    　　"Employee pass?" Lauren began to panic. "I lost my employee pass—"

    　　Marvin looked at her sternly and he added, "Ms. Xu, we also have your fingerprints from the door."

    　　In a large company like Gu, every employee must give blood and fingerprint samples in order to prevent someone from leaking company secrets.

    　　Marvin took out the fingerprint samples he had collected, he said aggressively, "The fingerprints left on the door are exactly the same as yours."

    　　Lauren's eyes were red, and Marvin continued, "Ms. Xu, please cooperate with our investigation. I don't want to call the police. If this comes out, it won't be a good thing for you or the company."


　　Lauren was innocent, but she had nothing to say.

    　　All the evidence pointed to her. She wasn't stupid, maybe this was Terrence's ultimate goal. Make her stay away in the most brutal way possible.

    　　Terrence took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, he signaled wi
