Chapter 136
However, these numbers were something that Kimberly couldn’t possibly come up with.
Suddenly, Aurelia thought of someone and turned her head to look.
Millie kept her head down and dared not meet Aurelia’s gaze.
It was Millie, of all people.
Millie was Aurelia’s good friend. When she faced problems, she would come to Aurelia’s computer to find reference cases.
Aurelia didn’t mind, so she would directly tell Millie the password, allowing her to explore cases and gain experience to stand on her own sooner.
She never expected that Millie would stab her in the back. Pointing at the screen, Kimberly said, “Aurelia, do you have anything to say?”
Aurelia retorted, “I didn’t plagiarize. You couldn’t even present without a script during the meeting. How can you prove it’s your proposal? One Technology boss isn’t stupid. He can judge.”
“| was just too nervous. Moreover, do you really think that robot can make any judgment? One Technology’s boss must have judged incorrectly because of it,” Kimberly spoke firmly, sharing a similar disdain for technology with Zachary.
To them, the robot was just a lifeless matter.
Aurelia paused, realizing that arguing further was pointless.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She insisted, “If you don’t believe me, then let's confront One Technology.”
Kimberly and Zachary stiffened for a moment but quickly relaxed.
Kimberly turned to the boss and said, “Sir, | also want to confront them, but today’s meeting has already left them somewhat dissatisfied with us. If we need the other party to solve internal issues, what would our clients think about you?”
Zachary considered the bigger picture and added, “Boss, it's my failure to control Aurelia. However, today’s matter can’t be blown out of proportion. I’m worried it will be seized upon by competitors if we make a big deal out of it.”
The boss instantly became stern and his gaze swept over Aurelia with displeasure. “This matter is not to be brought up again. Aren't we embarrassed enough? Aurelia signed the contract and I'll consider it a way to make amends, but let it be a one-time exception.”
Aurelia was stunned. On first hearing, it seemed the boss wasn’t going to pursue it further. But in reality, he had tacitly accepted the notion that Aurelia had plagiarized.
“No! | didn't...”
“Aurelia, correct your attitude and know your place. If you want to continue at Young Advertising, reflect on yourself. If you want to leave, | won't stop you,” the boss sternly warned.
Aurelia paled.

She understood that the boss was threatening her. If the situation escalated any further, she would be fired.
She was just an ordinary person and if she was fired for plagiarism, no other company would ever hire her.
She asked the boss, “Sir, do you really think that Kimberly wrote this proposal?” The boss frowned in silence and left with the others. Her heart sank.
The boss was a wise and perspective person. After reading countless proposals submitted by her and Kimberly in the past, there was no way that he didn’t know how limited Kimberly's abilities were.
However, Kimberly had a powerful background and her uncle had a business collaboration with the boss. He knew what was more important.
He merely punished Aurelia to shut her up and prevent her from mentioning this incident.
She stood frozen in place, surrounded by eyes of disdain and mockery.
Kimberly, who was playing the victim just a moment ago, leaned on the desk and smirked at her.
It was almost as though she was saying, “Aurelia, | told you not to waste your time. You can’t beat me.”
