As if on cue, Sallie’s phone rang just as she finished speaking.
Lucinda winked at her and said in a sing-song voice, “Here comes the evidence.”
Sallie could barely hold her phone in her trembling hands. She pressed the answer button on the screen and brought it to her ear.
Before she could say hello to her leader, he scolded angrily, “How dare you! I thought you were a good worker and an honest woman.
I know all the bad things you’ve done. You ungrateful whore! Trust me, it’s over for you!”
“No. please let me explain…”
Sallie’s eyes were filled with tears as she explained anxiously, “Someone set me up, sir. Please, trust me!”
“Set you up? Do you really think I’m stupid?”
The man was so angry.
“Get your ass to the company right this instant. I’d like to see how you deny the evidence.”
Sallie opened her mouth to plead her case again, but the man had already hung up.
Sallie’s phone dropped to the ground. She looked at Lucinda now with pleading eyes, all the disdain from earlier gone.
Within half an hour, Lucinda had become the boss of all the car dealerships in this area and had found all the detailed information about her and Jax when they quarrelled.
Sallie was finally realizing that this woman was terrifying.
“Who. Who the hell are you?”
She stared at Lucinda in shock, while Lucinda just smiled arrogantly at her. She was standing, but her noble aura was hard to ignore.

Sallie realized at that moment that Lucinda was not just an orphan who got divorced later in life. She was something more.
“Lucinda. Please, forgive me,”
Salliecried, looking all humble now.
“I can’t afford to lose this job. Please let me go, I beg of you.”
Lucinda just watched her cry and plead, her face devoid of any emotion.
“I should have never humiliated you, I know that now. For the sake of our friendship in the past for so many years, please spare me. I can’t lose this job and lose my place in this industry.”
She kept bowing and crying to Lucinda.
It was as though she was a different person from the arrogant woman of earlier.
