I Only Want You novel Chapter 218

"What's wrong? Are you afraid?" Holding her mobile phone, Haley looked at Elizabeth and said sarcastically, "Then tell me, why did you do this?"

Haley angrily interrupted Elizabeth, "Of course, even if you continue to make sophistry, you will have to compensate our studio for our losses. You broke the law, so you must be punished accordingly. So, we will definitely call the police! Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Elizabeth was a little annoyed. Then she took a deep breath and said to Lisa, "I didn't do this thing. Obviously you don't believe what I'm saying. But I have been wrongly accused. I do not accept such a frame-up. And, of course, I don't want to be arrested for something I didn't do. It would be bad for my reputation."

If they really called the police and she was arrested, she'll also be released after the investigation. But even if she was released, people would still misunderstand her because she had been arrested.

As for this, she was actually a little glad that they had not called the police before she came here. Otherwise, it was not a matter of whether she wanted to go or not.

Lisa frowned and took out a lady's cigarette from her trouser pocket. After a few puffs of smoke, she said to Elizabeth, "You still don't admit it now?" "I have not done that. Of course, I won't admit it!"

"Then what do you want?" Lisa asked.

"What does she want?" Haley said angrily, "She must have tried her best to shirk the responsibility!"

Elizabeth couldn't help but glare at Haley, and then said to Lisa, "There are still doubts in the matter. Why did all the surveillance videos disappear after I entered Amy's office? Obviously, someone is trying to plant this on me. Although I don't know who had a problem with me and thus framed me. But I want to get to the bottom of this."

Lisa lowered her eyes and looked at the cigarette, as if she was thinking.

After a while, she raised her eyelids and said, "You seem to make some sense. But how could you find that out? Can you do it yourself?"

"Whether it's on my own or asking for help, I want to give it a try!"

Lisa smiled and said, "What if you don't find it out? Do you want me to wait forever for you to find out about this? Kuture was scheduled to have this fashion show in 5 days. If you can't find out the truth, what should I tell the media?"

Elizabeth thought for a moment and then looked at Lisa seriously, "Didn't you say that there are still five days left? Give me two days. If I find the answer I want before that, then you can seek compensation from the person who did this. If..."

Elizabeth paused, "If I can't find that one within that period, then you can call the police and let them intervene in the investigation!" She knew that her proposal was actually only her own wishful thinking. If someone really wanted to frame her, it was impossible for her to find out the truth on her own. It was as if she was looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, she couldn't accept it. She really couldn't accept it!

At this time, someone couldn't help saying, "What if you run away?"

Then another person echoed, "That's right! Where are we going to find you then?"

"That's it!"

"Run away?" Elizabeth smiled, "I'm still in college. And don't you have so-called evidence of that? Even if I wanted to run away, I'm afraid I couldn't, right?"

"Okay!" Lisa nodded, "Then I'll give you two days!"

"Thank you!"

As soon as she walked out of the office building, Elizabeth felt that she suddenly lost all her strength. She felt uncertain, bewildered, and endlessly frightened, which made her powerless.

Thinking of what had just happened in Kuture, she couldn't help but shiver.

Her former colleagues looked at her in condemnation. Some of them were watching her jokes, while others were really angry. She also felt very sad when she thought about it. But fortunately, she got through it. Even in a situation like that, she managed to stay calm and not panic. But she couldn't figure out who would frame her like this.

She had always been very kind to others. She didn't understand why that person did it.

She walked alone on the road. There were a few empty taxis that were still pressing the horn at her and asking her if she wanted to take them. She ignored them. She wanted to walk and calm down. She wished she could organize her thoughts properly.

As soon as she sent the message, it was less than ten seconds before James called her. He said, "Do you miss me?"

Elizabeth didn't pretend to be reserved and said honestly, "Yes, I miss you. When will you come back?"

He did not answer, but asked, "Are you outside?"

"Well, I..." She thought for a moment and decided to let him go on a business trip without worry, "You know that Kuture will hold a fashion show. So I just went back to the office to work overtime."

"Oh, no wonder your voice sounds weak. Are you tired?" Elizabeth nodded, "Yes, a little bit."

"What a lousy studio! How dare they ask you to work overtime in the middle of the night!" He grumbled unhappily, and then said softly to her, "I'll be back tomorrow. Maybe in the afternoon."

"Have you finished your work?"

"Almost done." After that, he said in a low voice, "I hope you could pick me up from the airport."

Elizabeth thought that she didn't have to go to work in the next two days, so she replied softly, "Okay."

James obviously did not expect to get this answer, "You don't have to go to work?"

"I... could ask for leave to pick you up."

"Cool! Then I'll ask Samuel to book my flight and tell you the time."

Until she hung up the phone, Elizabeth didn't tell him anything about what happened tonight. She didn't want him to worry about her when he was so far away. Anyway, he would come back tomorrow.

Finally, she arrived at South Lake. As soon as she got on the bed, she received a message from James: I'll be in A City tomorrow at 2 pm.
