[Volume 4]: Chapter 49 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

"Ifia, this document was clearly completed by you. Why won't you admit it!" After Ifia firmly expressed that she did not take part, the atmosphere became even tenser. Qinina, who was in the eye of the storm, was on the verge of losing it! It was unexpected that the seemingly obedient intern would actually backstab her like this! Due to the initial nod of acknowledgment, no matter how Qinina tried to argue, people couldn't believe that someone else had completed this document. Furthermore, Ifia's denial just made it seem like she was being stubborn. "Qinina, there's no need to argue anymore. Ifia is just a new intern. How could she possibly rush to complete your work? Even if you fabricate reasons, at least make them plausible!" "Miss Baron has always been unforgiving. She definitely won't let Qinina off easily this time." Qinina's accusation didn't succeed. Despite her fear of Baron Amelia's oppressive aura, the others in the office couldn't help but whisper and point fingers at Qinina. Subsequently, the gazes directed at Ifia were filled with pity, feeling that this new intern was extremely unlucky to be falsely accused. This left Ifia bewildered, looking at everyone, thinking she had only denied according to the agreement. Why did the atmosphere feel a bit strange? The system, secretly peeking, was somewhat shocked. Unexpectedly, the cunning Qinina experienced a backlash. However, the truth was, Qinina experiencing a backlash wasn't normal. After all, the documents Qinina handed to Ifia didn't have a submission deadline, and considering the host's mediocre level, it would've been easy for Qinina to notice if she had just looked closely. Plus, being able to work in the royal palace, Qinina naturally wasn't too dimwitted, at least to some extent, she would have checked. Unless she didn't have time to check. The system sneakily glanced at the villainess, saying she was quite the mischief-maker. With just a casual move, she made people obediently fall into the trap, unable to defend themselves. But fortunately, although the villainess outwardly disguised herself as pure and innocent, fooling her host thoroughly, she still carried an intimacy different from others. This entrapped the host within her circle and prevented others from bullying her. Thus, even though the host was affected by the saintly effect, resulting in some intellectual descent, it wasn't a major issue. The system didn't dare to stare at the villainess for too long, to avoid being detected by the perceptive demon, shifting its gaze to Qinina, feeling that this woman was getting what she deserved! As Qinina was being pointed at by everyone, she clenched her fists silently. Her excessive anger caused her light green eyes to widen and show specks of red, her whole body shaking uncontrollably. She shouldn't have provoked this intern! Unfortunately, regret was now irrelevant. She could only find a way to extract herself from this situation. Qinina quickly wracked her brain, soon coming up with a crucial point. "Miss Baron, the handwriting in this document is not mine. It can be compared with other documents." Even if the intern denied it, the handwriting couldn't be faked. Thinking up to this point, Qinina hurried back to her seat, randomly pulled out a few folders, then rushed back and laid them open on the table. She was trying hard to clear herself of any wrongdoing, addressing Baron Amelia and her colleagues, "Please look, my handwriting is completely…" Qinina's words defending herself suddenly stalled. She couldn't believe, as she looked at the two folders, that the handwriting on them was exactly the same. Impossible!!! The intern had only reported for duty last night. How could she have imitated her handwriting? Could it be…? "Miss Baron, it must be Ifia deliberately framing me. I've been wronged! Please, you…" "Alright, that's enough, Qinina. You don't need to continue defending yourself. Please leave." Before Qinina could continue, Baron Amelia interjected, her light tone carrying immense power, causing Qinina to break out in a cold sweat instantly. Due to her extreme fear, her mouth seemed stuck, unable to continue speaking. In the end, others couldn't bear it. Two people took the initiative to grab Qinina's arms, forcefully escorting her out of the office, preparing to hand her over to the human resources department and convey Miss Baron's decision. Qinina couldn't stay here anymore. After Qinina left, Baron Amelia casually motioned for everyone to continue working, as they dispersed, leaving Ifia standing there bewildered, full of doubt. Seeing this, Amelia suppressed her urge to smile. Instead of returning to her work, she walked toward the office door, passing by Ifia and saying, "Ifia, come out." "Okay." Thankfully, Ifia remembered that Amelia was now her superior. After promptly responding, she obediently followed Amelia out of the office. After they hadn't gone far, they stopped. Ifia looked around and, not finding anyone else, quickly asked the question on her mind, "Amelia, what exactly happened? I don't understand." "Did you write that document?" "…" Ifia had wanted to ask for the details of the situation, but she didn't expect Amelia to cut straight to the chase, making her body uncontrollably jolt. Then, she nervously stole a glance at Amelia, hastily trying to deny, "It wasn't me, I didn't do it. Don't make baseless accusations!" She immediately turned into a startled cat with its hackles raised. However, Amelia was too perceptive, utterly unfooled. "Ifia, I know you're kind and want to help others, but when helping others, you also need to see if the other party deserves it. Like Qinina, who just sees you as free labor, wanting to monopolize your achievements." "But, Qinina said that if she couldn't meet the work requirements, she would be persuaded to resign." Although she knew Amelia was speaking up for her, Ifia still felt somewhat soft-hearted, thinking that Qinina wasn't that bad. After all, she was just doing it to keep her job. "If you ask others, you'll find out that the office doesn't have a system for checking and there's no requirement that encourages resignations." "!!!" After Ifia had already come up with a reason for Qinina, upon hearing Amelia's explanation, she was shocked, her eyes widening. Darn it! Kind-hearted people are taken advantage of. Good horses are ridden by others. Qinina was truly despicable! "Amelia, Qinina lied to me!!!" Realizing she had been so kind-hearted for nothing, Ifia instantly became disheartened. In a pitiful appearance, looking like a child who had lost her candy, her bright eyes grew dull, and she lost her vigour. Seeing this, Amelia sighed helplessly, then stretched out her arms to Ifia's dismay. Standing against the sunlight, it was as if a halo rose from her head. This quickly stopped Ifia from feeling sorry for herself. Even though she had been deceived, she still had Amelia! () The next moment, Amelia, with her outstretched arms, successfully caught Ifia in an embrace. Ifia hugged her around the waist and started acting coquettishly. "Amelia, that identical handwriting, it must have been you! Hehe, I really like you the best. Let's just fire that annoying Qinina. I don't want to see her again." Amelia gently stroked Ifia's silky black hair and silently listened to her complaints, occasionally acknowledging her remarks, making Ifia feel like a device depleted of charge, quickly becoming full again. Bad people weren't worth her sadness. She refused to give up. Surely, she would find someone who genuinely needed help! Ifia was determined not to lose.
