I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 615: Getting Cocky

Chapter 615: Chapter 615: Getting Cocky

The colleagues were just there to see what was happening, checking if there was any way they could help. They didn’t quite understand why Shi Jia had left so abruptly. They had initially been skeptical upon hearing about the leak of the proposal; they wanted to see with their own eyes if it was true. Once they arrived, they grasped the situation immediately without even delving into who was right or wrong.

It seemed highly likely that the incident was real. Now that Shi Jia was begging them, what could they do? They were just minor employees there to work; what notable thing could they do? Their power wasn’t as great as the boss’s. Should they beg for mercy on her behalf? If begging worked, she could just do it herself.

It was natural for the boss not to forgive. Some people shamelessly steal the project proposal, every page representing money, then sell it off for personal gain, leaving others to suffer; if they were in the same position, they certainly wouldn’t forgive easily either.

Who said that a few kowtows and promises of change would easily settle things? Where did such good fortune come from? This is what the employees believed internally, though they hadn’t voiced it out yet. They had spent days and nights together, after all, and had given Shi Jia some respect.

They hoped she wouldn’t push them too far. If she continued with shameless requests, they planned to just stand by and watch the drama unfold.

Regardless of anything, she should take responsibility for her actions instead of feeling faultless, thinking the boss should just accept his bad luck. Had she not thought things through at all? That’s what all her colleagues believed.

They should also consider that her actions were illegal. Seeing her colleagues icy cold, unwilling to deal with her, she realized there was no hope left, and couldn’t help but scoff. Since there was no hope, showing any kind of goodwill to them was meaningless.

After scoffing, Shi Jia pointed at a few people and sarcastically said, "You all think you’re so noble, just hogging your positions, trying to secure a spot to prove you contributed to this software, hoping to be remembered. Do you really think such good things will happen? Especially with Zhang Tao involved?

"You’re here laughing at me now, but if you had the chance to sell it yourselves, wouldn’t you be tempted? Do you know how much money that is? It’s enough to live a very wealthy life for over a decade. You just couldn’t seize the opportunity. My fate was just bad to be caught. If you don’t want to help me, then don’t."

"Anyway, I consider you all nothing but cold colleagues, just like robots. With people like you, I’m not inclined to associate. If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t work in the same place as you, I really wouldn’t bother with you at all. You don’t need to pretend to be anything more than you are."

After saying this, she seemed to lose all hope. Initially, Zhang Tao felt a twinge of compassion, thinking of asking the police to go easy on her, letting this young lady have a chance to make it on her own. Sometimes, people do lose their senses, and he didn’t want to push her to desperation.

But seeing what she was saying now, as if it was other people’s fault for not helping her, was laughable. How could he have thought such a thought? Zhang Tao felt disgusted with his previous idea. With a girl so sinister-hearted, she should face whatever was coming, wrongdoings meriting punishment.

He didn’t care anymore how much the stolen proposal was worth or how many years it could fetch according to the criminal law. By the looks of it, over twenty years seemed probable. What could she possibly do after twenty years? Probably just turn into an old woman, heh, all due to her own doing, unrelated to anyone else.

Zhang Tao then turned and left without saying a word, feeling that speaking another word to Shi Jia would be wasting his time. Shen Dong also noticed that the girl from the Shi family was quite venomous, not a very good-hearted person.

"Heh, I don’t need your forgiveness anymore. Now I just want to know how you found out that I sold the proposal. If I’m to die, I’ll die with a clear understanding. I can’t just be taken away without knowing why this is happening," Shi Jia said.

Shi Jia’s eyes scanned the crowd, seeking the betrayer. Her gaze was like that of a venomous snake in the dark stalking its prey—utterly terrifying.

Shen Dong found it amusing to see her still obsessed with finding out who the buyer was at this dire moment. Well, might as well tell her, it’s no big deal.

Just as Shen Dong was about to speak up, Shi Jia, seeming to have figured it out herself, rushed over and grabbed a woman by the shirt, forcing her down to the ground, and viciously said, "It was you, wasn’t it? I knew you kept watching my computer that day. You must have noticed what I was up to.

But why didn’t you stop me? Instead, you chose to stab me in the back. I know you’re jealous of me, jealous of my good relations with many colleagues, jealous of my close relationship with Mr. Lin who always helps me out. That’s why you backstabbed me, you malicious woman. I’ll make sure you die with me."

"I’ve lost everything now, so I’m not afraid. Let’s go to prison together," she declared.

After saying this, she pulled out a sharp object, oh, a small knife she had kept hidden in her pocket, unnoticed by others. Now, swiftly and sharply, she tried to stab the woman.

The scene became incredibly chaotic, fearing that the incident might truly come to pass would be disastrous. Everyone scrambled, and the woman struggled furiously. Fortunately, her strength was significant, and she was able to kick the attacker away, blurting out:

"Have you gone mad? When have I ever done such a thing? I didn’t even know when you sold the proposal. You’re blatantly framing me, and if I had known, I would have exposed you long ago. I wouldn’t have waited until now. It wasn’t me. You wrongdoer, even trying to shift your guilt onto someone else, you deserve your failure," she exclaimed.
