Big Novel

Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 59
“What?” Mrs. Phelps’s facial expression immediately changed. “Sofia, I don't
know what you're talking about. Why would 1 betray you?” she chuckled as if the
mere idea of betraying Sofia was something comical. “Whoever is saying this
must know that you wanted me to become the next creative director and wanted
to ruin my reputation. But you already know that, right?”
Sofia pursed her lips, unable to understand why the woman seemed so calm.
Was it because she was innocent, or was she simply good at pretending? Sofia
knew it was the latter.
However, Mrs. Phelps’s calmness almost caught her off guard. If she were naive,
she would have immediately believed the woman. After all, Mrs. Phelps had been
working under the company for years. It would be reasonable if someone just
wanted to malign her.
Without saying another word, Sofia placed the folder on the table. She smiled at
the older woman. “Then please explain this
matter to me

opened the folder, and almost immediately her expression changed. The folder
contained not just so images from the CCTV showing her log-in on her computer
at the time the transaction was made.
“Actually, I thought the scheme was quite good...” Sofia said. “I almost did not
realize that something was wrong until I started monitoring my company
Mrs. Phelps squinted at the folder, flipping through the evidence. “I don’t know
how those got there, but this can’t be right. I would never betray the company.
Someone's trying to set me up.”
Sofia leaned forward, her eyes steady. “Mrs. Phelps, these aren't just random
accusations. We've got your transactions, your logins, and the CCTV footage. It's
pretty clear-cut. What's your explanation?
Mrs. Phelps stuttered for a moment, then composed herself. “L.I don't know how
those transactions got linked to me. Maybe someone’s using my credentials
without me knowing. This is a setup, Sofia
“Someone using your credentials to send confidential info to our competitors?
That sounds like a stretch. Why would anyone do that to you specifically?” Sofia
raised an eyebrow.
“I don't have an answer for that, but I'm innocent. You have to believe me, Sofia.”
“Mrs. Phelps, I trusted you. You were part of this company for over a decade. I
even considered promoting you. Why would someone frame you?” Sofia sighed,
her disappointment evident.
“L... I don’t know. But I didn’t do this. I swear.” Mrs. Phelps bit her lip, looking
genuinely perplexed.
“I want the truth. Are you involved in this, or are you really just an unfortunate
victim of a setup?” Sofia leaned back, studying Mrs. Phelps. She had more than
enough proof to nail this woman, but she was giving her the chance to explain
herself.
This was because Mrs. Phelps was one of the first workers of LH Design that
Eunice Lockhart loved so much. Eunice trusted the woman, and Sofia wanted to
know why Mrs. Phelps was willing to break that trust.
“I don’t know how this happened, but I didn't collude with anyone. I've given my
best to LH Design, and I would never jeopardize that.”
Sofia sneered. “You know... my mother trusted you so much.” Sonja knew that it
was Eunice herself who hired the first workers of LH Design. Her mother had
been proud of that fact. Yet you betrayed her...” Sofia suddenly placed more
evidence on the table..
This time, she knew it was over.

“It I don’t have these. I wouldn't have believed that you are working for them.”
Solta snorted.
The photos on the table captured moments that left little room for doubt. The first
one showed Mrs Phelps talking to a shady looking middleman in a dimly lit alley,
exchanging what seemed to be a bundle of papers. Sofia pointed at it, her
voice firm.
Explain this, Mrs Phelps What's happening in this picture?” Actually, Solia knew
what was happening in these pictures. Mrs. Phelps found it hard to send emails
using her company email or any other personal email.
So, she chose to print the documents. It would be cleaner that way.
Almost immediately, Mrs. Phelps stammered, her eyes flickering over the
incriminating image. “L... I don’t remember this. It must be doctored or
something”
Sofia shook her head, her patience waning. “These pictures are crystal clear, and
they match the time of the transactions.

“I can’t explain that. Maybe it's someone who looks like me,” Mrs Phelps
stammered, her defense faltering.
Someone who looks like you, making deals with our competition? Believable

“My lawyer has been made aware of this, and they are-

“Wouldn't it be good if the cops show up while you are in the church with your
family and friends and just... arrest you?”
Sofia smiled.
This time, Mrs. Phelps finally faltered. She paled, her eyes landing on the photos.
“Those are mere photos. Obviously, I also have a copy of the CCTV footage
nearby showing you driving your car in and out of that area. I have more than
enough proof to ruin your life.”
“I" Mrs. Phelps’s face now looked like a sheet of paper.
“Of course, I can opt not to file a case. I can consider the fact that you and my

She then turned towards Mrs. Phelps. “It is either that or you are going down
alone.”
“How did you know Mr. Oh is working with me?” Mrs. Phelps said.
