The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 229

Oscar didn't speak a word.

Arabella unplugged the USB from the computer, held it in her hand, and said with a smile, "I'll trade all the evidence I have for one answer from you."

Oscar was a bit tempted.

"You have three seconds to think about it."

"How do I know you didn't make a backup?" Oscar was enticed, but as an experienced guy, he stayed alert.

"If I said I didn't, then I didn't! If you don't believe me, you can check for yourself." Arabella tossed him the mouse. Oscar quickly checked with it, and it seemed there was no record of a backup.

Arabella swung the USB stick and started to count down: "One, two,"

Immediately, Oscar grabbed the USB. His anxious heart finally settled a bit. He laughed gloomily. "Little girl, as someone who's been around the block, I'm telling you, being too emotional isn't always a good thing."

Such important evidence, and she just handed it all over to him?

All for the truth about some sketches?

So young, so foolish!

"It's your turn to talk." Arabella watched him excitedly and said, "I swear, I didn't make a backup."

"If you're lying, karma will get you, and it won't end well!" Oscar demanded a promise from her.

"Okay."

Seeing the confidence in the young girl, Oscar was finally convinced. He leaned back again, showing his previously calm demeanor.

"The sketches were indeed given to Jason by me. That day, I saw you two leaving the office, so I used a spare key to get in."

At this point, Oscar revealed a cunning smile and said proudly, "Bet you didn't know your office had a spare key, huh? Actually, all the offices in the company have spare keys!"

"Oh." Arabella chuckled, coinciding with her own suspicion.

"I pretended to lose my own office key, went to the HR department, the guy was so slow at finding keys, I complained a few times, and then I looked for it myself. I took your office key while I was at it."

This also matched Arabella’s suspicion. At this point, Arabella gave a faint smile, waiting for him to dig his own grave.

"But I still don't understand. What did SY Fashion offer you to make you betray the company?"

Oscar laughed casually, "30% of the total sales! If it's a million, I can get a bonus of three hundred thousand! Isn't that better than working hard in the company?"

How much did he earn after working so hard for the company for a year?

This answer, Arabella had also seen it on his phone; she faked surprise and said, "That much?"

"Of course!" Oscar looked relaxed now, as if he thought he was the winner. "It's a shame you were too proud before, or I could have invited you to join. We could have made money together. Why bother working hard for the Collins family?"

"Has the Collins family treated you badly?" Arabella carried on with her topic.

"Good, good for what?" Oscar began to curse, not giving a damn about the Collins family: "They called me in to take charge of the company a year ago and gave me a salary of two thousand. I'm the CEO of this company, just two thousand dollars. Can you believe that?"

Arabella didn't seem to mind: "According to your records, you've only been working for a short period of time. A basic salary of two thousand is already high, not to mention other subsidies and rewards. Don't you get more than four thousand in hand?"

"Can that compare with three hundred thousand?" Oscar leaned back in his chair, looking nonchalant. "How many years of hard work would it take for me to earn three hundred thousand?"

But by cooperating with a rival company, he can easily get three million!
