Ste went upstairs, intending to share the good news with Matthew.


    Just as she was about to open the study door, she heard Matthew’s voice inside, talking on the phone.


    Ste paused, deciding to wait until he finished.


    But as she turned to leave, she caught the name “Devyn.


    ”


    “Thank you, Niki.


    If this involves Devyn, I’ll deal with her strictly.


    ”


    Ste immediately entered and asked Matthew, “What’s going on with Devyn? What is she involved with?”


    Matthew was taken by surprise when Ste came in unexpectedly.


    Quickly, he bid farewell to Niki and ended the call in a rush.


    Observing his rush, Ste grew more curious.


    Approaching him, she asked, “What’s going on? What did Devyn do?”


    Realizing he couldn’t keep it from her any longer, Matthew motioned for Ste to take a seat and shared his suspicions about Devyn.

    “No way!” Ste firmly objected to his suspicions.


    “You’re jumping to conclusions.


    Devyn wouldn’t do something like that.


    ”


    Matthew asked, “Why are you so certain?”


    Ste promptly responded, “Back when I worked at Prosperity Group, every time I was in trouble, she stood up for me without hesitation.


    Plus, she’s been putting in a lot of effort this time.


    I really don’t think there’s anything fishy about her.


    ”


    After a moment’s pause, she recalled that Devyn had indeed seemed differenttely, but she remained convinced that Devyn wouldn’t harm her.


    Matthew stayed silent.


    He turned on theputer, located a file, and rotated the screen toward Ste.


    “Take a look at this.


    ”


    It was all about what went down with Devyn in the past year.


    After reading it, Ste asked, “You investigated her? But it doesn’t prove anything.


    ”


    Matthew thought for a moment.


    “You know, Devyn’s strapped for cash.


    Her mom needs a kidney transnt, and her two brothers are into gambling.


    With all that stress, she might do some questionable stuff.


    ”


    Ste shook her head, refusing to believe him.


    “No way.


    She’s got dreams and integrity.


    She’d never pull something like that.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    ”


    Ste shut off theputer screen and said earnestly, “Quit doubting her.


    She’s striving hard to better her life.


    Plus, we didn’t witness the work she handed to Be, so weck concrete evidence.


    ”


    After speaking, she stood up and gave Matthew a serious look.


    “I failed, and I’m sad, but I can’t put the me on others for my failure.


    ”


    Matthew ced his hands on her shoulders to calm her down.


    He said calmly, “I know you’re reluctant to doubt her, and I also understand that Ick solid proof, so I had Niki test her.


    Now it’s up to you whether you want to test your friendship with her or not.
