Chapter 645

Charles believed he was the reason why Lily never married.
Grace nodded slightly in confirmation and couldn’t help but sigh internally. Madam Lily was a helpless romantic.
Charles clutched his chest, as if he was in so much pain that he could not breathe.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh. “Thank you, Miss Sherman. Can you give me her address?” Grace was in a difficult position.
Charles laughed self-deprecatingly. He lamented, “With my frail body, I can’t fly so far away to see her. Perhaps we won’t meet again in this life.
He added, “Miss Sherman. I just want to write her a letter. Would that be possible?”
Grace felt that revealing Madam Lily’s address was inappropriate. In the end, she thought of a compromise: Charles would write the letter, and she would send it to Madam Lily on his behalf.
Charles was grateful and said, “Miss Sherman, thank you for helping me so much. Is there anything you wish for? Just tell me. I will fulfill your wish as long as it is within my power.”
Grace knew that he would say this. She did not act pretentious and said honestly, “I wish to work with the West Group.
Charles agreed readily, saying, “That won’t be a problem. It’s the West Group’s honor to work with you.” After chatting about business matters, Charles arranged for a driver to send Grace home.
Grace and Carson discussed the project together with the West Group. After the contract was finalized, Carson took charge of the project.
It was Carson’s first time leading a project. Initially, he was often overwhelmed by the workload and frequently worked late.
He and Vivian had not seen each other for a long time. Vivian had also been busy preparing for the selection of the director of the Student Affairs Department.
Carson was hosting a meeting when he suddenly received a call from Vivian.
He glanced at his phone and picked up the call. Vivian sounded anxious as she said, “Carson, I…” Carson interrupted her, saying, “Vivian, I’m a little busy now. I’ll call you back when I’m done, okay?” Vivian felt a lump in her throat. When she heard Carson end the call, she pursed her lips and slowly lowered her phone from her ear.
In her office, her colleague
comforted her. “Vivian, don’t worry. I believe the truth will be brought to light The principal hasn’t said anything yet.”
Vivian felt like crying. This was the first time she had experienced being framed.
This morning, someone reported her for accepting bribes. When they inspected her belongings, they found 4,000 dollars in cash in the box of grounded coffee she had just bought.

Vivian had no idea what was going on. She did not know why there was so much cash in the unopened box of grounded coffee she had just bought.
She had an inkling that her colleagues were plotting against her behind her back, but she did not know who to suspect. Everyone seemed so sincere.
At this moment, an announcement appeared in the group chat.
Vivian looked at the announcement, and her face suddenly turned pale.
She was told to suspend all her classes while she was being investigated.
Her colleagues comforted her. “Vivian, don’t be sad. We all believe in you.”
Another person chimed in, “That’s right. The school will clear your name for something you didn’t do.” Vivian pursed her lips and glanced at them. Then, holding her phone, she headed straight to the principal’s office.
Vivian said, “Mr. Black, I’ve been
teaching for seven years and have never violated any rules. Do you think I would accept bribes? If I wanted to accept bribes, would do such a thing just as we are about to choose a director?”
The school principal, Jack Black, slowly sipped coffee and said, “Are you saying that someone framed
you?”
“Yes.”
