The Lake family was unsettled by Sidharth's revenge, but Shehnaaz had lived a particularly comfortable life with everything provided.

About a week later, the wounds on her body gradually scabbed and fell out. However, due to the large number of wounds, there were still some light scars on her legs and hands.

When she returned to work, Josie saw it and couldn't help but curse angrily, "Sophia is really inhuman. How terrible it is to leave scars on your beautiful hands and legs. If it were in ancient times, you were disfigured and no one would marry you."

Shehnaaz smiled and comforted, "Don't worry. The doctor said that these scars would disappear after a while."

"That can't offset her evil deeds of intending to kill you! Damn it! Next time I see her, I will definitely cut her face with a knife."

Josie was still furious. She clearly remembered how frightened she was when she heard that Shehnaaz had been in a car accident a few days ago.

Obviously, she had never thought that Sophia would be so vicious.

"Alright, don't be angry. I'm fine now. Also, she has to answer for it. I won't let this matter go like this."

This time, Sophia not only enraged Sidharth, but also her. She would settle this debt with Sophia.
If she let it go, her surname would not be Gills.

"Of course! Vera will be returning home from abroad soon. Just wait. When she comes back, Sophia's good days will be over."

"What?" Shehnaaz's eyes suddenly lit up. "Vera is coming back?"

"Yes. The foreign business was coming to an end. Furthermore, she also knows what happened between you and Sophia, so she decided to come back."

At this point, memories came back to Josie. "Vera has been gone for three years, right? Good! The three of us can get together again."

Shehnaaz couldn't help but smile, "Yes, I miss her. Once Vera comes back, life may become more lively."

"Yes. When Vera comes back, there might be no way for Sophia to act arrogant in Benin City."

They chatted happily for a while before returning to their seats and working. The smile was still lingering on Shehnaaz's face. Obviously, the news of her good friend returning home had cheered her up.

***********

In the afternoon, Isabelle called Shehnaaz tothe office and asked with concern, "Are you all right?"

"Thank you for your concern, Isabelle. I'm fine now." Shehnaaz was touched and smiled at her.

Hearing this, Isabelle heaved a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're fine. You're my right-hand man. If something happens to you, it'll be my loss. What's wrong with Sophia? She has been a troublemaker since she came to the company. I didn't expect that she would be so vicious this time...."

"How did you know about this?"

Shehnaaz was a little surprised. Few people knew about the accident.

"I asked Josie."

Isabelle pursed her lips and looked at Shehnaaz in puzzlement. "Why don't you call the police? It is a case of attempted murder. If you can prove it with evidence,she will be sentenced to life
Imprisonment."

"I want to, but I have another plan for it. Don't worry. I will handle it." Shehnaaz comforted Isabelle with a smile but didn't say anything about her plan.

Isabelle was a smart person. Seeing that Shehnaaz didn't elaborate, she didn't ask anything. She just sighed and said, "Well, since you don't want to hold her responsible, let's leave it there then."

As she spoke, she paused as if something came to her mind. Suddenly, she said, "Right, something seems to have happened to the Lake Group these past two days."

"What is it?" Shehnaaz blinked in confusion.

"I'm not sure about the specifics. I heard from friends that the Lake Group seems to be looking for investments everywhere. It's said that they have a project, but for some unknown reason, it was shelved. The previous partner suddenly went back on their word. The Lake Group was on edge, so I don't think Sophia will trouble you in a short time."

Although Isabelle seemed to have no intention of mentioning it, there was a trace of probing in her words.

Evidently, Isabelle had guessed that the Lake Group was probably targeted.

The one who was capable of it must have a stronger and frightening background than that of the Lake Group.

Isabelle suspected that Shehnaaz might have something to do with this.

However, it was obvious that Shehnaaz didn't know about it. She looked surprised and puzzled.

"It's better if she leaves me alone. I can lead a quiet life"

After pondering for a moment, Shehnaaz didn't probe into the Lake Group. But Sidharth's figure flashed through her mind.

Isabelle nodded. Perhaps she was thinking too much. Although Shehnaaz's background was extraordinary, the Gills Group had always been on good terms with the Lake Group. It was unlikely that it would deliberately target the Lake Group, much less that the Gills Group couldn't get anything from it.

Thinking of this, Isabelle shook her head and changed the topic. "Let's not talk about this for the time being. Actually, I called you to give you a mission."

"What is that?"

"Do you remember that the company's annual party is in half a month?"

"Yes, I do." Shehnaaz nodded without much reaction.

Isabelle crossed her fingers and leaned on the table. She said softly, "You know that TEG's reputation has not been good recently. So, the company intends to use the annual party to improve the image. On the evening of the party, we will invite some celebrities in the industry, as well as entertainment bigwigs. And the Media Department was assigned to film the annual party all night."

"Isabelle, do you plan to give me full authority at this time?" Shehnaaz was not stupid. The moment she read between the lines, her scalp tightened.

"Exactly. You are already the deputy manager of the Media Department. Your position is the same as Rojin's. However, compared to her, I believe in your ability. You can do it well."

A teasing smile appeared on Isabelle's face, as if she was amused to see Shehnaaz's bitter smile.

Shehnaaz sighed helplessly, "I suddenly feel that promotion is not a good thing."

It's too late. You have no choice."

"So? Are you confident of doing it well?" Isabelle's smile widened.

"I will do my best." Shehnaaz was lost for words. But in the end, she could only accept it.

**************

Because of the annual party, Shehnaaz exerted all her energies in the next half month.

"Shehnaaz, to be honest, I hate to see you get promoted. With your promotion, you start to exploit me. Do you have a good conscience?" Josie complained.

"I can take care of you with a promotion. This is such a good opportunity to flatter me. You're the only one who dislikes it." Shehnaaz teased with a smile.

Josie looked at her with a sad expression. "Why not? If you are nice to me, don't give me a lot of work. Running around, I felt my legs were about to break."
