Chapter 17
Although Alfredo believed Aaliyah and was willing to tale the risk of impacting the company’s stock price to save her, Aaliyah didn’t want to put Alfredo In a difficult position because of this matter. She resigned herself and took full responsibility for the plagiarism incident.
When Aaliyah was packing up her things, everyone felt a little reluctant.
They completely believed Aaliyah regarding the plagiarism issue.
With Aaliyah’s ability, there was no need for her to resort to plagiarism.
When Alfredo came back from the board meeting, he saw Aaliyah packing up and quickly walked over to stop her.
“I will explain to the board of directors, you are the victim in this matter, how can I let you bear the blame. If you are labeled as a plagiarist, how will you establish yourself in the industry in the future.”
Aaliyah was very grateful and touched by Alfredo’s support, but she really didn’t want to burden him
Because of this matter, although Alfredo was the second youngest in the Chaney Group, he was also held accountable by the directors multiple times and spent several consecutive nights staying up late to handle this matter.
“Alfredo, thank you. Over the years, I have also saved some money from work, and I want to talor a break for a while.”
Alfredo wanted to reconcile, but he was rejected by Aaliyah
“Then you take a break for a while, wait until the heat of this matter passes, and then I will let you come back.”
Looking at Aaliyah’s exhausted face, Alfredo thought it would be good for Aaliyah to take a break for a while.
Alfredo was afraid that Aaliyah would become bored and overthink things at home after quitting her job. He would often come to see Aaliyah and forcefully take her out to relax and clear her mind.
Aaliyah couldn’t resist Alfredo, and with being stuck at home, Saul Selah was also very worried and didn’t refuse Alfredo’s Invitation.
As time went by, Aaliyah’s attitude towards Alfredo also softened.
Today was no exception, Alfredo made a reservation at a restaurant and invited Aaliyals to have dinner together.
The restaurant was located on a high building by the river. Looking out from the restaurant, there was a great view of the river, Aaliyah ate her meal while gazing at the river view, feeling much better in her mood.
Aaliyah was about to say that the restaurant was empty today when she saw Alfredo holding flowers and carrying a jewelry box, kneeling down on one

“Aaliyah, I liked you, could you be with me?”
Alfredo opened the box while speaking, revealing
vealing the diamond bracelet inside.
“This was designed by me for you, Aaliyal Don’t reject the, okay?”
Aaliyah actually accepted Alfredo during deir long time together, and what’s more, her ameja was like a chance given by the heavens, allowing her to let go of things that didn’t belong to her and start a new life.
So when Alfredo confessed his feelings to her, she took the flowers and responded to Alfredo
“Okay.”
Alfredo didn’t expect Aaliyah to agree, and for a moment, he stood there in shock. It was Aaliyah who spoke best, saying, “Won’t you put the bracelet on
Alfredo frantically took out a bracelet from the box and carefully put it on Aaliyah’s wrist After putting it on, he trembled as he kissed the scar left on Aaliyah’s forearm.
“I, Alfredo, swore that I would always love Aaliyalı‘
When Aaliyah got home, her head was still spinning. She looked at the bracelet on her wrist, and that trembling kiss seemed to still be lingering on it,
