Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 2257

Chapter 2257

As soon as Aubrey finished speaking, whispers began to circulate among the crowd.

"What do you mean came with Ms. Hall's recommendation?"

"I heard that too. Sonia wasn't qualified for our company, but her father owed Ms. Hall a favor. So, Ms. Hall wanted to return the favor by giving her a job. But Ms. Arnold didn't agree. Ms. Hall even went as far as to say that if Sonia messed up, she'd resign."

"Wow, she's really made a mess of things."

"We went through four rounds of interviews to get hired. I was thinking she must be something special if she got in without that. But here she is, causing such a huge mess right away."

"So far, I haven't seen her put her skills to work."

"There's only one bottle of S-type essential oil, and she's caused such a big mess. How is Ms. Hall going to handle this?"

"Why protect her? Ms. Hall can't even protect herself. She brought in Sonia through the back door. Shouldn't she take responsibility for the mess Sonia caused?"

Jaylene glanced at Stella, a smirk playing on her lips.

Stella didn't even bother looking at her, her gaze fixed on Aubrey. "Aubrey, I'm a bit confused. If you wanted to give her more exposure, shouldn't you have personally shown her what to do? Why send Sonia alone to a place she's not familiar with?"

Aubrey defended himself. "At that time, everyone was downstairs eating, and we were short-staffed. I had no choice but to send her. I have taken her there before, so she knows her way around."

Stella questioned, "If everyone was eating, it means the task wasn't urgent. Why did you choose a time when no one was around to send Sonia to fetch the items?"

Aubrey struggled to respond. Eventually, he frowned and said, "Ms. Hall, Sonia is the one who broke the item. Why are you interrogating me like this? Are you trying to protect her?"

Stella replied calmly, "I just want to understand the situation. I can't just take your word for it, can I?"

Aubrey grew irritated. "What do you mean, Ms. Hall? Are you accusing me of framing Sonia?"

"I didn't say that." Stella glanced at Darcie. "Aubrey has been talking all this time. Sonia hasn't had a chance to speak yet. Even in court, after a verdict, the defendant gets a chance to appeal. Why not let Sonia speak?"

Darcie looked at her. "No one's stopping her from speaking. Of course, she can speak. Has anyone stopped her from speaking? Ignoring Darcie's passive-aggressive tone, Stella turned to Sonia. "Sonia, did you break this bottle of essential oil?"

Sonia shook her head. Though her face was pale, she remained relatively composed. "I didn't touch it. By the time I saw it, it was already broken. I just crouched down to check, and someone else came in and started shouting."

Aubrey interjected, "At that time, you were the only one in the room, and the S-type essential oil was in the innermost compartment. If it wasn't you, who else could it have been? And when you found it broken, why didn't you come out and report it? Instead, you stayed there, moving the glass shards. Isn't that to cover up the evidence?"

Stella seized on the loophole in his words. "So, no one actually saw Sonia break the S-type essential oil?"

Aubrey hesitated, then quickly responded, "She was the only one in the whole room. If not her, then who?" Stella pointed upward. "But aren't there security cameras? Are they broken?
