Chapter 165
Terrence raised an eyebrow, his gaze lightly sweeping over Lizzie’s face. He continued, “Starting today, Ms. Trevino, you’re back to your old position, continuing with the research work.”
“Boom!”
Even though she was prepared, when Terrence actually said this sentence, Lizzie’s nose suddenly tingled with excitement, and her eyes instantly warmed up!
No one knew, she waited for this one sentence to clear her name, to wash away her stain, she waited a lifetime!
The humiliation of the past life, those stains that gnawed at her day and night, were finally completely washed away in this moment!
Excited emotions were like a raging tide, almost drowning her!
She struggled to breathe, suppressing her excitement, her voice choked, “Thank you, commander!”
“Keep up the good work and continue to contribute to the country.”
Lizzie solemnly bowed to Terrence, “I swear to dedicate my whole life to the motherland!”
Johanna’s face was pale as a ghost, her eyes were red, and she was tightly gripping Theron’s clothes.
She whispered to Theron with a sense of grievance, “Theron, I can’t afford to lose this job. I have children to support, I…..”

Theron turned around and met her helpless gaze. Faced with Efren’s child, his heart softened once again.
He suppressed the complex emotions churning in his heart, turned to Terrence, and couldn’t help but plead for her.
“Commander, Johanna really needed this job.”
Terrence’s gaze was cold and sharp, “So what? Does that mean it’s okay to steal someone else’s work just because you need a job?”
His voice was not loud, but every word was powerful. Theron was instantly speechless, opening his mouth several times but unable to say a word.
After a while, Theron finally said awkwardly, “Commander, I know Johanna was wrong, so I want to use my own military record to save her job.”
As soon as he said that, he could clearly feel Lizzie’s gaze on him.
He didn’t dare to look at Lizzie. He knew that saying this would be like rubbing salt in Lizzie’s wound.
But he couldn’t help it. The gruesome image of Efren’s death kept playing in his mind. Johanna, Efren’s fiancee, was pregnant with his child. He had to ensure a worry–free life for them.
Although he could support them, what if he passed away?
Johanna really needed this job, so he had to hurt Lizzie again.
He looked at Lizzie, he promised it was the last time!
However, Lizzie didn’t even look at him, she was no longer sad because of him.

She didn’t stay here for too long, she applied to go to another research laboratory.
Terrence coldly stared at Theron and scolded, “Are you still pleading for others? Haven’t you thought about your own issues?”
Theron looked at Terrence in astonishment, “What’s the problem?” Is he going to be held accountable just because he was protecting Johanna?
His face suddenly turned ugly, the details that he had been ignoring just now, the way Terrence was holding Lizzie just now, now magnified in his mind!
Lizzie looked at Terrence slightly surprised, “Is he actually protecting me?”
Terrence stared at Theron and coldly asked, “How did Johanna steal Ms. Trevino’s research findings?”
Theron’s face changed, Johanna was able to steal Lizzie’s research results because he took Lizzie’s notes.
If they were still boyfriend and girlfriend, or even engaged, as long as Lizzie doesn’t make a big deal out of it, he’ll be fine. But now Lizzie is definitely going to make a big deal out of it!
Johanna immediately rushed out and stood in front of Theron, “What’s Lizzie’s problem with me, don’t drag Theron into this.”
Theron felt a strange touch in his heart, then heard Lizzie’s cold voice saying, “Do you think your self–sacrificing attitude is very affectionate and touching?”
Lizzie chuckled, “What do you mean by that? Are you trying to make yourself look good by highlighting my faults? And what do you mean by saying he stole my notebook just because of you?”

Theron froze, like he got shocked, and instinctively turned his head sharply, his eyes shooting straight towards Johanna beside him.
Johanna’s body tensed slightly, avoiding Theron’s gaze.
Theron realized he had been misled by Johanna again!
He suddenly felt a surge of indescribable fatigue. He realized he had married Johanna, and constantly had to think about whether she was deliberately leading him on with her words or being genuine. It made him feel especially tired.
He slowly looked away and turned to Lizzie, “Lizzie, I know I was wrong, I’m willing to accept whatever you decide to do with me.”
“Theron!” Johanna almost couldn’t control her volume.
He ignored Johanna, he finally realized how wrong he had been before, he just wants to make Lizzie happy now, he is willing to take on anything.
