He gave Lizzie one last look, turned around, walked away with stiff steps, and left the Trevino’s house.
As soon as he left, Emery quickly locked the door behind him.
Theron glanced back at the direction of the Trevino’s house, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart.
Lizzie didn’t push herself, she sat down with a cane first, then, Fredrick sat down at the old wooden table in the hall at Emery’s invitation.
Before Fredrick could speak, Lizzie said, “Fredrick, there’s something I didn’t tell you before.”
She looked at Fredrick, with a sincere gaze, without any hint of evasion.
“I actually had a job as a researcher at the Equinox Research Laboratory of Equinox Research Institute here, but I was falsely accused of plagiarism, and now the company is investigating.”
Fredrick just picked up on some things from the “few words” between Lizzie and Theron.
Lizzie didn’t finish, he just listened quietly.
It was actually a pretty big deal, but he seemed to have heard about it before, kept it in his heart countless times, felt uncomfortable for a long time, and now he’s very calm when he hears it again.
Lizzie was also very calm, “I didn’t tell you in advance, not intentionally hiding. Accusations will always be just ac- cusations, can’t become facts. I didn’t do it, I won’t admit defeat, I will definitely clear my name, just didn’t want you to worry, that’s why I didn’t say.”
Fredrick listened quietly, furrowing his brows slightly, then relaxing them again.
Lizzie really didn’t want to worry him, so she didn’t say anything.
She wasn’t afraid that he wouldn’t believe her. He was one of the few who believed in himself in his past life, trying to clear his name.
However, when the two met in their past lives, it had already been three years since the incident. Johanna had already used her research findings to establish herself at Equinox Research Laboratory.
But Lizzie still promised, “The result of this matter will only be me clearing my name, and I won’t let you be in a dif- ficult position.”
Fredrick used someone who may have had a tainted past, which was risky.
If he kept using Lizzie, and if the investigation didn’t turn out well for her, he would also be held responsible as the recommender and supervisor.

Fredrick also understood this truth.
Looking at the young girl with clear eyes and an open attitude in front of me, I was willing to believe her, and even hoped that she would clean up the stains soon.
It was like she finally cleared her name, something he had been waiting for his whole life.
“I believe you!”
Fredrick’s voice was calm, but also not calm.
He pushed the file bag in front of Lizzie and said, “The truth will come out, I believe the organization will investigate. This intermediate translator certificate, you earned it fair and square, you hold onto it!”
Lizzie slowly reached out her hand and touched the slightly rough file bag.
She slowly took out the certificate from inside.

It was a handwritten certificate, the paper was a bit yellowed, but the writing on it was strong and bold, with a bright red seal stamped on it.
“Intermediate translator” was the title.
Just a few simple words.
Lizzie’s fingertips gently touched those words, as if caressing a rare treasure.
In her past life, she was just a primary translator until she died because of the stain on her body.
Because of that stain that couldn’t be washed away, she could only struggle at the bottom, watching helplessly as her own glory was stolen by others.
More importantly, when she was in trouble and doubted by everyone, Fredrick chose to believe in her.
This trust meant more to her than the certificate itself, it really touched her.
Complex emotions were churning in my chest, a sour feeling shooting straight up my nose.
Everything in front of me started to blur.
Fredrick saw the little girl’s eyes turn red, and he felt a bit awkward.
He thought Lizzie felt guilty because she was worried about causing trouble for herself.
He slowed down his tone and quickly reassured, “Lizzie, don’t worry. I trust you, there won’t be any risks. Just focus on doing the translation well, translate more articles, and help me complete more tasks.”
He said it casually on purpose.
Lizzie shook her head hard and held back the tears.
She came back to life, everything will change, won’t walk the same old path as in the previous life, won’t let Fredrick

take any risks!
Lizzie took a moment to calm down, and the overwhelming emotions in her chest slowly subsided.
She raised her slightly red eyes, looked at Fredrick, and spoke with a hint of apology.
