Chapter 67: Chapter 67

Hector Warren was the oldest among them, and he knew Chloe Langley was just forcing a smile. How long had they spent designing that plan? And now they had handed it over, facilitating the cooperation between Lawson Group and HR Group.

None of them could swallow this anger.

Dominic Lowell kept his head down, his hand trembled as he held the chopsticks. There was food on the plate, but he just kept eating plain rice, silent.

Hector Warren patted his shoulder, "Don’t think too much about it. Take more rest if you’re unwell."

Dominic Lowell nodded without saying much.

"Manager Lowell, it’s really unfair for you all, working so hard for others, and to think that Sienna Quinn turned out to be this kind of person."

An employee nearby spoke to the three. Discover more novels at novelFɪre.net

"You guys carry on eating, I’m full." Dominic Lowell put down his chopsticks; it seemed impossible to finish the meal.

"Hey?" Chloe Langley watched Dominic Lowell’s departing figure; lately, he seemed odd. Even if the business negotiations failed, he shouldn’t be acting , almost as if accused of selling out the company himself.

"I always feel something is not quite right with him."

"Maybe he really is quite unwell," Hector Warren frowned, eyes flickering.

Vera Yates sat at home, having learned the situation from the project lead after the report ended that night. The success of her cunning scheme made her look somewhat menacing.

She pulled out a black card and sent an anonymous text to an entertainment outlet about the plan report from two days prior.

No one understands the direction and hype of public opinion better than Vera Yates. The internet can make someone famous or utterly destroy them. She was the former, but she intended to make Sienna Quinn the latter.

She paid to hire a swarm of influencers, who, as soon as the news broke, wildly reposted and commented, directing all public opinion at Sienna Quinn.

"Sienna Quinn is actually a corporate spy? And they call her a strong woman? That really insults the term."

"No wonder those photos of Sienna Quinn with Landon Lawson surfaced days ago, she definitely wanted to use this to win the man over."

"Did you know? Sienna Quinn is the daughter of the former president of Quinn Group, no wonder her parents died early, looking at their daughter’s character, it’s truly sinful."

"Quinn Group? Is the president, Tom Quinn, that one?"...

Online leaks grew increasingly numerous, as the news quickly topped the forum ranks, Vera Yates’ mouth curled into a cruel smile.

She aimed to completely destroy Sienna Quinn, ensuring she couldn’t stand beside Landon Lawson any longer.

Clara Quinn’s fingers furiously hammered the keyboard, completely unexpected, that Sienna Quinn’s comeuppance arrived so swiftly. On that day, she was still so arrogant towards her?

"Sienna Quinn could bully people from a young age; I was her classmate in elementary school. She often bullied classmates, relying on her family’s wealth and her dad being the president to act recklessly."

"Since young? No wonder she did such things."

Clara Quinn withdrew her hands; this "elementary school classmate" identity was quite handy. Online users really believe whatever’s said, acting as insiders, they casually believe whatever is spoken.

Landon Lawson sat in his office and called Nolan Shaw, and before long, the man entered.

"How’s the investigation I asked for going?"

"The people at Yates Group say we’ve stolen their design plan and even pointed the finger at your wife."

When Landon Lawson had Nolan Shaw investigate last time, he already knew roughly. Early on, knowing the designs of the two groups were similar, Nolan had questioned everyone in the project team one-on-one.

"Company staff mentioned that originally your plan wasn’t this, that afternoon the project team leader held a meeting, changing the design draft."

"Project team leader..." Landon Lawson pressed his lips together, his face tensed, standing up to leave.

Nolan Shaw followed closely, not daring to breathe heavily.

Landon Lawson was angry, and the consequences were dire.

The project team leader had been feeling anxious these days. While he helped the company take the project, he felt uneasy inside, recalling the expressions from Yates Group, shame sealed his lips.

With a loud noise, Landon Lawson pushed in, his gaze coldly fixed on the man.

"Pre... President Lawson!"

"Don’t you have something to say to me?" His icy voice lacked warmth, even Nolan Shaw trembled following beside.

"President Lawson, I don’t know what you want to ask," the man guiltily turned his head, avoiding eye contact with Landon Lawson.

Landon Lawson sat down, fingers lightly tapping the desk, addressing Nolan Shaw as he entered, "Guard the door, don’t let anyone in."

Nolan Shaw nodded and, before leaving, glanced at the man, realizing everyone knew, that Lawson Group insider was him.

Once Nolan Shaw left, Landon Lawson had the man sit down.

The man kept his head down, eyes shifting nervously.

"You’ve been by my side for several years, back when I took over the company within a year, I had few confidants, and you were among those few. I trust your abilities."

"President Lawson..." The man’s voice dropped, the more Landon said, the more guilty he felt.

"Why?" Landon Lawson’s gaze fixed on him, eyes full of disappointment, how could his person do this?

The man abruptly stood up, bowing his head low, "I... I don’t want to let President Lawson down."

"So you did this? This isn’t your character, so why?"

Nolan Shaw stood outside; nearby employees eyed him covertly. They all saw Landon Lawson go in, and Nolan was outside, preventing anyone from approaching.

"Looks like President Lawson is about to reward the manager; helping land such a big deal will surely mean a raise."

"Heard the other company accused us of plagiarism, how is that possible? Our group wouldn’t stoop so low."

Everyone continued to discuss non-stop.

Nolan Shaw smiled bitterly and shook his head, yet such disgraceful deeds did occur in their company.

The office door opened from inside, watching Landon Lawson come out.

"President Lawson, is it really him?"

Nolan Shaw knew the answer but couldn’t resist asking, after all, such incidents weren’t what they wanted to see.

Landon Lawson nodded.

"How could this happen? And from whom did he get the information?"

"I’m going to see someone."

Landon Lawson squinted; now he still had someone to see. Only by seeing her could he understand why this happened.

Nolan Shaw watched Landon Lawson leave silently, suddenly feeling sour inside.

Landon Lawson won the business, but lost Sienna Quinn. Now, no matter how he explained, it wouldn’t help; to Sienna, this incident was his doing.
