Chapter 73: Chapter 73

"What did you say?" Sienna Quinn’s eyes widened as she looked at Sean Carter, watching him nod, and her body slowly slid down.

Today, she received notice from Danielle Carter, telling her she could return to work. Axel Yates had already persuaded the stubborn old folks, but as soon as she arrived at the office, she saw Sean Carter rush in, saying that the person responsible for the corporate espionage had been caught.

However, she never expected that this person turned out to be Dominic Lowell. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ n0velfire.net

"Even though it’s hard to believe it’s him, at least this matter is resolved now." The resolution of this issue exceeded his expectations as well, and during his investigation, he learned that it was Landon Lawson who proactively exposed the information to help Sienna clear her name, even at the cost of Lawson Group’s reputation.

Sean Carter, seeing Sienna’s face calm down, thought about it and decided not to tell her this.

Axel Yates pushed the door open, smiling warmly at Sienna.

Axel handed the flowers in his hand to Sienna, watching as she held them in her arms, her round little nose gently sniffing, with a hint of a smile in her beautiful eyes.

The sunlight from the window bathed the woman’s skin, making her already fair little face glow with a layer of fine gold, dazzling to the point that one couldn’t look away.

Her pearly white teeth slowly parted and closed, "President Yates is still so ceremonial."

"How can it be without ceremony when my capable assistant returns?" Axel Yates laughed softly, seeing the smile on her lips, feeling that what he did was worth it.

Sienna put the flowers away, her gaze directly meeting the gentlemanly man before her, a smile full of deeper meaning on her lips: "Tell me, what did you sacrifice?"

"You don’t need to play dumb with me. The board pressured you; without their consent, I couldn’t have returned. What did you sacrifice to get their agreement?"

Having mingled in the business world for so many years, those board members who only see interests wouldn’t consider personal feelings like Axel Yates. For them, money is the most real thing, and they wouldn’t reinstate someone suspected of betraying the company.

Axel hesitated for a moment, then laughed softly again, knowing there was no way to fool Sienna; such a clever woman would see through everything.

"I just used my position as President to threaten them, after all, I am the major shareholder of Yates Group."

Sienna frowned, thinking it couldn’t be so simple, but Axel’s continuous nodding didn’t seem fake, so she temporarily believed him.

"I just received the news that the person who sold out the company has been caught—it’s Dominic Lowell."

Speaking of Dominic Lowell, Axel Yates shook his head in disappointment. He was a long-time employee, yet inexplicably betrayed the company for such a small bribe this time.

It’s said the other party only used a mere hundred thousand yuan to make him do such a thing.

Sienna furrowed her brows, feeling this matter was not that simple.

"He has always been a straight-laced person, doing things by the book, how could he dare take such risks?" Having worked with him for a while, how could he muster such courage? Even in designing plans, he was so cautious, not daring to make any breakthrough.

Such an honest person, how could he dare to gamble? To give up a secure job for a mere hundred thousand yuan?

Axel Yates frowned as well; a hundred thousand yuan is indeed not enough to tempt someone.

Their eyes met, realizing there was something fishy going on.

"Hold a meeting; our battle isn’t over yet. The real fight has just begun." Sienna suddenly said to Sean Carter.

"Why did you do such a foolish thing?" Hector Warren sighed at Dominic Lowell, wondering how, at such a prime, honest stage in life, he made this choice.

Standing not far away, Chloe Langley crossed her arms, watching her former colleague, her heart filled with doubt. This matter had already spread like wildfire online.

It’s rumored that an investigative body looked into this, and it was the other party that exposed Dominic Lowell.

Dominic Lowell didn’t refute, further incriminated when an unexplained one hundred thousand yuan appeared in his bank account, heightening suspicions against him.

Dominic looked at Hector Warren, his lips opening and closing, wanting to speak several times but unable to utter a word.

Holding his belongings, he walked out of the office, avoiding eye contact with coworkers pointing and whispering about him.

"I can’t believe it was him."

"He let President Quinn take the blame for so long."

"Never thought he’d do such a thing."...

The whispers occasionally reached his ears, gripping the box until his knuckles turned white, enduring the torment of public gossip.

Just as he was walking out of the design department with the box, he ran into several people headed to a meeting.

"President Quinn!" Hector Warren, who had been following Dominic, was the first to see Sienna and the others.

Dominic looked up sharply at the mention of Sienna’s name, gazing at her beautiful face, his eyes filled with guilt.

"Pres... President Quinn."

"Why?" The cool voice made Dominic tremble, his eyes full of regret.

Sienna stepped forward, looking straight at Dominic: "A mere hundred thousand yuan wouldn’t make you do this, so why?"

"President Quinn, I’m sorry!"

Dominic tightly pursed his lips, lowering his head, not daring to meet Sienna’s eyes.

Seeing the man’s restrained demeanor, she knew no answers would come today. Since he made such a choice, he had to bear the consequences. Sienna couldn’t lessen them for him.

"Though I know it isn’t just for the hundred thousand yuan, it was your choice, so you have to bear getting caught. I hope you live better after this."

Sienna’s gentle voice reached him as she brushed past.

Dominic stopped, turning around to see Sienna’s indifferent back.

Sienna paused, turned, and saw the struggle in the man’s eyes.

"Be careful; someone’s plotting against you, and... I’m sorry for betraying your trust." Dominic bowed to Sienna.

Because of him, the company nearly lost business, and Sienna took the fall, faced online abuse, and her reputation was tarnished.

Today, he felt the humiliation she experienced, shamefully exposed to the public. How did a young woman like Sienna bear this alone?

Overwhelmed by remorse, he gave this warning.

The man left without looking back, career ended, as no company would hire someone with such a stain.
