After the last meeting, the team members once again found hope, and the team that had previously lost its momentum was now reinvigorated.
The big miss was a true leader in this regard. Her employees were not just employees, but in the end, they would be won over by her dazzling personality charm, becoming her devoted fans.
Today, Chloe was beaming with joy as she conducted the regular team meeting. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
She said, “Tonight, Ada Wang has agreed to meet with me. Regardless of the outcome, this is a promising start.”
The team members cheered with excitement!
Only Justin sat at the far end, with a smile on his face but no hint of joy in his eyes.
“Although we breached the contract first, I believe that Ms. Ada is not the kind of person who lacks flexibility. I am confident that my
latest proposal can outperform the Sawle Group. After she reviews it, she will be even more satisfied than with the first version.” Chloe confidently said.
“President Thorp! Can you show it to us as well?”
“I would love to show it to everyone right away, but after the incident last time, I have to be cautious. It’s not that I don’t trust all of you, but we are in a delicate situation, and there are too many eyes watching us from the outside.”
“As the General Manager of KS WORLD, I cannot let it fall into the same pit twice. So, please understand.”
Everyone understood President Thorp’s dilemma, expressing their hope for her success, eagerly anticipating a great performance.
In the evening, Chloe dined at a western restaurant, while Jordan was in her office, organizing documents for her.
After finishing the task, Jordan left her office while making a phone call.
As he left, Justin rushed into the General Manager’s office like a gust of wind.
Security was not particularly tight tonight, and he successfully entered Chloe’s private area.
He was aware that there were surveillance cameras everywhere, and his every move was closely monitored. But even if he had to face danger, he had no choice. He was running out of time.
If he couldn’t obtain the new proposal tonight, and Chloe managed to re-establish cooperation with Ada Wang, then he would never be able to avenge his girlfriend!
At this moment, Justin was completely blinded by so-called true love, utterly infatuated with Shelby.
He only wanted to please her and fulfill her desires. He would even commit crimes for her if she asked.
Using the flashlight on his phone, Justin conducted a quick and meticulous search of Chloe’s office.
He was confident that the proposal must still be in the office.
After all, Chloe hadn’t left the hotel yet, and Jordan had left without carrying a bag, so the proposal was likely still in the
office.
With sweat pouring down his forehead, he frantically searched through drawers and cabinets!
Finally, he found the proposal at the bottom of a towering stack of documents.
“Excellent… Just excellent!”
Justin held the document in his hands, tears of excitement welling up in his eyes as he muttered, “Shelby… I’ve avenged you. I’ve finally avenged your death!”
Click!
Suddenly, the entire office was flooded with light!
In the next moment, Jordan, accompanied by several bodyguards, entered the office and surrounded Justin.
With all eyes on him, Justin was completely dumbfounded, with no way to escape. He could only stand awkwardly in place, clutching the proposal in his hand.
He knew he would be discovered sooner or later.
But he never expected it to happen so quickly!
At this moment, the bodyguards formed a path on both sides, making way.
Chloe, dressed in a sharp and stylish black suit, wearing black stiletto heels with red soles, entered the office with an
imposing presence.
Her eyes were as sharp as a hawk’s, and she strode in like a senior inspector from a Hong Kong action movie.
Seeing Chloe appear in front of him, Justin’s body trembled uncontrollably. He was terrified, and if he said he wasn’t afraid, he would be lying.
“justin, do you know that corporate theft is still theft? With just those few sheets of paper in your hand, I can make sure you spend the rest of your life behind bars, and you’ll have to pay with your entire fortune.”
Jordan’s eyebrows furrowed, and a cold gleam flickered in his eyes. “Causing significant damage to the rightful owner of a business secret can result in imprisonment for up to three years or detention and, additionally, a fine. If the consequences are particularly severe, the sentence can be between three and ten years.”
Justin’s pupils trembled, taking a step back, almost losing his balance.
“Now, with all eyes on you and concrete evidence, do you have anything to say?”
Jordan recalled the suffering Miss Thorp had endured due to this troublemaker. His eyes reddened with anger, and he had already devised several plans for how to sentence him.
“I have nothing to say.”
Despite his fear, Justin’s love for Shelby overcame his fear, making him stand his ground against Chloe and Jordan. “I stole the proposal and sold it to the media. Everything was my doing, and I am willing to accept the consequences.”
Although he said he was willing to accept the consequences, there was clearly an underlying defiance in his voice.
Jordan clenched his teeth in frustration. Seeing Justin’s defiant attitude, he wanted to confront him with force.
“Everyone except Lin Secretary is waiting in the corridor.” Miss Thorp, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, her words filled with authority.
The bodyguards followed her command, swiftly exiting the room.
“justin, at this point, I can tell you everything.”
Chloe calmly walked to the sofa, picked up a piece of chocolate from a plate, removed the wrapper, and put it in her mouth. “In fact, from the very beginning, there was no new proposal, and I never scheduled a meeting with Ada Wang.”
“What… are you saying?” Justin asked, bewildered and shocked.
Miss Thorp chuckled, “If you don’t believe it, open and see for yourself.”
Shivering, Justin reluctantly flipped open the “proposal” in his hand.
Only to discover that, apart from the first page, the rest of the pages were blank.
He had just confessed to his crime, with all present as witnesses, and Jordan had recorded his confession with a voice recorder.
He had fallen into Miss Thorp’s trap!
“Chloe, how did you know it was me?!”
At this point, Justin was done with pretenses and asked straightforwardly, hoping for some clarity.
“Our KS Hotel is impenetrable from the outside, but it can only be taken advantage of from within when someone is disloyal.”
Chloe calmly chewed her chocolate, “After the incident, I knew there was a mole among the team members. I secretly tracked each one of you. But you remained very composed, keeping everything hidden and not contacting Shelby.”
“If I hadn’t set this trap to entice you into taking a risky step, you would have probably gone underground. It was difficult for me to catch you.”
“Do you… do you know Shelby? How did you find out?” Justin, despite his own predicament, was consumed with worry for his girlfriend.
“Ha, don’t forget who I am, President Thorp.” Jordan sneered, finding Justin’s question rather foolish.
Justin slumped, feeling utterly defeated.
Miss Thorp, the heiress of the Thorp family, was unimaginably wealthy, and there was no way he could hide Shelby from
her.
The enemy was overwhelmingly powerful, and it left him feeling hopeless….
“Justin, you’ve worked at KS WORLD for ten years. In that time, you’ve been diligent and have planned many high-quality events. Originally, I had planned to promote you to Director of the Planning Department by the end of this year.” Miss Thorp sighed with regret.
Justin’s pupils contracted in shock.
“For the sake of your so-called love, you sacrificed your bright future, and now you face the prospect of prison. Do you
think it was worth it?”
“Of course! I love her, and I’m willing to do anything for her!”
Justin’s expression suddenly turned sinister, and his eyes filled with madness as he took a step forward.
Chloe remained composed.
While Jordan was taken aback and instinctively stepped in front of her to protect her.
“Chloe! Stop pretending to be a good person!”
Justin glared at Miss Thorp’s stunning face, filled with resentment for his beloved Shelby. “I don’t want your mentorship! Everything I did… was for the sake of avenging Shelby!”
“It’s all because of you! Shelby’s father ended up in prison, and you ruined Shelby’s entire life!”
“You, this wicked capitalist, by letting go of a single partnership, you’ve gotten away too easily! In my eyes, you deserve to die!
