Chapter 1621
Emily’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Gavin with a surprised glance.
As the elevator reached the nineteenth floor, Gavin stepped out first. Emily’s heart was racing; she took a moment
to steady herself before following him. Upon reaching the conference room, representatives from companies under
the Iriver Group were arguing with Gavin’s assistant, asking why they had been kept waiting for so long with no one
to explain the situation.
The room fell silent when they saw Gavin and Emily entered together. Then, they pressed forward, bombarding
Gavin with questions.
“Mr. Gavin, have you investigated what Ms. Sullivan has done?”
“How can a massive company like James employ such a money-grubbing villain, especially one so close to Mr.
James? It’s ridiculous!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“How does Mr. James respond to this situation? Will it affect the upcoming bidding process?”
The room was filled with chatter, and all the eyes were on Emily, filled with disgust and hatred.
Gavin shielded Emily behind and said calmly. “Everyone, please remain calm. We don’t have concrete evidence to
prove that Ms. Sullivan leaked the bidding details to Horizon Enterprises. We need time to investigate this. And
please refrain from verbally attacking Ms. Sullivan. She is our employee and we will do our best to protect her
safety and reputation until we ascertain the truth. If any of you try to insult Ms. Sullivan, we will take legal action
and send legal notices to your companies”
Gavin paused for a while and then added, “This is also Mr. James’ instruction.”
His words silenced the crowd.
Suddenly, the Deputy President of Starlight Corporation scoffed, “With so much evidence, Mr. Gavin still insists
there’s no insufficient proof. What exactly would constitute sufficient evidence? Are you trying to protect Emily?
What is the relationship between Ms. Sullivan and Mr. Gavin?”
Gavin’s expression hardened. “I don’t need to explain that to Mr. Larry. If you don’t believe me, you’re free to leave
now. Even if we give this project to Horizon Enterprises, you have no right to question us.”
Mr. Larry had an unpleasant look on his face, but he didn’t leave or say anything further.
Emily spoke calmly, “This is a deliberate attempt to frame me. The content in those photos has been taken out of
context!”
Mr. Matz from the Iriver Group asked, “What about the three hundred thousand transaction from Horizon
Enterprises? Is that also a deliberate attempt to frame you?”
“Yes!” Emily responded firmly, “I do have a personal relationship with Mr. Walton from Horizon Enterprises, but it
has nothing to do with our business. As for the three hundred thousand dollars, I only served as an intermediary to
transfer it to someone else.”
“Do you have any evidence to prove it?” someone else shouted.
Emily unlocked her phone and found a call recording. She said “Mr. Walton asked me to transfer the three hundred
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthousand dollars to a friend. I was afraid of any potential misunderstandings, so I recorded the conversation. Please
feel free to listen.”
Emily played the call recording, which clearly captured the conversation between Betty and her. In the
conversation, Emily stated that the three hundred thousand dollars were intended for Betty on behalf of Wilson,
and Betty accepted it.
After the recording, Emily showed her transfer records to them.
The crowd exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
Mr. Larry sneered, “It’s possible that you’re being cautious. You recorded this in advance, and intentionally
transferring that sum of money for the sake of showing us today!”
Emily responded calmly, “If I were pursuing personal gain at the expense of the company’s interests, the company
wouldn’t allow it either! I will request the company to audit and monitor my account’s transaction records. Would
that put your minds at ease?”
The room fell silent. Mr. Larry continued, “Ms. Sullivan was able to explain the transaction record, but how do you
justify your family members receiving expensive gifts?”
Emily spoke with a determined tone, I’ll also investigate that.”
