Chapter 521 Chapter 521 +25 BONUS Michael cut through the growing tension with a sharp tone.

Thats enough.

Todays meeting is over.

What matters tois your ability to do your job and make money for the company.

Your personal lives and relationships are of no interest toas CEO.

He started to walk away but paused after a few steps, gesturing for Troy .

Mr.

MacAfee, cto my office.

Id like to clarify a few details about the collaboration with you.

Troy smirked, glancing at Andrew with a look of triumph.

The unspoken message was clear.

So what if you caughtfooling around with Ruby? You cant touchif the CEO has my back.

Ruby stood to leave, but as she passed Lauren, she leaned in with a cold smile.

Ms.

Rhodes, I havent forgotten my grudge against you.

Be careful not to make a mistake youll regret for the rest of your life.

Lauren shot back without missing a beat.

Dont worry, Ms.

Dickinson.

Id be happy to send you back for another helping of prison meals on the house.

Rubys smile turned icy as she clicked away in her high heels, leaving the meeting room. The rest of the executives quickly followed suit, leaving only Andrew and Lauren behind. Laurens face darkened as she muttered, Ruby is a master manipulator.

Her specialty is seduction using her body to achieve her shady goals.

She clenched her fists.

Troy must have fallen for her act.

Hes probably completely under her spell now.

And as for that Amberpeak Corporation deal? The more I think about it, the more it screams fraud.

Andrews expression remained calm.

Its not just a fraud.

Its a complete fabrication not even a shred of it is real.

Lauren looked at him in surprise.

Dr.

Lloyd, what did you notice? She had suspicions about Ruby, but she could not make a strong case without concrete evidence.

Ruby had cprepared, even presenting what appeared to be authentic Amberpeak Corporation documents. Andrew smiled lightly.

Do you remember the questions I asked Ruby earlier ? Before Lauren could reply, Andrew continued, She answered smoothly, as if she had everything under control.

But to someone with expertise likeit was obvious she was trying to cover something up.

Lauren chuckled, amused.

Dr.

Lloyd, youre incredible.

So, tellhow did you see through her? Andrew smirked.

First, I asked about the specifics of the collaboration.

She dodged the details and instead threw out a flashy number two billion.

Its a figure designed to impress, but its all surface- level He leaned forward slightly.

Think about it, Lauren.

That two billion isnt an investment from Amberpeak Corporation.

Theyre expecting Rhodes Corporation to front the money, manufacture the products, and only then will they pay.

H Lauren nodded.

Exactly.

Its a classic scam, just like construction projects where theclient promises big payouts to get promises the Contractor to start work, only to vanish without paying a donce the job is done. The contractor ends up losing everything.

1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 521 Andrew continued, Now, if Amberpeak Corporations reputation and om credibility were genuinely behind this , it might convince spharmaceutical companies to take that risk. After all, they have a strong foundation and wouldnt usually default.

But, he added, his eyes narrowing, the real issue here is whether Ruby is truly an Amberpeak Corporation representative.

Lauren frowned.

She just got out of prison, and were supposed to believe shes suddenly earned the trust of Amberpeaks chairman? That sounds completely unrealistic. But she cprepared, she admitted, frustration creeping into her voice.

The documents she presented looked legitimate so convincing that I couldnt find a single flaw.

Andrew shrugged.

Lets assume, for arguments sake that she really does represent Amberpeak Corporation.

His voice took on a sharper edge.

The real red flag cwhen I checked the documents she mentioned about the pills Amberpeak Corporation supposedly wants us to manufacture.

Thats where the lie unraveled.
