ANMELDENThe sudden intrusion sent Lina into a state of chaotic panic. She scrambled to her feet, her chair scraping harshly against the floor as she pointed a trembling finger at Li Rui."Li Rui! What are you doing in here?" Lina shrieked, her voice cracking under the strain of her anxiety. "This is a high-level executive meeting involving trade secrets! Get out this instant!""Are you afraid I'll leak company secrets, or are you just afraid I'll expose your filth?" Li Rui retorted, her voice steady and cutting. She bypassed Lina entirely, fixing her gaze on Chloe Bishop. "President, the design drawings in your hand are not Lina’s work—""What nonsense are you spewing?" Lina cut her off again, attempting to seize the initiative through sheer volume. "If they aren't my work, are you suggesting they’re yours?"Lina was desperate to strike first, but she failed to realize that her frantic urgency was already sowing seeds of doubt among the board members. Unlike the trembling Lina, Li Rui stood h

"Everyone, take a look at the design drawings in my hand. These are the works of our Manager Lina. To be honest, her designs are truly breathtaking."Chloe Bishop began the session with a wave of exuberant praise, passing the design drafts around to the various high-level executives. As the board members looked them over, a chorus of admiration filled the room:"This is simply too beautiful. These jewelry sets will definitely be a massive hit once they hit the market.""Manager Lina's designs have never disappointed us, but this time, they are particularly eye-catching.""If my daughter saw these, she’d scramble to buy them. She’s a loyal fan of our brand and especially loves Lina’s work.""My daughter too..."Lina accepted the praise without a shred of guilt. A mysterious aura of confidence radiated from her, as if these designs truly were the product of her own talent.Chloe turned to Lina with a smile. "It seems everyone agrees with me. Since we all admire your work so much, Manage
Even in the face of her own reluctance, Chloe Bishop realized she had to relinquish her position and power regarding the Tang Group project. It was, after all, the "will of the people" in this room.Yang Li was eager to hammer the final nail into the coffin. "Director Vance, since President Bishop also agrees, the matter is settled. Please, do not decline again."Having gained a significant amount of face, Vance finally nodded slowly. "Since everyone trusts me so much, I will no longer refuse. I will do my best to make this project a success and live up to your trust. At the same time, I welcome everyone’s strict supervision."As his words fell, the meeting room erupted in applause.Li Rui and Shen Nan looked at Chloe with deep concern. They had expected her to stop this, yet she had nodded in agreement so quickly. Didn't she realize that handing this project to Vance would only make his faction more arrogant? It would be nearly impossible to suppress them later!Seeing that Chloe rem
The air in the boardroom was thick with the scent of expensive cologne and unspoken hostility. This time, the high-level executives had arrived earlier than Chloe Bishop. For the 9:00 AM meeting, they were all seated five minutes early. When Chloe walked in, there wasn't a single empty seat in the room."Good morning. Everyone seems to be in high spirits today, arriving so early and in such full force. I hope we can maintain this level of punctuality in the future."Chloe entered with a radiant smile, moving with a grace that masked her predatory intent as she took the head seat—the seat of the President.Upon hearing her words, Vance’s faction sneered inwardly. Everyone was here out of respect for Director Vance; what did it have to do with a little girl like Chloe?Without missing a beat, Chloe turned her gaze toward Vance. "Director Vance, I see you’ve returned to work. Is your health fully recovered? If you haven't completely convalesced, you can take another period of rest. You n
"Mhm, keep it up. I believe in you."Setting her phone aside, Chloe Bishop took a few bites of her breakfast bun. Suddenly, her phone chimed with a notification from her cycle-tracking app—it was time to prepare for her monthly period. Her cycle was usually punctual, and the app was a necessary reminder to keep supplies ready in her bag.Today of all days, I hope it doesn't start, Chloe thought. Cramps would definitely ruin my momentum.As the car neared the headquarters of the Bishop Group, she received a message from Leo Webb."I never expected you to be this kind of person. Our previous agreement is canceled. I will never join the Bishop Group in this lifetime."Chloe’s brow furrowed. After Chen Feifei and Sara Jay were taken to the police station the previous night, Leo had followed them. It was obvious they had spent the night poisoning his mind against her.She had already noticed Leo’s feelings for Chen Feifei, which was why she had shared her concerns with Donovan Tang.
