"Hughes Group? That shouldn't be!" Leon was shocked when he flipped through the pages of the data report. It was clear that he never once imagined that the root of the problem would turn out to be the Hughes Group's production line! Besides, Darius was good friends with Yuri, and because the Thompsons were the ones who helped Elegante Group establish this connection with Hughes Group in the first place, there was no reason for Darius to sabotage them at all! Not only that, but the Hughes, like the Hiltons, was one of the most powerful families in the Southern region, and their influences were on par with each other. There was no reason to explain how Joel could have talked Darius into this! In conclusion, there was no logical explanation as to why Darius would help Joel sabotage Elegante Group at all! "Could this have anything to do with Gordon, Leon?" Snow said rather hesitantly when she sensed Leon's puzzlement. Gordon was her ex-boyfriend, and thus she was familiar with his

"Um, Darius, didn't we already establish that the manager was the culprit behind all this?" Gordon replied rather sheepishly. "Don't try to fool me! I want to know the truth! Tell me, honestly, if you were the one behind this, or were you even involved in this at all, even just a little?" Darius fixated his steely gaze on Gordon's face, his stare so intense that Gordon could not help shuddering. Darius knew full well that as the director of the department, Gordon was the only one who possessed full authority, and that there was no way a manager could have pulled off such an impressive feat by tampering with all of Elegante Group's products without anyone noticing! Even if he did so, there was no way he would be able to escape Gordon's hawklike eyes! Darius was certain that Gordon was at least involved in this somehow and likely received some advantage out of this! All in all, there was no way that Gordon was not responsible for any of this! "It wasn't me!" Gordon protested

"Well, alright then, if you insist." After some consideration, Leon finally decided to relent. After all, this debacle indeed cost Elegante Group a significant loss, and even almost cost them their reputation! Therefore, it made sense that Darius would want to offer a token of compensation, and he might as well take Darius up on his offer. "Yes, so that's settled then!" Darius let out a small sigh of relief. He understood that Leon's willingness to accept Hughes Group's compensation signified his intention to forgive them, and he could not help feeling relieved at this. With that, the two of them hung up the phone. Hiltons Corporation. After getting his hands on Elegante Group's trade secret, Joel returned immediately to the office and handed the documents over to the employees at the Research and Development Department to start producing imitates of Elegante Group's products. Hiltons Corporation was the largest business in the Southern region's cosmeceutical industr

"What's going on, Mister Shaw? Did you guys somehow leave out an important process or additive?" Joel's expression was dark. Now that the results proved Mister Shaw's initial hypothesis to be right, the only explanation he could think of was that the research and Development team forgot something crucial! There was no other possibility to explain this! "Well. no! That's impossible! We double and triple-checked everything during the the manufacturing process, and I can guarantee that nothing was left out!" Mister Shaw shook his head. On second thought, he recalled something and added, "However, one of the ingredients is purified water, and there's a possibility that this might be the crucial mistake." With that, Mister Shaw brought over the documents, pointed at one of the formulation processes, and began to briefly explain it to Joel. During the formulation of their products, Elegante Group added some purified water into the mixture, which at first glance, did not appear to be

In the lobby, Yuri stood tall and proud, with his spine straight and his hands behind his back. Behind him were a few of the Thompsons' best warriors and an old man dressed in green. This old man was one of the Thompsons' strongest fighters, a member of the Almighty Warriors! Knowing that the Hiltons were one of the most powerful influences in the Southern region, Yuri did not dare to show up at their territory without backup. Therefore, he specially made a detour back home to pick up this Almighty Warrior, which was why he took so long to arrive at Hiltons Corporation's office. All of a sudden, frantic footsteps rang out as Joel, followed by two of his guards, stormed into the lobby and came face-to-face with Yuri. "To what do I owe this pleasure, Mister Thompson?" Joel asked calmly. Although he already knew what Yuri was here for, he did not dare to reveal anything further about his involvement in this. "What do you think? Joel, let's cut to the chase—I'm here on beh
