Chapter 4721 Leaked Project

Darcy hesitated for a moment and then nodded.Luca made a direct call to the general manager, but the other side did not answer, which was somewhat unusual. Although it was after working hours, the general manager would usually pick up, unless something urgent had happened.“Strange. The general manager isn’t picking up. It looks like he’s busy,” Darcy commented as she ate, but she started to feel uneasy.“How about I call the other managers?”Still worried, Luca picked up the phone to call the other manager. However, none of them answered.“What’s going on? Why aren’t any of the managers answering their calls? Did something happen at the company?”Luca had never encountered such a situation before. She could assume they were too busy to hear the phone ring if it were just one or two of them not answering, but the fact that all the managers were unreachable was alarming. Darcy anxiously took out her phone and dialed Kaze’s number. Sure enough, the call did not go through, and i

Chapter 4722 Deal With Them

“But isn’t that inappropriate? It comes off as being too insincere. I’m worried those bosses will be upset.”“We don’t have a choice. That’s the least of our worries right now.”Darcy had no choice but to make the arrangements that way. She did not want to miss this opportunity or for Kaze to be wrongfully accused.Seeing how resolved Darcy was, she felt uneasy, but there was nothing she could do. She had to follow orders. She immediately made a call to book the flight tickets, preparing to return that night itself.Darcy sat where she was, her appetite now lost. She could not understand what the people in the company were thinking by hiding the matter from her. Something so serious had happened, yet none of them had informed her.“It looks like my management has been too lax recently. They think I’m easy to deal with, and that’s why they had the nerve to handle things this way.”Darcy did not plan to let those people off just like that. She would deal with them properly.In no

Chapter 4723 Surveillance Footage

“You believe me?” Kaze looked at her with a hint of surprise.“If you had actually done it, I wouldn’t forgive you. But since you didn’t, I won’t wrongly accuse you either.”Darcy had always trusted her own judgment and knew that Kaze would not do such a thing. Kaze was still taken aback by her words. However, when he saw the confident smile on Darcy’s face, he realized that was just who she was. No matter what situation she faced, she always found a way to deal with it. She was always so clear-headed and independent. She might not know the full picture, but she would definitely uncover the truth.“Why didn’t you explain yourself? Why did you just admit it when you were accused?”Darcy was a little upset. She believed Kaze should not accept the blame and end up here since he had not done it.“They produced so-called evidence to prove that I did it. It was useless no matter how I explained myself.” Kaze sounded helpless.They found evidence to force him to admit it, but the wh

Chapter 4724 Lower His Guard

Darcy listened attentively before opening the surveillance footage and reviewing it. She quickly understood the situation. Still, she could not help feeling disappointed.When she took over as the CEO, she did not replace the managers. She believed climbing up from the bottom was no easy feat, and she wanted to give them a fair chance. Unfortunately, they had squandered their jobs. “It looks like this matter really is connected to Mr. Songbird. I’m curious. Where did he get the nerve to pull off something like this? Tell Mr. Songbird to see me tomorrow.”Darcy believed it was no simple matter. She even suspected that someone was backing him. After all, it was not long ago that Bert tried to get a project from Kaze. He had failed that time, but he did not give up.Still, his courage should only extend that far. He would never dare to frame someone, unless someone else was instructing him.Darcy knew her subordinates well and understood their ambitions. If used well, ambition could

Chapter 4725 Draw a Line

Luca smiled and said, “I’ll hold you to your word, Mr. Songbird.”Then, she picked up the coffee and nodded at Bert. Only then did Bert feel relieved as he headed into his office. He had been worried that the CEO had asked to meet with him because she had noticed something suspicious, but now it seemed he had overthought it. After all, the CEO was just a woman. How scheming could she really be? Surely she would not suspect him.In his smugness, Bert failed to notice certain details. The moment Luca saw him enter his office, she tossed the cup of coffee into the trash without taking a sip.Since Bert had the nerve to betray the company, he would not be kept around. He was bound to become a problem sooner or later. There was no way Luca would associate herself with him.She had prepared some documents, tidied everything up, and delivered them straight to Darcy’s office.Darcy had been working for half an hour. She knew the staff had arrived, and with the meeting already scheduled,

Chapter 4726 Indignant

Darcy was satisfied with the situation.Of course, she knew that the other managers were just fence-sitters. They must have helped Bert as well. However, the company still needed them to function. She could not replace too many at once. Thus, the only thing she could do now was kick Bert out.The other managers could be dealt with later. There was no need to rush.Darcy continued to stare coldly at the group before turning to look at the panicked Bert, asking, “Mr. Songbird, what do you have to say for yourself?”Since Darcy had laid out all the evidence, Bert had no way to deny it, even if he did not want to admit it. There was simply no way to refute it.“You knew all along. You set me up.”Bert was reluctant to admit defeat, but he had no choice. After all, the investigation had been done. If he denied it, the outcome would only be worse for him.Darcy, without a care that she was accused, responded bluntly, “Everything requires evidence. If I hadn’t investigated this, I woul
