Chapter 970 Beware of you enemy
Zack knew Anthony better, and reckoned that Anthony was using this method to make himself have no time to think about Mavis.
He looked at Anthony, and after a while he spoke, “Mr. Callahan, the person we sent over to keep an eye on Miss Buckner, seems to have noticed that there is something wrong with her.”
The movements of Anthony’s hands froze, and his expression became sullen.
Zack didn’t dare to say anything easily, so he could only let Anthony go and see for himself.
It would be fine to be someone else, but this person was Jaqueline. Anthony has always treated Jaqueline better than others, so Zack was very careful when he spoke.
“Where is she now?”
“Downstairs.”
Jaqueline just copied the contents of the computer to the USB flash drive, and before she could pull it out, she heard footsteps outside.
She deliberately slowed down, waiting for someone to come.
The footsteps were getting closer, and with a “snap”, the light was turned on.
Anthony looked at her indifferently and asked, “What are you doing?”
Before the computer could be completely turned off, the file was still on it.
Anthony glanced at the computer and said calmly, “Are you stealing files?”
Seeing this, Jaqueline did not quibble but directly admitted, “Otherwise?”
Compared with before, Jaqueline was not half gentle and pleasant now. Her eyes were dimmed. She stared at Anthony, trying her best to maintain her superficial calm.
She directly unplugged the USB flash drive from the computer and said “I’m sorry”. Then, she was about to run outside with the USB.
“Zack, stop her.”
A group of people who had been ordered hurriedly blocked her way out.
Looking at those people, Jaqueline knew she couldn’t escape.
Soon, Jaqueline, who was besieged, was brought to Anthony’s office, where he sat behind his desk, as if he was a prisoner interrogator.
“Sit down and talk.”
Jaqueline couldn’t bear it, so she could only say coldly, “No, I made a mistake. I just stand here.”
Hearing this, Anthony on the opposite side smiled lightly, as if mocking himself, “Everyone thinks that the spy is you, but I still choose to believe you. Jaqueline, am I treating you badly?”
His words sounded a bit frivolous, but in Jaqueline’s view, it was downright indifferent.
“I do it voluntarily. Anthony, you are not a fool. You should know my intentions, but you have always regarded me as a younger sister. Do you believe this? Is it because I look so much like that woman named Lyra? Ask yourself. Don’t you have any selfishness?”
Jaqueline was aggressive.
Facing her questioning, Anthony was somewhat unable to answer.
Was she a stand-in?
It was true.
But it was not completely true. Anthony thought that her character was not like Lyra’s at all.
“I promise your grandma that I will take good care of you.”
Hearing this, Jaqueline laughed out loud.
“Promise? She’s already dead. What’s the use of your promise? Will she come back to life because of your promise? Anthony, let’s be realistic. I will work for whoever benefits me more. Don’t you understand?”
At this point, Anthony stared at her face that looked so much like Lyra’s.
At this time, Jaqueline’s cold and hard temperament was a bit like her.
Soon, Zack checked Jaqueline’s previous USB drive.
“Mr. Callahan, everything has been checked. This is the core file we lost before. The date and everything… all match.”
Jaqueline stood there expressionlessly.
Things had come to this point. It was impossible for Jaqueline to stay in the Callahan Group.
Anthony felt chilled, and his face became even colder, “Since you did it, why did you join everyone to blame Mavis?”
“It’s easy.” Jaqueline sneered, “Isn’t it all because of you? Mavis is your wife. What can I do to defeat her? Only by destroying her from your heart can I have a chance, but I also blame that woman for being stupid. At this point, she still chose to confront you head-on. If I were her, I would not do this. Now you can see clearly I am such a shameless person.”
Jaqueline said, with not half of the usual soft-spoken appearance.
Anthony saw it, and his expression became more and more cold.
“Leave on your own, but the promise I made is still valid. You saved me. You can stay in Suham. That apartment is my thank you gift for saving my life.”
From now on, he won’t take care of her business anymore.
Jaqueline’s heart softened for a while.
She shook her head. “No, I don’t want to stay. Just follow the normal process.”
Anthony narrowed his blue enchanting eyes. “Are you sure?”
“I’m sure. I’m just a substitute, and I won’t get anything if I stay here.”
“Well, just go. I will deal with the company’s board of directors. Disappear as soon as possible.”
Jaqueline smiled. “Farewell.”
After finishing speaking, she turned and walked towards the door, but just halfway there, her tears fell down.
As soon as Anthony lit a cigarette, he saw the figure jumping directly at him. Jaqueline hugged his arm and sobbed softly.
He didn’t move, and his face was expressionless.
Jaqueline cried and whispered, “I still have something to tell you.”
“Be careful of your enemy recently.”
She just wanted to leave Anthony temporarily, so she wanted to leave a way out for herself.
After explaining, Jaqueline left without looking back.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
The incident caused quite a stir in the boardroom, which should have been kept secret.
However, several gossipy shareholders did not listen to Anthony’s advice, but wanted to make a big deal out of it, making everyone in the company know about it.
Jaqueline was beautiful and pure, and they had been planning for a long time, wanting to take this opportunity to catch her in order to get something.
But unexpectedly, Jaqueline had already left Suham. They guessed that Anthony did it. Even Anthony knew the secret of Jaqueline’s stealing documents, but he didn’t tell it.
The shareholders acted on hearsay. They discussed and felt that Jaqueline’s departure was strange, so they embarrassed Anthony, and even began to secretly transfer their own shares.
The shareholders’ behavior soon alarmed Anthony.
“Interesting.” Anthony just sneered, completely dismissing it.
When his bodyguards found them, they were chatting in the ballroom.
The middle-aged men were brought to Anthony before they even had time to put on their pants.
In the private room, the man drank the red wine in his glass, crossed his slender legs, and looked at the few people in front of him with interest.
These people were all new shareholders of the company. He heard that the software development that Callahan Group was doing now had a good prospect, so he actively asked to join. Anthony was not optimistic about the three of them at the time, but the new round of financing was coming. The Callahan Group had to have the capital to start with, so he agreed.
The man looked at the three people in front of him with a smile and said lightly, “Mr. Thomas, Mr. Richardson, Mr. Bass, I didn’t expect you to be so impatient. Callahan Group is still fine, but you have started thinking about stealing the shares secretly.”
He was like a friendly-looking villain. There was nothing serious in what he said, but his light tone made people fearful.
