Chapter 200
Chloe, accompanied by Jordan, heard from Axel that Ada had left the show venue early, so she ran all the underground parking lot.
Ada was already seated in the van, her expression one of extreme displeasure.
As the car door slowly shut, a pair of white hands firmly grasped the side of the door and yanked it open!

“Lady Ada, I understand your frustration when you saw the trending topic, and I was equally upset that the photo was leaked by someone. KS WORLD had no knowledge of this!”
Chloe ran breathlessly and perspiringly to get here.
Ada looked at Chloe simperingly, her thirty years of acting experience allowing her to control her expression and emotions. with ease.
She kept her composure, yet remarked casually, “President Thorp, we have an agreement in place, so I understand that this may be news to you.”
“I’m sure you’re a very principled person, President Thorp, otherwise President Axel wouldn’t have held you in such high regard.”
Upon hearing this, Jordan’s eyes lit up, believing there was still room for negotiation.
However, the next second, Ada doused him and the young lady with cold water!
“Nevertheless, it is undeniable that there is a grave issue with KS WORLD’s confidentiality protocols. As the general manager, you have an obligation that you cannot evade.”
“This time, the layout of the wedding site was exposed. The next time it could be the information of the client. There’s an oversight in KS WORLD’s management that can’t be overlooked, which caused all of this to happen today. Do you concur, President Thorp?”
Damn! This woman only fed the unfamiliar information and she turned hostile, not recognizing anyone!
Jordan’s face flushed red as he ardently wished to speak up for the Young Lady.
No matter how harsh the words were to insult him or even the physical blows he received, he could bear it. Yet, he could not tolerate the Young Lady being questioned and criticized by others; he could not bear to see the girl he had watched grow up being wronged!
Chloe raised her hand to stop Jordan, taking a deep breath as she generously admitted her mistake.
“I apologize profusely, Lady Ada. We failed to handle this situation properly, allowing nefarious individuals to gain access and reveal the design of the wedding venue. As the head of the hotel, I must take responsibility for this mistake.”
Jordan’s eyes were “bloodshot,” and he clenched his fists in rage.
“If President Thorp can acknowledge her error, she is already far superior to many managers. However, breaching the contract is breaching the contract. Regardless of the justification, if the terms of the contract are violated, then I can only adhere to the contract and end the partnership with KS WORLD.”
“Otherwise, isn’t it pointless for us to sign the contract?”
Ada gave a slight smile and gestured for the agent to shut the door.
“Lady Ada, hold on a sec!”
Chloe took the box from Jordan and handed it to Ada. She was neither meek nor assertive. “I get why you decided to terminate our partnership. I totally understand.”
“Although we can’t collaborate, things have changed. I’ve got the snacks you requested last time. I’m here today just to give them to you. Please take them.”
Ada gazed at the box for a few moments, yet declined it. She simply uttered, “I’m grateful for President Thorp’s generosity. When we collaborate again, I’ll take them.”
Chloe clenched her teeth and watched, her fixed, as the

“Ada Wang, you rejected your present! It’s clearly embarrassing you! This is too much!” Jordan was livid, yet he couldn’t do anything to the woman.
Ultimately, they were in the erroneous position.
“I can comprehend why she acted this way, but it’s not a disgrace. The collaboration was overstated. She really has no justification to accept my present again.”
“Furthermore, her nuptials are fast approaching. Undoubtedly, she must be distressed by this turn of events. After all, she has to switch to a different hotel.”
Chloe inhaled deeply and quelled her agitated state. “Even if Ada isn’t pleased with our partnership, I won’t tolerate this attitude.”
“Let’s figure out who framed me.”
“Furthermore, there is a mole lurking among us.”
“A mole?!”
“Do you think it’s us… that the issue is within us? Is it Skyler’s fault?” Jordan asked quietly.
“Even if Skyler is plotting something, she won’t be able to accomplish it without any help from within or without. So, let’s first get our house in order.”
Chloe’s almond-shaped eyes gradually darkened, and her red lips curled up. “Heh, interesting. She’s plotted against this great aunt. If I don’t demonstrate my power, she won’t know what she’s up against!”
Despite the exaggeration of the cooperation, the great miss was not disheartened.
Losing Ada Wang, this big client, was not the most crucial issue; the priority was to identify the traitor in the hotel without delay, or else there would be endless trouble!
“Young Miss, this box of snacks…” Jordan was very upset.
Chloe’s long eyelashes quivered as she hurled the box in her hand into the garbage bin and, without a backward glance, departed.
“The present that was accepted by someone is a blessing. Anything not accepted is a waste. There’s no need to take back the gift I sent out. Let’s go.”
After the two had departed, a tall, straight figure emerged slowly from the shadows.
Joseph gazed at Chloe’s back as she departed, his star-filled eyes shimmering.
“Mr. Sawle,” Max sighed behind him, “it looks like Young Madam is about to be kept on her toes. It’s the toughest job to nab a mole!”

Joseph remained silent as he walked to the trash can, bending over
“Mr. Sawle! Don’t touch it, it’s too filthy!” Max was usually quite easy-going, but he couldn’t stand the sight of it any longer.
When had the haughty and noble Mr. President ever deigned to pick it up, even if it had been thrown by Young Madam!
“It’s alright. I’m no stranger to this; I’ve done it before when I was younger.”
Joseph’s lips parted slightly as he remembered the day he saw Chloe busily shaping pastries in the kitchen, stirring up a warmth in his heart.
“Let’s go.”
Chloe came back to KS WORLD and summoned the executives and the wedding planning team to an emergency meeting in the conference room.
