Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 208

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 208
“Let’s continue the meeting. What were you guys talking about?” Catherine interrupted him and looked at the crowd expressionlessly.

“We were talking about the design for the developmental project. Manager Jones came up with some designs. General Manager Chaplin and the rest of us feel that they’re quite good.” Deputy Manager Wolfe handed over the designs awkwardly.

Rebecca’s heart thumped. She never thought that Catherine would appear. Catherine would definitely recognize the designs.

However, it did not matter. Even if Catherine said that Rebecca stole the designs, no one would believe her. Instead, it would only provoke the executives into ridiculing her.

Catherine took the designs and then whispered a few words to Elle.

After Elle nodded and walked out, Catherine continued, “The designs are good. They were even printed at 1:00 a.m. this morning. Manager Jones, you must’ve stayed up late designing these.”

“Yes, Manager Jones said she hadn’t slept in several days.”

“Manager Jones works too hard.”

The meeting room resounded with compliments. Rebecca was very proud of herself. She had printed them that late on purpose. “Chairwoman Jones, what do you think of my designs?”

“The designs are very good. It just so happens that I lost an identical design draft half a month ago.” Catherine suddenly twisted her words.

Everyone was stunned, but Rebecca was not anxious. Instead, she pretended to be flustered and covered her mouth. “You don’t mean to imply that I copied you, right?”

“Chairwoman Jones, are you jealous of Manager Jones’ talent?” Larry sneered grimly. “Everyone knows that you sisters don’t get along, but there’s no need to involve the company in your competition.”

For a moment, everyone looked at Catherine with disdain. She was too petty to be a chairwoman.

“I knew you guys wouldn’t believe me.” Catherine breathed a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, I already reported it to the police ten days ago. My original design data at that time has been handed over to the police as well. They have a case record of it, so it’ll be clear when we check it.”

Rebecca panicked and quickly pretended to cry. “I’m just a measly manager. Chairwoman Jones, do you have to target me like this? I finished the designs a long time ago and simply printed them out late.”

Her soft look made many executives think that Catherine was deliberately targeting her.
