Chapter 514 A Logical Explanation
Everyone else had supported Elise, but Faye’s face darkened when she saw that. These old jerks! They support whoever has the advantage right now. All of them have forgotten how much money I earned for them throughout these years! Because of this little profit today, they have betrayed me completely. Ungrateful scums! When I officially take over Anderson Pharmaceuticals, the first thing I will do is to fire these stakeholders who have betrayed me!
However, she could not do anything at this moment.
“Mr. Anderson, it seems like everyone has agreed for Miss Yoona to represent your company to discuss our collaboration. Am I right?” Kenneth asked with a slight smile.
Austin nodded. After all, his current position in the company couldn’t be compared to the stakeholders, so he was unable to do anything but follow their wishes.
Kenneth pressed his lips into a smile and asked Elise, “In that case, Miss Yoona, shall we find a quiet spot to discuss the details of the collaboration?”
Elise eyed him before offering her hand to him. “It’s my pleasure to do so.”
After all, she had already accomplished her goals here and she had no interest in socializing with them either. It was a good opportunity for her to avoid them and have some peace. Hence, they entered the Anderson Family mansion.
As soon as they walked through the door, Elise withdrew her hand to sit on the couch to open his present. After she had shoved him aside, Kenneth froze for a brief moment and clenched his fingers as he helplessly sighed. Then, he followed her and sat beside her on the couch.
Elise saw a gold-plated USB drive when she opened the box. Holding the item in her hand, she asked, “What is this?”
“You will know after seeing the contents.” Kenneth crossed his legs with one hand on the couch and another on his lap, looking like a boss indeed.
Elise rolled her eyes at him and asked the servants to bring a laptop to her. When she received it, she immediately checked out the contents of the USB drive in front of him.
There was only one folder in the drive named ‘CM’. After she opened it, a few documents and pictures appeared.
Elise randomly opened one of the folders. However, her expression became grim the moment she looked at what was inside. She tried to take in the information for a bit before she raised her head to look at Kenneth again. “You’re investigating me?”
The reason for her question was because the picture showed a woman whom she had been anxiously looking for—Clemence Murray.
“It’s more accurate to say that I am investigating the person whom you want to investigate,” Kenneth replied calmly.
“What’s the difference? If you don’t investigate me, how do you know I’m looking for her?” Elise asked sarcastically.
“Perhaps it’s because I know you well enough.” Kenneth’s lips twitched into a chivalrous and polite smile.
“That is just your assumption. You better stop investigating me for no good reason. I don’t like it.” She felt as though she was being watched by the people behind SK Group.
Kenneth shrugged without replying to her.
In those few seconds of silence, Elise slowly regained her rationality. She did not hasten to quickly read the information in the USB drive and instead closed the window. Of course, she had erased all the traces that might be left behind. Looking at the dimmed screen, she asked again, “Why are you helping me?”
