Ex-husband Goes Money Comes by Yvone Zabielski novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420 Sow Discord and Act on Hearsay

There was still one more week away from the wedding.

During the week, Viola was busy. Since the McGraw Group had just been handed over to her, there were still many projects left for her to learn about and perfect.

Fortunately, Ormand had helped her with the documents, hence the efficiency with which she handled everything.

The two went together to work in the McGraw Group as usual.

There was a laptop on the coffee table, where Ormand dealt with his work concerning the Hobson Group. And when he was not busy, he continued to help Viola sort out her documents.

When the two worked, they were both serious and focused.

A knock sounded.

It was in the afternoon. Viola’s assistant, Fernanda, knocked on the door of Viola’s office frantically.

“Ms. McGraw, something happened!”

When Fernanda pushed open the door and entered, she saw that Ormand was there. Fernanda became embarrassed and stopped speaking right off.

Viola stopped typing and turned to look at her. “It’s okay. Mr. Hobson is one of us. Just say it.”

Fernanda then summoned up the courage and started to report to Viola.

“Ms. McGraw, we’ve been planning the Cloud project all the while. And now a marketing plan has come out, which the marketing department is to put into effect today. But we’ve found…”

“What did you find?” Viola frowned.

Ormand stopped his work and looked up at Fernanda as well.

Noticing that Ormand was looking at her, Fernanda spoke in a smaller voice.

“A subsidiary company of the Hobson Group released a new project before we did. Their plan was exactly the same as ours. Now, because of this, the higher echelons of the McGraw Group are in an uproar. They suspect… suspect…”

Ormand asked calmly, “Are you suspecting that I stole the marketing plan of the Cloud project while I was here with Viola?”

Fernanda lowered her head and stopped talking.

That was her way of acquiescing.

The office fell silent for a short time.

Viola pondered about it and did not speak for a long time.

Fernanda added, “Ms. McGraw, now all the directors are in the conference hall voluntarily, requesting that you hold a temporary meeting to explain yourself a bit.”

The Cloud project was carefully prepared. It being plagiarized meant all the efforts everyone put into it were in vain. That was indeed very troublesome and needed to be treated properly.

Viola was thinking straight as she replied calmly, “Got it. I should explain myself for this a bit. I will be there in half an hour.”

“All right.”

After Fernanda left, the office quieted down again.

Ormand looked at Viola from afar. Her being serious and ignoring him made him feel a pain in his chest.

“Viola…”

He turned pale and hesitated before asking, “Do you suspect me as well?”

Viola didn’t say anything. Her thoughts weren’t on Ormand at all. She was typing now, seemingly arranging something.

Ormand felt even more wronged, his eyes reddening. “It wasn’t me.”

Clenching his fists, he tried to endure the suspicion.

Even if all the staff in the McGraw Group suspected him, it didn’t matter, as long as Viola didn’t.

Now, Viola had finished delegating jobs. She then looked up at Ormand.
