Chapter 474 

Frank was emitting a cold aura. 

It was rare for him to be in such a state. 

Charlotte was still downstairs at the Smith Group headquarters, and when she called him and mentioned what Paulina had said, he was a bit surprised. 

Paulina claimed she didn’t know Charlotte? 

When confirming Charlotte’s identity initially, a part of the investigation had been assigned to them. 

In other words, they knew as much about Charlotte as Frank himself did. 

Connecting the dots, Frank thought back to the misunderstanding with Charlotte caused by the delay in Alan’s information last time. 

Was it a genuine delay, or was it intentional? 

That matter was entrusted to Paulina to investigate. 

The person behind it couldn’t possibly be Alan. 

But whether it was Alan or Paulina, both had been with him for nearly 20 years… 

They must have become too complacent, daring to challenge him now! 

He had given them too much power, and now they dared to bully his woman! 

Hearing this, Alan was even more convinced of his suspicions. There was a moment of hesitation, but he finally braced himself and spoke up. “Last time when I was investigating Ms. Wilson, I initially had doubts about the authenticity of some information, so I withheld part of it.” 

He didn’t know why Frank suddenly brought up this issue, but he chose to take the blame for Paulina. 

After all, they had shared a past. 

After all, Paulina was inherently a proud person. 

If Frank knew it was Paulina who acted with ulterior motives, Paulina would be 

ruined. 

These people could make countless mistakes, but their bottom line was loyalty.

Frank’s gaze grew colder, clearly not believing a word and losing patience. He 

directly asked, “Do you know why, even though I knew you liked Paulina, I still had you both handle official business together?” 

“Frank…” 

Alan was shocked to realize that his feelings for Paulina were noticed by Frank. 

But he couldn’t deny it. 

The office was chilled by the air conditioning, yet sweat beaded on his forehead. For someone who was usually addressed as “Mr. Jameson,” he was now kneeling! 

“Frank, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have…” 

Shouldn’t have concealed things for Paulina time after time! 

But the words wouldn’t come out. 

It was no different from pushing Paulina into an irreversible abyss. 

At the very least, she would be kicked out, and at worst… Frank had never been merciful to betrayers. 

Frank stood leaning against the desk, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the surface. After staring at Alan for a few seconds, he reached for the office phone and dialed a 

number. 

The receptionist at SZ Technology answered quickly. “Mr. Smith!” 

Frank said calmly, “Get Paulina for me.” 

“Sure, Mr. Smith.” 

Moments later, Paulina’s voice came through. She spoke in her usual calm tone, indicating she was a good subordinate. “Frank, what’s the matter?” 

Frank replied, “Come to the Smith Group headquarters.” 

“Okay,” 

Paulina, sensing a subtle change in his tone, immediately stood up. “I’ll come over right now.”
