Jared had been watching her expression all the time.
Seeing her disappointed face, he felt sorry for her somehow.
However, her proposal was just mediocre. Although he felt sorry, he couldn't open a backdoor for her.
Trenton got the good news of securing the last spot for the business partner, laughing out happily.
He knew his plan well, so he wouldn't gain the place. However, he did.
He believed that Jared had dumped his principles and opened the backdoor for him for the sake of Makenna.
Thinking of that, Trenton looked at Jared in satisfaction.
Sure enough, Jared was his good son-in-law.
Jared frowned, wondering why Trenton was staring at him in that way.
Without overthinking, he pressed his lips and said indifferently, "I've decided the five business partners. Please come to the Farrell Group to sign the contract at this time tomorrow. Now, I'm showing you all the five proposals, so you will know why they've been chosen."
"That's a good idea," someone agreed while nodding.
Amber also agreed.
She also wanted to know what her proposal lacked compared to theirs.
However, when seeing the business plans projected by Ben, Amber gaped. "How could it be possible?" she yelled subconsciously.
Others looked over at her.
"What happened, Ms. Reed?" A man sitting next to her, asked in confusion.
Amber didn't answer him. Gazing at Trenton's plan on the screen, she asked, "Mr. Farrell, can you please tell me why my proposal is under Mr. Gardner's name?"
What?
Jared frowned, turned to look at the screen.
He looked at Trenton's proposal and didn't find anything wrong. He turned around and said, "That is Mr. Gardner's proposal."
The proposal shown on the screen was exactly the same as the one he had read yesterday.
However, Trenton looked a bit guilty.
In fact, when the proposals were projected on the screen, he found something wrong. The business proposal under his name wasn't written by him. Although he was surprised, he didn't say anything. After all, the decision had been made. Besides, he realized that he had gained the place of the business partner not because Jared had opened a backdoor for him but because of this proposal.
Hence, he would never admit the proposal wasn't written by him. However, he didn't expect the proposal to be Amber's. Also, she even told everyone immediately.
"Bullshit, Jared Farrell!" Amber heard Jared's confirmation, trembling in anger. She didn't call him Mr. Farrell but called his full name. "This is my proposal. Think you put Trenton Gardner's name on it and it will be his, huh?"
Upon hearing her words, others gaped.
Jared squinted. "Do you mean we've switched your proposal with Mr. Gardner's?"
"Haven't you?" Amber looked at him coldly. She was pretty excited. "I've never thought you would be so shameless. To make Trenton Gardner one of the business partners, you even played such a dirty trick."
If her proposal was lousy and filtered, she would accept the result.
However, the fact wasn't like this evidently. Her proposal was excellent. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been stolen by Trenton, who had also become the business partner because of it. Amber would never let go of this matter easily.
Looking at Amber, who was furious, and Trenton, who lowered his head in the sense of guilt, Jared knew what Amber said was true.
The proposal projected on the screen was written by Amber instead of Trenton.
How dare Trenton steal another person's proposal and pretend to be his!
Jared narrowed his eyes, his face expressionless.
But everyone could feel that he was angry.
"I didn't put his name on it," Jared said solemnly, looking at Amber.
