Chapter 89 Let’s Go, Double–Oh Eight
“Am I right, Ms. Pate?” Grace looked at Nicole with a faint smile.
At being suddenly called out, Nicole smiled awkwardly. “You’re right, Ms. Lewis.”
As Grace fidgeted with her blue diamond ring on her finger, she looked at Nicole with a sharp gaze. “Why did you come in so late, Ms. Pate?”
“Me?” Nicole pointed at herself. “I went to the restroom. Can’t I attend to my nature calls?”
“I’m afraid it’s not as simple as a restroom break.” Grace took the documents Luke handed her and threw them all in front of Nicole.
“Weren’t you informing your men who were bottom–fishing Barnes‘ stock to stop?”
Albert picked up the documents. He only read one page and immediately realized what she
meant.
His voice became notably lower, like the calm before a storm. “Ms. Pate, please explain.”
Although there was a dense mass of documents in front of her, Nicole hadn’t even looked at them.
She was growing anxious, for she couldn’t believe that Grace had discovered her secret moves.
Grace smiled. “There is enough evidence here.”
“You intentionally leaked the nanorobots‘ source code after they were shared with Amirate.
“Then, you tipped off the stock market, causing panic among the investors and leading to a massive sell–off.
“With that, you were able toreap all the benefits and bottom–fish Barnes‘ stock.”
“She wouldn’t dare say these things without proof, Ms. Pate.”
Nicole quickly composed herself and began to defend her actions.
“Mr. Barnes, I had people bottom–fishing the stock to prevent it from falling into outsiders‘ hands. I really had no ulterior motives.”
Albert had never imagined that one of his trusted directors would backstab him right under
his nose.
What was worse, he hadn’t even noticed it. Instead, it had been exposed by one of his partners.
Calmly, he said, “Ms. Lewis, Mr. Hawkins, I will thoroughly investigate this and provide you with an explanation.”
