Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 537

The CEO's office had seen various occupants over time. First Harold, then Joseph's father, and now Joseph himself held the position.

Preston had never been given the opportunity to sit in that coveted seat.

Although Joseph had taken over Fairlight, he seldom came to the office. Despite this, Harold still trusted him enough not to pass on the CEO title to Preston.

Being told that he lacked the necessary abilities was tolerable for Preston. He had never been overly ambitious. Remaining within the Whitman Group and having a voice on the board of directors had been enough for him.

Yet, Joseph did not appreciate it. Preston gave an inch, yet Joseph wanted a mile. After expelling Jonathan, Joseph proceeded to strip him of his board position.

It was clear that Joseph intended to bring ruin to the family, and Preston knew he had to take action.

He knew that the CEO's office had a double-layered password, but he was not sure if Joseph had changed it or not. With a try-and-see attitude, he entered the password.

With a click, the door opened.

Preston peered into the office. It was pitch black inside, impossible to see what lay ahead. It felt like sinister ghosts lurked within, and once he stepped in, there would be no escape.

In spite of his apprehension, he pressed on, believing in the principle of "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." He blamed Joseph for the troubles he faced, and he was not going to let Joseph enjoy an easy life while causing him misery.

Preston knew the password to the safe. Harold had told him after Joseph's father passed, asking him to temporarily take over the Whitman Group. He smoothly obtained the documents from the safe. They contained various confidential data such as the chip project that would be announced at the end of the year.

He felt triumphant, never expecting Joseph to be so careless. He quickly copied the data onto a USB drive. While he could not take the chip with him or print it out, he took away the development team's data.

When he finally left, he sent a text to Otto.

"I got it."

Early the next morning, the chief secretary of the Whitman Group discovered signs of computer usage in the CEO's office and felt a sense of unease. He promptly informed Joseph about it.

Joseph's face sank as he responded calmly, "Go to the security room and check the surveillance footage. Find out who did it, report it to the police, and have them arrested."
