59 Slap in the Face
Upon hearing that statement, the room fell abruptly
into silence.
Everyone turned their eyes from Samuel to Isla, completely dumbfounded.
Jake also looked at Isla in confusion. “What’s going
on?”
Isla bit her lip and directly addressed Samuel, “The solution proposed by Dr. South for the Olsen’s was sent to us separately. It has nothing to do with your company. You’re just his assistant and have no knowledge about this.”
Jake let out a breath of relief.
Isla continued. “Mr. Morgan, is it about time to put an end to this? If that’s what you’re implying, there’s need
to be so roundabout…”
She looked at Jake, “Jake, Horton Group is not at a loss. Can Het go of this matter?”

As expected, Jake was infuriated. “Mr. Morgan! This is an internal issue of Horton Group. It’s not your place
as an outsider to instruct us!”
He had been respectful to Samuel because of Samuel’s role as Dr. South’s assistant.
It wasn’t that he was actually afraid of Samuel.
Horton Group is the most prestigious family business in Oceanion. Very few can even catch his eye.
Samuel said, “Actually, I am quite aware of this matter. Dr. South didn’t send an email to Isla.”
Jake scoffed, “If Dr. South didn’t send it, then how did Isla get the solution?”
Samuel shrugged, “Indeed, how did she get it?”
Jake was taken aback, “What do you mean?”
“It’s quite obvious,” Samuel pointed at Poppy. “It was given by this lady! Wasn’t it captured that she was copying something from a flash drive to Isla’s computer?”
The crowd was dumbfounded.

Seriously, was that even a valid interpretation?!
Everyone was left dumbfounded for a moment.
Jake almost burst out laughing. “Mr. Morgan, you mean that Keira’s mother stole Keira’s plan and gave it to Isla? Don’t you think your words are rather
ridiculous?!”
“What’s so funny about it?”
Samuel suddenly shifted his focus. “Mr. Horton, do you
believe that what I said was correct?”
Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously turned their gaze towards Lewis.
Despite his silence, his strong presence was undeniably noticeable.
Lewis pondered slightly, and his deep, pleasant voice echoed in the conference room. “Indeed, such an
interpretation is plausible.”
At his words, the faces of several people in the room
changed.
Jake, not daring to vent his anger toward Lewis,

snapped at Samuel. “So, are you saying that the plan belongs to Keira and not Dr. South?”
Samuel chuckled, “It belongs to Dr. South too!”
Jake was confused.
On the other hand, Isla came to an understanding. “Mr. Morgan, are you suggesting that the plan of Keira and Dr. South are coincidentally identical?”
Now, Jake was genuinely irritated. “So that’s what you’re aiming for! Not only do you want to clear your suspicion, but you also want to take credit for others’ work. That’s a brilliant scheme indeed!”
He turned to look at Lewis once again. “Uncle, is that what you think as well?”
Lewis pursed his lips.
His eyes were deep and perceptive, sensing that something was off…
With Samuel’s confident appearance and Keira’s
upright posture ever since she entered the room, their relationship wasn’t what he thought it was!

The idea he had once suppressed suddenly resurfaced.
He suddenly turned his gaze to Keira, his pupils slightly contracted.
Could it be…?
Seeing that he was silent, suggesting that he tacitly agreed, Jake felt justified. “I disagree! Uncle, I know Keira was brought in here because of your connections, and that Keira and Samuel are very close. But Dr. South came because of me, so I need to stand up for him. I absolutely disapprove of what you’re doing. You’re tarnishing the integrity of researchers!!”
His words resonated with the others.
Everyone turned their condemning gazes toward Lewis.
That was too much…
The guilty party who stole someone else’s work. Not only would she escape punishment, but now she was trying to take credit for it?!
This news, if spread out, could incite public anger
within the company

Tom was furious too.
What on earth were Samuel and Keira up to? It would
be good enough if they could shed the accusations, but now they wanted more!
How greedy.
Now, this situation had put his boss in the hot seat.
But since Lewis didn’t speak up, as his assistant, Tom couldn’t say much either. He could only seethe in silence.
Just as he was getting anxious, his phone buzzed, and he saw a link sent by someone from the secretary’s office.
It was the company’s internal network where an anonymous person had been live-blogging the contents of this meeting room.
Under that post, a crowd of people was already commenting.
“Just because the intern is pretty, Mr. Horton is defending her. Is that it? This is really disappointing!”

“I stand with Vice President Jake. He speaks for the
researchers!”
“I originally thought the company’s atmosphere had improved after Mr. Horton came into position, but now it seems like I was mistaken…”
“An intern’s mother would help outsiders bully her own daughter? This mother is wrongfully accused. How tragic.”
“I’m Dr. South’s fan, and it’s unacceptable that someone stole his work. I’ll be the first one to object!!”
“I have to say, I’m truly grateful that Vice President Jake was able to invite Dr. South to provide technical support. Working with Dr. South is the greatest honor of my life. Now, look at Mr. Horton, who did he bring into the company? An intern who’s nothing more than just a pretty face. I have no words…”
“If Dr. South feels wronged and resigns because of this intern, I’m going to lose it!”

The company’s public opinion had already taken shape, and it was a hard blow to Lewis.
Tom, scared, quickly handed his phone to Lewis,
hoping the latter would change his defensive attitude toward Keira.
However, Lewis didn’t even glance at the phone. Instead, his gaze was locked onto Keira with a complicated emotion in his eyes…
Tom was dumbfounded.
