New beginning: Billionaire love story (Claire and Alex) novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105 Revelation 

“I would have never thought it will be you, Robert.” Claire said her lips cut into a cold smile that makes your skin crawl. 

Robert stood frozen as he stared at Claire who was sitting on the chair. He was expecting someone else, not Claire. 

“11–How? Why are you here?” Robert said baffled by the situation. 

He was supposed to meet Adrian to tell him about Cortex 2.0, but Robert did not expect to see Claire let alone being in the meeting room hotel where Adrian and Robert had arranged to meet. 

“Claire, you weren’t supposed to be here,” Robert stammered, trying to regain his composure. 

Claire swung her legs over one another and leaned on her arm, her smile turning mocking. “Were you expecting someone else, Robert? Or should I say, were you expecting Adrian?”

Robert’s eyes widened, and his month gaped open like a fish out of water 

He stammered, “How how did you know?” 

Claire straightened her posture, her smile vanishing as a serious look took over. “I know everything, Robert. I know you were the one who leaked the information to Venus AMD.” 

All the color drained from Robert’s face. He looked like he might 

night faint, 

Three days ago 

claire had sat in her office, her expression stem as she faced her tearn 

“I’ve found the one who lealed the information to Venus,” Claire had said, her voice grave. The team gasped, exchanging worried glances 

“Who?” someone finally dared to ask 

Claire’s face was dead serious as she continued, “I know you’re all curious, I won’t beat around the bush. It was Robert Robertson.” 

Their eyes widened in disbelief, and one of them exclaimed, “You mean Robert Robertson, our former CEO?” 

Claire nodded, watching the shockripple through the room. “Yes. Ilmow it’s hard to believe, but it’s true. And I need your help to get more proof.” 

She had explained the plan to them. “I want you to set up a fake business deal with Adrian Saint Laurent. Talk about it among yourselves, but make sure it seems like a secret. Just enough to pique Robert’s interest.” 

“I’m sorry to interrupt, Ms. Peterson. But do you think it will work? What if the plan fall out?” another employee said hesitantly as he doesn’t feel confident about This plan. 

“I know Robert well enough to know this plan will work wonders. I just need all of you to act naturally. Like none of you know anything about Robert. Do I make myself clear?“” 

They all nodded, and Claire told them more about the details. 

Over the next two days, they attended meetings and whispered among themselves about the supposed deal with Adrian. Robert, always looking to stay one step ahead, overheard their conversations and decided to act 

He doesn’t want to stop 

op just now especially after his win in sabotaging Claire’s project with tip. Robert plan to bring Claire’s inconsistent to the shareholders and he wish Claire position to be taken away from her and Robert can finally have his position back 

The present… 

Robert was still reeling from the revelation. “I can’t believe you set me up,” he said, his 

, his voice barely above a whisper, 

“you brought this on yourself, Robert,” Claire sald coldly. “I gave you a chance to stay and work at Metacontes, and you betrayed me and the company. You leaked our confidential information to Venus our rival business, and you thought you could get away with it?” 

Robert’s Lists clenched as he glared at Claire, his face red with anger. “I can’t wait any longer. Claire!” he shouted, his voice echoing through the meeting room. “I don’t want to sit around doing work I hate. I deserve this company, not you,” 

Claire laughed loudly, the sound filled with disbelief and contempt. “I can’t believe you’re bringing this up again, Robert. How petty can you be?” she said, shaking her bead. 

“Perry? You’re calling me petty?” Robert fumed, his eyes narrowing 

“yes, Robert,” Claire replied, her voice calm but firm. “Metacortex belongs to me. I created it from scratch. You were just an investor, and let’s be honest, your investment wasn’t that significant compared to others. They aren’t power–hungry like you.” 

Robert’s face twisted with rage. “I put my money into this company, Claire. I have a right to it 

“And you do! You have 25% of the shares. Isn’t that enough for you? And let me tell you when you tried to take control. Metacortex was trashed. You couldn’t create any new software, and this company is all about technology and innovation. ” 

The door opened, and Adrian walked in, standing beside Claire, who was sitting in her chair. “Is everything okay, Claire?” Adrian asked, his presence adding to the tense atmosphere.

Claire stood up; her gaze |

Robert’s eyes darted between Claire and Adrian, and he seemed to piece together something “You two know each other, don’t you?” he asked, his voice tinged with suspicion. 

Claire smirked, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “It’s about time you figured it out.”
