Aaliyah got a little flustered. But isn’t that the only copy? Natalie shouldn’t have a backup!

The project data Natalie had worked on shortly before graduation-refined with her advisor- had caught the attention of a top foreign company.
Seeing it as a ticket to a good job, she never published it.
Later, when she joined the Thorn Pack, it became temporarily unnecessary.
Aaliyah knew Natalie’s thesis data had never been published and couldn’t be easily proven, which was why she dared to use it.
But if Natalie had had a backup, she was done for.
Forget about Gallop Energy-this single charge of theft would be more than enough to ruin her.
“Ms. Cooper, I hear you haven’t been employed for a long time, and joining Gallop Energy was quite sudden. To become Gallop Energy’s representative in Maritime City in such a short time… you must be very talented and capable, right?” Liam spoke while opening his laptop to load the data.
He didn’t look at Aaliyah, but she was already shifting in her seat, staring at his computer, swallowing hard.
Samuel also noticed something was off, his brow twitching.
What game are these people playing?
Aaliyah and Natalie are sworn enemies. Is she really that scared just because Natalie has some status now? Scared to even speak? Is that all she’s got?
“Don’t panic. Your issues with Natalie are personal. Today, you’re Gallop Energy’s signing representative,” Samuel reminded Aaliyah in a low voice.
Seeing her helpless look, he reluctantly spoke up for her, “Liam, why ask irrelevant questions? You’re not suggesting that just because Ms. Cooper offended Natalie, Gallop Energy should be blacklisted by the Scott Group?
“Let me tell you, even if the Scott Group were Natalie’s alone, she doesn’t have that kind of power!”

The moment Samuel finished, Chloe drew an exaggerated, sharp breath.

Without saying a word, she suddenly turned her head toward Aaliyah, startling Aaliyah so much she almost fell out of her chair.
A colleague from Gallop Energy quickly steadied her.
Seeing Aaliyah like this felt like a punch landing on Samuel’s own face.
He lost patience and rapped the table. “Liam!”
“Fine. Let me explain why the Scott Group cannot sign with Gallop Energy today.” Liam finally looked up from his computer.
His calm, steady demeanor made Samuel’s heart start to race.
Did Natalie really have some way to override the cooperation process established by Alexander and the Scott Group?
Liam paused. Everyone in the room held their breath.
Even the Gallop Energy team was now looking at Aaliyah.
Only Chloe wore a slight smile, her gaze full of admiration as she watched Liam’s profile.
Liam’s eyes swept the room before settling on Aaliyah, who was visibly losing her nerve.
Her body was trembling slightly.
“Ms. Cooper, why don’t you tell us yourself? Confessing proactively makes a difference,” Liam said, shifting the focus back to Aaliyah.
Aaliyah was speechless for a long moment before finally forcing out words, her voice hoarse and breath ragged. “Me? What do I have to confess?”
“Confess what you did to earn Gallop Energy’s trust. Confess what’s wrong with the project proposal you brought.” Liam looked directly into Aaliyah’s eyes. His voice was always gentle, but now, even its softness carried immense pressure.
A faint smile touched his lips. “If you truly can’t remember, I can remind you. It involves my sister, Natalie.”
As Liam’s voice dropped, he pulled the USB drive from the port.
The crisp sound seemed to snap something in Aaliyah.
Overwhelmed, she shot to her feet and blurted out, “What proof did you have? For something
