Chapter 1619
Emily nodded nervously, and turned to walk towards the elevator..
When she reached the thirty-ninth floor, Tracy had just left the CEO’s office. She looked at Emily with a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes, along with a bit of mockery and disdain.
Emily sat down at her desk and tried to call Wilson, but there was no answer..
A chill settled in her heart as she stood up and walked towards Charlie’s office.
She knocked on the door and entered, finding Charlie in the middle of a phone call. He barely glanced at her.
Emily waited until he finished his call before speaking, “Mr. James, I didn’t leak the bidding details to Horizon Enterprises”
Charlie’s sharp gaze fixed on Emily as he responded slowly, “I told you to keep a distance from Wilson. Did you listen?”
Emily bit her lip, remaining silent.
“Did you call Wilson?” Charlie asked.
Emily paused a moment before saying in a low voice, “I did call, but he didn’t answer.”
“Huh.” Charlie scoffed, his lips curling in disdain.
Emily tried to explain, Wilson isn’t that kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding!”
“Misunderstanding?” Charlie’s face darkened, his anger rising. “Even now, you’re still defending him? Did you really trust him that much? Those screenshots clearly leaked from within Horizon Enterprises. Without his consent, do you think those photos could have made their way to other companies? Emily, do you lack basic judgment?”
Emily’s face turned red and then pale as she was scolding by him. She lowered her gaze and said, “I’ll go with Mr. Gavin to meet with those representatives later. I have evidence to prove that I haven’t accepted any bribes from Horizon Enterprises.”
Charlie looked at her coldly and said, “You don’t need to go. Starting from today, you’re out of the energy station bidding project. All the documents will be handed over to Tracy
“No!” Emily raised her gaze to meet Charlie’s, determination shining in her eyes, I’ll take care of the mess I’ve caused for the company. I’m well aware of the significant impact this has on the James Group’s reputation. I’ll resign once everything is resolved.”
Charlie’s lips curled into a cold smile, “Are you really feeling guilty, or are you just seeking an excuse to leave me?”
Emily’s eyes flickered, “It’s not about you. According to company’s regulations, regardless of my innocence, I bear responsibility for the harm to the company’s reputation.”
“Emily!” Charlie’s face turned serious, his voice lowering, “Why is your first instinct always to retreat when you encounter difficulties?”
Emily looked at him, swallowing the bitterness in her mouth and slowly spoke, “Because I have nothing. I can’t bear the consequences, and I don’t want to
burden others”
Charlie’s pupils narrowed slightly, a touch of mystery deepening within them.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Gavin knocked on the door and entered. Seeing Emily was present, he greeted her with a smile, “Emily”
Charlie shifted his gaze away from Emily to Gavin, “Did you call Horizon Enterprises?”
I did. Wilson answered and said they’re currently verifying the situation!” Gavin replied.
Charlie let out a cold chuckle, “So, the phone can be reached”
Emily’s face turned pale. She had just expressed her trust in Wilson, but she was swiftly proven wrong Wilson’s phone could be reached, he simply chose
not to answer her calls.
“Mr Gavin, i’ll go with you to meet with the representatives of the Inver Group I explain to them.” Emily turned to Gavin with a clear and determined gaze
Charlie interjected coldly, I’ve already told you that you’re not allowed to participate in this project anymore”
“Once I’ve explained everything, I’ll follow your orders! Emily said stubbornly,
Without waiting for Charlie’s response, she turned and left
leaving now!”

The readers' comments on the novel: Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)
I'm so glad that Gonzalez was able to get Luke, Oliver and all others who wanted to challenge himas the CEO straight. Interesting how Xavier made reference to a girlfriend concerning his gift to Norah, but never did this before her accident. I'm grateful for the updates. Thank you...
I had a lot of catching up to do..oh buoy, what twist and turns. Loved every bit of it, thank you for keep updating the novel. Hoping for more love along the way....
May we please have updates. Thank you...
Someone needs to send a new picture of Trevor to Oliver and Luke so that they will get their requested reports to Gonzalez asap. If they didn't know, now they know what awaits them if they continue to disrespect and NOT follow orders....
Well, well, well. I love how Gonzalez sent out the warning that he's the CEO and either they will acknowledge him as such or get their due diligence. I'm waiting to see how the Franco family will be walking on eggs and come into a new understanding of Gonzalez taking charge. Thank you so much for the five updates....
Adrian is hoping that he has a chance with Norah and will do everything and anything in his power to keep Norah and Xavier apart....
Thank you for the updates. I hope that Norah will remember Xavier and their relationship before the accident and that they will ever be to....
Thank you, thank you for the updates today, which is also my birthday. The saga continues. I really want Norah and Xavier to be together... but he has to want Norah....
May we have updates please. Thank you....
Why can't m Xavier just admit that he loves Norah...
