Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 446

Willow's eyes shifted slightly.

Jude continued, "But I never permitted her to use my account to log into the system, I never permitted her to pull the complaint attachments, and I never permitted her to provide audio or screenshots to any external personnel."

Willow's face drained of color.

"Regarding my previous lax management of access permissions, I accept full investigation and disciplinary action." Jude pushed a printed stack of documents to the center of the table. "These are all the approval logs I've compiled. They include the areas where I genuinely granted authorization, as well as the abnormal logins and the records of Ms. Whitaker downloading the meeting audio."

Specialist Jameson took the documents.

Willow stared at the stack of papers, the resentment in her eyes finally bleeding through.

"You're ruthless," she whispered.

Jude didn't look at her.

"I was just a little too late."

By the time the interrogation ended, it was already noon.

Willow walked out of the conference room. Lydia Whitaker's calls came through one after another. She didn't answer, simply standing at the end of the corridor, leaning against the wall and taking slow, deliberate breaths.

Jude emerged from behind her.

They stood a fair distance apart.

Neither spoke first.

Finally, Willow let out a dry laugh.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Jude looked at her.

"No."

"Then what else do you want? To see me get fired by Langford Medical? To see Wren trample me back into the dirt?"

"I want you to stop."

Willow stared at him, her smile growing increasingly cold.

"Stop, and then what? Wait for all of you to show some mercy and let me off the hook?"

She shook her head.

"Jude, you're too naive. Once someone is pushed to the edge of a cliff, taking a step back means falling anyway."

Jude lowered his voice. "Even so, you shouldn't drag others down with you."

Willow's eyes flickered.

"It's too late."
