Yvonne let out a cold scoff. "I saw the video myself! You cornered Stein at that dinner, talked to him forever, and exchanged numbers. You expect me to believe nothing is going on? Please!
"And that presentation you gave at the summit? It heavily cited Stein's papers. He definitely ghostwrote it for you, didn't he? There is no way someone your age wrote something with that level of technical depth. Don't stand there and tell me you two have no relationship. I'm not an idiot."
Yvonne used to be an R&D scientist herself, just as capable as her husband, but she had given up her career to raise their family.
When she started digging into Winona's background, she had reviewed her speeches and concluded that this "genius" persona had to be manufactured by an older man's influence.
The rest of the office was now watching like a hawk, desperate for gossip.
Winona’s expression remained utterly impassive.
"Whether you believe it or not, my relationship with Mr. Harrison is strictly professional."
Karina couldn't hold back and stepped in front of Winona. "Do you have any idea who Winona is dating? Why would she ever look twice at your husband?"
Winona didn't want her private relationship with Stefan turned into office fodder. One sharp look from her shut Karina up instantly.
Killian stepped forward as well. "Mrs. Harrison, Winona is the most dedicated researcher in this lab. We see her capability every single day. I can guarantee you that not only does she have nothing going on with your husband, but she writes every word of her presentations herself. She doesn't need his help."
Yvonne let out a harsh laugh. "What homewrecker is ever going to admit what she is? You'd better cut ties with my husband, Winona, or I will make this scandal public. I'm sure you don't want to lose your precious job."
Security finally arrived to escort Yvonne out.
"Don't touch me! I know the way out," Yvonne spat, turning on her heel and marching out.
