Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 457

From the very beginning, she had never respected Willow, nor did she ever think Willow was worthy of competing with her.

Trapped in her own echo chamber, Vivienne quickly drew a conclusion. "Mr. Smith, there's definitely something shady going on here. Willow must have used some dirty tricks to get this opportunity."

She paused and then pressed on. "Merit Biotech must be paving the way for her. They're using their corporate privileges to let her cut the line right in front of us!"

This wasn't the first time Mr. Smith had heard this excuse. The first time, it actually sounded somewhat plausible, especially since he was new here and didn't know the full context. But after observing the situation for a while, he had started to pick up on some details.

For instance, didn't Vivienne have the full backing of the Sinclair Group behind her?

"Don't you have the Sinclair Group behind you?" he asked bluntly.

That single sentence crashed down on her without warning, freezing Vivienne exactly where she stood.

She had completely underestimated that Mr. Smith would call her out so directly. The elegant composure on her face instantly shattered, and a wave of unsuppressible resentment surged in her chest. But for the life of her, she couldn't find the words to fire back.

Vivienne's lips pressed into a tight, thin line, her fingertips pale as a ghost, her face flushing red and then draining of color.

It took her a good long moment to force down the fury in her heart and plaster on a barely passable smile. "Don't worry, Mr. Smith. I'll handle this properly. I will make sure everything is arranged so our team can smoothly participate in the interviews and research. There won't be any more mistakes."

But as her words hung in the air, Mr. Smith just stared at her quietly. There was no emotion in his deep eyes—he neither nodded in agreement nor voiced any further doubts.

This time, he wasn't just going to take her word for it. He was going to see for himself.
