Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 528

On Thursday, Brightness held a general shareholder's meeting and invited many news media at home and abroad.

Rose, the spokesperson of Brightness, took out the patent certificate of C technology and relevant parts. Without its authorization, no other company or person was allowed to use the same technology within five years.

She also told the shareholders that the technology Seine used in the bid for the equipment was stolen from Brightness. At present, they had conclusive evidence and would sue Seine at any time.

Hearing this, the crowd burst into an uproar, like a time bomb, starting the timer.

What came next was that the stock price of Brightness soared and that of Seine company plummeted on the contrary.

What a play Essie was playing. Smart people could see it.

This was a trap.

Under the influence of the European debt crisis, the profit of Seine kept falling. Zac had made a bold decision for Essie to acquire the company, which was the biggest threat to the Brightness.

The senior executives of Seine decided to fight back. They wanted to survive in a desperate situation and turn the loss into profit by cooperating with Baker. At the same time, they gave a heavy blow to Brightness. However, they didn't expect that they missed a step and fell into the cliff.

Now, it would face the double huge compensation from Brightness and Baker. It was like a ball with only a big hole and could no longer be bulging. There were only two ways for Seine to get rid of the crisis. One was to declare bankruptcy, the other was to surrender to Brightness and accept to be acquired.

The shareholders of Seine were unwilling to choose the former, not to mention that Essie had to whip them behind to speed up their pace.

Now, there was another thing that needed to be solved by Essie. The thing was to find the chief culprit who leaked the technical secret.

In fact, from the moment when Finney planted a virus in the computer and stole the technical information, Essie had found it. She pretended to know nothing and let Finney finish her work. She was going to catch the big fish in one net.

When she found Finney, she burst into tears. "I'm sorry, Essie. I didn't mean to do that, but I have no choice. If I don't do as that person said, I'll be in jail."

Startled, Essie asked, "Finney, tell me what happened."

Finney sniffed and sobbed, "I met a friend in the fitness club. She is a famous painter and has the same interests as me. We have a good talk. One day, she invited me to her house for fun. I went there without thinking. I didn't expect that she was a lesbian and confessed her love to me. I was frightened and wanted to leave, but she grabbed me. We had a quarrel on the stairs. I pushed her down by accident. She died. I wanted to pretend that she fell off the building by accident, but I didn't expect that someone took the video of that day and sent it to me. He threatened me that if I didn't do as he said, he would hand the evidence to the police and put me in jail. "

Essie's two beautiful eyebrows twisted into a ball, and her intuition told her that there was something wrong with it.

The next day, when the first ray of morning sunlight fell from the clouds, Zac and Essie drove Finney to a small village in the suburb of Dragon City.

The village was extremely quiet. There were very few people and it was hard to see a house within two or three miles.

The low pine trees around were closely connected, like the undulating green waves. After they had gone for dozens of miles, a dark and gloomy mountain popped out. The shape of the mountain was very strange. From afar, it looked obscure, like strange water flowers stimulated by the green waves.

The villa where the female painter that Casey had lived was built at the foot of the mountain.

The traffic here was very inconvenient. Without a private car, it would take more than forty minutes to find the bus back to the city.

As soon as they got off the car, a gust of cold wind blew from the top of the mountain. Finney got goose bumps all over her body, which made her feel scared from the bottom of her heart. It was extreme quiet here. The sound of the water streaming in the nearest spring and the rustling wind in the farthest distance echoed in her ears, making her even creepier.

It seemed that the villa had been abandoned for a long time. The Chinese photinia in the garden had withered, and the weeds swallowed the sound of footsteps.

Zac used the tools he brought to open the door.

It was the same as what Finney had seen last time. All the furniture was covered with white cloth, and there were white walls, white carpet and white curtains. It was blank and gloomy inside.

The chill continued to climb up from the bottom of her feet, and her hair stood up one by one. She shivered again and held her arms.

Noticing that, Essie reached out her hand and held her. "Don't be afraid. I'm here with you."

The living room was spacious and the stairs were built in the north. Finney walked a few steps forward and came to the stairs. "I was standing here at that time. Casey was in the middle of the stairs. She grabbed my arm, and I grabbed her wrist trying to get rid of her. Then she screamed and rolled down the stairs. "

She walked to the stairs where Casey was lying. Zac touched the carpet under his feet, which was soft and thick. "Was it the same carpet before?"
