The Woman From Hell

Theo faced me with a smile. "It's fine. Just let Keith go. If he's clean, then his conscience will be clear."

I seemed to have understood something from that. Theo was using this to test Keith to see whether he was in the clear or if he would hide.

I nodded. "Then we'll wait."

Keith soon came in while grabbing a piece of paper which he handed to Theo. "President Grant, this is the list of people who came to adjust the surveillance cameras in the last three months." "Alright, you can go."

"Yes."

After Keith left, I went to Theo's side and looked through the list. "There are quite a lot of people."

"Yes. Mostly, it's the copywriting department and design department that are the most prone to leaks. The team leader would often conduct investigations," Theo said calmly.

I saw Keith's name for the last time. "He also went to look through the surveillance. Keith didn't hide that fact, so that means it's not him."

Covering the form, Theo's expression turned thoughtful. "I don't believe it's Keith. We'll check the others one by one."

It was the only thing we could do.

Theo and I went through everyone on the list, and all of them had sufficient reasons. We could not get a single clue. "We've seen everyone. Do you have someone you suspect?" I asked Theo.

"No."

I rubbed my temples, feeling like I was about to go blind. "I don't either. I've no idea."

Just then, Marius called, and I heard his agitated voice when I answered the call. "Sis Wan, get online quickly."

"What big news is it again?"

"It's huge"

After the call, I immediately browsed my phone. "What?!

"Look, Nibel turned around and partnered up with Wolfe Group. The news also reports that he might cancel his partnership with Grant Corporation."

Nibel was such an opportunist.

Speak of the devil and he would arrive. Nibel's voice floated in from outside the door, "President Grant. I see you're here too, President Lane. That's good, we can all have a good chat."

I went to the conference room. Nibel

looked at me and smiled brightly. "I

trust you've seen the news. I've partnered up with Wolfe Group. Flower Facial Cream is more marketable than Golden-O, so plan to cancel my partnership with Grant Corporation. Do forgive me,

President Grant."

I answered him before Theo could open his mouth, "Mr. Nibel, you're making things worse by doing this. What's more, Pristine signed a

contract with Grant Corporation netContent (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

from the very beginning. If you break the contract today, the liquidated damages won't be low. You should think about it."

"Liquidated damages? If we're going to talk about this, I think Grant Corporation will have to pay more in liquidated damages. It's stated in the contract that if relevant secrets are leaked the losses caused by it will be borne by Grant Corporation. The media reported this morning that distributor benefits were leaked. What do you two think about this situation?"

Nibel's words were unyielding, and I was a little angry. "The strategy was leaked, but Wolfe Group benefited from it. Anyone with a discerning eye should be able to know what the problem is." "That's where you're wrong, President Lane. Wolfe Group is also a big company. If you can think of such a strategy, they can too. It doesn't necessarily mean it's stealing."

"That-"

I still wanted to continue, but Theo stopped me. He smiled lightly and said, "Since you want to terminate the contract, Mr. Nibel, let's terminate it. We can work together again when the opportunity arises." "You truly are easy-going, President Grant. I won't pursue you for the liquidated damages that came with the leak, then. Let's consider it an offset."

"Of course. I'll ask someone to draft the termination letter."
