Chapter 711 Suspicion
Secretary Horace looked hesitant and seemed reluctant to say it in
front of anyone but Horace.
Horace also realized this, but he did not want Brody and Camille to
have any extra thoughts in mind, so he said: "If you have anything to
say, just say it, Mr. Armstrong and Camille and they are not outsiders.â
The secretary listened, then looked slightly heavy voice: "Mr. Burris,
just received news, the other company because we have not given a
response for a long time has been open to the final draft of their
company design time, the final draft time than we, so the other side
directly identified our designers copied them."
Such evidence is not kind to Armstrong Corp.
Mr. and Mrs. Bell also called at this time to inquire about the situation.
While Horace can vouch for the absolute absence of plagiarism, there
is no tangible proof of the absence of plagiarism.
So that's why the other company has the biggest leverage to eat
Armstrong Corp.
Mr. and Mrs. Bell said to Horace: "Mr. Burris, you only have three days
to deal with this matter, if three days have passed and you haven't
solved it clearly, then Armstrong Corp can only withdraw from this
project, not only that, all the losses will be responsible by Armstrong
Corp."
Mr. and Mrs. Bell said that this is also for the sake of Camille so give
three days.
But three days to find out about it, whether it's Horace or Brody and
Grace or Camille understand that it's very difficult.
Because now there is no clue and there is no loophole, everything
seems to be true.
If they were not the parties involved, I'm afraid they would have decided
that Armstrong Corp was the one who copied.
After the phone call with Mr. and Mrs. Bell, the entire office was silent.
Brody's face was unhappy, and his voice and tone were not much
better, he said: "Mr. Burris, at the beginning I said that the private
settlement must also be private, like this company wants is just money,
whether it is plagiarism, as long as the other party's requirements are
met, then it is a solution to the matter.â
He probably wasn't too good at getting angry with Horace, so he threw
most of his emotions and grievances at Camille: "This is the Armstrong
family's business, since you've married out, you should not be involved
in the Armstrong family's business, and the shares in your name should
be transferred to me directly. Take the time to transfer directly to me."
Brody's words carry a command that cannot be denied, and his attitude
leaves Camille silent without any response.
Probably because of Horace's presence, Brody wanted to show the
dignity of a strict father, and he stared at Camille with a tightly knitted
brow in displeasure: "Did you hear what I told you?"
Camille just glanced at Brody lightly, but did not have any intention to
respond to Brody.
Seeing this, Grace also hurriedly said, âDad, can we talk about these
things later? Now is not the time to talk about this."
Brody, however, did not listen to advice, because he felt that after
today's events he must take the largest shareholding in their own
hands, otherwise easily suppressed by Horace, if time is long Horace in
the whole Armstrong Corp are going to be a cut above him, he can not
lose this face.
So at this moment he thinks as long as he takes Camille that is to take
the shares in Camille's hands, so he is the largest equity owner of
Armstrong Corp.
He went to Camille's side, reached out and pulled Camille's arm, his
strength was heavy, not so much pulling as pinching hard, causing
Camille to subconsciously cringe and feel a hot stinging pain spilling
over from where she had just been pulled.
Camille's reaction Brody did not notice, nor did he feel that his strength
was too strong, instead he felt that Camille's ignoring him made him
lose face, and his tone increased a bit of anger: "I'm talking to you, did
you hear me or not?"
Brody's tone was almost violent, and his voice was heard throughout
the office.
The atmosphere also became instantly frosty.
Grace wanted to ease the atmosphere, but before her words came out
of her mouth, she heard Camille speak indifferently: âI am indeed
married out, and all the shares in my hands are not mine alone, you
asked me to transfer them to you directly, I'm afraid I can't do it, I still
have to discuss with Ayan?"
Camille's words made Brody's face filled with coldness, he said, "This
is the Armstrong family's shares, no need to discuss with Ayan, now I'll
have my secretary draw up the share transfer letter, you just sign it, the
rest doesn't need your presence, I'll arrange it."
"What if I don't?"
Camille asked lightly.
Her voice is soft, but not the kind of light that people just ignore away,
but with a toughness that makes it impossible to change.
Seeing that the dialogue between the two is getting lower and lower,
Horace also immediately interrupted in a light voice: "Mr. Armstrong,
you just said that this is your family business, since it is a family matter
is more appropriate to talk about it back home, I am just an outsider, so
I do not want to know too much about your family business."
Because Brody just deliberately said that this is his family business
hope that Horace do not interfere too much, then at this moment
Horace will be this sentence directly back to him.
After Horace's words, Brody was also silent.
But Horace did not have extra time to speculate on Brody's mind, but
spoke directly: "The other company put the word out, we can not sit
still, now either private or public can not solve this matter completely,
we need to find evidence to clear the black pot."
Brody's face is not very good: "Find evidence? How to find evidence? I
think it's the designer's side of the problem, the responsibility for all this
lies with the designer, directly hand the designer out even if, otherwise
the whole Armstrong Corp will have to follow the responsibility.â
"Mr. Armstrong, the designer did not copy, and even then you think it's
the designer's problem?" Horace asked with some incredulity.
Camille seemed to read the meaning of Horace's words, so he said
slightly euphemistically: âIf it's not the designer's problem how can
there be this problem of plagiarism? All the drawings were designed by
the designer, and I don't know what happened except for the designer,
do I?"
Horace could not help but smile, but that smile was very cold, he said:
"Mr. Armstrong, the designer is my personal search, also I follow from
the beginning to the completion, you say so, I would also wonder if I
myself have a suspicion?"
"Mr. Burris, I don't mean that, you don't think much of my words, I am
just worried that we are being counted, besides, how can I suspect
you? You and I are Armstrong Corp people, Armstrong Corp out of
things you and I are responsible for, I suspect who can not suspect you
ah!â
"Since Mr. Armstrong said so I am relieved, but nowadays Armstrong
Corp is asking Mr. Armstrong to cooperate with my decision since I am
the one who is executing everything."
"It's natural.â
Brody smiled with him and had to nod despite his dissatisfaction.
Horace immediately asked his secretary to go and draw up all the
people who had contacted this design project, because Armstrong Corp
did not plagiarize, so he felt that the company that identified them as
plagiarizing the final draft time as well as some small details must get
the design drawings in question to lay out good evidence, so the
suspect must be someone who knows the design drawings.
In total, six people have worked on this project.
A designer, the designer's assistant, and Horace with his secretary, the
architect, and finally Camille.
Although the entire project has three designers, but only Horace a
person clear he submitted to the design is actually from a designer, as
for the remaining two designersâ works are temporarily pressed in his
hands and did not disclose.
Itis also at this moment that the entire office is aware of this.
Horace did not mean to explain, Camille and Grace did not ask,
because he is the CEO of Armstrong Corp, then what he does naturally
has his reasons.
Horace said, "Six people on the project had access to the design, so
the suspects are among those six people, Miss Armstrong and Camille
don't mind me investigating, do they?"
