Chapter 389

“Is there a problem?” Caroline asked, keeping her calm.

The people around her lost the courage to say anything else. They mumbled amongst themselves and left soon after.

However, they started complaining again right after leaving her office.

“What’s wrong with her? Why is she so angry?”

“Of course, she’s pissed! If I were her, I would have lost my mind to lose the chance at signing a contract with Daphne!”

“This is exactly how people behave when they are powerless. Back then, I told my friends that I wanted to work at Evans Group, but they told me that this company wouldn’t last long.

“I didn’t believe them and joined the team. Seeing how things are now, we’ll become jobless before the next product is introduced to the market.”

“It isn’t that bad,” said Caroline.

She was more or less an idol to quite a number of people, and the head of the design department had a pretty good impression of her too. “I think we stand a chance against the opposite party.”

The employees turned to stare at her as though she were a fool.

Gavin sat in the office. The cop had left not long ago. Gavin’s secretary knocked and opened the door, then said, “Mr. Gavin, Mr. Luke is here to meet you.” 1 Gavin was about to refuse when Luke barged into the room on his own accord. In the end, Gavin could only go with the flow. “Why are you here?” he asked.

Instead of replying, Luke glanced at the door and said, “Was the cop here because of Dan Evans?”

Gavin had sued Dan for embezzling the company’s funds, yet Luke only learned of this a few days ago. He hadn’t expected Gavin to be able to get his hands on any evidence.

“Yep,” Gavin told him curtly.

It made Luke curious, and he asked, “How did you get the evidence then?”

*Caroline gave it to me.”

Dubious, Luke waved his hand to dismiss the idea. “That’s impossible. There’s no way she managed to obtain the ledger.”

“She gave it to me. Luke, we were partners in the past, so I feel obliged to tell you this. Don’t underestimate Caroline.”

Luke sneered. “Since you said that, I’ll assume that you’re outdated. It seems to me that you know nothing about what happened recently in Evans Group.”

Gavin quirked an eyebrow. Indeed, he had not asked for any news regarding Evans Group for quite some time. After all, he was busy settling Dan’s embezzlement case.

“Layla started a company on the floor above Evans Group’s. Her company took up the entire 24th floor and is launching a horoscope–themed line of clothes,” Luke briefed him about everything.

“Oh, right! We have the support of Morrison Corp. Caroline wanted to sign a contract with Daphne, but we managed to intercept her so that Daphne took our side.”

“So Caroline’s lost the battle before it even started,” Luke concluded.

“Since we worked together in the past, Layla asked me to tell you that if you take back your funds, we can let you join Morrison Corp.”

Gavin’s brows were knitted closely together. He was about to say something when the door creaked open and George walked inside.

George was here to pass him some documents. He had accidentally heard their conversation and quickly pushed through the door to get into the room. “Gavin!” he exclaimed.

Gavin glanced over and could tell that George was overflowing with enthusiasm already. He straightened his face and glanced at Luke. “If I do that, it’s akin to backstabbing her. Caroline helped us with Dan and the ledger. We must be grateful to her.”

“Gavin!” George hissed anxiously.

Luke noticed this and stood up. “Very well, you’ve shown your loyalty. But don’t be jealous when you see us earning a lot more than you ever can.”

With that said, he left, looking all content with himself.
