Kate was instantly disgusted by Linus's immediate refusal to discuss matters with Roderick.Aside from that, it was completely rude, and Kate found it unprofessional.After all, she had mentioned the position Roderick held in their company to him. No matter his current perspective of Roderick, he was supposed to be considerate about the words he used toward him.Meanwhile, Christina was feeling extremely happy at that moment. She couldn't believe that Roderick's humiliation, which she had come to witness, would kick off so soon.At that time, she was already preparing herself for the bigger show, knowing that Kate wouldn't agree with Linus so easily."Mr. Grizman, how can you consider Mr. Holmes a novice in business when you haven't even had a discussion with him?" Kate's lips curled slightly with a forced smile as she asked.With a chuckle, he replied, "Isn't it obvious enough, Miss Bolton? Anyone who has been in business for a while would know that they should speak for themselves a

What a question!Linus’s face frowned slightly as he was confused about what to say in reply.Finally, something struck his mind, and he let it out with a sheepish smile."I must say, Miss Bolton, I'm quite surprised to see the quality materials, too. This must have been a mistake by the workers who were assigned to inspect the goods. They must have gone through them in haste, which resulted in omitting these quality items."Even though Linus’s response didn’t sound reasonable to Kate, she didn’t bother to argue with him over it.If they didn’t have workers who could reasonably inspect goods before concluding, then what made them a quality control agency?Roderick chuckled slightly as his suspicions about Linus skyrocketed. He had been noticing how restless Linus had become a few minutes ago but had chosen to remain quiet and continue observing.Given Linus’s response, Kate nodded slowly and waved her hand. Then she said to the workers running the check, "You can continue with the ins

For the third time in a row, Alex had called Rex Oakham, but he wasn't picking up.Alex couldn't understand why Rex was unable to answer his call. It had never happened before that he had to call him repeatedly without anyone answering.Not even at this crucial time, when he needed him, did he expect this to happen.Seeing Alex's face frown as he continued trying to reach Rex, a secret gentle smile appeared on Linus's face, as he knew Rex wouldn't answer the call.That had been one of their initial plans. Linus and Rex had agreed that if Alex had to call Rex again after they had concluded everything, it meant something had gone wrong.And for that, Rex shouldn't answer the call. By then, when Alex and the others found out there was no other option for them, they wouldn't be able to do anything else but leave."Mr. Hill, for Mr. Oakham not to be able to answer his call, he must be in an important meeting," Linus said to Alex, hiding the smile on his face."Is that so?" Alex wasn't real

A few moments after the bodyguards left, a very fat, elderly man was seen running towards Murray, who was trying to maintain calmness despite the rage presently consuming him.Despite the heaviness of the approaching man’s body, he didn’t know how he was able to carry himself, but he ran with all his might and fell before Murray.This man was none other than Rex Oaklam.The loud thud echoed through the hall as Rex threw himself on the floor before Murray and began to plead. Everyone present was shocked by the scene.“Forgive me, Mr. Hunk! I know the punishment for my offense, but please forgive me, sir.”Rex was close to bursting into tears at this moment. All eyes were on him.Of course, he knew the gravity of his offense in leaving a serious business matter for a junior staff member to handle.He was in his office when news reached him that the head of the organization was looking for him. After learning the full details of why Murray was looking for him, he dared not waste another

The silence in the atmosphere grew more intense at that moment as Rex and Linus looked at each other hatefully.Linus inwardly sent heavy curses toward Rex as his face turned bitter.He hated the fact that he had agreed to the illegal activity with Rex from the outset.With how boldly and confidently Murray threw the question at them, he worried that Murray might have known about their theft before he arrived.Naturally, it was unusual for Murray to go around checking on departments. Linus thought that for Murray to be there, he must have had some information beforehand.Meanwhile, at this moment, Rex regretted leaving the deal in Linus' care. He inwardly blamed him for his incompetence.If not for Linus’s incompetence, he never believed he would ever be in such an embarrassing state."Do both of you think this is a staring competition or something?" Murray still tried to maintain his cool as he asked the suspects before him."Mr. Hunk, I'm looking him in the eyes to make him confess
