"Roderick Holmes? I have never heard such a name in this city."

"I wonder what he has done to make Miss Bolton have so much faith in him."

The crowd shifted their attention to the direction where the light shone as they whispered.

"This must be pure luck and nothing else. This guy doesn't look outstanding to me, as Miss Bolton said."

The crowd never stopped to wonder as they found it hard to understand what interest Kate found in Roderick.

Christina, who was sharing the same table with Roderick, had her eyes widened in shock. It was as though she was in the middle of a nightmare.

She was trying to understand what her boss was up to, but she couldn't find anything meaningful in it.

To her, Roderick was a con whose intentions weren't clear. Christina was still trying hard to separate this con from her boss, yet she went ahead, appointing him as the face of their newly awarded project.

Thinking about all this made Christina's heart clench. Her head was pounding heavily with a headache as

    Kate and Christina settled in the car. For almost twenty minutes, they were both in deep silence.They were both lost in thought, trying to find a solution to the problem at hand.The source of this problem stemmed from the trust they had in people.Isn't it really sad that the people they trusted with a hundred million dollars' worth of goods betrayed them?Christina finally turned to her boss and said, "Miss Bolton, I can still vouch for Mr. Hill; he's very innocent in this matter. There's no way he would be involved in it or appear at the agency's office."Kate remained silent as Christina continued, "Moreover, the Hill Company is worth well beyond billions. Why would Mr. Hill involve himself in such a dirty game just for a mere hundred million dollars?"The amiable CEO of Bolton Group slowly sat upright and heaved a sigh. "You are right, Christie. But Mr. Hill said earlier that nobody can be trusted."Christina's eyes lit up slightly, and she asked, "Do you mean Mr. Hill has somet

    'What nonsense is this man saying?!' Alex screamed inwardly as rage overtook him.Back in his company, when Frey had come to get the goods, he was very polite and reasonable. How could he become so rude and unreasonable all of a sudden?The only reason Alex asked Linus to bring him forward was to clear his name.Unfortunately, this man here was only making matters worse.Even though Frey didn't give a direct answer, what he said amounted to nothing other than pointing at Alex as the mastermind behind the fake products.This confused Christina and her boss.Alex had always been known as a man of integrity and trust. What could have really made him indulge in such a dirty trick?Kate noticed the rage on Alex's face as he had turned completely silent. It was obvious that Frey's response had rendered the powerful businessman speechless.Then, Kate said to Frey, "Don't you think your response to Mr. Hill was quite rude? Besides, are you sure of your claim? Are you sure you're not making a

    Alex couldn't understand why Linus was making this difficult. What was there for him to bring out the importer just to ask a few questions to clear his name from the mess?Even though Alex's anger had already grown wild in his head at this moment, he didn't want to react.Instead, he asked Linus, "Since when do you have such a law? Do you think I'm ignorant about your laws?"Linus quickly waved his hands and said, "I never said that, Mr. Hill. Just that the situation on the ground was so serious that the new law had to be implemented.""Oh, wow! I see. Could you please explain why this law was implemented?" Alex was only hiding his anger behind the question."It's just to protect our investigation, Mr. Hill. The organization is trying to prevent the culprits from being coerced into agreeing to a forced claim, which would distort our investigation from the beginning."Alex wanted to pretend he didn’t understand what Linus was trying to insinuate, but he couldn’t keep it to himself."Ar

    "Uhn?! Mr. Hill?!"They were all surprised to see the foreign popular businessman, Alex Hill, approaching. The most stunned among them was Linus Grizman.He wondered what the popular businessman had come to do.With a forced smile, Linus instantly asked Alex, "Mr. Hill, may I know why you are here?"Alex's face frowned slightly as he couldn’t understand what sort of unnecessary question that was."Aren't you the official in charge of the Bolton Group's seized goods?"Linus quickly straightened his back and answered confidently, "Yes, I am, sir.""So, if you are, how come you didn't know I was the foreign supplier of the goods?"Linus secretly swallowed a cold breath as Alex said that.He had only wanted to confirm it when he asked the question earlier. It was really a surprise to him that Alex was the foreign supplier of the goods.He never expected that.Faking a wider smile, Linus stretched his hand forward to Alex for a handshake to cover the slip that had just become evident."It'

    What?!Kate and Christina couldn't believe their ears. It was as if they were hearing things.Was the man really saying a hundred million dollars' worth of building materials would be destroyed and disposed of? Really?Kate heaved a soft sigh as she tried to calm down."Mr. Grizman, I believe there must have been a mix-up somewhere, as the goods we ordered were all quality products. There's no way they would turn out to be fake all of a sudden."Even though Kate was trying her best to keep her voice calm, it gradually grew higher in pitch.This is a hundred million dollars we're talking about.There was no way her demeanor wouldn't change.Linus noticed that the cool-looking Kate had suddenly become dangerous before him at this moment.Then, he quickly said, "Miss Bolton, the goods wouldn’t have been seized if they weren’t fake. If you don’t believe me, you can come take a look at them yourselves."At this moment, Kate's panic grew more serious.She didn't expect Linus to be so confid

    Christina was staring disgustedly at Roderick at that moment, her face filled with anger."What are you saying, Christie?" Kate was taken aback by her secretary's attitude."Is this the time for us to look down on any staff of the company? Wasn't our priority to find a solution to our problem? How does it have to do with whoever contributed to the problem being solved?"Christina's face remained frowning in disgust as her boss questioned her repeatedly."Besides, Mr. Holmes is my spokesperson. How is he not qualified to come along with us?"Christina knew her boss would never want to listen to her, and she was ready for the argument as well.Being alone in the office with Roderick disgusted her. She had not reacted because they had a more serious matter to handle.However, Kate made things even more unbearable for Christina when she asked Roderick to come along with them."Miss Bolton, there's no way he can contribute on the ground. It's only if he would bring more trouble to us. Let'
