The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 956 Spy

Zack went out tactfully. Jaqueline stood up, said that she still had work to do, and hurried away.

As soon as she left, Anthony's eyes turned cold.

He stared at Mavis. "Why do you always trouble her?"

Mavis glared angrily. "When did I trouble her? Please be reasonable, okay? Do you believe what she says?"

"Just now, Jaqueline took the responsibility on herself. She said that if there is any problem, she should be responsible for it and not affect her colleagues. What are you doing to trouble your colleagues? Discuss work but you call it a party chat? Mavis, are you being domineering?"

The guilty party filed the suit first.

Jaqueline was pitiful in front of Anthony, but she was completely different in front of her.

But people can't make black white. Mavis calmed down and explained word by word, "First, how do you know that I'm looking for trouble for nothing?"

"Second, since you believe what she said, why did you call me here? Just punish me directly."

"Third, you were not there. How do you prove that they were discussing work and not chatting? I have been an assistant for so long. When have you ever seen me play pompous?"

"Anthony, don't you think Jaqueline is kind? Then she came to you with grievance. Why didn't she think it would cause discord between us?"

Mavis tried her best to slow down her tone so that she would not sound so aggressive, but because of her agitated emotions, there was always a sense of arguing.

Anthony was silent for a while, then lit a cigarette irritably.

He just said one sentence, but Mavis responded a lot.

Moreover, if he really trusted Jaqueline completely, he wouldn't have come to ask her.

Since she was pregnant, Mavis couldn't get used to the smell of smoke, so she immediately got up and backed away, keeping a distance, and refusing to smoke second-hand smoke. "Anthony, have you ever wondered, since she came along, we've been arguing and who's the problem?"

"Be careful."

After speaking, Mavis left directly without giving Anthony a chance to retaliate.

She might be on the verge of breaking her word to Paloma.

There were some things that she really can't get the answer she wanted by persisting.

Back in the office, she touched her belly and suddenly felt that it was her only hope for the rest of her life.

In the next few days, the quarrel between Mavis and Anthony still did not stop, all because of Jaqueline.

Anthony was obedient to Jaqueline, and even listened to Jaqueline's opinions during project meetings, as if he intended to help her establish prestige.

From a work perspective, Mavis felt that he was not a qualified company leader, nor was he suitable to be the person in charge of the Callahan family.

Jaqueline had just joined the business department. What did she know? This will bring great risks to the company.

Mavis argued hard, but got Anthony's answer, "In the first project, there will always be many flaws. She's still a newcomer. She needs encouragement and training, and she'll be much better next time. Isn't that what you're taught at the beginning?"

Mavis was so angry that she had nothing to say.

In the company, there were more and more people who said Anthony and Jaqueline were a perfect match, and Mavis felt that she was becoming more and more redundant.

She was about to have a baby bump. What should she do?

...

As for Jaqueline, it seemed that she was going well, but in fact, her life was not easy.

Her adoptive father had already issued an ultimatum, and his patience was running out. If Jaqueline didn't do anything again, he didn't guarantee that he wouldn't do something extreme.

In the evening, when everyone was getting ready to get off work, Jaqueline looked at the computer screen very seriously. Seeing this, the colleague next to her couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you off work?" Jaqueline shook her head. "I'm but there is still a contract to be completed. You go first."

"Okay then, bye."

Her colleagues left one by one, and Jaqueline finally turned off her computer and turned to leave.

Anthony attached great importance to new projects, and had repeatedly asked everyone to pay attention.

However, the core file was still missing.

The most important thing was that the competitor was only one percentage point higher than them, and they obviously knew their bidding reserve price.

Sitting by the table in the conference room, Anthony looked at everyone present with a gloomy expression.

"This time, you are the only ones who take over the project. I don't want to doubt you, but once there are spies in the company, it'll be a serious problem. So, whose behavior is more suspicious recently?" Everyone looked at one another in blank dismay.

Jaqueline even grimaced, looking worried and anxious.

Mavis was also in this project.

She didn't say a word. If there was a spy in the company, this kind of thing couldn't be her fault.

But at this time, someone stood up and said, "Mavis, don't you think you should explain something?"

Mavis was stunned. "What am I going to say? Do you suspect that the spy is me?"

As she spoke, she raised her face to look at Anthony, who was in charge of the conference room.

Anthony had a stern face, and looked dignified in his indifference. He didn't look at her, and didn't say a word.

Mavis looked back at the employee who named her just now, "I always think about the company. What about the evidence? Can you slander me at will?"

She had not been here for too long, but at least she was conscientious and focused on work, and now some people said that she was a spy.

It was hilarious.

"Three days ago, I saw you sitting alone in the HNR coffee shop, and then someone from the competitor went in. Although I didn't see the follow-up, you appeared in the same coffee shop. Isn't it reasonable?" Mavis recalled carefully that she had indeed appeared in the HNR coffee shop, but she was just relaxing alone. How could she know who the competitor was at that time?

"I don't know the competitor. You just saw someone go in, but you didn't see the two of us sitting together. I'm also curious. How do you know someone from the competitor?" The person was stunned instantly and had nothing to say.

Seeing this, another person stood up and said, "Isn't it normal to know what the competitor looks like? What's not normal is that you can enter the same coffee shop, and everyone knows that you and Mr. Callahan have had conflicts recently. Is it because of this that you did something that is harmful for the company?"

It was just slander.

Mavis was alone against everyone. They knew it, so they stood up and slandered her.

She sneered, looked at Jaqueline who was not speaking, but asked Anthony, "Do you also think the spy is me?"

Anthony didn't speak.

Silence meant yes?

Mavis couldn't help but sneer.

"Mr. Callahan, if it was Jaqueline who was accused by everyone today, would you treat her like this?"

Anthony slowly raised his pair of blue enchanting eyes, and looked at her with calmness.

"Anyone who is harmful for the company will be punished."
