In the audience, Cecilia Yates’s expression gradually shifted from disdain to shock, then to terror. Because as she compared the bid documents, she found that every word, every sentence, and even every figure Eleanor Winslow mentioned matched the content of the documents perfectly. Eleanor was supposedly isolated from the project in its later stages, so how was she still so familiar with it... Eleanor... she’s terrifying! The presentation ended. The project team stood in the break room with solemn expressions. "Eleanor, don’t you plan to explain?" Cecilia Yates said indignantly, "Even if you wanted to stand out, you shouldn’t have risked so many people’s hard work!" Eleanor suddenly took the stage and even grabbed Albert Sawyer’s microphone, presenting fluently. No one believed she wasn’t prepared in advance. Albert Sawyer looked at Eleanor gloomily; he had the same thought. "I didn’t participate in the creation of the PPT at all. If Cecilia hadn’t assigned me work at the last minute, I wouldn’t have had the chance to even look at it," Eleanor said mockingly at Cecilia. "If I were truly premeditated, Cecilia, are you my accomplice?" "Eleanor, what nonsense are you talking about!" Cecilia immediately jumped up, holding Albert’s arm, and acting coy, "Albert, look at her! She’s always blaming and bullying me!" "Eleanor, even though you completed the presentation, the firm lost face today; you must take responsibility for this!" Albert comforted Cecilia by patting her hand, "Eleanor, you haven’t graduated yet, right? If your internship feedback at our firm isn’t good, can you graduate smoothly?" Eleanor caught his implication: "Lawyer Sawyer, are you suggesting I go to the partners and take all the responsibility myself to avoid affecting you?" Albert glanced at the other colleagues in the project team, saying insincerely, "It’s to avoid affecting the other colleagues in our project team." Colleagues who initially intended to speak up for Eleanor immediately fell silent. In the workplace, self-preservation comes first. Eleanor looked at Albert and then glanced at the smug Cecilia, and she laughed, "You two are quite a match." Cecilia lost her composure, "What do you mean?" Eleanor remarked, "Birds of a feather." Albert’s face darkened, "Eleanor, don’t think that just because you have some ambiguous connections with the Grant Group’s high-level, you can act arrogant here!" Eleanor was about to speak when a male voice interrupted. "Ambiguous? Do I need to show you my marriage certificate?" Adrian Grant entered casually, directly walking to Eleanor’s side, looking at Albert Sawyer across from them, "Sorry, I was worried my wife was being bullied, so I rushed in. I hope Lawyer Sawyer doesn’t mind?" Eleanor turned, surprised to see him, yet not shocked. - Lately, he’s been a bit clingy. - He’s even evolved into a deaf person, not hearing her mention divorce. Albert’s expression changed the moment he saw Adrian Grant come in, trying to smile but failing, resulting in a grimace worse than crying. "President Grant..." Newest update provıded by 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝 He was already wary of Eleanor’s relationship with Adrian Grant but thought at most, she was a plaything for such a big CEO. More importantly, he couldn’t take the blame for this bid’s mistake and affect his future; hence, he dared to make Eleanor a scapegoat. But Adrian Grant actually said... marriage certificate? "What... what marriage certificate?" Cecilia was dumbfounded, speechless with shock. "My marriage certificate with Lawyer Winslow," Adrian Grant placed his hand on Eleanor’s shoulder, a gesture of authority declaration, politely asking Albert, "Interested in seeing it?" Someone noticed the silver men’s ring on Adrian Grant’s left ring finger. Albert suddenly recalled that when Eleanor first started working, she wore a massive diamond ring. He thought then it was just an accessory she bought for fun—who in a normal family would buy such a big diamond ring? Unexpectedly, it was real! "No, no, no need..." Albert was overwhelmed with pressure, stammering, completely missing the elite aura of a top lawyer. No one in the project team dared to speak, not even looking directly at Eleanor. Adrian Grant seemed utterly unaware of the deadly silence in the room and continued to ask Albert, "I heard you wanted my wife to volunteer to take responsibility?" "I... " Albert swallowed, "President Grant, when there’s a problem with the work, we have to hold someone responsible internally..." Having already spoken, Albert didn’t want to contradict himself and could only stubbornly call it an internal procedure. Adrian glanced at Eleanor; she was much shorter than him, and lowering his eyes, he could see her curled lashes, looking quiet and seeming easy to bully. Tsk, whose person are they bullying? Adrian chuckled lightly, "Then I’ll confirm with your firm’s partner: when there’s a project issue, does the project manager walk away unscathed, leaving the intern to take responsibility?" Except for committing murder or arson, what responsibility can an intern be assigned! Albert’s face turned deathly pale. Cecilia grit her teeth, subtly glaring at Eleanor as if looking at a turtle hiding behind someone else’s back, a hint of envy seemingly in her eyes. Adrian targeted Albert because he was in charge. But Eleanor wasn’t planning to let Cecilia go. "Lawyer Sawyer," Eleanor spoke, "the PPT, after being copied, only opens once before displaying an error message upon a second attempt—this must have been pre-programmed. It’s impossible for me to have set this up; I didn’t have the opportunity or time." The PPT was last saved by Cecilia, and Eleanor got the original from her, making Cecilia the prime suspect. Cecilia’s expression turned ugly as she forced a calm demeanor, "You’re slandering me based on merely ’guessing’? Just because you married well, you think you can bully others?" A cold glint flashed in Adrian Grant’s eyes, looking at the event organizer’s representative who came with him. The representative said, "Our IT department just checked. Your firm’s PPT file contained a virus program, just as this lady described: after being copied, it only opens once." Eleanor was slightly surprised. In such a short time, Adrian Grant already had someone investigate it... just as she expected. "Cecilia, you..." Albert looked incredulously at Cecilia. He was aware Cecilia often targeted Eleanor but never expected she would tamper with such a critical bid step! "I didn’t, I didn’t do it!" Cecilia’s face turned white as she shook her head in panic. Eleanor sneered, too lazy to say more. Whether true or false, the partners would investigate and decide. Suddenly, Adrian grabbed Eleanor’s hand and asked nonchalantly, "Ready to go home?" This was his true intention for coming here. In front of everyone, Eleanor ungraciously pulled her hand away, "It’s not the end of the day yet. I still have things to do back at the firm." Adrian’s palm felt empty, instinctively rubbing it twice. The others exchanged glances, not daring to speak. Eleanor could actually be so assertive in front of Adrian Grant, her husband...
