Chapter 5 This move caught everyone off guard in a heartbeat. Mollina let out a scared scream and huddled into Zachary's arms. "Zachary, I'm so scared..." He quickly wrapped his arms around her to comfort her, but then shot a cold look at Camila. "Camila Ackley, I told you to let Molly finish the presentation. If you keep acting like this, don't say I didn't warn you." Camila could feel the chill and warning in his eyes. He hardly ever used her full name; this meant he was really upset. But all Camila did was give a sarcastic laugh and glance at poor Mollina. "Didn't you say this proposal was all yours? Even without the laptop, you should be able to explain it clearly, right?" A flicker of guilt crossed Mollina's face. She pulled at Zachary's sleeve and said, "There's just so much in the propos- al. I really can't remember it all clearly..." "The first part is a summary of the orders from North America and Southeast Asia this quarter..." Camila jumped in quickly, speaking without missing a beat. Everyone's expressions shifted slightly as they opened up their project plans. "The second part is a detailed financial breakdown of the company we want to acquire..." The soft sound of pages turning filled the conference room, along with Camila's clear and organized voice. "Right now, the assets are worth 2 billion dollars, while liabilities sit at 850 million dollars. So that gives us a current ratio of about 239.16%... "Which means it meets our acquisition criteria." As soon as she finished speaking, the whole room went completely silent. Everything-even the detailed data-fit together perfectly. Even those who had been criticizing Camila at first were now looking at her with respect. But Mollina's face was getting more and more twisted. "So, I think it's pretty clear now who really owns this proposal, right?" Camila looked over at Mollina. "You, the one who stole my idea, still need to explain yourself to everyone." Mollina turned pale instantly and stumbled back a bit. 0.0 % 09:03 200 Nunners But just then, Zachary jumped up to support her and shot a cold glare at Camila. "Camila, what you're doing is out of line and messing up the meeting. Security, get her out of here!" "What do you mean?" Camila pressed her fingers into her palm, disbelief written all over her face. "I'm just standing up for myself! Why should I be the one to leave? If anyone should go, it's her!" "Drag her out!" Zachary interrupted sharply, his voice icy. "Ms. Camila, please come with us." The security guards moved in and grabbed Camila without hesitation. way "Let me go!" Camila fought back, her eyes blazing as she glared at Zachary. "Zachary, you can't tell right from wrong!" But he didn't even look at her. He only shielded Mollina with a cold indifference that felt like ice. And the smug look Mollina shot at her was like a knife, stabbing straight into her heart. Camila laughed bitterly, tears welling up in her eyes as she did so. "Let me go! I'll walk out on my own!" Camila had just twisted her ankle while dragging herself around, and the sharp pain made her frown like crazy. But she still bit her lip hard, stood up straight, and walked away step by step. After leaving the conference room, she headed straight to Zachary's office. She grabbed a golf club and slammed it down hard onto his fancy desk. When Zachary returned from the meeting, he found his entire office in chaos. There was hardly any space to stand. Camila sat on the only decent couch, looking totally blank. He frowned and finally said in a low voice, "You've wrecked the office. Are you feeling better now, Ms. Camila?" Camila slowly looked up and let out a cold laugh. "Why aren't you with that thief you're so into-the one who swiped someone else's proposal?" "Molly is your biological sister. Why do you have to be so harsh?" Zachary sounded annoyed. "Even if you want to stand up for yourself, there's no need to embarrass your sister like that. "Camila, you're an adult now. You really should learn to keep your cool." Camila laughed. She must have been blind before to fall for a guy who was so obviously biased toward others. 44.5 % 09:03 Chapter 5 All she could feel was relief that soon she'd be gone. Just then, her phone on the desk lit up with a message from the airport. "Ms. Camila, your flight ticket has been booked. Here are your seat details." Camila's expression shifted slightly as she tried to ignore the message, but it was too late. "A flight ticket?" Zachary's face went cold in an instant.
