Chapter 216

After the last meeting, the team members had found hope again. Their previously deflated spirits now buoyed with renewed energy.

Miss Evadne was the kind of spiritual leader that didn't simply lead employees, but also captivated them with her dazzling charisma, turning them into her devoted fans.

Today, Evadne was radiant as ever, heading the regular meeting as usual.

During the meeting, she announced, "Tonight, Ada has agreed to meet with me. Regardless of the outcome, a good start is half the battle."

Her team erupted into cheers!

Only Kevin, seated at the very back, wore a smile that did not reach his eyes.

"Even though we were the ones who breached the contract, I believe Ms. Ada is not one to lack flexibility. I am confident that my new proposal will outshine the Abernathy Group’s. Once she reviews it, she'll be even more satisfied than with the first draft." Evadne confidently asserted.

"President Ashbourne! Let us take a peek too!"

"Of course, I would love to share it with you all right away, but after what happened last time, I have to be cautious. Not that I don't trust you, but we are under scrutiny. As the manager of the K Orld Hotel, I can't afford to stumble over the same stone twice. I hope you all understand."

Everyone sympathized with Evadne and wished her a triumphant return. They were all ready to roll up their sleeves and dig in.

At dusk, Evadne was dining in the restaurant while Jason was tidying up her documents in her office.

After finishing his tasks, Jason made a phone call and left the office.

No sooner had he stepped out than Kevin rushed into the office like a gust of wind.

Security was lax that evening, and he successfully infiltrated Evadne’s exclusive area.

He was aware of the surveillance cameras everywhere, but he had no choice but to risk it because time was not on his side.

If he couldn't get the new proposal tonight and if Evadne managed to reestablish a partnership with Ada, he wouldn't be able to avenge his girlfriend!

At this moment, Kevin was completely blinded by what he believed was true love for Caroline.

Apart from loving her, he wanted nothing more than to please her, even if it meant resorting to illegal activities!

Using his phone's flashlight, Kevin conducted a swift yet thorough search of Evadne's office.

He was certain that the proposal was still there!

After all, Evadne hadn't left the hotel yet, and Jason hadn't taken anything with him when he left the office.

His hands flew through drawers and cabinets, his urgency making him break out in a sweat!

Finally, buried under a mountain of documents, he found the proposal.

"Thank goodness!"

Kevin held the document with trembling hands, tears of elation filling his eyes. He murmured to himself, "Caroline. I've avenged you, I've finally avenged you!"

Click.

Suddenly, all the lights in the office were switched on!

The next second, Jason led a group of security guards into the room, surrounding Kevin.

Caught red-handed, Kevin stood frozen in shock, the proposal still clutched in his hands.

He knew he would be caught eventually but he hadn't expected it to be so soon!

Then, the security guards parted, making way for Evadne.

Dressed in a sleek black suit, she strode in on red-bottomed heels. Her sharp gaze was as intimidating as a high-ranking detective in a Hollywood movie.

"Kevin, do you know that commercial theft is also theft? With those pieces of paper in your hand, I can let you sit in prison and lose everything."

Jason' s brow was pressed, and cold light flashed between his eyes. "Whoever causes heavy losses to the obligee of trade secrets shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and shall also or only be fined; If it causes particularly serious consequences, it shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years! "

Kevin was shocked, staggered back a step, almost unstable.

"Now, with all eyes and conclusive evidence, what else can you say?"

Jason thought about the sufferings they had been through during these days because of Kevin, his eyes reddened!

"I have nothing to say."

Confronted with Evadne, Kevin trembled, but his love for Caroline gave him the courage to stand his ground. "I stole the proposal, and I sold it to the media. I did it all, and I am ready to face the consequences!"

Evadne ordered the security guards to wait outside the office, leaving only Jason with her and Kevin.

"Kevin, now that it's come to this, I might as well tell you everything."

Evadne casually picked up a piece of chocolate from a plate and began eating it. "Actually, from the beginning, there was never a new proposal, and I never arranged a meeting with Ada."

"What are you saying?" Kevin was taken aback.

Evadne chuckled lightly, "If you don't believe me, look for yourself."

Kevin nervously opened the so-called proposal in his hands, only to break into sweat.

Apart from the first page, the rest of the document contained nothing but blank pages!

He had been set up by Evadne!

"Evadne, how did you know it was me?"

At this point, Kevin had nowhere to run. He questioned Evadne directly, wanting to know the truth.

"The K Orld Hotel is impervious to outsiders. It's only when someone on the inside turns traitor that outsiders get a chance."

Evadne savored her chocolate with unhurried grace, "After the incident, I had a hunch there was a mole in our team. I've been quietly keeping tabs on everyone. But you, you've been good at keeping your composure. You didn't make any contact with Caroline. Had I not laid this trap, baiting you into a rash move, you would have probably gone into hiding. Catching you red-handed would have been difficult."

"You know about Caroline? How did you find out?" Despite his predicament, Kevin was solely concerned about his girlfriend.

"Hey, don't forget who President Ashbourne is." Jason snorted with derision, finding Kevin's question ludicrous.

Kevin's shoulders slumped in defeat.

His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 215 A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2371 Predatory Nature Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom Chapter 664 Evadne was the daughter of the Ashbourne family, immensely wealthy and influential. How could Caroline possibly stay hidden?

The enemy was so formidable it was despairing.

"Kevin, you've been working at the K Orld Hotel for a decade. You've been diligent and have planned many high-quality events, and you're a talented man. Initially, I planned to promote you to Director of Planning at the end of this year," Evadne sighed, a note of regret in her voice.

Kevin blinked in surprise, his pupils constricting.

"So, for your so-called love, you've jeopardized your bright future and are even facing imprisonment. Do you think it's worth it?"

"Of course! I love her. I would do anything for her!"

Suddenly, Kevin's face twisted into a snarl, his eyes crazed as he lunged forward.

Evadne's almond eyes remained calm and steadfast.

It was Jason who jumped in surprise, rushing to shield her out of instinct.

"Evadne! Stop pretending to be the good guy!"

Kevin glared at Evadne's exquisite face, indignantly defending his sweetheart, "I don't need your patronage! Everything I've done is all for revenge for Caroline! It's all because of you! Caroline's dad ended up in jail, you ruined Caroline's life! You evil capitalist. Losing a business partner is too good for you! In my eyes, you deserve to die!"
