Karen was left speechless by his strong and assertive response. She couldnât help sneaking a glance
at Dorothy
âGive me some time. I definitely find it.â
âHow long? SinoSuccess Enterprises is no pushovert If I say yes, they may not
Dorothy clenched her fists. âTen days.â
ot be as generous with timeâ
âI can only spare you three days. If you canât find it, I have to announce to 1 the public that you leaked
the core technical blueprint.â Mr. Percy wasnât in the mood for chitchat.
Their team had been hitting bumps all year, ruffling the feathers of the higher ups.
Now, with this Dorothy debacle, he was considering going to the church to pray. Was he born under a
bad star?
After watching him storm out. Karen tugged on Dorothyâs sleeve.
âWhat are we gonna do? Can we make it in three days?â
âIm not sure.â In fact, Dorothy couldnât figure out where to start.
Heather definitely wasnât going to confess. The gap in power between the two sides was substantial.
There was no silver lining in sight
âWhy donât you lure Heather out? Record her secretly, then we can get evidence of her confessionâ
Dorothy sat down and rubbed her temples.
âYouâre oversimplifying things. Sheâs probably got all her bases covered.â
âOr you could turn to Mr. Lopez. From your conversation with Mr. Percy, it seems like there might be a
chance. If Heatherâs only doing this because of a minor issue, maybe Mr. Lopez would be willing to
mediate
Dorothy shook her head. âYou think heâd help me?â
âI think, Mr. Lopez is a fair leader. Even if itâs his fiancée, he shouldnât let the innocent take the fall
âIâm going to pay a visit to Regal Dominion Ventures. Since theyâre insisting I did it, I want to know who
contacted me and what benefits they offered.â
âAlright! Iâll go with you.â
âYou donât need to. You still have work today. I can
an manage.â Dorothy knew Karen was worried for her, but once this was over, Karen still had to work at
the Prosperity Consortium. Getting too involved might tamish her reputation
Karen pouted. Her face was etched with worry. âBut Iâm not comfortable with you going alone.â
âThey wouldnât dare do anything to me in broad daylight.â
Weirdly, Dorothy had to reassure Karen of her safety before leaving. Like Karen was the one in the
situation.
As she reached the bottom of the Prosperity Consortium building, she saw Kenneth, who had dropped
them off earlier, still waiting.
After seeing Dorothy, he quickly got out of the car. âNeed a lift?â
âMr. Nelson, itâs not the weekend. Donât you have class?â
âIâve taken a leave. Itâs okayâ
She frowned and stepped back. âYou donât need to do this. Go do your thing. Please give your friends a
thank you from me. The messages they retrieved are very crucial for me. Iâm grateful enough, so I canât
accept any more help from you.â
âBut youâre alone, and who knows how many people are behind Heather planning this? Can you fight
them on your own?â
Dorothy was at a loss for words.
âI just want to help you. Itâs hard to see someone who works so hard like you being used as a
scapegoat. This could ruin your entire future. Dorothy, if your boyfnend were here, Iâd leave right away.
But heâs probably busy, right? So, consider me as a family member or even just a chauffeur Letâs find
the evidence first and turn things around. You can thank me properly laterâ
