Chapter 226

Pointing Fingers I looked straight at Kenzie and realized it made her uncomfortable. She even glared at me with displeasure before looking at the blueprints.

I answered Atlas’s question, “I can’t guarantee someone hadn’t leaked the blueprints because we didn’t only hand them to ATL Empire’s project department. Indeed, that was my negligence.”

Atlas asked sternly, “So who else can access the blueprints, Ms. Chloe?”

His question sounded doubtful, encouraging me to continue. Suddenly, my phone vibrated, but I ignored it for now.

1 delivered a set of blueprints, inspection reports, manuals, certificates, and all relevant documents to ATL Empire’s Design Division myself,” I deliberately mentioned the Design Division to draw everyone’s attention.

As expected, my words caused immediate discontent from Kylie Mckinney, a member of the Design Division. She said, “That’s a bit much, Ms. Chloe. We came to this meeting to review the blueprints for you.

“Why are you pointing fingers at us? That seems unfair. Also, you’ve never given the blusine to the Design Division for review.”

Those from the Design Division were rightfully arrogant since they held a prominent position globally.

They contributed to many iconic buildings worldwide. Therefore, I knew they didn’t need to involve themselves in this mess. They even refuted my statement with hostility.

Still, that was what I wanted.

“Please don’t be hasty. I’m not trying to point fingers. Instead, I was just stating facts.” I smiled while maintaining a friendly demeanor. I continued, “I gave the blueprints to…”

I intentionally dragged my words and kept my eyes on Kenzie. She narrowed her eyes and looked at me coldly.

“I gave them to Ms. Kenzie,” I didn’t give her a chance to object and continued, “Ms. Kenzie asked me to deliver a set of blueprints to the Design Division but didn’t say why.”

Kenzie nodded, “Yes, I asked for the blueprints to review their design scheme. Later, I gave them to Mrs.

Celine.”

I didn’t expect Kenzie to admit it so quickly. Her admission exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Meanwhile, I picked up my phone and casually checked it.

Yes, I’ve had the blueprints all along. Is there a problem with that?” Celine questioned assertively. I knew she was challenging me, as if she said, “What can you do about it?”

Everyone in the mom was stunned. Indeed, I felt some pressure, but it was a matter of great importance that I couldn’t shrink from. “Mrs. Celine, I’m merely explaining the whereabouts of the blueprints.

“1 must express my disappointment In ATL Empire if you show such an attitude. My understanding of cooperation is that we should solve problems together. I believe we’re in the same boat and should help each other.

“However, everyone seems to be shifting the blame instead of devising a solution. Is this how ATL Empire resolves its issues?” I spoke as I looked firmly into Celine’s eyes, causing her expression to turn cold.

I added, “ATL Empire has already decided not to hear my opinion. Do you even respect my company?

It seems you just want to blame.us.”

I glanced around the room and said, “All right, let’s investigate this matter ourselves. I promise to provide a satisfactory answer to everyone.”

Immediately after, I raised my phone and tapped the screen, saying, “I have good news to share with everyone. We’ve located the delivery man responsible for handling the blueprints.”

The meeting room fell silent.
