Chapter 450

The speaker’s gaze lifted to Millie.

“Talk about an own goal!”

Nancy now realized the folly of this bet. Regret gnawed at her, as she had never contemplated a defeat.

“Can't bear losing, huh?”

Millie's taunt elicited a smirk.

A few seconds passed before Nancy regained her composure, asserting confidently, “I’m the chief designer at Thomas Group. To

slight me is to slight the entire establishment.”

Seeking to employ Thomas Group as a lever to suppress Millie, Nancy aimed to wield her organizational authority.

Millie’s response was measured. “Certainly, | don’t deny it. However, your loss is the fact. There are no outsiders present—

merely core Thomas Group members. Your secret is safe with us.”

Millie tumed to the senior leaders, questioning, “Will you uphold this confidentiality for Nancy? This sort of scandal should remain

contained.”

The senior executives hesitated, their lips parting but silence prevailing.

None dared to voice an opinion. Nancy held a prestigious position within the organization. Responding affirmatively might result

in her literally barking, which would render future interactions awkward.

Observing the unresponsiveness of the senior executives, Nancy confidently lifted her gaze towards Millie.

With her gaze, she intended to communicate to Millie that barking like a dog was beyond her capability, and Millie had found

herself without any supporters.

Abruptly, Millie removed her hairpin and proclaimed, “Seems no one is willing to safeguard Nancy’s secret. Truly a heartbreaker.

Isn't she always treating you kindly?

Are you planning to disseminate news of her barking like a dog?”

And so, someone took the bait.

“Fear not; we shall maintain confidentiality. It won’t leave our lips.”

“[, too, shall ensure secrecy.”

“Count me in as well.”

These individuals had rendered Nancy utterly speechless.

These individuals had fallen for the ruse!
