Chapter 1397 Almost Found Out


    On the other hand, Kendrick was on guard ever since Beryl appeared before Chloe and Colton didn''t


    take any action. This worried him.


    Knock. Knock.


    "Come in," Kendrick answered in a low voice, frowning slightly.


    Darcy entered with a document that was sealed tightly in her hands. No one would be able to guess


    what was inside.


    Only they both knew this was a document regarding a subsidiarypany that no one knew about.


    "This is from them," she announced with a quiver in her voice as she ced the tightly sealed


    document on the table. It felt like she was carrying a mountain on her shoulder when she had that


    document in her hands.


    She wasn''t entirely sure what thispany was all about, but she knew it was capable of bankrupting


    apany and ruining families overnight.


    It was safe to say that Kendrick had not used thatpany ever since Hofstead Corporation''s stable


    performance.


    "You may leave now." He nodded and nced coldly at Darcy before looking down at his work.


    She naturally caught his scary gaze and suppressed her shudders as she turned around to leave his


    office.


    It had been a long time since she saw such a scary gaze from Kendrick. Did he perhaps find out what


    she was doing behind his back? She was terrified and scrambled to find a deserted ce before calling


    a phone number she had been calling recently.


    "Hello, please halt that project no matter what," Darcy said in Restradian. It was obvious the other party


    was also from Restrad.


    "I charge extra for sudden stops like this. I''ve already started working on it." The man''s voice on the


    other end of the phone was rough.


    "What? You didn''t mention this at the start!" Darcy got worked up and lowered her voice immediately


    after realizing where she was.


    "Pfft, I''ll see how you''ll deal with it when news gets out if you''re not going to pay," the man said


    arrogantly as he spat something out.


    Darcy gritted her teeth. The man was adamant about getting money from her no matter what she said.


    He was probably waiting for this moment to happen.


    "I''ll give you the money. Make sure to stop it, alright?" Darcy swallowed and said each word as if she


    had made a huge decision.


    Then, she hung up the phone and clenched her hands tightly around her phone as she red at the


    door before her.


    This time, she would not let that man take advantage of her, for he dared threaten her at such a time.


    She wouldn''t let him off the hook.


    "Darcy, Mr. Hofstead''s looking for you." An employee was surprised to find Darcy there, but she tried


    her best to inform her calmly.


    Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Darcy was stunned before slowly turning her head around, but she rxed when she didn''t notice


    anything weird about that employee''s expression.


    She was afraid the employee might''ve overheard anything and reported her to Kendrick since the


    competition was tight in thepany. Everyone wanted to climb up the corporatedder, after all.


    "Okay, I''ll be off now." Darcy nodded and walked past that employee.


    That employee finally let out a sigh of relief after Darcy left.


    She had overheard Darcy''s conversation on the phone. Even though she couldn''t hear what the other


    party said, she still heard Darcy''s words.


    Something about spending money and not letting him go. Darcy must be up to something bad. Should I


    tell Mr. Hofstead? The employee was conflicted; she didn''t expect Darcy, who was known to be fair, to


    act like this in private. However, if she told Kendrick, her job would be at risk if Darcy found out about it.


    As such, she couldn''t tell anyone about this
