Chapter 1618
Emily felt uneasy throughout the afternoon because of Gavin’s words. But when she went to deliver
some documents for Charlie to sign, he maintained aposed expression and didn’t say anything.
Emily began to think that maybe she had overthought the situation.
However, the next day when she came to work, she realized something was amiss.
The bid managers from severalpanies crowed the front desk, all demanding to see Charlie.
The receptionist patiently exined, “I’m sorry, but without a prior appointment, we can’t allow you
proceed.”
The loudest voice came from a deputy general manager who had been seen with Waters the day
before, “If we can’t see Mr. James, at lease let us see Mr. Gavin! After all, yourpany owes us an
exnation for this!”
Mr. Matz and others also expressed their indignation, “That’s right, we’ve invested so much effort and
manpower for the James Group’s bidding project. We can’t be toyed like this!”
“We want to see Mr. Gavin, and we want him to give us an exnation. Otherwise, none of us are
leaving today!”
“The James Group has always been known for fairness. And now, yourpany has allowed such a
situation to arise. Who would dare to cooperate with you in the future?”
It was peak working hours and the noise caught the attention of many employees from different
departments, leading to whispers and discussions. Suddenly, Mr. Matz spotted Emily and immediately
pointed at her, “Isn’t she the one in the photos?”
“Yes, that’s her!”
In an instant, they started crowding Emily to voice their usations.

The deputy general manager from Starlight Corporation sneered, “You’re still ying dumb at this
point?”
They continued, “We thought Ms. Sullivan was a decent person during our previousmunications.
We never expected you to be like this!” “You’re a disgrace to the James Group!”
Mr. Matz from the Iriver Group pulled out his phone, and showed the photos to Emily. “Is this you?”
Emily took the phone, looked at the photo, and her mind went nk as her face turned pale.
There were more than ten photos. Some shown her and Wilson having dinner together, some
disyed bank transaction records of Wilson, transferring three hundred thousand dors to her, and
some were screenshots of the anonymous email Horizon Enterprises received revealing the James
Group’s bidding details. And there even photos taken outside her apartment, showing someone
delivering luxury goods to Ms. Simmons.
All the photos pointed to one thing: she had epted a bribe from Horizon Enterprises and leaked the
bidding details to them. Looking at these photos, Emily’s mind was in chaos, unable to think clearly.
Mr. Matz snatched the phone back from Emily, demanded furiously, “Ms. Sullivan, do you have any
exnation for this?”
Someone pushed Emily, causing her to stumble backwards, and nearly fall
Gavins assistant rushed over and shielded Emily, and addressed those representatives, “Mr. Gavin is
on his way Please go to the meeting room on the neenth floor and wait. When Mr. Gavin is finishing
