Chapter 1619


    Emily nodded nervously, and turned to walk towards the elevator..


    When she reached the thirty-ninth floor, Tracy had just left the CEO’s office. She looked at Emily with a


    hint of schadenfreude in her eyes, along with a bit of mockery and disdain.


    Emily sat down at her desk and tried to call Wilson, but there was no answer..


    A chill settled in her heart as she stood up and walked towards Charlie’s office.


    She knocked on the door and entered, finding Charlie in the middle of a phone call. He barely nced


    at her.


    Emily waited until he finished his call before speaking, “Mr. James, I didn’t leak the bidding details to


    Horizon Enterprises”


    Charlie’s sharp gaze fixed on Emily as he responded slowly, “I told you to keep a distance from Wilson.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Did you listen?”


    Emily bit her lip, remaining silent.


    “Did you call Wilson?” Charlie asked.


    Emily paused a moment before saying in a low voice, “I did call, but he didn’t answer.”


    “Huh.” Charlie scoffed, his lips curling in disdain.


    Emily tried to exin, Wilson isn’t that kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding!”


    “Misunderstanding?” Charlie’s face darkened, his anger rising. “Even now, you’re still defending him?


    Did you really trust him that much? Those screenshots clearly leaked from within Horizon Enterprises.


    Without his consent, do you think those photos could have made their way to otherpanies? Emily,


    do youck basic judgment?”


    Emily’s face turned red and then pale as she was scolding by him. She lowered her gaze and said, “I’ll


    go with Mr. Gavin to meet with those representativester. I have evidence to prove that I haven’t


    epted any bribes from Horizon Enterprises.”


    Charlie looked at her coldly and said, “You don’t need to go. Starting from today, you’re out of the


    energy station bidding project. All the documents will be handed over to Tracy


    “No!” Emily raised her gaze to meet Charlie’s, determination shining in her eyes, I’ll take care of the


    mess I’ve caused for thepany. I’m well aware of the significant impact this has on the James


    Group’s reputation. I’ll resign once everything is resolved.”


    Charlie’s lips curled into a cold smile, “Are you really feeling guilty, or are you just seeking an excuse to


    leave me?”


    Emily’s eyes flickered, “It’s not about you. ording topany’s regtions, regardless of my


    innocence, I bear responsibility for the harm to thepany’s reputation.”


    “Emily!” Charlie’s face turned serious, his voice lowering, “Why is your first instinct always to retreat


    when you encounter difficulties?”


    Emily looked at him, swallowing the bitterness in her mouth and slowly spoke, “Because I have nothing.


    I can’t bear the consequences, and I don’t want to


    burden others”


    Charlie’s pupils narrowed slightly, a touch of mystery deepening within them.


    “Knock, knock, knock!”


    Gavin knocked on the door and entered. Seeing Emily was present, he greeted her with a smile,


    “Emily”


    Charlie shifted his gaze away from Emily to Gavin, “Did you call Horizon Enterprises?”


    I did. Wilson answered and said they’re currently verifying the situation!” Gavin replied.


    Charlie let out a cold chuckle, “So, the phone can be reached”


    Emily’s face turned pale. She had just expressed her trust in Wilson, but she was swiftly proven wrong


    Wilson’s phone could be reached, he simply chose


    not to answer her calls.


    “Mr Gavin, i’ll go with you to meet with the representatives of the Inver Group I exin to them.” Emily


    turned to Gavin with a clear and determined gaze


    Charlie interjected coldly, I’ve already told you that you’re not allowed to participate in this project


    anymore”


    “Once I’ve exined everything, I’ll follow your orders! Emily said stubbornly,


    Without waiting for Charlie’s response, she turned and left


    leaving now!”
