Chapter 379 Betrayal
As usual, Penny held the weekly meeting with the heads of departments the next morning.
The director of the quality inspection department only made her way into the conference room halfway
through the meeting.
Penny furrowed her brows and expressed her concerns, "Sharon, the conference today is extremely
important. Why are youte?. Are you not feeling well?"
Usually, Sharon would try to please Penny whenever she had the chance. However, she behaved
arrogantly recently as though she had turned into another person.
She held her chest high and rebutted, "You''re the one who''s not feeling well! In fact, your whole family
is sick!"
The heads of departments in the conference room were taken aback by Sharon''s words.
Penny looked at Sharon in disbelief as well.
Even Penny''s secretary, Jenny, couldn''t hold back her rage. "Ms. Hinton, please mind your manners!
How dare you utter such words to President Smith?”
In return, Sharon sneered, "Ha! Who do you think you are, Jenny? Since I''m here to tender my
resignation today, Penny will no longer be my boss, and I no longer have to entertain any one of you!"
As Penny listened to Sharon''s words, she looked at her in confusion and asked, "What''s wrong with
you, Sharon? Why are you resigning?”
Sharon replied arrogantly, "Duh... Because I''m rich! Besides, I''ll be joining Blue Sky Corporation as the
vice general manager soon."
It was yet another shocking revtion to Penny and the heads of departments because they didn''t
expect her to join Blue Sky Corporation.
Penny''s eyes were filled with conflicted emotions as she looked at Sharon, but she replied calmly,
"Congrattions, Sharon. If that''s your final call, I''ll respect your decision. I''m d that you have been
promoted as the vice general manager of Blue Sky Corporation."
Sharon replied disdainfully, "Of course! I mean, what else can you do apart from congratting me?

You can''t possibly stop me, right? My annual ie is merely five hundred thousand when I''m
attached to Cross Group. However, Mr. Johnson has offered me an annual ie of two million as
long as I join Blue Sky Corporation. Do you really think I''ll stay behind because of our so-called
friendship?"
When the words left Sharon''s mouth, Penny''s face turned pale as she couldn''t believe that Sharon
actually uttered such harsh words without holding back.
Jenny could no longer suppress her anger. She yelled in return, "Sharon, have you no shame? Have
you forgotten who helped you when you needed financial support the most? You couldn''t even afford
your rental because you were unemployed back then." "President Smith was the one who gave you
this job, and she was even kind enough to offer you an annual ie of five hundred thousand! It
doesn''t matter that you''re joining ourpetitor''spany, but how could you say such things about
President Smith? Have you no conscience?"
"Forget about it, Jenny. Let her go," Penny held Jenny back and shook her head while she said with
resignation.
Sharon pointed at herself and said sarcastically, "Go? Don''t worry! I''ll definitely leave as soon as
possible! However, I have a few words for everyone here before leaving.”
She scanned the conference room and exchanged nces with the heads of departments. "I have
splendid news for everyone. Blue Sky Corporation has already gotten their hands on a reliable vine
sample. Soon, they willunch their version of liver cancer vine.”
"What? That''s impossible! Blue Sky Corporation can''t possibly be ahead of us in the development of
liver cancer vine!" Penny shrilled.
"What do you mean it''s impossible?" Sharon sneered in return.
"It''s tough to develop a new vine. If the Blue Sky Corporation has such capabilities, I''m sure they
would have mass-produced the vine since long time ago. In fact, it''s almost impossible for them to
generate vines of their own. Unless... Unless they have gotten their hands on our sample and
replicated the vine..."
Suddenly, Penny recalled something and turned to Sharon with a horrified expression. "Sharon, did you
betray us and pass the ssified information and the sample of our vine to Blue Sky Corporation?
Otherwise, how can you be so certain they will be able to mass-produce liver cancer vines?”
"It seems like you''re as brilliant as always!" Sharon replied with a grin on her face.
Penny and the heads of departments of
Cross Group couldn''t believe their ears.
"Leak? What are you talking about? Do you have any evidence to back your words?" Sharon asked as
she blinked her eyes innocently.
"Didn''t you just admit it yourself?" Jenny was stupefied all of a sudden.

"I was only kidding. It''s not illegal to pull someone else''s leg, is it?" Sharon sneered.
Everyone, including Penny, looked at Sharon in disbelief as she showed no signs of remorse at all.
