Chapter 534 Chapter 534 Troy immediately turned to Lauren , his face full of desperation .
Ms.
Rhodes , please , Ive worked tirelessly for you in the past .
Im begging you just this once , grant me mercy ! Lauren crossed her arms , giving him a cold nce .
I can consider it , but theres onest question you need to answer .
What exactly have you done with Ruby besides sleeping with her ? Any other shady dealings I should know about ? Troy hesitated , his face paling .
After a moment , he clenched his teeth and confessed , I … I showed her three of the Pharmaceutical Divisions forms .
But please , Ms.
Rhodes , understand I only showed her .
She didnt copy them , so it shouldnt be a big problem … right ? Before Lauren could respond , an enraged voice boomed from the doorway .
Troy , youre asking for death ! The furious shout echoed through the office , followed by the sharp , rapid ck of dress shoes on the tile .
Momentster , Michael stormed in with several high ranking executives , his face twisted with fury .
Without a word , Michaelshed out , kicking Troy hard in the chest .
Troy copsed to the floor , gasping in pain .
You idiot ! Michael bellowed , his face red with rage .
Do you have any idea what youve done ? The Pharmaceutical Divisions forms are the product of decades of research .
Each one is priceless ! And you … you gave them to Ruby just like that ? Do you realize what youve done ? I could kill you right now ! Michaels voice was nearly a roar , his fury blinding him .
He hade here intending to defend Troy and figure out why he was groveling to Andrew , but hearing Troy confess to leaking thepanys trade secrets was a blow that felt like a death knell .
As the CEO , Michael knew the gravity of the situation .
This was not just a minor blunder it was catastrophic .
The thought of those forms being leaked could mean devastation for the Pharmaceutical Division , perhaps even the entire Rhodes Corporation .
Worse , it reflected directly on him , the leader of thepany .
If the family found out about this , his position and his dreams of bing the family head would be over .
Grabbing Troy by the cor , Michaels face contorted with rage .
Ill ask you onest time .
Did you or did you not leak the Pharmaceutical Divisions forms to Ruby ? Troy was trembling as he stammered through sobs , Mr.
Rhodes… I didnt mean to … I wasnt thinking straight … Please , fet me exin ! Michael responded with two vicious ps , the sound of which echoed through the room .
Exin ? Exin what , you moron ? Michael shouted , his voice raw with fury .
The only thing I want to know is did you give the forms to Ruby or not ? Troy broke downpletely , wailing like a child .
I … let her see them , but I swear , it was just curiosity ! I dont think she memorized them or had any ulterior motives ! Michael was seething , his breathing in harsh gasps .
You dont think ? You imbecile ! Youre telling me you thought she wouldnt betray us ? Youre a damn fool you deserve to die ! た ( Chapter 534 His bloodshot eyes darted around the room , scanning for something he could use to finish Troy off right then and there .
He was trembling with rage , on the verge of losingplete control .
Fortunately , the other executives stepped in , holding Michael back before he could act on his murderous intent .
たべ Mr.
Rhodes , please , calm down ! This isnt the time to lose your head , one of them urged .
Yes , Mr.
Rhodes , another chimed in .
Troy has made a grave mistake , but punishing him now wont solve anything .
Our priority should be apprehending Ruby and preventing her from leaking the forms .
Michael froze for a moment , his anger giving way to fear .
Youre right … we need to catch Ruby immediately .
We cant let those forms leave the hotel ! Turning back to Troy , Michael barked , Where is she ? Which hotel ?! Tell me right now ! Still trembling , Troy quickly gave up Rubys hotels location .
Without wasting another moment , Michael ordered a team to head to the hotel and capture Ruby .
