Johnson immediately reprimanded him.
“What do you mean by claiming the moral high ground? You youngsters come up with all sorts of
reasonings and use an endless string of different terms.Back in our era, all we had was a passion
for the department! If everyone stands back whenever something happens, how bleak would
society become?!”
He didn’t hold back at all when he reprimanded Morris and didn’t show the respect that he should
be to the acting director.
He was deliberately taking Morris down a notch in front of everyone.
He wanted everyone to know that even though Morris was the acting director of the special
department, he still had the final say when it came to seniority! His words made Morris frown.
It didn’t matter that he was reprimanded, but if Nora was the one being reprimanded…
He was about to say something when someone from the IT department suddenly ran over and
shouted, “Damon, Damon! This is terrible!”
Damon was taken aback.
Everyone turned around in unison and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man gasped for breath and replied, “Our network was hacked into again a moment ago.The
other party has sent us a message.”
Damon asked, “What did they say?”
“lam Q, not Y.”
Damon:”??”
Everyone:”??”
Stunned by the news, everyone looked at Nora, only to see her standing there calmly…If she told
them that she had asked Q to help, the group of them would definitely continue to whine.
Thus, she had decided that she would just use her actions to prove it instead.
She didn’t give much of an explanation, but Brenda stepped forward and said, “I get it now! It’s you
who got Q to help, Nora!”
Everyone looked at her in unison.
Brenda explained, “When we were tracking Trueman the other time, Damon wasn’t skilled enough
to do it.It was the hacker whom Nora had approached who pinpointed the hotel as his location! That
hacker must have been Q, right? The person who fixed the network bug for us free of charge last
night was also Q!”
The whole corridor fell silent.
Damon’s eyes widened and he looked at Nora in surprise.
“Were you really the one who helped us?”
Then, he turned back to Ruth in confusion.
“But didn’t you say that it was you who got Y to help?”
Ruth clenched her fists.She hadn’t expected things to turn around this way! However, she’d already
thought that this might happen when she falsely claimed the credit, so she managed to remain calm
and composed.
She even acted surprised and said, “Y said he would help, though! Wasn’t it Y who did it?”
After speaking, she deliberately took out her cell phone and took a look.
“I’ll ask him.”
She went to the side and sent a message.
Brenda, however, launched straight into mockery mode.
She said, “Oh my, is there still a need to ask, though?! What’s this? Are you already starting to steal
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmother people’s credit when you’ve only just joined the special department?”
Then, she pretended to reprimand Nora.
“And you too, Nora! Why are you so silly?! In the future, remember to leave your name behind after
you do good deeds, get it? “
“Those who understand you all know that, even though you look like a cold person, you’re actually
very enthusiastic deep down.You obviously did the IT department a big favor last night, yet you had
to suffer all these ridiculous accusations after coming to the office today! It’s too much!”
Every word of hers was like a knife that stabbed right at all the people who had condemned Nora
just now.
They were all straightforward men.
Knowing that they had misunderstood her, some of them immediately apologized.
“Sorry about that, Nora! We really didn’t know…”
“Yeah.What’s going on, though? Ruth claimed the credit for herself just like that.It’s only because
we misunderstood that we…”
“Why did Ruth claim false credit for it, though?”
While everyone was talking about it, Ruth returned.
