"N-No... No..." Jacquelin shivered.
She and Renee were birds of a feather. If news spread about her trying to steal client data, Renee, as a witness,
might get dragged into the situation.
The seasoned members of the board of directors would likely blow this out of proportion, and Renee might struggle
to defend herself later.
Jacquelin had a sudden idea. Instead of dealing with this on her own, it might be smarter to involve Renee and split
the profits!
She composed herself and gazed at Renee. "Frankly, I can't bear being at the Thompson Group any longer, but I
refuse to back down! Even if I leave, I want the Thompson Group's reputation in this industry to suffer.
"I intended to sell the client data. Earning some cash would be nice, but the crucial part is that our peers should be
aware the Thompson Group deals in client data trafficking. It might deter potential partners down the line!"
Renee was shocked. "This is illegal!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJacqueline smiled maliciously. "If you and I don't say a word, who will know who did this? Everyone will think that the
Thompson Group didn't do a good job when the truth comes out!"
Renee grew pale and bit her lip tightly.
"Ms. Renee, I know things aren't easy for you." Jacquelin tried to reason with her. "You're Ms. Pamela's cousin, but
now that Lena is seizing every opportunity, it's like she's trying to replace you! Can you swallow this humiliation?"
Renee's fists clenched.
As long as Lena's name was not mentioned, things were okay. Just hearing her name was like touching her raw
nerves. Apart from thoughts of revenge, there was no longer room for anything else in her heart.
In fact, she had also noticed that Lina was growing closer to Lena recently. She deliberately distanced herself and
instructed her secretary to say she was not in the office. Yet, Renee could see Lena delivering food to Lina.
Even more infuriating was that Lena would intervene and not allow her to get close to Lina at all!
Renee's breath grew more rapid, and her head throbbed as if all the blood in her body rushed there.
"Ms. Renee?" Jacquelin cautiously probed, noticing her agitation. "Are you alright?"
Renee remained silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "What do you have in your hands? Is it just client data from
the sales department?"
"What?"
"I know where the HR department keeps the personnel records, and I also know the codes for those lockers."
Jacquelin was astonished. "Ms. Renee, what are you planning to do?"
"Since the leak is inevitable, why not allow a bit more to trickle out?" Renee smiled coldly. "Release the employee
files and send them to the headhunter firms. This will escalate the situation more quickly! When those headhunters
begin calling one after the other, will the employees still find the motivation to work?"
Jacquelin froze. Was she aiming to completely destroy the company?
Even if she had many grievances against the Thompson Group, she would not go this far!
Despite that, this was actually good. With Renee involved, she would not have to take the blame for this!
Jacquelin immediately smiled flatteringly and followed Renee respectfully. The two of them quickly entered the HR
department.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Renee worked at the Thompson Group, Lina had never kept these things from her. She easily passed the
facial recognition check, input the password, and retrieved the employee records.
She flipped through them and suddenly came across a nearly blank sheet. She paused only to see Lena's name
written on it!
Lena's employment record was completely blank, without anything filled in.
Renee turned to Jacquelin. "Doesn't the Thompson Group require its employees to list their backgrounds when
they're hired?"
"Of course. I listed many things at that time," Jacquelin answered.
Renee asked, "If they don't list anything or intentionally hide their background, doesn't that go against the
company's rules?"
"Yes!" Jacquelin nodded. "Actually, it's not just the Thompson Group. Other companies are also quite strict about
personal information screening. After all, nobody wants to hire a criminal, right?"
'Criminal?' Renee frowned as a sudden thought struck her. 'Yes! How could someone like Lena be innocent? Maybe
there's a stain on her record, which is why she didn't fill it out!'
