The hacking incident at the Wickam Group had leaked again.
The skinny colleague was indeed a blabbermouth. He went around and told people whatever the
chubby colleague had told him. Not only that, he exaggerated the story and made it into a thriller love
story.
The public's opinion of Elisa had worsened, and everyone was badmouthing her. The entire Wickam
Group had turned into a purgatory for Elisa.
However, she still didn't explain the situation.
As the new program was about to be breached, Gareth promptly replaced a new program to counter
the hacker's advances.
There were notions about Gareth's actions in the IT department.
"Do you think Mr. Wickam doubted Elisa?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I think so. Otherwise, why didn't Mr. Wickam revamp the program with her? After all, she is a top-notch
programmer."
...
Another three days went by.
Elisa hadn't clarified the matter to Gareth at all. That day, Gareth had made it clear to her that he bore
suspicion against her. Elisa thought it was futile to clarify the matter. But Gareth seemed committed to
carrying on the collaboration with Benett Corporation.
Elisa had been exceptionally quiet throughout this time.
Meanwhile, Gareth's frustration and wrath had burgeoned. He had become even more short-fused.
Great. This woman doesn't give a f*cking d*mn after so many days!
Then, three days later.
Another meeting was held about Elisa's project. This was the first time Elisa and Gareth had seen each
other in nine days.
At the conference table, Elisa was seated on the host's right.
Thomas was seated right opposite Elisa.
Gareth didn't spare Elisa a glance throughout the meeting.
Just when Thomas was standing in front of everyone, ready to delve into the objective of the meeting.
Suddenly, a woman in formal business attire stood up. She prodded her glasses on her nose bridge,
stared at Gareth, and said, "Mr. Wickam, I'm sorry. But before we begin this meeting, I need to discuss
an important matter related to this project with you."
Her voice was solemn, and her expression was glum.
Everyone held their breath and tensed up their body. Obviously, everyone knew what she was going to

Gareth looked at the woman stolidly without saying a word. He pressed his lips into a line. His frigid
aura terrified every single one of them, and no one dared to speak a word.
Although Gareth didn't say anything, his implicit gesture indicated she had his green light to speak up.
The woman was not a regular employee given the opportunity to be in the meeting with Gareth. She
immediately spoke up, "I have profound doubts about Ms. Benett. Our company has never run into any
problems over the years. But ever since Mr. Wickam and Ms. Benett divorced, she gradually
manifested herself as a confederate with our competitors. Now that she's back in Wickam Group, I
thought she would let go of the past and be committed to contributing to the company. But, after a
series of incidents in the company, I have second thoughts about Ms. Benett's credibility."
She didn't state the incidents expressly, but everyone was cognizant of the recent scandal that had
stirred up a storm in the marketplace and the internet. Everyone knew what her concerns were.
After she finished speaking, everyone looked at Elisa, waiting for her response.
There was a hint of hostility in Gareth's cold gaze. Everyone can't help but cower under his
domineering aura.
Thomas looked conflicted. He glanced at Gareth but ultimately didn't say a word.
