Chapter 187

The most urgent matter was not personal grudges, but uncovering the truth behind the data breach.

Anna Ross clenched her fingers.

Chloe Valentine's behavior today had revealed too many flaws.

She was likely involved.

But there was no solid evidence yet.

And Chloe was currently the favorite in Grandpa's eyes.

She needed to find a breakthrough quickly.

Meanwhile.

Chloe Valentine returned to her office in her high heels, dark fire burning in her eyes.

Although most of her plan had succeeded, Adrian Sinclair's protection of Anna still stung.

She slammed the door shut.

Her nails dug deep into her palms.

Anna would leave the company eventually.

But before that, she couldn't let that fox have any chance to get close to Adrian again.

How could she tolerate some lowly woman taking everything that rightfully belonged to her?

Absolutely not!

Chloe glanced coldly out the window.

She suddenly remembered the way Lucas Evans looked at Anna.

That undisguised admiration might become a weapon in her hands.

If she could push them together, there would naturally be no room left for Anna beside Adrian.

That's it!

She curled her lips into a smile and walked straight to Anna's workstation.

Anna was focused on her work and didn't look up.

Chloe snorted disdainfully but suppressed her anger, putting on a mask of false kindness.

"Executive Assistant Ross, you seemed quite familiar with the client we met today?"

She pulled over a chair and sat down, blocking the way.

Anna glanced up, her gaze icy and indifferent.

"What does that have to do with you?"

Chloe cursed inwardly but maintained a gentle smile.

"I noticed he was quite taken with you. If you're willing, he might help you resolve this crisis."

She leaned in and lowered her voice.

"If the project goes smoothly, not only could you avoid blame, but the cooperation could also be saved."

Anna almost laughed.

Trading emotions for profit?

She had miscalculated.

"Miss Valentine, do you think this is a joke?" Anna asked expressionlessly.

Chloe raised an eyebrow.

"A joke?"

She had offered an olive branch, and this woman dared reject it.

Then don't blame her for being ruthless.

Anna suddenly stood up and stepped closer, her gaze sharp as a knife.

"Let me ask you something. Did you leak the confidential data?"
