Chapter 308
Chloe Valentine walked in slowly, holding Grandpa Frederick's arm.
Noah Watson immediately greeted them respectfully.
Anna Ross gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.
The old man's gaze swept over her, his expression cold.
He allowed Chloe to support him as they moved toward the office.
Chloe glanced back at Anna.
Her eyes held clear triumph.
Anna lowered her gaze and continued working.
She was long accustomed to such cold treatment.
She focused on completing her tasks.
Finally, she finished all her work just before two o'clock.
Grandpa Frederick attended this meeting personally.
Chloe naturally followed by his side.
"Adrian, let Chloe stay with you."
The old man took both their hands and placed them together.
"She can assist if anything comes up."
Adrian Sinclair frowned slightly.
He quickly withdrew his hand.
"Understood, Grandpa."
Chloe's face stiffened instantly.
She hesitated before retracting her hand.
She shot an awkward look at the old man.
"Let's go."
Adrian walked to Anna's side.
He took the documents from her hands and began reviewing them.
Chloe glared at the two with resentment.
Grandpa gently held her hand.
"Don't mind him. You're the only one I recognize as my future granddaughter-in-law."
Chloe's eyes reddened.
She nodded obediently.
Hatred for Anna surged within her.
She would never easily let go of this woman who dared to seduce the man she loved.
Inside the conference room.
The client had been waiting for some time.
They stood up immediately upon seeing the group enter.
Anna looked up.
The other party had only brought two assistants.
The person in charge showed a flicker of surprise upon seeing her.
Though brief, she caught it clearly.
Did he know her?
Adrian happened to witness this moment.
His expression darkened instantly.
Grandpa and Chloe entered afterward.
The partner was flattered to see the Chairman in person.
They hurriedly offered warm greetings. "Chairman, it's been too long!"
Grandpa smiled and exchanged pleasantries.
Anna silently glanced at the client's information.
Leon Castillo.
She was certain she didn't know this person.
After the pleasantries, the meeting officially began.
Anna sat beside Adrian.
She was responsible for note-taking and handing over documents.
Chloe's gaze remained fixed on the two.
Her eyes seemed ready to spit fire.
"What is this?"
Leon Castillo's expression suddenly changed drastically.
He pushed the proposal toward Adrian.
"Your proposal has issues."
Adrian took the proposal and carefully reviewed it.
His frown deepened.
Leon looked at Grandpa with regret.
"Chairman, I truly wish to cooperate."
"But this set of data clearly plagiarizes another company."
Plagiarism?
Anna's heart skipped a beat.
Who would dare do such a thing?
Grandpa coughed violently in anger.
Chloe's eyes flickered.
She hurried forward to pour water and gently patted the old man's back.
Adrian slammed the proposal on the table.
He looked coldly at Chloe.
"I recall this was your responsibility."
All eyes instantly focused on her.
Chloe looked panicked.
"I... I don't know what happened."
