“Why should I ask you?”

Jake sneered. “Keira, this is a personnel change within the Horton Group, your opinions are irrelevant.”

“What about Dr. South’s opinion?”

Keira’s tone was very light, with a hint of mockery in her expression.

Jake was taken aback. “What does Dr. South’s opinion have to do with you?”

Could she know Dr. South?

The smile on Keira’s lips grew colder. “I am…”

Before she could say the words “Dr. South”, Luca suddenly stepped forward, blocking her way.

“I’ll follow Jalen’s instructions!”

Keira’s pupils contracted in shock as she looked at

Luca.

The other members of the team also laughed and

chimed in.

“Yes, we’ll follow Jalen’s instructions!”

Keira looked incredulously at the team members.

Just half an hour ago, they were attacking her for not working effectively, but now, they were unequivocally standing with her.

Jake wasn’t just a deputy head of the R&D Department, but he was also the legitimate grandson of the Horton family.

Once his power became invincible, how could these people, who had enraged him, continue to work at Horton Group?

But they weren’t considering this at all…

Keira’s throat tightened, and there was a smile in her

eyes.

Jake’s face grew even uglier. He suppressed his anger and sneered. “It seems that the pressure of R&D on you all isn’t as much as I thought, hence the lack of need for Dr. South’s help. In that case, I presume the final task of this project wouldn’t be much of a challenge for you all? Have the solution submitted by the end of this Friday.”

The entire project timeline was divided into two parts, with teams one and two responsible for one part each.

The biggest challenge of the project was to perfectly integrate these two parts.

Handing over this task to Group One wasn’t an issue. Jalen could certainly solve the problem in a couple of months. However, Jake had only given them a week!
