The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 333

Yvette's face turned ghostly pale. She thought, 'How could it turn out like this?' Keith was confident that Caroline was not the mysterious expert, wasn't it?

The competition ended. Shakira waited for her team to return to NI meeting room. They heard a noisy commotion inside. just as they reached the entrance. Shakira was about to go in when David, who had lagged a step behind, suddenly took two big strides forward, blocking her way. He chuckled arrogantly. "Ignorant girl, let's see how you handle this now." After saying that, he walked right in. Seeing Charles who smiled and stood up to greet, he went straight to shake the extended hand. Both Charles and the others were lost for words.

David, who was convinced that Shakira and her team were done and was unaware of the announcement on "Warmth" website, assumed that the project was a sure thing and started bragging. "Don't worry, Mr. Gordon. I'll supervise Mr. Clark throughout the course. He's very capable. With his skills and our team's effort, I believe we'll complete this task excellently," said David.

As he said this, he shot a taunting glance at Benton. Unexpectedly, Benton burst out laughing, clutching his stomach.

David sneered. "Benton, how can you still be laughing."

"Uh? Haha." This made Benton laugh even harder, like a crowing rooster, unable to say anything else.

David shook his head and thought, 'Look at that. Benton really can't stand losing. He's gone crazy over such a small issue.

At this moment, his reliable secretary Jeff quietly came up to him, trying to keep his head low. "Mr. Harris, take a look up."

David was not happy. "What are you whispering about? Speak up

Jeff took a deep breath and spoke clearly and loudly, "Mr. Harris, look at the screen. Our team lost."

"What did you say?" David was taken aback, lifting his head to look at the screen frozen in the final frame ahead. His eyes widened in shock as if he had been struck by lightning. Charles finally pulled his hand away, wiping the sweat from his palms. "David, you've messed up this time."

David's mind went blank, with his entire body stiff for a moment. Suddenly, he turned and grabbed Keith, almost pushing his head against the screen. "Didn't you say we had this won?"

Keith looked alarmed. He thought it was impressive to have broken through nearly 40%, and hadn't figured that the opponent was merely 0.01 away from breaking through the firewall of the top security team domestically.

"Th-there must be something wrong with this. No one could have done this, especially against the Lopez Group-" said Keith.

"You think others can't do it just because you can't do it?" Sean retorted sharply. "Keith, Warmth has already announced it. You impersonated a lead engineer to gain personal benefits; get ready to receive a letter from Warmth's lawyers." Terrified, Keith confessed immediately. "No, this has nothing to do with me. I'm not the one pretending. It was her who told me to say I was a key team member. It was all her idea."
