The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 332

Shakira lowered her gaze slightly. "Since we have two Virmo software engineers here, why don't we see who is more skilled and more qualified to collaborate with Lopez Group?"

David sneered, glaring at Shakira with a sinister look, "A little girl like you think you get to decide things around here? Just because you say so?"

"And if she doesn't get to decide, do you?" Sean's typically easygoing tone turned icy cold.

David was instantly choked up, his face turning red with frustration. Charles, instead of immediately responding, turned to Sean. "Mr. Reynolds, what do you suggest?" After all, the head of Yonder Digital wasn't someone they could afford to offend easily. Sean shrugged casually. "I'll listen to her." With Shakira in charge, Sean naturally deferred to her.

Those simple words left the crowd in awe. They thought, 'How close must they be for a high-ranking company president to listen to an intern so obediently? Anyone else would have left in a fit of rage at being questioned

Charles's expression softened slightly, impressed by Sean's willingness to cooperate. He also supported Shakira's suggestion for a skills test. It would clarify the current messy situation and help elect the best partner, benefiting all parties involved. Yvette secretly observed Charles's expression, easily guessing his thoughts. She bit her lip in frustration, not expecting Sean, the CEO of Yonder Digital, to protect Shakira to such an extent.

Taking a deep breath, she put on a facade of cooperative retreat. If Shakira wants a test, then let's do it."

Charles nodded, "Since both sides have no objections, how do you two engineers suggest competing?"

Caroline glanced at Shakira and said to Keith, "You decide."

Keith raised his voice. "Ladies first. Ms. Goodman can decide, and I'll accept whatever she chooses." He was confident that he could beat her, no matter the challenge.

Seeing Caroline in a bit of a bind, Shakira arched an eyebrow and suddenly suggested, "How about you both test your skills by trying to breach Lopez Group's newly reinforced firewall? We'll judge by the progress made." The entire marketing team stared wide-eyed, and even Charles's mouth twitched.

They thought, 'Who the heck asks someone to attack their own company's firewall? Good thing we aren't from the security department, or this would be a nightmare!' Caroline didn't hesitate and blinked. "Sure."

Keith knew just how tough Lopez Group's security team was. But seeing the prompt acceptance from Caroline, he couldn't back down. "I have no problem with that."

Charles waved his hand, instructing his assistant, "Contact the tech department to prepare."

Shakira interjected, "Mr. Gordon,
