Chapter 74



Clyde looked like he was on the verge of boiling over, suppressing something fierce.

I pulled my hand away and rubbed my wrist.

"Quit the drama, you know what's up with Mack. The Aspire World project can't be delayed."

"If you don't wanna do overtime, you're welcome to cover the Aspire World compensation yourself."

I was sure, despite his frustration, he wouldn't jeopardize the work.

After all, we're talking about a compensation that could skyrocket to millions. No company would want to fork out that kind of money unless absolutely necessary.

As expected, he didn't push further, just mumbled under his breath.

"You could move to the Patterson Group offices, you know. Aren't those fancy offices big enough for you?"

"I'm just worried about screwing up, okay? Is my hard work worth nothing, only to be trashed again?"

I stared him down, already set on digging to the bottom of this matter. Otherwise, Jade would keep facing obstacles at the company.

"What do you mean? Mack got caught, didn't he?"

Clyde seemed lost, so I shook my head.

"Mack is just a fall guy. I don't know why he took the blame, but it wasn't just because he hated me."

"That night, Kayla went to the security department pretending to be you, then deleted all the footage during a so-called system upgrade. So, no clue who got into the office."

"But I'm sure, Mack was plastered. With that level of booze in him, not just him, even a bull would've hit the floor."
