Chapter 280 With a Clear Conscience
Feeling the man’s cold gaze, Adele slowly clenched her fists, paused, and softly said, “I’m sorry, there are some unexpected situations…”.
No one gave her the privilege of not coming to work. It was her own fault for not coming to work, and she did not blame others.
Adele knew that she was in the wrong. She took a deep breath, and before Damon could speak, she had already bowed and apologized. “I’m sorry, Mr. Yusuf. I will pay attention next time.”.
Seeing this, Damon swallowed the words that had rushed to his mouth, paused, and asked coldly, “Do you have anything to say about the project proposal?”.
Hearing this, Adele’s heart skipped a beat. The matter of the project proposal being leaked, she took the initiative to ask Damon first. This was a completely different concept.
And now, as soon as Damon spoke, she was already in a passive state.
If Damon mentioned it first, it meant that she had already been suspected by him.
Gritting her teeth, she looked up at Damon and said word by word, “The project proposal was indeed given to Manager Chen according to your request. I have not done anything wrong to Yusuf Group.”
Her tone was certain and she did not hesitate at all.
Damon frowned slightly and his face darkened a little.
She looked quite magnanimous, but the fact that the proposal had been leaked was inextricably linked to her.
“Do you know that Tai Xing signed a contract with the JV multinational corporation in the end?” Damon asked coldly as he picked up the pen on the table.
Hearing this, Adele was a little surprised.
She had heard about the JV multinational group. This company was not small, but its strength was still inferior to Yusuf Group. However, it also had its own resources and channels. It was an opponent that could not be underestimated.
Unexpectedly, this 700 million project was finally spent on the JV. It was really unexpected.
But these were really coincidental.
“I don’t know.” Adele took a deep breath and looked up at Damon.
When Damon heard this, his hand holding the pen suddenly tightened, and his eyes were cold. “Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?”
“Do you know who is in charge of the JV project?” he said.
“It’s Kevin,” he answered before Adele could say anything.
It was the Kevin who had once been close to Adele.
Hearing this, Adele was stunned. This name was both familiar and unfamiliar to her, but she had not heard this name for a long time.
A few seconds later, Adele suddenly realized what Damon meant. He was suspecting her and suspecting that she had leaked the proposal for Kevin!
“I didn’t know it was him. I haven’t seen him for a long time.” She widened her eyes and looked up at Damon in shock.
Seeing the panic flash across the woman’s face, Damon pulled the corners of her lips and said lightly, “Is that so? But isn’t all this too coincidental?”
After the project proposal was leaked, the one who benefited the most was JV. The company’s project proposal had also passed through her hands. She also knew and knew the person in charge of this project. All these coincidences were too much for people to imagine.
Seeing the expression on the man’s face, Adele’s heart tightened a little. She was a little angry. She gritted her teeth and said, “I have a clear conscience. If you really want to put this crime on me, I have nothing to say.”
At a time like this, since Damon refused to believe her, even if her whole body was full of mouth, she could not say for sure.
Seeing the woman like this, Damon frowned and said coldly, “Since this matter has nothing to do with you, how can you prove your innocence?”
It was not enough to say that he believed her. She had to take out evidence to prove her innocence. Only in this way could she stop the public from talking.
Adele was speechless for a moment. She gritted her teeth and could not speak.
She had no evidence at all. There was one person who could prove it. It was Clara. Clara got out of the car halfway. Speaking of which, she still had a chance to commit the crime.
All her thoughts were stuck here, and there was no clue.
Finally, the man glanced at her coldly and said coldly, “Alright, you can leave first.”
Adele took a deep breath, responded, and turned away.
The moment the door closed, Adele felt a chill in her heart.
In fact, when she was silent for a moment just now, she had thought things through a lot. She was indeed very suspicious of this matter. She was not afraid of others accusing her of misunderstanding. What she cared about the most was whether he would believe her from the beginning to the end.
From Damon’s attitude just now, she already understood that he did not believe her. Even though they had known each other for so long and had experienced life and death situations together, he still refused to believe him.
After work, Adele was a little absent-minded. Just as she was about to leave the company, she suddenly thought of Owen and picked up her phone to call him.
“Hello, Ye An, how are you?”
At this time, he should be resting at home.
“Adele, it’s me,” Emily said with a smile.
“My brother is asleep, so I picked up the phone for him,” she said deliberately.
“How is he now?” Adele asked softly.
“I was planning to go home. I was already at the entrance of the hospital. I didn’t expect my brother to suddenly feel dizzy. I had no choice but to continue staying in the hospital. When I received the news, I rushed over.”
“What?” “Does that mean we still have to continue observing in the hospital?” Adele’s nerves tightened.
“That’s what the doctor said. He was afraid that there would be blood clots, so he had to do an examination.”
Hearing her say this, Adele thought for a moment and said softly, “Have you eaten?” If you haven’t eaten, I’ll buy some food nearby and send it to you. It’s a good time to see him. ”
“Okay, it’s too boring for me to be alone in the hospital.”
After chatting with Emily for a while, Adele hung up the phone, bought something, and went directly to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, Adele went to the nurse station and asked for the ward number. Owen was still in the original ward, so she went straight to the hospital.
In the ward, Owen had already woken up. When she saw Adele coming over, her eyes lit up. Emily, who was beside her, also rushed over excitedly. “Adele, you finally came. I was bored to death alone.”
“Alright, alright. I brought you some food. There are bentos and snacks. Take a look and see what you want to eat.”
Adele put down the big and small bags in his hand and chatted with them. For a moment, the cold ward was filled with warmth.
After eating, Adele looked at Owen and asked, “Ye An, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?”
Owen looked as gentle as ever and said slowly, “Nothing. It doesn’t matter if you continue to stay in the hospital for a few days until the stitches are removed. I can work here.”
Seeing that he was in good condition, Adele heaved a sigh of relief.
Soon, a nurse came over to check, and Emily took the opportunity to pull Adele to the side to chat.
“Oh right, Emily, isn’t it almost Saturday? Aren’t you going to Yi City to make preparations in advance?”
“I was going to go, but now that my brother is injured, you still won’t let me tell my parents. My good sister, of course, has to stay by my side.”
“Then what about your performance?” Adele asked hurriedly.
“Don’t worry, I’m just going over a little later. I won’t delay the performance.” Emily patted her shoulder when he saw her worried expression.
“Alright, you can go to the performance. If there’s anything, I’ll help take care of your brother here.” Adele nodded.
Suddenly, a trace of cunning flashed in Emily’s eyes. He chuckled and asked, “Adele, don’t tell me you like my brother?”
