Noticing his downcast gaze, Sheena stood up and walked over, gently caressing his tente face.
“Silly, of course I know it wasn’t you. I never doubted you for a moment.”
This incident was clearly a ploy to sow discord.
If Elliot had truly intended to steal the plans, it would not have been done through a subsidiary of the Jenkins Group.
After all, projects planned by subsidiaries were relatively independent and did not require reporting to the parent company. They would only submit marketing reports monthly and annual summaries yearly.
The other party knew that Elliot could not control the subsidiary’s project release, doing so deliberately.
Sheena’s words brought comfort to Elliot, who squeezed her hand in return.
“I’ll get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation.”
Sheena nodded. “The project was released by a subsidiary of the Jenkins Group, so that’s where you need to investigate. However, the Lawson Group’s proposal was leaked from this building. I’ll handle that.
Conducting investigations simultaneously would double their efficiency. Even so, Elliot was still
concerned.
“You promised to give them an explanation in half an hour, but it’s unlikely we’ll uncover the truth in
that time frame.”

Sheena smiled calmly, bending down to lightly kiss his lips.
“Don’t worry, I’ve got this.”
Her sparkling eyes exuded confidence.

Elliot gently caressed her delicate hand, comforted and reassured by her trust.
Half an hour later, Sheena approached the conference room doors, hearing various noises from
within
She listened quietly for a moment before signaling to Ria.
With a creak, Ria pushed open the heavy doors of the conference room.
As Sheena entered, the executives fell silent, rising to greet her.
Sheena walked gracefully to the head of the table, maintaining her composure and elegance as she
took her seat.

Rafale, who had challenged her authority in the previous meeting and faced the consequences, was notably quiet today.
Sheena glanced at him briefly, remaining silent and composed, waiting for the executives to speak.
“Ms. Lawson, you promised to give us an explanation in half an hour. What do you have to say?”
“Have you questioned Mr. Jenkins about the leaked project proposal?”
“After all, the project proposal conveniently ended up with the Jenkins Group. Isn’t that too much of a coincidence? You should be wary of Mr. Jenkins!”
“Ms. Lawson, our employees meticulously prepared this proposal over nearly three months. Now, it’s been snatched away by the Jenkins Group. What do you propose we do about it?”
Sheena smiled faintly, her expression still calm.
“Firstly, I must correct your choice of words. It’s the Jenkins Group’s subsidiary, not the Jenkins Group itself!”
Aidan Bray, one of the Lawson Group’s executives, stood up to question.
“Does that make a difference, Ms. Lawson? In the end, the proposal ended up with the Jenkins Group, and they’re the ones who will profit. How can you be sure it wasn’t Mr. Jenkins himself trying to sever ties by deliberately handing over the project to the subsidiary?
“You and Mr. Jenkins are together all the time. He might have taken advantage of your distraction to steal the plans. After all, you can’t provide any concrete evidence of his innocence.”
Sheena chuckled. “Who says I don’t have evidence?”
As soon as she entered, she heard them relentlessly blaming Elliot. It was as if he were already a notorious villain in the eyes of the Lawson Group’s executives.
All the executives fell silent, waiting for Sheena to speak.
Facing everyone’s stare, Sheena signaled to Ria.
Ria immediately approached, handing a piece of evidence to Sheena.
Sheena picked up the evidence. Her actions were deliberate.
“The Jenkins Group’s subsidiary has an employee named Yasmin Elba. She was dismissed by her manager from the Lawson Group a month ago for making mistakes. While at the Lawson Group, she was involved in the Windsail Project.”
As she finished speaking, her gaze became sharp, and she slammed the evidence onto the conference room table.
An angry atmosphere permeated the entire conference room, with an oppressive force making it
difficult to breathe.
Sheena smirked sarcastically. “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Before the facts are clear, you’re

already questioning my fiance. Have you forgotten that I’m the CEO? If you can’t stand me leading the Lawson Group, then remove me through an open vote!”
