Chapter 821
The conference room fell silent as if everyone became mute, obediently bowing their heads to listen to
the instructions.
“This incident has already been discussed with Elliot,” Sheena declared. “He’ll notify the subsidiary to halt this project immediately. As for our end, we’ll make slight adjustments to the Windsail Project, wait for the dust to settle, and then reintroduce it to the market.”
With her orders given, Sheena asserted, “Meeting adjourned!”
Then, she swiftly walked out.
Exiting the conference room, she still felt a tremble in her heart, her legs feeling a bit unsteady.
In truth, half an hour was nowhere near enough time to unravel the whole matter, and Yasmin was merely a temporary scapegoat found to stabilize the situation quickly.
Sheena needed to hush all discussion about the incident, present a solution, and then privately investigate the actual culprit to deal with them discreetly.
Perhaps it was her overwhelming rage, but all the executives were baffled by her sharp rebuke.
Assisted by Ria, she quickly returned to the CEO’s office.
Elliot had already peeled the clementines for her and delicately arranged them on a plate, waiting to soothe her anxious heart.
As soon as she entered, Elliot got up and carried her to the couch, personally feeding her the clementines to ease her nerves.
After eating two clementines, he asked, “Feeling any better?”
Sheena carefully considered before responding, “Much better.”
Thinking back on the unexpected event, she quickly became serious again and continued, “We still need to uncover the mastermind behind this swiftly. Otherwise, they might try something again, thinking they can get away with it.”
“Agreed.” Elliot’s expression turned grave. “I’ll prioritize handling this matter before the end of the day and give you an update by tonight.”
Sheena raised an eyebrow lightly, teasing him, “What if you can’t provide an update tonight?”
“I’ll take full responsibility for the Lawson Group’s financial losses and assist you in dealing with it.”
Sheena chuckled and gently caressed his face, teasing, “You talk as if you aren’t already at my disposal.”
Elliot was rendered speechless by her comment.
“But having a formal agreement does make things more proactive!” Sheena added.

“I agree,” Elliot agreed with a light chuckle.
After a brief chat, the two quickly returned to work mode.
Just five minutes before quitting time, Elliot stood up and let out a long sigh.
“Nana, we’ve already found the culprit,” Elliot announced, placing his laptop on Sheena’s desk to show her the evidence.
It turned out that Rafael was the person who leaked the information from the Lawson Group.
Feeling embarrassed by Sheena’s public punishment a few days ago, Rafael had a grudge. As he participated in the Windsail Project’s planning, he sold the entire proposal to Stanley.
Stanley was desperate for recognition, especially at his current age. Peter even begged Santiago for a long time about it.
Santiago had previously intervened to get Stanley into the company for development. Still, Elliot was hesitant to place him directly in the Jenkins Group, so he arranged for him to be placed in a subsidiary
instead.
Unfortunately, Stanley was still ungrateful even in the subsidiary. He saw an opportunity to cause a crisis of distrust between the Lawson and Jenkins families, with Rafael aiming to undermine Sheena’s position.
After listening to Elliot’s account, Sheena’s expression darkened.
“Rafael made false accusations and stole company secrets, nearly costing the company billions. I won’t let him off easily!”
Elliot nodded in agreement.
