The director was slightly stunned. “What third possibility?”

However, Jake rebuked sternly, “Keira, stop making excuses here. I advise you to admit your mistakes obediently. The company may be lenient in punishing you for your first offense!”

Jalen immediately turned his eyes to her. “Keira, explain to us. What exactly is going on?”

Keira answered, “The third possibility is that Dr. South’s plan never arrived at Jake’s hand. He’s slandering me.”

Upon hearing this, Jalen glared angrily at Jake.

Jake, however, seemed surprised at her response. He chuckled and said, “When we were in school, I didn’t realize you had such a thick skin. Of course, I wouldn’t accuse you without solid evidence!”

Jalen asked, “What evidence?”

Jake pulled out his phone, opened a screenshot, and handed it to Jalen. “This is the plan that Dr. South sent to Isla last night. Isla was delayed due to an issue and forwarded it to me in the afternoon. From the timing, Dr. South’s submission was earlier than Keira’s! If that is not enough to clarify things, I have a witness!”

Keira narrowed her eyes.

It turned out that the culprit wasn’t Jake but Isla!

She thought back carefully. Last night after work, she passed by the second floor of the inpatient department. At that time, Mrs. Olsen went in for an examination, and Isla had a stomach ache. So, Keira went with Mrs. Olsen instead…

At that time, Keira’s computer was left in the ward.

But how could Isla know her computer’s password?

Keira clenched her fists slightly.

“Nothing to say now, is there?”

With a cold laugh, Jake said to the general manager, “This incident is absolutely appalling. The company must deal strictly with Keira! If necessary, we can call the police! After all, she dared to steal Dr. South’s research. If Dr. South hears about this, I’m afraid he’ll never work with Horton Group again!”

The general manager hastily spoke, “This scandal is also harmful to the company. Let’s hold off on reporting it to the police. The Administrative Department has already left for the day. How about this? First thing Monday morning, we’ll submit all the evidence to the Administrative Department to see what they decide to do!”

Jake didn’t object. He looked at Keira and said suggestively, “Spend the next two days thinking hard. If you realize your mistake, you can come to me. If your apology is sincere, I may consider not publicizing this matter and treat it as a minor blunder… But of course, if you don’t repent, don’t blame me for not considering our past as classmates!”

Having dropped this hint, he and the general manager strode off.

Once the two men had left, the members of Group One gathered around Keira. “There must be some misunderstanding here. Miss Olsen, did you ask Samuel Morgan for help?”

Keira was touched that the team didn’t blame her. “Don’t worry. I’ll prove my innocence.”

If she revealed her true identity and explained the situation, all the misunderstandings would be cleared up. NôvelDrama.Org content.

However, Jalen didn’t believe her the last time…

The patent certificate and company seal that could prove her identity had been taken abroad by Samuel for a project.

It seemed he would return next Monday.

Thinking about this, she smiled and looked at her colleagues around her.

By that time, their expressions would surely be humorous…

After leaving work, Keira went to the underground parking lot.

She got into the Bentley but didn’t see Lewis.

However, Tom was in the passenger seat. “Mr. Horton has a meeting to attend to. He’ll leave later.”

Keira immediately said, “I can take a taxi.”

“You don’t have to. Mr. Horton told me to drop you off first.” After Tom instructed the driver to start the car, he glanced at her, dissatisfied. “Miss Olsen, you shouldn’t rush things in your line of work. Dr. South is not someone you can interfere with casually. You created quite a stir in the R&D department.”

Keira raised an eyebrow in response but remained silent.

Tom continued. “Don’t think that being protected by old Mrs. Horton and the boss allows you to do anything you want. In the field of research, theft and plagiarism are the most intolerable!”

Keira pulled out her earphones, put them in her ears, and blocked out his voice.

Tom was speechless.

The car soon arrived at the hospital.

As Keira was climbing up the stairs, she was stopped by Taylor on the second floor. “Shirley wants to see you.”

She followed Taylor to Mrs. Olsen’s ward.

Mrs. Olsen was about to be discharged, and Aunt South had already packed her things but hadn’t left. They were obviously waiting for Keira.

Mrs. Olsen saw her come in and immediately asked, “Keira, what’s this about you stealing Dr. South’s plan? I don’t believe that’s something you would do!”

Taylor disdainfully said, “With the evidence now at hand, Jake only gave her a warning because she’s part of the Olsen family. What’s there to not believe? Shirley, you trust her too much! I’ve said long ago, that with the blood of Poppy Hill running through her veins, she can’t be a good person!”

Mrs. Olsen shouted angrily, “Shut up! Keira, speak up. What’s going on?”

Mrs. Olsen’s worried expression made Keira’s eyes a little moist.

She knew that Mrs. Olsen genuinely cared about her.

Just as she was about to speak up, Isla acted as if she had been wronged. “Keira, how could you be so foolish! I know you want to achieve something at Horton Group to earn more respect from old Mrs. Horton and Mr. Horton, but you can’t just take whatever you want! If you wanted Dr. South’s plan, you could have told me, and I would have given it to you! How could you steal it from my computer?”

Steal?

Keira let out a cold chuckle.

As expected, Isla was behind everything!

Taking a step forward, she asked, “Who’s the one who took things without asking?”

Isla put on a wronged face. “What do you mean? Are you trying to have me cover up for you? Or should tell people that your plan is the same as Dr. South’s, and everything is just a coincidence?”

Keira calmly responded, “Of course, it’s not a coincidence. You obviously stole my plan!”

“Nonsense!” Taylor became so furious that he picked up a broom from the floor and started hitting her. “You made a mistake, and now you’re trying to throw dirt on your sister? You deserve a beating!”

Mrs. Olsen immediately stopped him. “Taylor, don’t be so reckless!”

Taylor yelled, “Shirley, did you hear that? She’s so arrogant! An undergraduate student is claiming that such a complex plan from Dr. South is hers! It’s just a joke, utterly ridiculous! She’s simply not worth your concern! She’ll have to bear the consequences of her own evil deeds!”

However, Mrs. Olsen said, “But if Horton Group calls the police, Keira could end up in jail!”

She took out her phone, “It’s really quite simple to deal with this matter. As long as Dr. South doesn’t pursue it, it will be fine. I’ll call South right now.”

With that, she dialed Dr. South through WhatsApp voice call..
