In contrast to her usual stern and aloof demeanor, Molly Wellington exuded an innate charm that allowed her to easily manage the hearts of others.

The senior executive, who usually stood firmly by Stella Brown’s side, didn’t think twice before pushing Stella Brown into the spotlight: "It was... Secretary Stella... Secretary Stella said she saw a thief entering your room. We were just concerned about your safety, so we all came to take a look."

The male colleague added, trying to curry favor, "Secretary Wellington, I was just concerned about you too."

Molly Wellington smiled, "Thank you for your concern... But I was sleeping soundly in my room, and didn’t see any thief at all. Mr. Brown, where is the thief you mentioned? Your room isn’t across from mine, so how could you have seen a thief coming into my room in the middle of the night... Or are you playing a prank and waking everyone up at night?"

"I... I..." Stella Brown didn’t expect Molly Wellington to open the door herself.

Her original plan was that, with so many people she had called, Molly Wellington and Johnson Williams hiding inside would certainly panic.

By then, they would refuse to open the door.

At that time, she would incite everyone to break the door down, and when the door was broken open, they would be caught red-handed, catching Molly Wellington and Johnson Williams in the act.

Having inappropriate relationships within the company, especially during an important negotiation period, if this matter was confirmed, Molly Wellington’s position as the leader of the negotiation team could be stripped away.

Unfortunately...

Despite calculating everything, Stella Brown didn’t expect Molly Wellington to take the initiative and open the door herself.

She was certain that Johnson Williams must be hiding in the room, he must still be there!

Stella Brown quickly regained her composure and simply laid her cards on the table: "Secretary Wellington, I did see someone enter your room. As for why I saw it at this time, it wasn’t intentional.

Our rooms don’t have bathrooms, so we have to go out to use the public ones... It was such a coincidence that I happened to see you and Zhao..."

"Ah——" It was as if she suddenly realized she had misspoken, Stella Brown let out a small cry and quickly covered her mouth.

However, the "Zhao" she said was already heard by others.

One male colleague, not thinking much of it, directly asked, "Stella, are you trying to say you saw Secretary Wellington and Johnson Williams together? Then why did you say it was a thief? What really happened, explain clearly."

"I..." Stella Brown looked helplessly at the other colleagues, then fearfully at Molly Wellington, as if Molly’s presence made her afraid to speak the truth.

At this moment, Maggie finally couldn’t stand it anymore.

She put on a stern face and said in a serious tone, "Stella, just say whatever you have to say confidently. There are so many colleagues here, and I’m here too.

If you’ve discovered anything, you can say it clearly, there’s no need to use terms like ’thief’ to muddle through.

Royal Palace is a top-listed company, and the behavior of any employee is subject to shareholder oversight."

"... Sylvia, I understand." Stella Brown pursed her lips, seemingly making up her mind, and turned to face Molly Wellington.

Her face displayed a kind of resolute determination.

And Molly Wellington continued to lean against the doorframe leisurely, looking calmly at Stella Brown.

Those almond-shaped eyes, glistening with clarity and a hint of mockery, seemed to say, "I’m watching your performance."

Stella Brown pretended not to see the irony in Molly Wellington’s eyes, gritting her teeth as she said, "Fine, at this point I can only tell the truth. I admit, I deceived everyone, the thief was just a random excuse to get everyone here.

In reality, I discovered... I discovered someone in the company was using private matters for personal gain, engaging in inappropriate relationships."

"Oh, and how are these inappropriate relationships?" Molly Wellington asked, with a smile even tugging at the corners of her lips.

Stella Brown’s eyes flickered, puzzled as to why Molly Wellington could still appear calm at this moment.

She speculated this was just Molly Wellington’s last stand.

Maybe Molly Wellington, now, was already scared to death inside.

Thinking this, Stella Brown gained another layer of courage, saying, "You know full well what’s going on between you and Johnson Williams. Every night, under the pretense of working overtime, you’re actually secretly seeing each other. Tonight, Johnson Williams escorted you back to your room. How else could I catch you red-handed if I didn’t call for a thief!"
