Chapter 194 Can’t I Give Him a Little Trust?
Alta fell silent for a while, telling herself not to get angry.
But after restraining herself for quite some time, she couldn’t hold back anymore.
Her damn intuition was as accurate as ever!
Alta’s tone turned cold as she looked at Jason, like she had heard a joke. She asked, “So, Jason, did you call me up here just to interrogate me?”
Jason stared straight at her and said, “Not an interrogation, just to inform you of the information I received.”
Alta couldn’t help but laugh!
Now Jason was acting like a tribunal, wasn’t he?
She felt a chill in her brows and eyes, her thoughts incredibly clear. She asked, “May I ask which high- level executive of Williams Group revealed this information?”
Jason looked at the middle-aged man beside him and told her, “This is Rohan, the manager of the Business
Department. He and the high-level executives of Williams Group were college classmates.”
Upon hearing this, Alta coldly looked at Rohan.
Rohan quickly spoke, “Ms. Rogers, I heard that the CEO hired you at a high salary to optimize our company’s formula, but is it appropriate for you to be so sneaky?”
His tone was sharp, saying, “Because of you, the company has suffered such huge losses. How do you plan to take responsibility?”
As Rohan spoke, he had an aggressive stance, attacking right from the start.
He immediately pinned the blame on Alta like she was the thief.
No one’s face could look good when falsely accused like this.
Alta’s face turned icy. She raised her gaze, responding, “What an audacious accusation… Rohan, right? You’re accusing me right off the bat, saying that I sold Hill Group’s formula to Williams Group. So, can you tell me the exact time of the transaction?”
“Did I contact them through email or personally meet with them at Ling Corporation?”
“And what is the amount of the transaction? Do you have any evidence? If you don’t, it’s just empty words, and I can sue you for defamation, you know?”
Alta’s expression was cold. The aura emanating from her was no less imposing than that of Jason.
Rohan seemed taken aback by Alta’s assertiveness. He hesitated for a moment before retorting.
“I’m stating the facts! First of all, the CEO investigated the three individuals in the Research Lab 2. They have no issues, not to mention they are all long-standing employees of the company. They had no contact with anyone from Williams Group during the formulation development and optimization period, let alone any significant financial transactions…”
Rohan looked at Alta and continued, “But you, you’re an outsider to Hill Group. Moreover, Williams Group has already admitted to this!” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
With that, Rohan took out his phone and started playing a recording.
It was a phone conversation recording.
At first, it was Rohan making a call, reprimanding his old classmate from Williams Group.
“You guys at Williams Group stole the formula and started selling it. Don’t you feel shameless? You’re a big company, a prominent family. Acting so unscrupulously, aren’t you afraid of tarnishing your own reputation?”
“I’m telling you, if Williams Group doesn’t stop this behavior, just the act of stealing the formula, Hill Group doesn’t mind going to court with you!”
As Alta listened to Rohan’s questioning on the recording, it didn’t sound fabricated.
And he was genuinely defending the company’s interests….
Her eyebrows furrowed deeply in response to the content of the recording.
Then, another voice appeared in the recording.
The other party replied to Rohan, “We were old classmates, don’t be so angry! Williams Group did nothing wrong in this matter. We paid money to buy the formula, okay?”
Rohan couldn’t help but curse, saying, “Bullshit! This is clearly Hill Group’s formula, and the copyright is in Hill Group’s hands. Who has the authority to take it and sell it?”
But the other party said, “Naturally, it’s the developer…”
The recording continued, but Rohan only played it up to this point.
Rohan looked at Alta and asked, “Do you have anything else to say?”
Alta’s gaze was icy.
Listening to the entire thing, the chain of evidence and the logical sequence were all very clear.
If she weren’t the one caught in the trap, she might have believed it.
However, she definitely wouldn’t bear this blame.
“What is mere hearsay as evidence? Who can’t make claims. with their mouth? Besides… I can also investigate the financial aspect!”
Alta spoke in a calm tone.
Rohan chuckled like he had caught Alta’s loophole. He said, “You already anticipated this step, right? That’s why during the transaction, you had Williams Group transfer the money to an overseas account! The recipient’s name isn’t yours. You’re indeed cunning!”
Alta’s expression turned unpleasant.
At this point, she understood very well that someone was trying to frame her…
In an instant, Gail’s face flashed through her mind.
Besides her, she couldn’t think of anyone else!
Seeing Alta’s expression, Rohan became even more convinced of her guilt.
He took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and consulted with Jason. He asked, “CEO, Ms. Rogers is not an outsider but an assistant at ZL Company. It’s inevitable that she may have had wrong intentions due to money. The evidence is conclusive now. How do you suggest we handle this matter?”
Jason’s face remained cold and expressionless. He didn’t respond and kept his gaze on Alta, seemingly waiting for her to speak.
Alta met his gaze. Her clenched hands were tightening even more.
During this period, she had suppressed her thorns to get closer to Jason.
But at this moment, they all surfaced again.
Her lips curled up in a mocking smile as she asked Jason, “So… do you also think it’s me who sold the formula?”
Him a Little Trust?
Jason noticed the change in her emotions and calmly asked her, “Do you have it then?”
Alta gritted her teeth. She replied, “I don’t! But if I say that, will you believe me?”
Her tone became even more sarcastic, like she had determined that Jason would think that way.
It was like, when he was caught in the midst of public opinion back then, he had the same attitude.
Jason felt somewhat uncomfortable.
He was even a little angry!
Did this woman think he also doubted her?
Couldn’t she give him a little trust?
“CEO, since she did it, she definitely won’t admit it.”
Rohan couldn’t help but interject.
Alta, who never had a good temper, immediately retorted, “What nonsense evidence? Just based on a few words from Williams Group and so-called fake accounts, you want to convict me! Are you all judges? Who give you such audacity?”
“You… You’re unrepentant.”
Rohan was left red-faced by her rebuttal.
“Enough!”
Jason’s eyes darkened and his expression turned cold like covered in frost. He said with displeasure, “Did I say she did this? Why are you so eager to convict her? She’s right… Just a few words from Williams Group are not enough evidence! Williams Group doesn’t have the credibility to earn my trust yet!”
