Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Patrick, however, calmly withdrew his hand, expressionless, and stood up, walking out of the conference hall directly.

Jane followed suit at a leisurely pace.

Candice shot Jane a fierce glare, then quickly caught up with Patrick’s steps.

Just as they stepped out of the main entrance, a group of journalists who had been waiting swarmed around.

“Mr. Pansy, we heard that Pansy Group just lost the North Bay project by a one-dollar difference. Can you share your thoughts on this?”

Morton, with a keen eye, intercepted the journalists, “I’m sorry, Mr. Pansy is not available for interviews.”

The journalists turned their attention to Jane, bombarding her with questions.

“Miss North, as the person in charge of the North Bay project, what are your thoughts on today’s events?”

“Pansy Group lost the North Bay project by a one-dollar difference. Do you think there’s more to this story? Can you reveal any details?”

Jane furrowed her brows, about to speak when Candice abruptly walked over from the side and spoke into the microphone.

“You’re right. Pansy Group lost the North Bay project by a one-dollar difference. It’s evident that there’s a traitor in the company who leaked the base price. And this traitor is Jane!”

The journalists, excited, surrounded Candice.

Pansy Group having a traitor was major news!

Moreover, there were rumors that Candice and Jane were rivals.

This situation was not simple.

“Miss Dillon, can you provide more details?” The journalists surrounded Candice.

“Candy!” Patrick, who was walking ahead, halted, turned around, and his icy gaze swept over Candice’s face. “Don’t speak out of turn!”

“I didn’t speak out of turn…” Candice bit her lip, a hint of grievance in her voice. “It’s just that, originally, it was Jane who…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Patrick took a step forward, his handsome face filled with frost. “Shut up!”

His powerful and icy aura made Candice tremble.

Hatred-filled eyes stared at Jane.

At this moment, Patrick was actually defending Jane?!

Jane felt Candice’s intense animosity and subtly curled her lips. “Candice, you probably know who the traitor is, right?”

Seeing that Jane had more to say, the journalists redirected their questions towards her. “Miss North, what did you mean by your previous statement? Are you implying that Miss Dillon is the traitor?”

Morton quickly intercepted the journalists. “I’m sorry, no comments.”

The group returned to Pansy Group. Just as they reached the lobby, Jane was about to return to her seat when Candice loudly called her, “Jane, stop right there!”

Jane casually spoke, “What’s the matter?”

Candice persisted, “Patrick, today we lost the North Bay project, obviously because someone leaked the base price.”

Pausing for a moment, Candice, unlike her previous delicate appearance in front of Patrick, fixed a cold and stern gaze on Jane, proclaiming loudly, “And that person is Jane!”

She had carefully planned for so long, allowing someone to steal the base price data from Jane’s computer, secretly sending it to Winston, all to make Jane carry this big blame!

Patrick was determined to win the North Bay project, but this time, he lost to Antony by a one-dollar difference.

No matter what, Patrick would definitely punish the person who leaked the base price.

Jane, you’re done this time!

Seeing Candice’s determined look, Jane sneered, “Candice, since you insist that I leaked the base price, do you have any evidence?”

“Of course!” Candice glared at Jane, “For the North Bay project, only you and Patrick knew our base price at Pansy Group. Patrick wouldn’t leak it, so other than you, who else could it be?!”

Jane’s lips curled with a mocking smile. “So, you firmly believe I leaked the base price, and the reason is that simple, Candice? Do you know that falsely accusing someone is illegal?”

“False accusations?” Candice’s eyes flickered with coldness. “Jane, even facing imminent danger, you still deny it? You caused Patrick to lose the North Bay project, and Pansy Group suffered such huge losses. What benefits did you gain from BPL that made you harm Pansy Group’s interests like this?!”

She leaned toward Patrick again.

“What we need to do now is to immediately hold a press conference, clarify this matter to everyone, and then expel Jane as the traitor! Only this way can we turn the tide.”

Candice’s voice was loud, and everyone in the lobby heard it.

Reports of Pansy Group losing the North Bay project were already circulating online, and now, hearing Candice’s words, everyone stared at Jane with a mixture of astonishment and disdain.

But with Patrick present, no one dared to breathe loudly.

Patrick furrowed his brows. “Let’s discuss this in my office.”

“Sure.” Jane followed behind Patrick, speaking nonchalantly.

Candice couldn’t hold back her urge to attack Jane.

However, Candice underestimated Jane. Her tricks were nothing special.

Once inside the CEO’s office, Candice couldn’t wait and grabbed Patrick’s arm. “Patrick, you won’t let this go, right? You must severely punish Jane!”

“Candice, accusing me of leaking the base price just because I knew the bid amount doesn’t seem very convincing,” Jane taunted.

“It’s not just that!” Candice coldly looked at Jane, then turned to the expressionless Patrick. “Patrick, the day before yesterday, when we finished work, I happened to see Jane getting into Antony’s car.”

“Really?” Jane pursed her lips and spoke casually, “Candice, if I’m not mistaken, Antony didn’t get out of the car that day, right? How do you know it was Antony’s car? Do you know Antony’s housekeeper or recognize his car?”

“I don’t know him, but I saw him get into that car in the parking garage of the bidding hall.” Candice’s eyes flickered.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Is that so?” Jane glanced at Patrick. “Candice has always been with us, right? How come I haven’t seen Antony’s car? Have you?”

Before Patrick could respond, Candice’s eyes turned cold. She took out her phone and opened a photo.

Candice handed the phone to Patrick. “Patrick, take a look at this.”

Jane glanced at it dismissively.

In the photo, it was her and Antony.

From the angle of the photo, Antony was holding a check and handing it to Jane.

“Jane, how much money did you take from Antony to betray Patrick and Pansy Group?!” Candice sternly questioned.

Jane smiled, lifting her lips. “Candice, didn’t you just say you don’t know Antony? How do you have this photo? If I remember correctly, there were only him and me present at that time, right?”
