Chapter 314
"No wonder Andy wouldn't givethe project while you managed to secure yours so easily... It turns out you
promised him benefits," Harold seethed. His
expression darkened as he connected the dots. Without giving Yvonne a chance to explain, he slapped her hard
in front of everyone.
"You fool! Do you know that bribery is a serious crime? If the authorities decide to prosecute, | won't be able to
protect you!"
Harold was furious. His slap sent Yvonne tumbling to the ground.
She was dazed and shocked. She covered her face and tried to stifle any cries, letting out only small, muffled
sobs. She had never seen him this angry.
"| suspected how a young woman with no experience in business could secure the Dunhill Group contract so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteasily-it turns out you used underhanded methods! Do you realize how much damage your foolish actions could
cause Henderson Group?"
Harold was genuinely enraged and deeply concerned about the future of their company. Associating with
commercial crcould jeopardize their ability to secure other contracts in the future.
"Yvonne, how could you do this? I'm so disappointed in you!" Diana said, understanding the situation, and glared
at Yvonne with equal fury. Just minutes ago, Yvonne had been her pride and joy; now, she felt Yvonne was like an
enemy. "How could you take such matters into your own hands?"
"Mom, I..."
As Yvonne's tears welled up, she felt her last glimmer of hope fading. She had thought Diana would defend her
and understand her intentions.
But the harsh words from Diana shattered her last fantasy.
Yvonne suddenly recalled something Yolanda had said and felt a chill run down her spine.
"Yvonne, do you really think she loves you?"
In despair, she buried her face in her hands, grappling with the pain of her
mistakes. Had she indeed been unforgivable? Especially when it wasn't even her fault...
That's right! She hadn't actually fought for the contract!
Caught off guard by Harold's slap, she momentarily forgot that she had taken Yolanda's credit.
"Yvonne, you must cwith us for questioning!" Yehuda remained
expressionless, signaling to his colleagues to approach.
"Also, Mr. Harold Henderson, as Henderson Group's legal representative, you'll need to accompany us for
questioning."
Two officers stepped closer before grabbing Yvonne and pulling her off the ground. They prepared to escort her
outside.
Suddenly, Yvonne struggled fiercely, shouting, "It wasn't me! It wasn't me! It was Yolanda! She's the one who
bribed! She negotiated the contract, not me!"
"Yvonne, what are you saying?" Both Diana and Harold looked at her in shock. "Didn't you take your dad to the
hospital and secure the project with Mr. Frick?" "No, it wasn't..."
With no choice but to save herself, Yvonne spoke the truth.
"Actually, it was Yolanda who took Dad to the hospital. Riley said it was Yolanda who negotiated the project. It
has nothing to do with me... really! | just wanted your approval, so | colluded with Riley to lie..."
"Riley lied, too? That traitor teamed up with others to deceive me!"
Harold slapped Yvonne again.
"And you! You're so young, yet you lie so easily. You're grounded for a week!"
Diana turned to Yehuda, saying, "Officer Pace, it's all a misunderstanding..."
