Hypnotizing Love

Chapter 170 Decision Made

Since his boss let him spit it out, Ben didn't hide it again. He nodded and continued, "After I received

Ms. Reed's proposal, Ms. Gardner came to my office. She also delivered a proposal. On the way, I

went to make a cup of coffee for Ms. Gardner and left the proposals in the reception room. Ms. Gardner

was the only person in that room at that time..."

Upon hearing it, everyone understood.

Amber's proposal had been changed by Makenna.

Jared looked down, feeling disappointed.

"Nonsense!" Trenton patted the desk and stood up. Glaring at Ben, he snapped, "How dare you

slander Makenna! Jared, this is your good special assistant, isn't he?"

In fact, he also realized that it was Makenna who had changed the proposal.

However, he wouldn't admit it.

"Mr. Gardner, I'm a righteous man with integrity. I told the truth just now. If you don't believe it, I can

show you the surveillance record of the reception room," Ben retorted unhappily while looking at

Trenton.

He had worked for Jared for several years. Finally, he had achieved his current position. Why would he

take the risk to slander someone for no reason? And that person was Makenna Gardner.

If he did so, his career would definitely be ruined.

Trenton paled instantly upon hearing that Ben could show him the surveillance record.

Amber said ironically, "Mr. Gardner, you do have a filial daughter. To help you gain the qualification, she

could do such a shameless deed."

"Exactly. We are so impressed by your daughter," someone echoed.

Trenton blushed and paled, feeling so embarrassed that he wished to vanish right away.

He had never been so ashamed like this moment, even not when he was arrested by the police.

After all, when he was taken into the police station, the public didn't know what he had done. However,

this time, it was different. All people in this room knew Makenna had stolen another person's proposal.

They would even think he had manipulated it. Trenton could imagine how others in the business circle

would talk about him in the future.

For a moment, Trenton's heart was filled with hatred.

He hated Amber for exposing the proposal was hers. Why didn't she accept the result and keep her

mouth shut?

He hated Jared for not handling this matter in private. Of course, he hated that stupid Makenna more.

"Mr. Farrell." Seeing Trenton couldn't utter a word, Amber turned to Jared on the chairman's seat.

"Since the truth has been found, what's your proposal to deal with this matter? Will you let Mr. Gardner

keep being the business partner, or..."

"Since the truth had been found, I announce, Trenton's qualification will be canceled. The place will be

offered to Ms. Reed. Do you have any objections?" Jared interrupted her words and glanced at other

attendees.

Others shook their heads. "Of course not."

Let alone that Trenton's qualification should belong to Amber, they also finished reading her proposal. It

was excellent indeed.

"What about you, Mr. Gardner? Any objection?" Jared called Trenton particularly.

Trenton said reluctantly, "No."

Even if he had, what could he do?

Jared nodded and looked back at Amber. "None of them has objections. Do you agree with this

decision?"

"Sure." A trace of happiness flashed through Amber's eyes.

Finally, she had won the place of the business partner.

She had won against Bernardo in the bet.

Amber clenched her fists tightly in excitement.

Jared could feel how delighted she was. A trace of amusement flashed through his eyes and

disappeared instantly. Raising his chin, he was about to say something when Amer suddenly said,

"However, Mr. Farrell, it's not enough."

Other's eyes lit up when they heard her words, becoming interested.

It seemed Ms. Reed was quite ambitious. Besides exposing the truth and winning the place of the

business partner, she seemed to aim at more things.

Trenton snapped in anger, "Amber Reed, don't push your luck too far!"

Amber glanced at him indifferently. "Push my luck too far? I'm a victim. Of course, I must fight for my

own interests and rights. What's so wrong with it? Mr. Gardner, you are the wrongdoer. Instead of

apologizing to me, you blamed me. Haven't you gone too far?"

"You..." Trenton rolled his eyes in anger.

Ignoring him, Amer looked at Jared. "Mr. Farrell, I submitted my proposal, but it was stolen in your

company. You are the president of the Farrell Group, so you should be responsible for it, right?

Otherwise, who will work with your company in the future? Who dare entrust you with their fruit of

labor?"

"I agree with Ms. Reed," someone nodded and chimed in, "Mr. Farrell, you should be responsible

indeed."

Jared stood upright. "The Farrell Group should be mainly responsible for this incident. I apologize to

you on behalf of my company, Ms. Reed."

He stood up, put his hands on his belly, and bowed at Amber as he spoke.

So did Ben. "Ms. Reed, I was too careless, so your proposal was stolen. I'm terribly sorry."

Seeing they apologized, Amber looked less annoyed.

Then, she looked over at Trenton. "Mr. Farrell had apologized. What about you, Mr. Gardner?"

"Do you want me to apologize as well?" Trenton widened his eyes in disbelief.

Amber smiled. "What's so wrong about it? Although you didn't steal the proposal, who knows whether

you had instructed Ms. Gardner to do so? Even if not, you wanted to hide the truth initially and tried to

deny the proposal was mine, didn't you? Not until Ben said he could show the surveillance record did

you finally admit it. Shouldn't you apologize to me?"

"I agree with Mr. Reed, Mr. Gardner. We all witnessed the things that happened. Just now, you insisted

that it was your proposal, not Ms. Reed's. We knew what was in your mind. Please apologize to Ms.

Reed. Or you'll disgrace yourself more," someone said with a smile.

Trenton shivered in anger, but he couldn't retort. Otherwise, others would mock him more.

He took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart. Then he looked at Amber gloomily. "All right.

I'm sorry. Are you happy now?"

"Although you apologized reluctantly, Mr. Gardner, I'll accept it reluctantly as well." Amber said with a

smile.

Trenton almost couldn't catch his breath.

Accept it reluctantly ...

He remembered the grudge today.

"Ben," Jared said, "Please inform the staff. In the future, if Makenna comes to the company, she must

have an appointment ahead. She can't come upstairs to my office directly."

Ben pushed up his glasses. "Yes, Mr. Farrell."

"Jared, you..." Trenton gaped at Jared in disbelief. How could he do it?

Amber also couldn't believe what she had heard.

Jared looked at her through the corner of his eyes. Then he looked at Trenton and said coldly,

"Makenna switched the proposals. It's a punishment to her."

Trenton's lips parted. He was rendered dumbstruck.

Amber glanced at Jared.

She had never expected that he would punish Makenna as he had always been tolerant to her without

any bottom line.

The sun must have risen from the west.

"Jared, I'm not feeling well. Please excuse me," Trenton said after taking a deep breath.

If he continued staying here, he would be disgraced to death.

Jared knew he wanted to flee. Nodding slightly in agreement, he said, "Ben, please walk Mr. Gardner

out."

"Yes, Mr. Farrell," Ben answered. Then he gestured at Trenton.

After Trenton was gone, Jared clapped his hands. "All right. Let's go on."

Only then did Amber sit down.

Trenton rushed back to the Gardner's.

Mrs. Gardner was wearing a facial mask. Seeing him come back, she was surprised. "Honey, why did

you come back so soon? Is the meeting over?"

"Meeting? Damn that meeting!" Trenton smashed his briefcase on the sofa. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Mrs. Gardner took off the facial mask. "What on earth happened?" she asked.
