Chapter 121
Chapter 121: Colton muttered under his breath: That can't be true.

After all, for the past three years, Allison hadn't touched a computer.
His phone was an obscure brand that no one had heard of.
How could he know anything about hacking? Kellan's expression was still as icy as ever.
Some people are so stuck in their own bubble that they can't see beyond it.
Stop making a fool of yourself.
Allison shrugged nonchalantly and smiled.
Earlier, Mr.
Lloyd mentioned that some people were not invited to this exchange and that some uninvited guests had managed to sneak into the company.
And it's not very appropriate that, since his arrival, the company has suffered a cyber attack.
The timing seems a little suspicious, don't you think? Colton's irritation exploded as soon as he realized he was being accused.
Stop accusing us! What does this have to do with us? Allison, who found it exhausting facing people like Colton, lashed out with a sharp retort.
So why are you hanging around someone else's company? You slipped into the crowd and immediately caused trouble.
I have reason to believe that you are intentionally threatening the security of this place.
And I would never have imagined, Melany, that you would stoop so low as to join forces with him.
Maybe you're both trying to steal company secrets.
After all, you have some history, right? Melany felt the ground disappear beneath her feet.
That's not true at all! She was about to defend herself when Kellan's steely gaze pinned her down.
Get out or I'll have security throw you out.
In the end, both Melany and Colton were unceremoniously escorted out of the building by security.
Their faces burned with humiliation as they received a barrage of strange looks as they left.
Once outside the Charisma company, his anger only grew.
The Lloyd family has gone too far! Colton was so angry his fingers were shaking.
He was a CEO, after all.
Being treated like that – dragged around like a common troublemaker – was a stain on his dignity.
And if Allison was really dealing with that cyber attack, why didn't she speak up? It made us misunderstand her behavior, Melany complained as she clung to his arm.
He never missed an opportunity to stoke the fire.
He did it on purpose.
Colton clenched his fists and looked up at the top floor of the building, his face pale with fury.
He longed to knock Kellan down from his lofty position.
It was only because Kellan came from a better family that he believed he could act so superior.
Colton couldn't even pinpoint the source of his anger.
Maybe it was a mix of jealousy, frustration at seeing Allison do better than him, and the sight of her next to a man who clearly surpassed him in every way.
Just wait.
I'll seal the deal with the Everett Group.
He swore to himself that he would make Allison regret ever crossing his path.
Meanwhile, representatives from several companies attending the exchange had been led elsewhere by the staff for a guided tour.
They had all sensed that Kellan was tying up loose ends and wisely kept their heads down.
You should all focus on your tasks instead of wasting time on gossip.
Or you don't understand what is most prohibited in a workplace.
Kellan's gaze, colder than the winter frost, swept over the rioters.
Marc, the leader of the rioters, suddenly collapsed in fear.
I apologize, Mr.
Lloyd.
We didn't mean to.
Your year-end bonuses will be docked, Kellan said coldly.
Yes, Mr.
Lloyd.
Kellan walked over to Allison and thanked her thoughtfully.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Thank you very much, Miss Clarke.
If the database had been hacked, it would have been a serious problem.
His words carried weight as he looked into her eyes.
Also, Ms.
Clarke, your skills are impressive.
He even updated the firewall.
All the hackers I hired agree that it's real you.
