Chapter 38: Drugging

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Outside the meeting room, Clair quietly followed behind the two of them. Seeing that the two of them had stopped, Clair also found a corner and activated his mind-reading ability again.

After so many uses, Clair discovered another use of mind-reading ability, which was to use it as a ‘listening device’. He found that when a person wanted to say something, it would always go through his mind. At this time, as long as Clair was within a certain range, he could listen to the entire conversation, just like right now.

‘Boss, what do you want me to do?’ The voice of the young man could be heard in his mind.

‘Simon, you should know how important this project is to us. We have to win this project.’

‘Although I’m confident in our company’s strength, I’ve decided to use some methods just in case.’

Clair peeked his head out and saw the owner of Borderless Design take out a small white bag from his pocket.

‘Boss, what is this?’

‘Don’t worry about it. Put this thing in a glass of water and send it to that woman later.’

‘What? Boss, if we are discovered…’

‘Don’t worry, these are just some laxatives. I just want her to miss the interview.’

‘Alright, I got it.’

The two of them walked back to the meeting room as if nothing had happened. Clair waited for a while before he followed them back to the meeting room.

This group of people actually wanted to use such a despicable method. Since he had discovered it, he naturally would not let them succeed.

Clair returned to Amelia’s side quietly.

A few minutes later, a young man came up to Amelia with a glass of water.

Without saying anything, the young man took away the water that Amelia was drinking and replaced it with a new one.

“Thank you,” Amelia thought it was a staff member of the museum and thanked him.

The young man smiled and left.

Clair snorted coldly. This young man was the man named Simon whom he had seen outside the conference room just now.

After the young man left, Amelia was a little thirsty, so she picked up the glass of water and drank it.

“Don’t drink!” Clair stopped her in time.

Amelia was confused. “What’s wrong?”

“This cup of water has been tampered with!” Clair said calmly.

Hearing this, Amelia put down the glass of water in disbelief.

“Who is it?” Amelia was surprised.

Clair did not say anything. Instead, he looked in the direction of Boundless Design.

“It’s them?” Amelia asked curiously. “How did you know?”

“When I went to the bathroom just now, I accidentally heard it. They put laxatives in the water to make you miss the interview.”

Hearing this, Amelia frowned, and she could not help but feel a little angry. Although they had a competitive relationship, it was too much to use such underhanded methods!

“What are you going to do?” Clair asked softly.

Amelia thought for a moment and made a decision.

“I don’t think we need an interview. Since they’re using such underhanded methods, we’ll beat them at their own game.”

Ten minutes later, the interview officially began.

Eric walked out. “Borderless Design Company, you guys go ahead for the interview.”

Upon hearing the notification, the boss of Borderless Design walked to his office.

He turned to look in the direction of Amelia, and when he realized that Amelia was no longer there, he could not help but chuckle in his heart.

However, when he walked into Jack’s office, Amelia followed him in.

“Ma’am, it’s not your turn yet,” Eric reminded.

The boss of Boundless turned around when he heard the voice, but when he saw Amelia, he was surprised.

“Why is she here?”

“Why? Are you surprised to see me?” Amelia snorted and walked into the office, ignoring Eric’s reminder.

Jack, who was in the office, also noticed this scene and looked over with a frown.

“Didn’t I let the people from Borderless Company interview first?”

“Chief Curator, I’m sorry. I have a question for you. If someone cheats, how will you deal with it?”

Hearing Amelia’s question, the boss of Boundless Company shuddered.

Jack looked puzzled, but he still replied, “If anyone cheats, I will directly disqualify them. Someone cheated?”

Jack looked at the boss of Unbounded Company.

Amelia turned around and glanced at the boss of Boundless Corporation. She snorted and turned to Jack. “Curator, this person asked his company’s employees to put laxatives in the water I drank. He wanted me to miss the interview!”

“Bullsh*t!” The boss of Unbounded Company, who had been exposed, instantly became anxious.

Jack’s expression turned ugly when he heard Amelia’s words.

“Do you have evidence?”

“There are witnesses and physical evidence!”

The boss of Borderless Company could not help but tremble.

“Chief Curator, don’t listen to her nonsense. She must be afraid of our company’s strength and is slandering me here!”

“We at Dawn do not care about doing such despicable things. We value this project very much, but we will not do anything despicable just to win the project.” Amelia raised her head and looked at the boss of Boundless Design with contempt.

Looking at their expressions, Jack realized that what Amelia said might be true, and his face turned ashen.

“If it’s really like what you said, I won’t let that cheater off. Not only will I disqualify him, but if necessary, I’ll call the police and let the police handle this matter!” Jack said to Amelia, but his words seemed to be directed at the boss of Borderless.

At this moment, the boss of Borderless Company looked nervous. His shirt was soaked in sweat. He was afraid and regretted hearing Jack’s words. How could he have thought of drugging her?

However, he was more confused about how Amelia knew that he had arranged for someone to drug her.

After a moment of silence, the boss of Borderless sighed helplessly.

“Chief Curator, our Borderless Design Company has decided to forfeit.” After saying this plan, he felt as if his entire body had been emptied. It was not easy for him to get to this step. He was about to win this project and his company could take advantage of it to rise to the top. In the end, all his efforts were for naught!

“Are you sure you want to forfeit?” Jack asked.

He could tell that what Amelia said was true. In order not to cause more losses, giving up was undoubtedly the best choice.

The boss of Borderless Design Company lowered his eyebrows and nodded helplessly. Without waiting for Jack’s response, he left the office in a daze.

Jack did not expect this to happen, but it did not affect him much. After reading the first draft, he was more biased toward Amelia.
