Emily Parker abruptly shifted the focus, suddenly pointing to the delegation from ST Automotive.
This sudden change of events instantly left everyone on the board, including Carlos, stunned. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovelfire.net
The members of the ST Automotive delegation looked even more displeased. Mr. Smith snorted coldly,
"Miss, you Chinese indeed are cunning enough to know what it means to call a thief to catch a thief.
It’s clearly you who plagiarized us, yet you turn around and accuse us of plagiarizing you. Just based on your recent statements, I can sue you."
Evan Palmer glared harshly at Emily Parker. This woman is truly a troublemaker; the original plagiarism issue with Carter Automotive hasn’t been resolved yet, and now this defamation entanglement. Emily Parker is a jinx.
"Emily, apologize to Mr. Smith and the representatives of ST Automotive right now."
Evan Palmer commanded Emily in a stern and righteous manner.
"I didn’t speak incorrectly, so why should I apologize?"
Emily picked up the design sketch on the table.
"Mr. Smith, are you certain that this design sketch plagiarizes your team’s new car?"
Her gaze locked onto Mr. Smith, and she had a pair of remarkably clear eyes. As Mr. Smith looked at her, he inexplicably felt a bit guilty inside.
In fact, the main inspiration for ST Automotive’s design sketch did not originate from Smith himself...
Smith felt somewhat guilty, but soon came to terms with it, thinking,
"Impossible. Apart from that person, no one else knows the inspiration for this new car."
That person is elusive like a dragon, and Smith had only previously consulted them remotely with a few questions.
Back then, ST Automotive had spent 500 million and couldn’t get that person to provide a design sketch. Carter Automotive couldn’t possibly persuade him to come out either.
"Mr. Palmer, it seems your designer is unwilling to apologize.
In that case, I’ll see you in court."
Smith cast his eyes aside, no longer paying attention to Emily Parker.
"Mr. Smith, we ask for your generosity. Emily cannot represent the entire company.
We will immediately have her removed, and moreover, the terms you mentioned earlier, we will consider them carefully."
As Evan Palmer spoke, he glanced over at Oliver Ross.
"Boss, I’ll take the lady boss out right now."
Oliver Ross, worried the issue would escalate and be detrimental to the boss, intended to convince Emily Parker to leave.
But Carlos raised a hand and waved,
"No need, let her continue speaking."
Though unsure of what Emily wanted to do, Carlos instinctively chose to trust her.
"From this moment on, everything Emily says represents my words, representing Carter Automotive.
Moreover, she owns 10% of Carter Automotive’s shares, and no one here can remove her."
Carlos declared decisively, and his words almost made Evan Palmer faint with anger. That spendthrift Carlos had actually given so many shares of the automotive plant to this woman.
Emily was slightly surprised and glanced at Carlos; she hadn’t expected Carlos to stand so unwaveringly by her side.
Her heartbeat involuntarily quickened by two beats.
"There’s no need to say anything more.
We withdraw our previous proposal,
ST Automotive will surely sue you."
Mr. Smith lifted his head with pride, preparing to leave.
"Mr. Smith, since you say your automotive plant has already developed a new car, I want to ask you: can you disclose the technical reference data of your new car?"
As soon as Emily said this, Mr. Smith’s expression visibly paled.
