In front of everyone, Mr. Smith, who had previously been very arrogant, bowed deeply.
The meeting room fell silent, the security guards were at a loss, Evan Palmer was dumbfounded, and the people from the R&D center were all stunned.
Evan Palmer truly didn’t understand what kind of trick Emily Parker used to make Mr. Smith suddenly bow and admit his mistake.
Just a moment ago, the meeting room was noisy, and the last few words exchanged between Emily Parker and Mr. Smith were spoken in hushed tones, so many people did not hear clearly what Emily Parker said.
"Emily Parker, what are you up to? Did you threaten Mr. Smith?
I warn you, Mr. Smith’s identity is not ordinary; if you offend him, even Carlos can’t protect you."
"Vice President Palmer, are you hard of hearing?
Didn’t you hear? Mr. Smith has already apologized and admitted he’s the plagiarist.
I think Mr. Smith will clarify everything to the media later. As for compensation, I think Junior President Carter will handle the follow-up."
Saying that, Emily ignored Evan Palmer, whose face was red with anger, and directly looked at Carlos.
Carlos also slightly frowned, clearly, today he was supposed to protect Emily, yet somehow he felt like he was the one being protected by her.
"Oliver Ross, you follow up on the subsequent matters."
"Carlos, such an important matter, how can it be entrusted to a small secretary to handle?
The decision regarding ST Automotive must be made by the board."
Evan Palmer, in a fit of anger, hurriedly called out to Carlos.
"Didn’t you say you’d expel me from the board?
Then let me inform you as well, from today on, Carter Automotive is leaving the Carter Clan Group."
Carlos opened the door and walked out without looking back.
The staff of Carter Automotive looked bewildered, but they all followed Carlos out.
"Vice President Palmer, just now, all the shares of Carter Automotive held by the Group have been acquired..."
"You brat! Come back here!"
Evan Palmer’s angry voice echoed in the meeting room.
Just stepping out of the meeting room, Emily let out a sigh of relief, when suddenly a hand pulled her into a nearby empty room.
She let out a light gasp, the man’s hand held the back of her head, pressing her forcefully against the wall. For original chapters go to novel✦fire.net
The familiar presence of the man engulfed her, Carlos’s breath fanned over her face as they gazed into each other’s eyes.
Emily’s heart sped up a few beats, it was the same feeling as last night.
"Emily, how many things have you been hiding from me?"
Carlos’s attractive eyes carried a hint of warning.
Emily’s heart tightened, damn, with today’s sudden events, in order to protect Carter Automotive’s new car, she forced Mr. Smith to admit plagiarism, which might lead Carlos to find out she is actually...
"Carlos, let me explain."
Emily had not intentionally kept secrets from Carlos, their marriage was still new, and it was a marriage by agreement, so she thought some things didn’t need to be explained.
"If not for this time, would you have kept your top hacker status from me?
Do you think you could have hidden it from me?"
Carlos gave a light snort.
The words already on Emily’s lips immediately retreated.
Emily’s small mouth opened slightly, Carlos’s gaze lingered on her rosy lips for a moment, he turned his face away, his ears a bit red.
"For you to make Mr. Smith bow to you and admit plagiarism, you must have intercepted the emails between him and Deity Owen, right?"
"Would I need to... Yes, indeed.
This matter is so covert, how did you find out?"
Emily forced a somewhat rueful smile on her face.
"Ha~, last time, because of that video incident in the cinema, I had to personally take action after you took down the entire Carter Clan’s computer team with a virus, making me watch a male-male video, do you remember that?"
Carlos recalled the video incident from the cinema, his voice slightly hoarse.
His hand that supported the back of Emily’s head gently caressed her hair.
Emily’s hair was very fine, smooth and black, like the finest Eastern silk, making Carlos reluctant to let go.
Emily showed a look of embarrassment,
"My memory isn’t great, sometimes I just forget things, you know, pregnant women have poor memory."
"Wait, are you saying you took personal action?
Was the hacker I fought against online actually you?"
Emily certainly remembered everything previously, she had put in a lot of effort to seize that video from the cinema.
The opponent sent a total of two groups, the first one she dealt with easily, but even she found the second one challenging.
If she hadn’t acted preemptively, that video could have been snatched away.
Emily didn’t expect that the computer hacker on the other side was actually Carlos himself.
Wasn’t Carlos a playboy?
Apart from his looks, everything else was empty; even his degree was bought, yet such a person could actually compete with her, a global top 3 hacker.
Emily grumbled in her heart, it seemed not only did she have secrets from Carlos, but Carlos also held many unknown secrets himself.
"In light of you risking exposure today to help Carter Automotive, let’s call bygones be bygones regarding the cinema incident.
I also mentioned in the meeting that I would grant you a 10% share in Carter Automotive."
"Let’s not discuss shares for now.
I’m just really curious, who brought the car design to the board?"
Emily hated betrayal the most.
The car design was very important, with recorded technical parameters, if Emily hadn’t arrived today, this design could have been leaked.
If ST Company got the design, they could develop an internationally leading new car, resulting in irreversible losses.
Emily had worked with the R&D center staff and believed they wouldn’t do such a thing, which heightened the need to determine who exactly gave the design to Evan Palmer.
Carlos’s expression also grew much more serious.
"Rest assured, I will give you an explanation for this matter, I already have Oliver Ross investigating it."
Just then, Carlos’s phone rang, it was Oliver Ross calling.
Only then did Carlos release her, sitting to the side.
"Hmm, the person has been found.
I’ll handle it later."
Carlos’s expression changed slightly, he hung up the call, not speaking for a moment.
"You found the person who sent the design?"
Emily pursued the question.
"Yes, it was Rainny White."
The name threw both Emily and Carlos into silence simultaneously.
