Chapter 1458 - 746: Falsely Accuse Her
She was more certain it was Helena who had leaked the designs.
She had guessed it before. The reason she didn't let Mr. Watson looked into this incident so much that it wasn't a glorious thing after all, and it wouldn't be good for H & C Inc. if it escalated.
Heather had planned to tell Alexander in private. After all, Helena was a veteran worker who had followed Alexander for years, so Heather thought she should let Alexander deal with her. Before Alexander returned, she would at least give her face.
However, Heather didn't expect Helena to falsely accuse her first. Sure enough, if a person were shameless enough, he would be invincibly shameless.
"Impossible!" After a short silence, the people in the conference room screamed.
If Helena had said this before the meeting, presumably they would have believed her, but now they didn't suspect Heather at all! Helena's face darkened. She didn't expect the design department would have such a reaction!
Wasn't Heather a newcomer who had only been here a few days? How could she be so popular! Why?! Why did Alexander like her, and so did all these people?!
"Helena, is there some misunderstanding?" asked Mr. Watson, feeling torn. "As an employee of the design department, Heather is so concerned about the design department that she would never do such a thing..."
"There's no misunderstanding!" Helena gritted her teeth and impatiently interrupted.. "Mr. Watson, you've been an employee of the company for many years. I hope you can keep your eyes open. Don't be fooled by some people! What you should do now is to suspend the employee who leaked the designs and find out which company she is working for and why she sneaks into H & C Inc. If necessary, we can call the police and even sue her!"
The voices of the discussion grew louder. It was clear that everyone wasn't pleased with what Helena had just said.
Mr. Watson, who was frowning, was clearly dissatisfied. However, Helena was Alexander's secretary, and she had always known his temper, so Mr. Watson wondered if Alexander would handle it the same way.
It was true that Alexander valued Heather, but Heather didn't want to have special treatment, so no one knew their real relationship.
"Hold on," Heather began in an indifferent voice. "I have a question."
"What do you want to ask?" Helena looked at her with provocation in her eyes.
Heather folded her arms and said calmly, "I remember... you should be the President's secretary?"
"Heather, you're asking a question whose answer you've known!" Helena frowned in displeasure.
"So you know you're just a secretary. You're not the President, nor the vice president, nor even the department manager. What... makes you think you can call the shots in the design department? Don't you think, as a secretary, that's not your business at all?"
Her words made everyone look strangely at Helena. Indeed, because Helena was the President's secretary, they had been misled and thought that she represented Alexander's attitude.
But come to think of it, she was just a secretary. She wasn't Alexander in person!
Helena gritted her teeth. She had no idea that Heather would be able to accuse her at that point. However, Heather would be disappointed because she had already been well prepared since she dared to walk into this conference room.
Helena suppressed her anger as a touch of pride flashed in her eyes.
"Heather," she said indignantly, "You're too stubborn. That's great. Let's go to the vice president now!"
Heather's eyes were deep. It looked like Helena had had the perfect plan and wanted to get rid of her today. Heather did want to see what else Helena had prepared. She was also curious as to why this woman was so hostile to her.
There was more than one vice president at H&C Inc.., but they were all outside on business, except for one who happened to be at the headquarters.
Heather's heart sank when she saw the vice President. The vice President whose surname was Lee, had a good relationship with Helena.
He was a little unkind, and what he didn't do like most was pulling the string. He seemed to have some misunderstanding about Heather. Every time he saw her, he would be mean.
Mr. Watson, Helena, and Heather came to Mr. Lee's office. After hearing the whole story, Mr. Lee looked at Heather in disgust and then asked Helena, "Helena, it's true that Heather is suspicious, but we need proof, and we can't just guess."
Heather raised her eyebrows slightly. Although Mr. Lee said they couldn't just guess, he was on Helena's side.
"What do you mean, Mr. Lee?" Mr. Watson also figured it out. He asked in an angry tone, "You believe Heather is suspicious before we have any proof?"
"That's just my personal guess," Mr. Lee said, his cold eyes scanning Heather. Then he spoke, as if he were just, "But I won't depend on it. We won't judge until I see the proof."
"I have proof!" Helena said proudly.
Mr. Lee looked at her encouragingly. "Helena, say it."
"I heard that the designs at Skyline Corporation were provided by one of their newcomers who happened to be a student at Quantum University and a classmate of Heather's!" Helena blustered.
"What can that prove?" Mr. Watson was furious as he snapped, "Quantum University is one of the top universities in the country. Every year many companies scramble to hire graduates. How can that prove that there's something wrong with Heather only because they're classmates?"
"Mr. Watson, aren't you too partial?" Helena said with a sneer. "The newcomer of Skyline Corporation took out Heather's designs. Do you still think it's normal? Besides, it is said that the newcomer once chased Heather! Who knows what their relationship is? I didn't think in this way at first, but when I asked a hacker friend to hack into the newcomer's email, we found something surprising!"
With that, she took out her phone and presented it to Mr. Lee. "These are some screenshots from my friend. Yesterday, someone sent an anonymous email to the newcomer of Skyline Corporation saying she had managed to get H & C Inc. to use the designs. As long as he cooperatively helped release these designs ahead of time, they would be able to catch H & C Inc. off guard and make Skyline Corporation rise sharply!"
Looking at the screenshots, Mr. Lee's face darkened a lot. Finally, he looked coldly at Heather. "What else do you want to say now?"
"You... believe it?" Heather looked very surprised. She wanted to laugh.
"The proof is here. Why can't I believe it?" Mr. Lee's face was even colder. "Heather Denmark, I don't care what connections you have. As long as there's something wrong with you, I won't be indulgent towards your behavior!"
