Keira stepped out of the elevator, heading toward Group One.

She only took two steps when Arian’s voice round out from behind her. “Miss Olsen, I don’t know what your relationship with Mr. Horton is, but you should have noticed that his reputation in the company isn’t good. He may not be our boss in the end. So, I advise you not to offend Vice President Horton.”

He was a confidant of Jake, and through several meetings, it was clear to him that Jake had feelings for Keira.

He spoke in a low voice, “If you join Vice President Horton, your life will be easier than now. At least he has a way to help you solve the problem you’re about to face.”

Keira gave him an indifferent glance and went straight into Group One without saying a word.

It was Monday. After a delightful weekend, people often barely made it on time for work.

But today, everyone from Group One is already here, sitting in the rest area and looking worriedly at Jalen and Luca.

Jalen had a stern look on his face.

As soon as Keira entered, everyone stood up abruptly, obviously wanting to speak but holding back.

Luca quickly approached her, “Keira, about the university…”

Before he could finish, the director of the R&D department and Jake appeared at the door, “Jalen Riley, Keira Olsen, come on. The Administrative Department is waiting for us.”

Jalen frowned and stood up. He looked at Keira. “Let’s go.”

The group walked toward the elevator together.

On the way, Jake suddenly spoke, “I thought you would call me in the last two days.”

He was confident and didn’t try to keep his voice down.

Keira narrowed her eyes but didn’t say anything.

Jake continued. “By the way, in addition to the personnel of the Administrative Department, there will be two guests today. They are the principal of Oceanion University and the dean of the Energy College. The dean has heard about your theft of Dr. South’s plan and wants to expel you. You should know about this, right?”

Upon hearing this, Jalen sneered, “Jake Horton, I remember you all graduated from that university, right? Why do you have to go to the teacher for everything? Still not weaned?”

Jake chuckled coldly, “I am also from Oceanion University. Of course, I can’t sit back and watch the reputation of Oceanion University be tarnished by such a person! The principal and dean are here today to confirm that if the situation is true, they won’t be lenient! Keira, aren’t you willing to admit your mistake even now?”

Keira replied slowly, “I didn’t do anything wrong. What should I admit?”

“You…!! You are hopeless!”

The group soon arrived at the Administrative Department.

Jake and the director of the R&D department entered the conference room first. As Keira was about to follow, Jalen suddenly patted her on the shoulder. “I’m your boss. If you make any mistakes, it’s my responsibility. Even if Jake brings Dr. South here to confront you, I’ll defend you!”

Leaving these words behind, Jalen walked into the room with a look of heading to the execution ground.

Keira thought, “There’s really no need for that.”

She twitched the corner of her mouth and followed inside, only to find that the conference room was large and already occupied by more than a dozen people.

The members of the Administrative Department all had solemn expressions.

The principal and the dean were invited and sat on either side of the room.

To Keira’s surprise, Lewis was also sitting among the bystanders.

The man was dressed in a suit, with the buttons on his shirt up to the top and matching tie, exuding a sense of rigor and elegance.

Upon hearing the footsteps, he glanced at her. His gaze lingered on Keira for a moment before quickly shifting away as if his presence here had nothing to do with her. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Tom, standing behind him, looked as if he’d just swallowed a lemon. He shot Keira a glare.

However, Keira didn’t mind and only gave them a gentle smile.

Of course, she understood that the busy Lewis was here because he cared about her…

No, it was to spare his grandmother the trouble, so he came to look after her.

She could imagine how this man would explain his actions.

With a slight smile, she entered the room gracefully.

The Administrative Department had to follow procedure.

The head of the Administrative Department spoke first. “Vice President Horton, where is the evidence you mentioned?”

Keira also looked at him curiously.

She had no idea what the evidence that Jake was referring to was…

Jake took out his phone and glanced at it. “Just in time. They’re here.”

With that, there was a knock on the door.

Arian led two people into the room.

These two people were Isla and Poppy!

Keira’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Isla appeared calm as she walked up to Jake, calling out cheerfully, “Hello, Jake.”

Poppy seemed intimidated by the grand occasion and was shrinking back a little.

She looked around and then showed a pleasing smile.

Jake pointed at her and said, “Here’s my evidence! Let me introduce her to you. This is Keira Olsen’s mother.”

Everyone was startled and instinctively looked at Keira.

Jalen nudged her, “Is that truth?”

Keira clenched her jaw, remaining silent.

But Poppy suddenly rushed in front of her. “Keira, our plan to steal the plan has been exposed! I didn’t realize there were cameras in the ward, so we were caught. They now have evidence!”

As she said this, Isla took out a flash drive and plugged it into the computer.

The screen showed the scene in the ward where Mrs. Olsen was. Poppy sneaked in, then secretly opened Isla’s laptop, plugged in a USB drive, and did something…

Isla sighed, “I installed the camera just to record the time the doctor gave my mom medication. I didn’t expect it to record this. Keira, how could you let your mom steal things for you…”

Poppy immediately apologized, “It’s my fault. Keira doesn’t know about this. I saw her working so hard, so I decided to do this. It has nothing to do with her…

“I’m sorry. The child just graduated and wanted to prove herself. I, as a mother, couldn’t bear to see her working so hard.”

She looked around and suddenly knelt on the ground. “I’m begging you, don’t punish Keira. Punish me if you want to, but don’t call the police… Give her another chance!”

The head of the Administrative Department hurried over and held her arm, “Please stand up…”

But Poppy cried, “Unless the company forgives Keira, I won’t stand up…”

Seeing this, the people around them couldn’t help but sigh, “Alas, all loving parents are the same…”

Jake said haughtily, “Keira, with all the evidence present, what else do you have to say?”

Isla was watching the drama from the side.

She knew that the moment Poppy appeared, this imperfect evidence became perfect.

After all, no mother in this world would slander her daughter.

If Keira denied it, people would only despise her even more, thinking that she was letting her mother take the fall.

Horton Group couldn’t tolerate such an employee.

It was a done deal.

All eyes were on Keira.

But she still remained calm, standing with her eyes down. She even took out her phone and checked a WhatsApp message.

They didn’t know that the message Keira received was from Samuel.. “Boss, I’ll be there soon!”
