Samantha really didn’t want to see her now. After this incident, she felt that this
woman was stu pid and lacked emotional intelligence.
Linda approached Samantha with a mocking look.
She sneered, “Hmm, Sophia, it seems like you’ll be kicked out of Ford Corporation
soon. I really didn’t expect that someone who seems to take her job so seriously
could mess things up so badly.
“But then again, I guess doing sneaky things is a part of being an orphan lacking
proper upbringing.”
Linda expected anger from Samantha, but to her surprise, Samantha remained calm
and indifferent. She did not even take Linda seriously.
“Oh? Isn’t this mess your doing?” Samantha didn’t answer. Instead, she countered
with a question.
Linda’s face changed slightly, and Samantha immediately noticed. She couldn’t help
but think that Linda was quite inexperienced.
Samantha continued, “I find it amusing. I just reminded you not to involve a man’s
career in the jealous disputes between women.
“Yet, you went ahead, made it a big deal. Now, look how indifferent he’s become after
this incident. You saw how protective he was of me before, but now, he’s so cold.”
Samantha was calm, but each word hit Linda like a hammer.
Watching Linda’s face go from pale to red, Samantha felt a surge of satisfaction.
“Don’t be so proud of yourself!” Linda was blustering because of her insecurity. She
was trying to make herself look tough.
She added, “How long do you think you can be arrogant? Soon, Kenny will deal with
you. When that happens, let’s see if you can still laugh.
“He’ll kick you out of here, and you’ll fall from grace, never setting foot in high.

society again!”
“It’s too early to tell what Kendrick will do next. Besides, why do you keep
emphasizing that I did it? Do you want everyone to believe that you framed me?
“Don’t forget, there are only a few people who had access to the original design draft.
You, me, the designer, and your spy who got kicked out.
“You better tone it down now, or you’ll only draw more attention to yourself.”
Linda had no comeback for Samantha’s words. Each sentence struck deep into her
heart. She felt uneasy and raised her hand to slap Samantha,
However, before the blow landed, a shove from Samantha nearly made Linda lose.
her balance.
“You… I won’t let this go! Don’t be too pleased just yet!”
With that, Linda left without looking back, trembling.
Watching Linda’s departing figure, Samantha shook her head in resignation.
The level of intelligence displayed was truly nothing to commend. She couldn’t
fathom why Kendrick would keep such a person around him for so many years.
It couldn’t just be because she bore the title of the mentor’s daughter. Otherwise,
Samantha would never be able to understand how Kendrick could tolerate her..
Samantha believed there must be some other reason, a benefit of some sort.
In the luxurious business car, Kendrick reclined in a large leather seat. His chin was slightly raised, and he narrowed his eyes as he listened to Jude’s report.

His almighty demeanor gave him a g od-like presence-a feeling of looking down on all living beings.”
“That’s about it. According to our investigation, there is currently no evidence linking Ms. Meadows to this matter,” Jude reported, closing his file.
He could clearly feel the change in Kendrick’s gaze.

Kendrick remained silent, contemplating the attitudes of the two women in the meeting room earlier.
It seemed that Samantha was indeed confident and defiant because she was innocent in this particular matter.
It was the first time a woman dared to act like this before him.
Was it really so simple?
Kendrick couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to it, and it must be connected to her.
“Have you found out who leaked the original draft?” Kendrick narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Jude across from him.
Jude lowered his head quickly. It had been almost half a day, and he still hadn’t identified the culprit, which frustrated him.
“Mr. Ford… I’m truly sorry, but we haven’t pinpointed the person responsible.
However…”
He glanced tentatively at Kendrick. Jude knew his boss didn’t appreciate excuses or
vague possibilities.
Kendrick didn’t speak, so Jude continued, “However, based on the current situation, the people who could have accessed the original design draft are the original.
designer, the one in charge of safekeeping and then losing it, Sophia, and also… Ms.
Linda.”
Upon hearing Jude mention Linda, Kendrick widened his eyes, unleashing an
intimidating gleam.
“Do you think she might be involved in this matter?” Kendrick asked semi-
inquisitively with strong pressure.
