“Is it resolved?”
“The issue of the venue? Is it settled?”
Samantha opened the car door. She grabbed a towel to wipe off the water droplets
from her hair.
“We need a solution.”
“I didn’t expect the company’s efficiency to be this low.”
Samantha chuckled coldly, ending the call with Kendrick.
Meanwhile in the office, Kendrick was working on solutions to the issue. When he heard the beep on the phone, his l*ps curled subtly into a smile. He found Sophia to be interesting and completely different from Samantha.
“Mr. Ford, we can terminate the contract with Ms. Meadows,” Jude said. His face was
devoid of emotion.
When an employee refused to abide by the rules multiple times, it was only natural
to terminate her from the project.
Kendrick smirked and said, “It’s fine. She’s not only my employee.”
He needed someone who could help him. He also needed a wife who wouldn’t
threaten his position. He admired Sophia’s talents as well as the feeling she gave
him.
He could detect traces of Samantha in her, even though the two of them were very
different.
Samantha sent Helen back to the office. She didn’t stay for long because she headed
to the hospital where the victims were. She was to pay them a visit as well as to
learn what really happened.
Samantha was deeply involved in the architectural design of this exhibition. She
bought some fruits and basic supplies and inquired about their location from the

head nurse. Before she could express her gratitude, she heard a familiar voice.
“Doctor, thank you. I’ll discuss the next steps with my father.”
Samantha was taken aback. Upon turning around, she indeed caught sight of the
flamboyant red hair.
Francis turned around and noticed Samantha, also in a moment of surprise.
“Did something happen to a member of your family?” Samantha cautiously asked.
She couldn’t believe that she had been unaware of the situation within Francis‘
family for so long.
“My mom isn’t feeling well,” Francis replied.
He lowered his head and ran his hand through his hair.
He glanced at the items in Samantha’s hands and continued, “Why are you here at
the hospital?”
There was a minor accident at the company. I came to check on the injured,“
Samantha chuckled helplessly, walking over to Francis.
In a gesture resembling a priest’s blessing in a church, Samantha set down her
belongings. She intertwined her fingers and prayed.
“May your mother’s illness be alleviated.”
It was something she had learned abroad. Often, in the most vulnerable moments, people needed something to believe in. They needed faith.
Samantha opened her eyes, gave Francis a small hug, and then turned to leave.
Francis stood in place, clenching his fists.
He whispered to himself, “What should I do with you?”
Samantha didn’t obtain the answer she wanted when she arrived at the ward. She
was even kicked out of the ward by the patients‘ family members.

Samantha picked up the fruits scattered all around the floor, and left quietly.
This wasn’t her fault. Still, she had participated in the architectural design. So, she felt guilty.
She no longer hid from Kendrick and just headed toward the CEO’s office. Observing
his casual attitude, she was truly disgusted.
There were victims and yet he was so unbothered by it.
“Sophia, here are the answers you wanted.”
Kendrick placed a stack of documents in front of her.
It detailed the accident caused by the construction team cutting corners.
Samantha didn’t say anything more. Pretending as though nothing had happened,
she continued to deal with the matters at hand.
Kendrick had already dispatched the public relations team to handle the situation.
He tried to prevent this incident from becoming public knowledge.
Samantha opened her computer and scrolled through her phone’s photo album. In
the camera album, there were several pictures of the wreckage at the exhibition
venue, along with photos from the injured ward,
“Kendrick, this is your karma.”
Samantha’s voice was so soft that she could barely hear herself.
Then, she clicked the send button. This would create a huge blow for this exhibition.
The news that should have been intercepted long ago erupted within less than two
hours. Major social media platforms were flooded with reports about the exhibition.
A vast online community almost formed a comprehensive net to collect information
about the incident. It made it impossible for the PR department to bury the matter.
“What’s going on?”
Kendrick put down his phone. Its screen was filled with various photos.
“Someone leaked the information.”
Jude’s expression turned cold.
+15 BONUS
“The source of the leak is from within our company.”
Samantha paused her movement, furrowing her brow.
“Within our company?”
“Also, Ms. Meadows‘ involvement in the architectural design has been exposed,”
Jude added.
Samantha’s face fell. She immediately opened her phone and computer to search for
the latest news. Indeed, many people had already doxxed her.
Samantha’s expression turned unpleasant. However, she couldn’t help but smirk
inwardly. She thought that Conrad was truly ruthless.
However, this would ensure that she wasn’t suspected.
“Prioritize clarifying the issues with the construction materials. Then, address the
matter of the injured party,” Kendrick said, twisting the pen in his hand ever so
slightly.
