Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Everyone in the room had gathered around Isidora, showing their support for her.

In reality, Isidora had only been working at the Martin Group for a week since the incident occurred. Did they really know her well enough to take sides so quickly? With so many people siding with Isidora, it seemed Chloe won't be able to make her case, no matter what she says.

Seeing everyone vouching for her, Isidora exchanged a glance with Giselle and a smug smile appeared on her lips.

Liam had come prepared. With his hands behind his back, he scanned the members of the Martin Group's board one by one. His youthful gaze made everyone uneasy.

Liam began to speak. "So, you're all questioning my grandfather's judgment, huh?" Liam brought up his grandfather.

Louis was the founder of the Martin Group and held an irreplaceable position within the company. Even in the business world, he was a towering figure.

Who in the room would dare to question Louis?

Giselle quickly spoke up, "Liam, what's going on? Why bring your grandfather into this?"

Liam remained calm and explained slowly. "You all trust Isidora She works hard and has never made a mistake. She wouldn't lose that letter of intent or falsely accuse Chloe." "And Chloe? She's not trustworthy. Not only did she steal the letter of intent, but she also spoke rudely and offended everyone here. Isn't that right?"

Liam's words hit the mark. That was exactly what everyone was thinking.

Liam then snatched the folder from Isidora's hands and threw it to the ground.

"Have you all forgotten? The marriage between the Davis Family and the Martin Family was arranged by my grandfather himself. Chloe, the future lady of the Martin Family, was someone my grandfather watched grow up."

"By accusing her of stealing the letter of intent, you're essentially saying my grandfather has poor judgment in choosing a granddaughter-in-law."

"Based on your subjective assumptions, without any evidence, you're falsely accusing the future mistress of the Martin Family? Do you think the Martin Family is a pushover?"

"I've even heard someone say that Chloe stole the letter of intent to help the Davis Family develop their own business. What are you all thinking? With your pig-headed brains, do you really think you can compete with the think tank the Davis Group has brought in? Do you really think they need your letter of intent? You're just bragging and ridiculously overestimating your abilities.."

Liam's outburst was logical and well-founded. The board members, no matter how bold, couldn't bear the responsibility of questioning Louis's judgment.

Being experienced individuals, none of them wanted to stick their necks out. The board members stepped aside and remained silent.

At a critical moment, Giselle coughed.

In a senior tone, she said, "Liam, I know you want to defend Chloe, but you're still

young and don't understand the complexities of business."

"We won't let a bad person go unpunished, nor will we wrong a good person."

"Everything needs evidence... We can't say Isidora didn't make a mistake, but we also can't say Chloe didn't take the letter of intent, so..."

Giselle's meaning was clear.

She could admit Isidora made a mistake, but the matter of Chloe stealing the letter of intent still needed to be clarified.

Chloe's heart tightened.

Giselle was still asking for evidence. At the time, Chloe had been in Grant's office for half an hour, and besides Isidora coming in and out, no one else was there.

Grant had checked the company's surveillance and found no evidence, relying solely on Isidora's word.

Now Giselle was asking for evidence again. Where was Liam going to get it?

Just as Chloe was getting worried, Liam smiled.

He straightened up, one hand in his pocket, and said with a bit of a rogue attitude, "Alright, if you want evidence, I'll give you evidence. Wait here... No one leaves."

With that, Liam turned and went to the bookshelf behind Grant's desk. He found a taller chair, climbed up, and pulled out a hidden camera from behind a beam.

The camera was cleverly concealed by a spotlight, making it hard for anyone to notice.

When everyone saw Liam pull out a camera from such a hidden spot, they were all stunned.

Isidora was visibly nervous, her eyes darting around.

Giselle, seeing Isidora's nervousness, began to have some doubts.

The board members had varied expressions.

And Grant, standing by Chloe, had a dark look on his face, feeling a murderous impulse.

This was his office, and the thought of a camera hidden in the spotlight corner meant his every move was being watched.

Chloe was also nervous.

Her fists clenched, and her palms were slightly sweaty.

She had been to Grant's office more than once, and they had done some rather indescribable things there.

The camera had clearly recorded everything.

She felt a wave of large-scale embarrassment, standing there awkwardly.

Liam chuckled and awkwardly coughed. "Grant, sorry about that. Last time I was in your office, I just casually placed this wireless camera behind the spotlight."

"I meant to take it down, but you came in, so I left it there."

"Your people said the surveillance was broken and some things couldn't be shown,

right? Well, nothing's missing from this camera."

"Last night, I specifically checked. It's all stored in the cloud, clear as day."

Liam's words made Isidora's eyes dart around even more.

A board member said, "The letter of intent was in Mr. Martin's office. This camera should have a clear view of his desk."

"Copy the footage from the camera. Let's see who really stole the Martin Group's letter of intent."

"We won't let a bad person go unpunished, nor will we wrong a good person... If Miss Davis didn't take the letter, this will clear her name."

"Yes, yes..."

Everyone started talking at once.

Liam chuckled, then took the camera and removed the memory card. He went to Grant's desk and began copying the footage using Grant's laptop.noveldrama

As he inserted the card, he said, "Oh, what a hassle. The cloud storage is slow to decompress, and I need to install a plugin. Everyone, please be patient."
