Chapter 1183 Find the Culprit

After addressing Timothy, Tessa sat back down on the couch. As a rather experienced

person, Timothy knew at once that his sister was worried about the company. Left with no

other option, he had to get the issue sorted.

“It’s very normal for projects to be intercepted during competition. What’s there to panic

about?” he lectured the manager with displeasure, rendering the latter aggrieved and

stupefied. “But…”

“No buts,” Timothy announced at once, interjecting him. “It’s obvious our competition was

handed the project because your proposal isn’t appealing to them. What you should do

now is reflect on your defeat and not come to me about it.”

Once again, Sabrina saw through her boss’ intention, and she glanced covertly at Tessa

before chiming in, “The market is very competitive, and the changes are drastic lately. If

what we offer isn’t appealing enough, no doubt no one would be willing to collaborate with

us. Why don’t you investigate the offer our competition offered them instead?”

With that, she shot the manager a hinting gaze, which he got at once when he was still

reeling in bewilderment moments ago. “You’re right. I’ll get them to investigate at once

and also do market research while they’re at it.”

Just like that, the manager left in two shakes. However, Tessa still thought something

didn’t add up as she watched the manager’s retreating figure.

“Tim, are you hiding something from me?” she probed.

“Of course not.” Timothy denied it at once. “You’re imagining things, Tess.”

“Really? But I heard him say the project was also intercepted.” Tessa suspected their

claims.

To that, Timothy made up some excuse. “You don’t win every project you propose. The

winner will naturally be someone else when what we offer isn’t as appealing. As for just

now, that was just a Freudian slip.”

With that, he shot a hinting gaze at Sabrina, who understood at once. “Yeah, Tessa. The

market is shifting drastically lately, making competition between companies fierce.”

“Really?” Though Tessa didn’t know the ways of business, the way the two put it made her

less skeptical.

“It is. Don’t worry about it, Tess.” Timothy nodded, then checked his wristwatch before

urging, “It’s getting late. You should head home now, or my brother-in-law will come

demanding the hostage.”

“Do I hear someone asking for a beating? To think you dare to ridicule your sister.” Tessa

glared at Timothy with feigned anger but still left.

After seeing his sister away, Timothy turned grim at once because it wasn’t the first time

Reinhart Group’s projects had been intercepted lately.

It wasn’t anything alarming if one or two had been intercepted, but the projects he had

targeted were stolen one after another. It was apparent that someone was deliberately

targeting him.

On the other hand, Sabrina was still in Timothy’s office when he returned, and she

immediately approached him concerningly when she saw him. “Has Tessa gone back?”

To that, Timothy nodded with tightly furrowed brows.

Evidently, he was pondering about the interception.

Who would still dare risk offending Sawyer Group to cause me trouble? And I swear I

haven’t offended anyone either lately.

Sabrina immediately knew her boss was worried about the projects as she gazed at the

man, who was laden with anxiety. “Mr. Reinhart, I don’t think the recent interceptions are

coincidental. Someone’s targeting us.”

“You and I are on the same page,” expressed Timothy, thinking out loud. “But I can’t figure

out who would do this.”

Sabrina, on the other hand, pondered with furrowed brows but still couldn’t figure out a

clue either. “We haven’t offended any companies lately, and even if we competed for the

project, we’ve done it fair and square. We shouldn’t have any enemies.”

In the end, Timothy gave up thinking when he really couldn’t come to a definitive

conclusion. “Sabrina, I want you to dig into it. By hook or by crook, I need to know who’s

pulling the strings in the shadows.”

“Got it.” Sabrina nodded in acknowledgment, then went to investigate at once, knowing

how severe the issue was.
