Chapter 43 Selling Out Winthrop Group

Elspeth slowly quipped, “Mr. Bishop, if I’m not mistaken, you must be wondering why these colleagues who you had bribed didn’t refute Mr. Winthrop as you expected, right?”

“What?!” Houston’s expression changed radially. “Miss Lynwood, what do you mean by that?”

She sneered, “I think you know exactly what I meant.”

“Nonsense! You’re making things up!” he shouted in a panic.

“Am I? Why don’t we take a look at this evidence?”

She took the documents and photos out of the folder and slammed them on the table with a resounding snap. The documents scattered, and the images showed that Houston sneaked into the finance department office and the exact amount of money he had embezzled.

“What else do you have to say?”

Houston’s face turned ghastly pale, and the terror under his eyes heightened when he saw the evidence. “No, these are all fake! Why would I hurt the company? Don’t you dare accuse me?!”

Then, he suddenly roared wildly as if he had grabbed a life-saving float, “Yes, you did this so that you could kick me out of the company! You’ll be punished for what you did to me!”

Elspeth ignored his accusations as she raised her eyebrow and decided his fate. “If you have nothing to say, you can go and have a good chat with the police.”

Then, she sat down leisurely and smiled.

Houston had intended to run at the mention of the police but was detained at the door by the police, who arrived just in time. “Just you wait! I won’t let you off the hook!”

He glared at them fiercely, and the anger in his eyes was burning.

After Houston was taken away, Callum said a few words briefly before dismissing everyone and turning his attention to Elspeth. “I don’t think it’s that simple.”

“Why?” Her eyes darted around, and she was full of smiles. She was over the moon after getting rid of the scourge of Houston, and even her tone was gleeful.

“He is not that easily defeated,” Callum slowly said after pondering for a moment.

Elspeth turned serious as she looked thoughtful. “You mean to say?”

“I think he may have other ways to turn the table.”

“What?” She frowned. “Are you saying that he will come back to bug us again? But he has been arrested!”

He carefully recalled the look in Houston’s eyes before he was taken away. “He must have other tricks up his sleeves.”

Sure enough, the news of Houston being cleared of suspicions and released came the next day.

She sat in Callum’s office and frowned in dismay. “He really has other plans.”

“He’s now a high-level executive at Alphascape.”

“Based on his character, he must have made a deal with them based on our information.” Elspeth gritted her teeth indignantly. “Houston Bishop! I should have beaten him up to a pulp!”

Callum pursed his lips tightly with a grave expression. “You don’t have to. It doesn’t matter where he goes. What is important is that he has information about our company. Since he’s now working for the Alphascape Group, he will certainly share this information with them, which is extremely unfavorable to us.”

“Such as…” Elspeth paused, but they both knew what he wanted to say. Alphascape Group would have detailed information about Winthrop Group’s jewelry plan and development plan for the next quarter.

“What did you do to Alphascape the other day?”

Callum’s eyes flashed slightly. “They lost three points of interest.”

“No wonder. They had suffered such a great loss, so they must have waited for the best opportunity to strike. Unfortunately, Houston just so happens to be their powerful weapon.”

Elspeth noted his serious expression as she emphasized, “In that case, they will definitely strike soon. So, we have to be ready when the time comes.”

“Just wait and see. We’ll make plans when they take action.”

She nodded, and complicated expressions flitted across her face.

After the conversation they had in the morning, she saw the news that Alphascape Group was going to launch a new jewelry set on her phone in the afternoon.

She was all too familiar with the design of the jewelry. It was designed to serve as a stepping stone for Winthrop Group’s transformation into high-end products, but now, Alphascape Group stole her design and launched it quickly. But—

An idea popped up in her mind, and her frown eased.

Although the jewelry looked fashionable and chic in style, its huge drawback was that it would be highly uncomfortable for the person who wore it. She had yet to make any adjustments because she was busy dealing with Houston these past few days.

It was a subtle problem, so no one other than the designers would notice this problem. Alphascape Group might have shot itself in the foot by launching the product so hastily.

At the thought of this, Elspeth grabbed the draft paper and began to design. She made some form of adjustment to that plan, as well as the shape and style of the jewelry.

Finally, she went straight to Callum’s office with the draft and told him that she would launch this piece as the modified version.

Callum’s eyes dimmed slightly as he listened to her plan. “Are you sure? What if people suspect you of plagiarism? After all, Alphascape is the first who launched the product.”

Of course, she had thought about it. “Yes, when it is launched, some people may suspect the product’s authenticity, but don’t worry about it. Since I’ve planned this, I have prepared a flawless countermeasure. I have indisputable evidence to prove that we are the rightful owner of the original draft.”

Callum didn’t say anything in response, so Elspeth smiled and reassured him, “You must not underestimate my ability. Don’t forget that I was the one who drew the design. Relax.”

“It’s not you that I’m worried about. I believe in you, but I’m just worried that this is part of their dirty tricks, and you won’t be able to handle it then.” He looked at her smile with a hint of worry in his eyes. “I’ll assign some bodyguards to be with you in the next few days in case you are harmed.”

How can she be so cheeky at a moment like this?

She was surprised by his decision. Thus, she chuckled and asked, “Why do you care so much about my safety?”

An awkward look appeared on his face. “It’s not what you think. I’m worried that something will happen to you and affect the company’s revenue.”

Elspeth pestered him. “I don’t care. You’re saying that I’m important to you, right?”

When he heard her non-stop teasing, Callum was somewhat flustered. “Go back to work.”

“You’re so boring.” She pouted.

Only after Elspeth left did he calm down. Recently, his emotions had become easily influenced by her, and he didn’t know whether it was a good or bad thing. This feeling of being out of control was really annoying.
