Chapter 326

Helen’s chest was heaving. Her mind raced as she tried to think of another plan.

Danny twisted open the lid of his water bottle and said, “None of us were born yesterday. My boss trusts me, but I must explain things clearly so my boss or people like you from Lawson Global don’t misunderstand my character. I’m afraid I might lose my position.”

Danny wasn’t wrong. Anyone who worked in a corporate setting would be wary of looking bad in front of their boss.

“Didn’t Helen say that she knew the founder of Vitality Biotech? Didn’t she know that Ms. Lawson is the founder?”

“She clearly didn’t know! Even the collaboration with Vitality Biotech was decided with simply one sentence from Ms. Lawson, but Helen actually tried to say that Ms. Lawson was taking credit for her work. What a joke… The entire thing was Ms. Lawson’s, to begin with!”

Helen’s heart was beating rapidly. If she couldn’t think of a way to settle this, things would be hard for her from now on.

“Someone asked me if I was familiar with the founder of Vitality Biotech. Indeed, I didn’t know who they were, nor was I familiar with them! I shouldn’t have been so blind and offended Ms. Lawson, the founder of Vitality Biotech. I apologize for that. I’m sorry!”

Helen was still trying to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes.

“Mr. Reilly, are you humiliating me just to ingratiate yourself with Ms. Lawson?”

“What a joke!” Danny scoffed.

“Are you trying to portray yourself as the victim to distract everyone? Then tell me, when did you contact Vitality Biotech, and when did we ask you to send your proposal to us? When did we promise you that one except you could sign this exclusive collaboration agreement?”

Helen turned pale.

She grabbed her assistant and her eyes turned red as she said, “Alright, it’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have interfered in the contract between Vitality Biotech and Lawson Global! After all, Ms Lawson is the founder of Vitality Biotech. If she wanted to, both companies would be able to collaborate for sure, and I wouldn’t have needed to waste my efforts. I’ll leave!”

“Wait!”

Danny stood up, his expression turning cold.

“You were pretending to be the victim, and now you’re pretending to be hurt so you can leave. What kind of impression are you trying to give? Have you been in contact with Vitality Biotech for a long time? Have you been assisting in the collaboration between Vitality Biotech and Lawson Global?

“You contacted Vitality Biotech under Lawson Global’s name yesterday afternoon. Before that, we knew our founder, Mr. Lawson Senior’s granddaughter, had joined Lawson Global as the executive vice president.

“We had also received instructions from Ms. Lawson, the head of Vitality. She told us that we shouldn’t allow third parties to gain the benefits, so she wanted us to sign an exclusive collaborative agreement with Lawson Global!

“So, when you said Ms. Lawson sent you to contact Vitality, we believed you. That was why we accepted it when you said you wanted to send us a proposal for collaboration!”

Danny spoke in a logical, measured tone.

“If you insist on your version of the story, Ms. Helen, I can request that Vitality

provide the recording of our call and our contact history. I’d like to give you a friendly reminder that all those records include timestamps!”
