Chapter 688
“You’re brilliant! I didn’t dare to consider this before,” Denise said, though she was still nervous. “But what if they find out something? I’m worried about the details. What exactly should we say?”
“Don’t worry about the details,” Judie assured her. “Hand over your phone for now. I’ll take care of it.” With that, she slipped Denise’s phone into her pocket and went to wake Roderick up.
Winter’s dawn arrived late, and at about six o’clock in the morning, the world outside was still shrouded in darkness.
Eileen, who usually slept in, was jolted awake by Raymond’s repeated calls. An urgent situation had arisen at the EB Group.
Eileen had to scramble out of bed and rush to the office.
She had previously considered the incident with the Ferguson Group yesterday an accident, but today’s incident revealed a more sinister reality: someone was deliberately targeting her.
The enemy had meticulously planned their attack. During Eileen’s absence from the company, someone had stolen the core technology of the EB Group.
With just seven days left before the EB Group’s new product launch, any leak of this technology before the launch could deal a crippling blow to the company.
The meeting room buzzed with tension as all the senior executives gathered, their expressions grave.
Dressed in a black business suit, Eileen exuded professionalism as she entered. Facing the senior executives, she was the first to speak.
“I want to start by apologizing,” Eileen began, her tone earnest. “Due to some personal issues, I haven’t managed our affairs as well as I should have, and that has unfortunately reflected on our company. I’ll be explaining the situation to our shareholders, so you can rest easy on that front. For now, our focus must be on damage control and bracing for the challenges ahead.”

Taking full responsibility for the recent turmoil, Eileen gave a much-needed sense of relief to the executives, who had expected to be reprimanded.
They then began to propose solutions actively.
After three hours of intensive discussion, they formulated a preliminary plan.
After the meeting, Eileen proceeded directly to the general shareholders’ meeting. There, she faced harsh criticism. Some shareholders even questioned her capability based on her gender, suggesting that her personal distractions had led to this mess.
“Have we identified the traitor within the company?”
“Everyone involved in the project must be held accountable!”
“Once we’ve settled this matter, I suggest we replace all staff involved in this project.”
This suggestion implied the complete dismissal of all technical and planning staff connected to the project.
Eileen shot back immediately, “We can’t just switch people out. This project is the result of everyone’s hard work, and the one who betrayed us is to blame. Replacing everyone involved would only affect the employees’ morale.”
Her words only served to draw further criticism from the shareholders.
Amid a barrage of accusations, threats were also made.
