Chapter 809
According to the lottery, Johnson Corporation was the last to go on stage
This gave them time and opportunity to double-check their mistakes.
Rachel crossed her legs, clasped her hands, and patiently listened to the people from the other groups.
Noah, who was sitting on the stage, had been silently observing Rachel. When Noah saw Rachel’s calm attitude, a hint of mockery flashed across his eyes.
Rachel was more patient than Noah had imagined.
But so what if Noah could keep her composure? She was destined to be defeated today.
Thinking of this, Noah lowered his eyes to hide the cold hostility in them.
Soon, it was Johnson Corporation’s turn to speak. As the project manager, Haley said, “It’s an honor for us, Johnson Corporation, to be invited to this industry summit…”
Linda stared nervously at Haley, who was speaking on stage, afraid that something would go wrong. However, Linda did not expect that nothing went wrong until the speech ended
Under the enthusiastic applause from the audience, Linda’s heart that was in her throat gradually fell back to its original place.
Rachel, who was sitting beside Linda, had a faint smile on her red lips. Rachel lowered her eyes to look at her phone, and there was a faint mocking look in the depths of her eyes.
Linda, who was closest to Rachel, sensitively sensed Rachel’s change. After deliberating for a moment, Linda carefully asked. in a low voice, “Ms. Grey, is there anything wrong?”
As soon as Linda finished speaking, she heard Noah’s voice. “The plan proposed by Johnson Corporation is impressive, but I have a question to ask the person in charge of Johnson Corporation.”
When Linda heard this, her expression suddenly changed. Linda subconsciously looked at Rachel.
Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly as if everything had been expected.
Rachel did not stand up. Instead, she sat on the chair and looked at Noah, who was sitting on the stage. “Feel free to ask.”
Noah pretended to flip through the proposal in his hand and looked up to meet Rachel’s gaze. “As far as I know, that sea area. is the foundation of the local residents survival Johnson Corporation wants to turn the east of the city into a new city area. by filling the sea and reclaiming land. Does that solve the problem of the local people’s livelihood?”
Rachel said in neither servile nor overbearing manner. ‘Of course. Now that Johnson Corporation has successfully obtained the approval to fill the sea and reclaim the land. Johnson Corporation will actively cooperate with the local relevant departments and give corresponding compensation. We will strive to give everyone a new environment to live and work in peace.
“If that’s the case, I wonder where the rumors about Johnson Corporation came from?” Noah had his signature smile on his face, but his words were filled with an aggressive aura. “We’ve heard that in order to persuade the local residents to sign, Johnson Corporation staff maliciously polluted the marine environment, causing the death of fish seedlings, and even used improper connections to obtain the approval to fill the sea and reclaim the land?”
As soon as Noah finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into a deadly silence.
However, after only a few seconds, the people’s whispers were like boiling water in a pot.
“Malicious pollution of the marine environment is no laughing matter!”
“Really? There’s a legal responsibility for maliciously polluting the marine environment. If the situation is serious, criminal responsibility will be held accountable.”
“Who knows if it’s true or not? As the saying goes, there’s no smoke without fire. This rumor is definitely not groundless.”
“It’s said that Johnson Corporation has been dominating Seaxas for the past few years. They have the backing of political figures and has done all kinds of outrageous businesses over the years!”
Everyone’s discussion filled every corner of the venue. They looked at Rachel with gloating eyes.
Johnson Corporation was a powerful competitor to begin with. Now that something like this had happened, the heavens were really helping them.
Facing everyone’s unreasonable accusations, Linda was the first to be unable to sit still. She meered and said, “When I was young, one dog in the village barked, and the other dogs followed suit. Now that I look at everyone present, there are some similarities.”
Linda was indirectly calling them dogs.
Everyone choked and their faces turned red.
“Evidence is important in everything” Amidst the noisy discussion. Rachel’s voice sounded again. “Mr. Jones, with rigorous personality, you must have obtained strong evidence for saying these words.”

Noah did not say anything. He only picked up the cup beside him and took a sip. His gaze casually swept across Rachel below the stage with a hint of mockery.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman sitting on the right said, “Miss Grey, with your talent and ability, you will definitely be able to lead Johnson Corporation to a new height in the future. However, first of all, you have to learn to be down-to-earth and not take advantage of others, let alone harm others’ interests.”
Rachel did not have much patience on her face. She said coldly. “Where’s the evidence?”
Rachel’s gaze turned cold inch by inch. It was as if there was a knife hidden in the depths of her eyes that could stab into the middle-aged woman’s chest at any moment.
The middle-aged woman’s heart trembled, and her aura immediately weakened.
When Noah saw that the middle-aged woman was shocked by Rachel, a look of disgust flashed across his eyes.
Noah
put down the cup in his hand and said unhurriedly, “Of course we have evidence, but this matter is too important for us to make a decision easily. It has been handed over to the police.”
As soon as Noah finished speaking, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open and a group of people in uniforms walked
1.
When Rachel saw such a coincidental scene, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up into a faint and cold smile.
So everything had been arranged.
Aileen, who was sitting in the first row, subconsciously wanted to get up when she saw the situation.
Her phone suddenly vibrated. Aileen looked down at the message and couldn’t help but frown. She looked up at Rachel. Rachel curled her lips, indicating that Aileen could rest assured.
Aileen tightened her grip on her phone. Her knuckles turned pale as she tried her best to suppress the raging fire in her chest.
When the elite team of Johnson Corporation was taken away, everyone could not help but sigh.
No one expected such a scene to happen at the summit.
However, now that Johnson Corporation had been in trouble, the onlookers could not help but reveal gloating smiles.
At noon, the elite team of Johnson Corporation walked out of the police station. All of them looked withered. They were no longer as high-spirited as before.
“Do you think Ms. Grey will really be sentenced?”
“Didn’t you hear what the people in the police station said just now? Those who maliciously damage the uninhabited marine environment will be sentenced to not more than three years of fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention. Those whose crime is especially serious will be sentenced to not less than three years and not more than seven years of fixed-term imprisonment.”
“Does this mean that Ms. Grey is completely finished?”
“Don’t talk nonsensel” Linda could not take it anymore and scolded coldly, “Others might not know what kind of person Ms. Grey is, but don’t you know in your hearts? I believe that she will never do anything illegal!”
At this moment, a woman in the crowd couldn’t help but sneer. “Ms. Galler, it’s not whether you believe in Ms. Grey’s character or not, but the evidence is conclusive.”
