Chapter 560
Ava never expected things to develop like this.
"As the saying goes: If a mother has a bad character, her daughter will also be very unpleasant." Haley smiled faintly. "I can forgive Hollis. Naturally, I can forgive you. After all, you are still young."
With these words, the crowd looked at Ava with disdain.
Ava's mother, Hollis, had attended the celebration banquet of the Vanguard Corporation and falsely accused Haley of plagiarism, but in the end, Hollis turned out to be the one who had plagiarized.
Everyone present had witnessed this incident with their own eyes.
And now, they were witnessing a similar situation once again!
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ava gritted her teeth. I'm not a programmer, so of course I can't explain these things clearly. The technical director of the Lumi Group will report the results. He’ll definitely do just as well as you."
Haley laughed angrily when she saw that Ava was still trying to argue.
Haley smirked coldly and said, "It seems I need to get the police involved to investigate this properly and find out where you got the proposal document on your computer."
Ava was very angry.
She wanted to refute and slander Haley, but after thinking about it, she couldn't figure out how to turn the situation around.
"Quiet." Craig frowned and tapped the table. "It's just a small matter and shouldn't escalate like this."
Haley sat back in her chair and calmly said, "Indeed, it's just a small matter. If Ava apologizes, I can let this go."
Craig gave Ava a look.
Ava was so angry she almost choked, but she knew that if the police got involved, she would likely face legal consequences.
Gritting her teeth, Ava said indignantly, "I'm sorry, Ms. DeRoss. I'm young and ignorant. Please forgive my mistake."
Haley's eyes were cold and indifferent. It seemed as if she really didn't care about this.
Craig spoke slowly, "Ms. DeRoss, you are exceptionally talented, especially in chip design. Since that's the case, we’ll entrust the remaining twenty percent of the module design to you."
Haley smiled again and asked, "Mr. Morris, have you read the contract?"
Craig frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
Was what he was saying now related to the contract?
"The contract clearly states that Star Technical Company and the Lumi Group are each responsible for half of the work. Star Technical Company has already exceeded the task, and the remaining modules have nothing to do with me," Haley said firmly.
"You are wrong," Craig said sternly. "We’re partners, so we should help each other. Since you have the ability to do this, you should contribute."
Haley sneered and said, "I work hard to complete all the tasks, but the Lumi Group takes half of the profit, I will not do anything that harms my company's interests, Mr. Morris."
Ava angrily said, "Haley, how dare you be disrespectful to Mr. Morris!"
Craig was Hollis's friend, and Ava was usually respectful toward him. But Haley had dared to speak to him that tone!
Haley raised an eyebrow and said, "I’m just calmly stating the facts without any personal grudges."
Haley pushed her chair back, stood up lightly, and said, "Mr. Morris, if you cancel the cooperation with the Lumi Group, I can complete the remaining twenty percent of the work. But if the Lumi Group wants a share, I will never complete the rest on their behalf."
