Chapter 111 Destroy Clara
Meanwhile, Nolan could tell that Charles was in a much better mood.
Classic Charles, always getting a kick out of other people's problems.
When Charles got back to the private room, the three of them had been waiting for a bit.
As soon as he walked in, they quickly asked him to sit down.
Charles had been gone so long, they almost thought he wasn't coming back.
"Charles, are you super busy? If you need to go, it's totally fine," Garry said, trying to be nice.
He was just being polite, but to everyone's surprise, Charles actually stood up. "Mr. Glenn, I do have some stuff at the company that needs my attention. Let's catch up another time."
Garry was caught off guard, and Noah, standing next to him, chimed in, "Alright, Mr. Percy, your business is more important. Take care of that first. Let's swap contact info and meet up another time."
Charles didn't hesitate, gave him his contact info, and even added Sabrina's.
After all, the whole point of this dinner was to network, so it didn't really matter if Charles stayed or left.
Over at the Spencer Villa, Diana was wiped out from a long day and was dozing on the couch.
Robert came over with a stack of papers and dropped them on the table.
The noise made Diana open her eyes, and she saw Robert was about to go through the documents.
She quickly got up. "I'm heading to my room to sleep!"
Robert knew Diana didn't want to deal with work right now and found it funny, so he purposely took out the papers to mess with her.
Seeing Diana about to leave, he finally said, "It's not work, just some news and gossip. It might be useful to you. Sit down, and I'll read it to you."
At the mention of gossip, Diana sat back down. As long as it wasn't boring documents, she was cool with it.
"Clara's team has been using relationship rumors as a marketing strategy. Remember when you trended with Mr. Richardson? Clara's copying you, constantly interacting with a boss on live streams."
Diana, eyes closed, tapped the couch rhythmically with one hand. She knew about this matter, but the info was useless.
The thing with Billy had gone viral by accident, and she hadn't planned to get famous that way.
"But that boss seems to have a wife. His wife is pissed and is digging up dirt on Clara."
Hearing this, Diana opened her eyes, thinking why there were so many mistress scandals lately.
However, this was actually useful. Diana cleared her throat. "This is good stuff. Set it aside; I'll check it out later."
Robert separated a few papers and set them aside, continuing, "Their luxury food plan is still moving forward, but they've decided to crowdsource ideas online and let people supervise them. It's going well so far, and they seem to want to pivot to infant supplies, making baby food."
Diana didn't open her eyes, just pointed with her hand.
Robert got the message; this was useful too.
Everyone knew that baby supplies were super profitable. Clara's approach fixed some previous issues.
If they weren't competitors, Diana would have praised the idea.
But now, she had to mess up Clara's plan ASAP.
"Clara hasn't been back to the Percy Group for a while. I think Charles has ditched her." Robert finished the last bit of info and set everything down.
The papers seemed like a lot, but there were only three pieces of news in summary.
"Charles ditched her?" Diana was puzzled, but Clara's confident vibe didn't seem like someone who got dumped by the Percy Group.
Robert nodded confidently. "I even went to the Percy Group to check. She hasn't shown up there for almost a month."
"Right, she's so into Charles. How could she not visit him for that long? They haven't even bumped into each other. That's weird." Diana started to think deeply.
All three pieces of news were useful. No wonder Robert wouldn't let her sleep and insisted on sharing them.
Her mind cleared, and her thoughts started racing.
If Clara and that boss Griffin Wilson weren't just for show, and considering she hadn't been to the Percy Group in a while, they might actually be in a relationship.
Initially, Diana didn't care much about Clara being a mistress.
But now, it seemed Clara was setting herself up to be caught.
What Sophie Russell, Griffin's wife, couldn't find, would be a piece of cake for Diana.
Since that was the case, let Clara become even more "famous."
Thinking this, Diana closed her eyes again, a strategic smile forming on her lips.
Three days later, Diana was dozing off in her office when a commotion erupted outside. "Everyone, look! This is the company of that mistress! The person you like is seducing my husband. It's shameless!"
Hearing this, Diana instantly perked up.
However, she didn't rush out but peeked through the door crack.
"Ma'am, this is a company. You can't livestream here. If you expose trade secrets, we have the right to sue you," Coralie said firmly, blocking the camera with her hand.
In the live stream, netizens were frantically discussing.
Netizen 1: [Who is it? Which mistress is she catching?]
Netizen 2: [Don't block the camera! We can't see anything.]
Perhaps hearing the netizens' voices, the next second, there was indeed a picture.
But the background was all blurred, only some vague figures could be seen.
Although the comments were still heated, having a picture was better than nothing.
Sophie, though here to catch a mistress, remained rational.
In front of Coralie, she turned off her phone's camera but secretly activated the pinhole camera on her necklace.
This way, the phone picked up sound, and the pinhole camera provided a picture, albeit a bit blurry, but still visible.
Sophie was determined to ruin Clara today.
She had long suspected Griffin of cheating, but he always claimed it was just a collaboration, using online hype to boost the company's popularity.
But whenever Clara started a livestream, Griffin would show up.
Once or twice was fine, but he spent tens of thousands of dollars every time.
Griffin and Clara were so secretive that nothing could be found. Until two days ago, a mysterious person sent a USB drive. It contained all of Clara and Griffin's chat records.
The content was unbearable, and disgusting to read.
Not only that, but there were also videos of Griffin and Clara in a hotel room.
With solid evidence, Sophie was so furious that she nearly fainted. But she was a smart person. The one who sent the USB suggested making Clara even more "famous."
Sophie immediately understood. If Clara liked live streaming, let everyone see.
The people in the office were still confused.
Clara hadn't arrived at work yet.
But Sophie coming to catch a mistress was quite thrilling.
Diana and Clara were both very attractive, often facing criticism in the workplace. They had to work hard to gain recognition.
Now, such a scandal would undoubtedly deal a significant blow to one of the teams.
Axel was sweating bullets. With their team's project finally making progress, he prayed nothing would go wrong now.
