CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 139: WANT TO SEE HIM ONCE

Sabrina Hayes was taken aback and asked, "Compensation is possible, but Brooke Sinclairs is already arrested by the police, how can it get any worse?"

Josee Sheffield replied, "There’s plenty of room for maneuvering, for example, make her stay in jail a few extra days! Last time, didn’t she manipulate a psychologist to frame Zara? At a time like this, not kicking her while she’s down would be a disservice to ourselves."

Sabrina Hayes had no objections, "Alright, I’ve entrusted this matter to you, handle it however you see fit without consulting me! However, I need to remind you that we haven’t identified the traitor yet; we must hurry, otherwise, the consequences could be unpredictable..."

Josee Sheffield said, "The investigation has yielded clues, it’s very likely to be Lowell."

Sabrina Hayes was taken aback, "Lowell? It’s actually him?"

Lowell, originally named Jay Lowell, is a top student from a famous domestic university who was recently recruited. He once sought guidance from me because he didn’t quite understand the complex system of the research institute.

Back then, my impression of him was that he was a computer novice, competent at normal work but not particularly knowledgeable.

Yet now, Josee Sheffield claims he is a traitor?

Josee Sheffield sneered, "He concealed himself well, but under my investigation, it turns out he had dual majors in university, studied computer science for three years, and is very proficient, only giving it up due to unknown reasons in his graduation year.

Previously, he didn’t mention this in his resume during the recruitment process, likely premeditated."

Sabrina Hayes frowned, "In situations like this, nobody could foresee; it merely indicates that Brooke Sinclairs had deep strategic thoughts and planned in advance... During the initial screening, she had left a card up her sleeve.

Fortunately, now that the culprit has been identified, figure out how to deal with him... keeping him in the research institute is out of the question!"

Josee Sheffield agreed, "Don’t worry, I will definitely ’handle’ him properly."

Daring to plot against the company, he truly has worn out his welcome, and from now on, he shouldn’t expect to find a foothold in any company in Veridia.

Not to mention the industry!

Later that day, after hanging up the phone, Josee Sheffield went on to execute the plan.

Jay Lowell was directly fired that day and blacklisted across Veridia.

Meanwhile, a legal notice made its way to The Hawthorne Group.

The content stated that The Hawthorne Group had stolen ’Miracle’ data, causing significant losses to the company, and now demanded a hundred million as compensation from The Hawthorne Group.

Jordan Hawthorne’s face turned dark upon reading it.

Due to that data, The Hawthorne Group suffered massive losses, yet Sabrina Hayes dared demand compensation?

Consumed by rage, he immediately made a call.

Sabrina Hayes noticed and rarely picked it up.

Jordan Hawthorne lashed out furiously, "Sabrina Hayes, you’ve thrown The Hawthorne Group into chaos and aren’t satisfied, yet dare demand compensation from us? How could you have the nerve over a failed product?"

Sabrina Hayes sneered, "Why wouldn’t I? Even if it’s a failed product, it’s something our research team spent countless hours developing, not to mention it’s still a semi-finished product, with many data points remaining valid, a bit of compensation isn’t warranted?

Jordan Hawthorne, since you violated the taboo, you should bear the responsibility for your mistakes, as the head of The Hawthorne Group, how could you not understand such a straightforward truth?"

Jordan Hawthorne was infuriated.

Sabrina Hayes didn’t want to waste any more time with him and quickly hung up.

Over the next two days, Josee Sheffield’s pressure on The Hawthorne Group was relentless.

The combination of news, legal notices, and police pressure were overwhelming.

However, Jordan Hawthorne was no pushover and swiftly engaged in PR, shifting all responsibility onto the research team.

He solemnly declared: [The Hawthorne Group’s senior management was unaware of the theft, and Brooke Sinclairs, as the person in charge, is already facing justice at the police station. Regarding previous orders, The Hawthorne Group will provide full refunds and appropriate compensation.

Moreover, The Hawthorne Group has closed the pharmaceutical research institute!

Our company has operated for a century with aspirations to build a conscientious business, our reputation and name thrive, and we would never engage in illegal activities.

In the future, we ask consumers to continue their oversight.]

Jordan Hawthorne’s actions were quite decisive.

Dismantling the research institute provided a direct explanation to consumers.

However, some people were unimpressed, believing they made changes only after the situation escalated.

If it hadn’t blown up, the medicines would have continued to be sold, still causing harm.

However, this type of criticism gradually diminished under The Hawthorne Group’s suppression.

Regarding the company’s compensation claim, despite the clear evidence, Jordan Hawthorne was unwilling to pay, resulting in a protracted legal battle.

As for Brooke Sinclairs... with Jordan Hawthorne’s hands free, he finally wanted to try bailing Brooke out.

Unexpectedly, Josee Sheffield uncovered the transaction records between the spy and Brooke Sinclairs, making the evidence of Brooke’s orchestration of the theft even more solid, rendering Jordan’s rescue attempt more difficult.

Josee Sheffield informed Sabrina Hayes of this, finding it highly ironic.

Truly a "white moonlight," committing such shameless acts, yet easily forgiven by him.

If it were herself in Brooke’s place, she’d likely rot in jail.

Sabrina Hayes’s gaze turned chilly, instructing Josee Sheffield, "Jordan Hawthorne’s abilities go beyond this; if he wants to save her, he has numerous methods... For Brooke Sinclairs, he’s capable of anything. If in the future, somehow we can’t withstand it, increase the compensation claim further, no matter what, make Jordan bleed hard."

"Rest assured, I will make sure you won’t suffer any losses."

After saying this, Josee Sheffield switched to another topic, "By the way, The Quinn Family has greatly assisted us this time; how is Elder Quinn doing now?"

Sabrina Hayes replied, "His condition requires several treatments to recover, I’ll continue visiting for the next few days."

Speaking of this, she recalled something, "By the way, at the end of the month, when we go to Aethel, who do you plan to introduce me to? Is it a Pharmaceutical Bureau leader?"

Josee Sheffield answered, "The Deputy Director, why?"

"Oh, nothing, it’s just Elder Quinn wants to introduce the Bureau Director to us because I saved his life, so when we visit at the end of the month, we’ll probably meet with both leaders."

Sabrina Hayes said with a deliberately calm tone.

Josee Sheffield was pleasantly surprised, "Didn’t expect you to gain such from this visit, it’s great news! Securing two leaders, our ’Miracle’ won’t lack sales channels anymore, not to mention, our orders are already exploding."

"Then let’s make a fortune together,"

Sabrina Hayes joked.

Josee Sheffield laughed, "Although the initial investment on you was hefty, the subsequent returns certainly fill the coffers; it’s been worth it!"

In the next few days, Sabrina Hayes was busy with matters of the research institute while also visiting The Quinn Family for heart treatment.

The result of this busyness was getting successfully caught with a cold on the day of departure to Aethel.

"Can this meeting be postponed?"

Her parents worriedly asked seeing her in this state.

Zara also voiced concern with her tender voice, "Mommy, work is important, but so is your health!"

Sabrina Hayes caressed her little girl’s head and said, "Mommy knows, but I really must go; this is crucial for the company’s future development.

Dad and Mom... when discussing with the two directors, technical explanation regarding medications is needed, and Josee Sheffield isn’t quite up to it, so I must attend.

Don’t worry, I’ve taken preventive medicine, it will be fine. It’s just one meeting, I’ll return after it’s over."

Though worried, Charles Hayes and his wife ultimately didn’t hold her back.

They understood their daughter’s efforts and ambitions, naturally supporting her.

When heading to the airport, it was Tessa Hughes who personally drove her, repeatedly urging Josee Sheffield, "Make sure to take good care of Sabrina, don’t let anything happen."

Josee Sheffield assured, "Rest assured, nothing will happen."

The two quickly set off on their journey to Aethel.

On the plane, Sabrina Hayes considered the gift in her bag.

Wondering if Mr. Fitzgerald had the time, and if he could meet?
