Chapter 1301 Framed
Patrick quickly grasped the situation. Did he mean that Muir Group threatened and enticed Seet Group’s people to betray their own company? That is a serious charge. If I don’t handle it correctly, it will harm Muir and Seet Groups’ collaborative relationship. Furthermore, if this occurs, Sheila’s situation in the Seet family will be affected.
“Is there a misunderstanding, Juan? Muir Group will not do such a thing!” Patrick said.
“I’m also concerned that there is some misunderstanding. That’s why I’ve brought the person here.” Juan then turned to Catherine and uttered, “She said that she would confront the person who bribed her. Please identify that person, Catherine.”
Catherine stepped forward and pointed at Patrick’s adopted son, Andrew. “He’s the one who bribed me.”
Andrew was baffled by her accusation and turned to look at Catherine. “It’s absolute nonsense. I don’t even know who you are, and when did I ever bribe you?”
“Mr. Muir, I know you’re not going to admit it. But that’s okay because I have evidence.”
“Evidence? What evidence do you have?” Andrew did not believe there was evidence for something he did not do.
Catherine did not seem to be in a rush. She then confidently said, “I’ve asked someone to take a photo of our meeting secretly. I’ll put out the photos right now for everyone to see.”
At that moment, not only were Muir Group’s board members surprised by her statement, but they also began to discuss it. Even Juan, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was surprised by it.
Holy sh*t, it appears that this little liar and the lady mastermind behind her did everything they could to frame Muir Group. I’m curious to see what kind of photos she can use as evidence.
“You’re lying! I’ve never met you before. How could you have evidence then?” Andrew gritted his teeth.
“The photo will prove my point!” Catherine turned around and looked at the big screen in the conference room after she finished speaking. “How about I show the photo on the big screen and let everyone decide whether I’m framing you or not?”
At that moment, Andrew looked at Catherine, perplexed by the girl’s appearance and unable to comprehend why she was framing him.
Meanwhile, Patrick stared at him with disappointment and questioned him sternly, “Is what she said true?”
“I’m framed, Dad. I’m innocent. I swear I’ve never met her before in my life!” Andrew yelled.
“Does this mean that she does not have evidence?” Patrick asked.
“That’s right. She does not have any evidence. She’s just trying to mess with our minds.” Andrew glared at Catherine and looked like he wanted to skin her alive and swallow her whole.
“All right, miss. Please show us your evidence,” Patrick said.
Catherine was stunned. “I can show you the evidence. However, if I can prove that he did bribe me, I want to know how Muir Group will punish Mr. Muir.”
On the other hand, Juan gazed at Catherine with his double-lidded eyes. It appears that she is concerned about Andrew’s punishment. She and the lady mastermind seemed to have calculated and planned every move in detail just to frame Andrew. Could it be that they harbor personal grudges against him?
Patrick glanced at Andrew, who was taken aback by the situation but remained unyielding, before turning toward Catherine and, eventually, Juan.
“If there’s evidence that proves Andrew did this, Muir Group will definitely provide a proper explanation to Seet Group,” Patrick stated.
As soon as Patrick finished speaking, several board members suggested, “If Andrew is to blame for this situation, it means you’ve failed to raise your son properly. It is up to you and him to take responsibility, and this has nothing to do with Muir Group.”
“That’s right. Andrew should bear the punishment on his own. Muir Group should not be dragged down with him.”
“Yes, but what secret did he steal? In any case, Muir Group wouldn’t even need it in the first place!”
Patrick remained silent for a moment before saying, “If it is proven that Andrew is the mastermind, then I-I will expel him from the company. Everything in Muir Group will be unrelated to him. Other than that, Juan will make the final decision on the other matters.”
When Catherine heard that, she had a triumphant smile on her face. Even though it was only a split second, Juan’s keen eyes managed to capture the moment vividly.
