When His Eyes Opened by Simple Silence Chapter 644
“Isn’t that Elliot Foster, the boss of Sterling Group? Why is he here? Mr. Locklyn, you said that Mr. Mike is back, but where is he? Why did you lie to us?” Someone protested.
Shaun explained with resignation, “you must have all heard about the relationship before our boss and Mr. Foster here. With President Tate’s current condition, she has been hospitalized and Mr. Foster has decided to help.”
“Oh… It’s good that he is helping, but why take our phone? It feels weird.”
“My phone has been taken as well, but Mr. Foster must have his reasons for doing so,” Shaun46 said.
Everyone turned their attention to the man sitting on the president’s seat.
Elliot oozed an intimidating aura with a dark expression on his face. Before him, they all felt an illusion as though they had made a mistake even if they34 hadn’t.
“Some of you must know how the microchip was stolen.” Elliot scanned the crowd with sharp eyes. “I will give you one minute. If no one comes forth within one minute, I will deal with you my way.”
He started the timer as soon as he finished the sentence; at the same time, a few well-built men in black stepped in through the door and eyed the employeescd intently.
Everyone was intimidated and people started protesting softly.
“Who on earth did it?! Stand up already! What kind of man you are if you won’t admit to what youge did?”
“President Tate treated us well, so why would someone betray her?! If you are encountering some difficulties, she would have helped you if you talked to her about it! Why would you do such a horrible thing? It’s illegal!”
“That’s right! We can’t commit crimes! Besides, President Tate is the most generous and kind boss I’ve ever seen and I’ve decided long ago that I would follow her for the rest of my23 life!”
Soon, one minute had passed.
Elliot gave the bodyguards a look and two of the men immediately dragged one of the employees out.
“What are you doing? Let me go! Where are you taking me? I can walk on my own! Let me go!” The employee who was taken shouted in fear.
As his egoless shout echoes through the meeting room, the mental defenses of the others crumbled.
Shaun couldn’t help but said, “Mr. Foster, I know that you are trying to catch the traitor, but
what if you somehow hurt someone that’s innocent?”
“None of you is innocent,” Eliot deadpanned sternly, “including you. Something this important had been stolen and none of you realized it. Do you take Avery or me for a fool?”
Shaun bowed his head guilty. “I’m sorry. I will support whatever you do from now on, as long as we can catch the traitor!”
As soon as Shaun uttered the last word, a piercing wail was heard from the outside. Though none of them could see what had happened, but they could imagine that the person who had been taken outside was facing heelish torture.
The crowd paled and trembled.
“Until we find the traitor, each one of you will have a taste of that. If the traitor won’t talk, then you will all die here tonight!” Elliot added.
The others broke down at his words.
“Damn it! It’s not me! It really isn’t me! I have been with President Tate since the beginning and I am attached to this company! I would never do anything to betray this company! It has to be someone from the technical department!” One of the pioneers of the development department said.
Someone else from the technical department argued, “don’t make false accusations! What proof do you have that says the technical department did it?”
“That microchip was stolen from your department!”
“Stop joking around! You guys from the development department can get into our office anytime you want! Who knows if you are the ones who stole it?!”
“You are the one who should stop joking around! We have been so busy lately that we couldn’t possibly have time to steal something from you people! The traitor must be from the technical department! You guys should be interrogated first! I’m sure we will find the traitor faster that way!”
“Since you are saying that the traitor is not from the development department, they you guys should be interrogated first! You can prove your innocence by that!” The two departments erupted into an intense argument.
