58 Slander

The conference room grew silent.

Isla was startled; she turned and looked at Jake, whispering, "Jake, it was evident from the last gathering that Samuel and Keira have an unusual relationship. Has he come here to put in a good word for Keira and plead for Horton Group to take it easy on her?"

Jake immediately tightened his jaw and addressed the person outside the door, "Please lead Mr. Morgan to the research room. I'll meet him once we have finished dealing with the current situation."

The person outside replied, "Alright."

Just as Jake was preparing to leave, a deep voice suddenly said, "Let him in."

Everyone turned towards the sound and saw Lewis, who was seated in the inquisitor's seat, had spoken up.

Jake hurriedly interjected, "Uncle, Samuel is Dr. South's assistant. I don't want to make a scene about this situation as we may potentially concern Dr. South. It would be better if we didn't let Samuel in."

Keira raised an eyebrow.
