59 Slap in the Face

Upon hearing that statement, the room fell abruptly into silence.

Everyone turned their eyes from Samuel to Isla, completely dumbfounded.

Jake also looked at Isla in confusion. "What's going on?"

Isla bit her lip and directly addressed Samuel, "The solution proposed by Dr. South for the Olsen's was sent to us separately. It has nothing to do with your company. You're just his assistant and have no knowledge about this."

Jake let out a breath of relief.

Isla continued. "Mr. Morgan, is it about time to put an end to this? If that's what you're implying, there's need to be so roundabout..."

She looked at Jake, "Jake, Horton Group is not at a loss. Can I let go of this matter?"

As expected, Jake was infuriated. "Mr. Morgan! This is an internal issue of Horton Group. It's not your place as an outsider to instruct us!"

He had been respectful to Samuel because of Samuel's role as Dr. South's assistant.
