Chapter 12: How Could There Be No Audience When She Had Acted with Such Fervor?
She hurriedly stood up and ran back into the playroom to grab her bag, and after she had returned to
her seat beside Jacob, she fished out her notebook which was plastered with the pictures of people
that had been cut out from newspapers, magazines and other kinds of reading materials.
She was indeed Sabrina.
Emma flung her notebook on the computer desk and said in an indignant manner, “She really is that
phony woman. How evil she is! She seems to be bullying Mommy again.”
“Easy now and keep your shirt on.” Jacob flashed his glance towards her notebook to confirm that the
woman in the video was indeed the same person as the one in the pictures, and he proceeded to key
in a bunch of codes right after.
Emma was puzzled by his action, “Why did you close the video?”
“Daddy is having a global video conference now.”
“But Mommy is being victimized now, so I’m not interested to watch Daddy. I want to see how Mommy
is doing.”
“Be quiet.” Jacob raised his strained voice as he was also all tensed up like Emma had been at the
sight of his mother being domineered by that wicked woman.
Although both of them were just five years old, their knowledge was much more extensive than all the
other kids at their age, especially Jacob. He had even sworn that he would protect his Mommy no
matter the cost.
The video had popped up again at this moment, and this time audio had been added to the video, so
they could clearly hear the conversation between Shirley and Sabrina, as well as the voices of those
employees whom were chastising Shirley.
Emma was almost on the verge of breaking down into tears as she was panic-stricken by the sound of
lambasting coming from the onlookers, “What should we do? Let’s go find Mommy.”
“Don’t cry yet. I have an idea.”
A beep sounded from the laptop in the next instant, and the notification ‘Successfully entered the other
party’s network’ was displayed on the screen right after.
‘Successfully hacked into the other party’s system’
‘Sending…’
The progress bar started to fill up as it picked up on speed, and it finally showed a 100% completion
status after one minute.
…
The projector screen had blacked out all of a sudden during the Moore Group’s conference, and all the
top executives whom were present in the room started to grow restless from the abrupt interruption.
“What is going on?”
Bryan frowned in response to the sudden blacked out screen and turned to look at Jordan.
Jordan promptly nodded and walked over to the projector at once to find out the root cause of the
glitch.
However, before he had even laid his hands on the projector, the screen had suddenly lit up again, but
it was a video which had shown up this time instead of the previous quarterly report.
What was displayed on the screen was a woman whom was facing the floor-to-ceiling window while
speaking on the phone while another woman had pushed open the office door at that moment.
When the executives had taken in the scene, all of them promptly pointed at one of the women on the
screen and said one after another, “Isn’t that Miss Thomas?”
“Who is the other woman in Mr. Moore’s office?”
“Is she a new recruit?”
Bryan cast his piercing gaze towards the video that was playing on the screen as he stared silently at
the two women in the video with his captivating features remained impassive. His relationship with the
world-renowned Dr. Thomas was the focus of attention for the others, but their body shapes which
looked strikingly similar to each other had piqued his interest instead as that was the sole thing that he Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
was paying close attention to.
If not for the difference in their countenances, they could easily be mistaken as a pair of twins that were
birthed from the same womb.
The surprising turn of events that had happened next had come as a total surprise to the assembly in
the room.
Sabrina could be seen trotting to the tea table and picking up the fruit knife in a swift, and she
decisively slashed her own hand in the next moment and cried out after dropping it, “You... What’re you
doing right now? Put the knife down this instant. No, I don’t want to leave Bryan...”
“What the hell is Miss Thomas doing to herself?
“Why did she cut open her own hand?”
“Who has leaked out this video?”
“Bang!” The loud slamming sound on the table had abruptly broken off the uproar in the room.
Everyone immediately turned to gaze at Bryan he was the one whom had struck the table just now.
He tossed aside the pen in his hand and announced through the mic, “The meeting is now suspended
for ten minutes.”
As soon as he had finished his announcement, he rose to his feet and marched towards the door.
Jordan hurriedly caught up to his steps and pulled the door open for him just before he had reached it.
Meanwhile, a swarm of people was also heading towards the conference room with the famous Dr.
Thomas ahead of the pack.
