Chapter 555 Prove You Have Nothing to Do With It
Sophia smiled faintly, "Mr. Stark, do I look like I'm joking? You have said that we have been partners for
years and things have never gone wrong before. Why did something go wrong this time? I can assure
you that we didn't send you shoddy goods, so I don't know where the problem is."
Mr. Stark stared at her and she didn't seem to be lying, which meant she didn't cause the problem.
He looked back at Jessica subconsciously.
Jessica hurriedly said, "Mr. Stark, are you suspecting me?"
"Did I say that?"
Mr. Stark had intended to ask her, since she had been in charge of the project. If Sophia didn't cause
the problem, he planned to ask Jessica if she had any idea.
But Jessica's attitude seemed strange. Moreover, Sophia seemed to be implying something.
"Jessica, I trusted you with the project regardless of what you've done before. You can't let me down."
Jessica became anxious, "Mr. Stark, what are you talking about? How could I let you down? Sophia
must have set you a trap!"
Sophia didn't say anything.
Mr. Stark seemed to have guessed something.
"Ms. Lawson didn't say anything ill about you and you were here. How could you accuse her like that?"
It wasn't until then that Jessica knew what Sophia wanted to do.
For so long, she hadn't won Sophia once. But Jessica didn't admit defeat. She always thought that
Sophia only beat her because of her family.
Except for the gap in the family background, she didn't feel inferior to Sophia in any way, so she tried
every way to prove herself better than Sophia.
But today, she fell into Sophia's trap.
Mr. Stark continued, "Jessica, you'd better prove that you have nothing to do with this. Otherwise, not
even I can help you."
Although he had the most shares in the Cannon Group, if Jessica kept making mistakes, he couldn't
shield her from the rest shareholders.
Even if he had to return a favor to that man, he couldn't indulge Jessica's tendency to cross the line
again and again.
He stood up, "Ms. Lawson, I promise I'll give you an explanation."
"I trust you, Mr. Stark, since we are best partners."
Mr. Stark understood what she meant.
"Ms. Lawson, I need to leave now, but I'll give you a reply in three days."
"I'll be waiting."
Mr. Stark nodded and walked out.
At the entrance of the Skylane Group, Mr. Stark looked at Jessica, "Say it. Do you want me to
investigate or do you want to resign to assume responsibility?"
Jessica knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, but she didn't want to leave like this.
Once she was gone, she would be of no use to Drake and he wouldn't help her get Drake anymore.
She couldn't let that happen!
"Mr. Stark, I've made a mistake. Please forgive me this time. I promise I won't do it again!"
Mr. Stark shook his head, "You should remember how many chances I've given you. I wouldn't have
done that if I didn't owe that guy a favor."
"But you have to realize that I can't keep tolerating you. I don't want my company to be ruined by you."
Jessica tried to approach him, "Mr. Stark, I promise this will be the last time."
"No!"
"Mr. Stark..."
"It's settled."
He turned around and got into the car.
As Jessica watched the car drive away, her face turned livid, Mr. Stark had been the biggest obstacle
the whole time. If it weren't for him, she would've been able to get a lot of things settled. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Thinking of this, Jessica suddenly thought of something and called Rashad.
Rashad saw her number, answered the phone and said in anger, "Didn't I tell you not to call me?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Witt. I have no choice, I..."
She told him everything.
"I'm sorry to let you down, Mr. Witt."
This time, not only wasn't Rashad mad, but he said, "It's not your fault."
Jessica was stunned. She had been prepared to be yelled at by him and now she was surprised.
"Sophia is a smart woman. Not even I could be her opponent."
Jessica was upset. Did he mean she was not as smart as Sophia?
After a while, Jessica told him her idea, "What do you think, Mr. Witt?"
"I think it's a good idea. Tell me what you need and I'll get it done."
Jessica had never gotten such support and she was excited, "Okay! I won't let you down!"
Before Sophia could get a reply from Mr. Stark, she got news that he had been kidnapped.
The assistant walked up to her, "Ms. Lawson, what should we do next?"
Sophia wore a smile, "I had thought I could get rid of Jessica after this, I didn't expect she would do this
to Mr. Stark."
The assistant stood there and didn't know what to say.
"She couldn't have done it alone. Someone must have helped her." Although there wasn't evidence to
prove who it was, Sophia was surer it must be Rashad.
It would be a good opportunity to expose him.
"Let's wait. Find where Mr. Stark is being kidnapped but don't do anything yet. Tell me when there's any
news and wait for my orders."
"Yes! I'll get down to it now."
The assistant left.
Sophia squinted. She had underestimated Jessica.
Regardless of everyone's disagreement, she became the acting president.
"I know that all of you are dissatisfied with me being the acting president, but this is Mr. Stark's
decision. He's dealing with an emergency now and asked me to help him manage the company affairs.
I hope to have your support."
"Of course, if any of you doesn't want to, I don't mind firing him or her. You can try to see if I can do it."
Everyone exchanged glances in dissatisfaction.
"Alright now. The first thing I want to do is to deal with the project with the Skylane Group. Although we
have signed a contract, Ms. Lawson gave us shoddy goods, which has shown her disrespect for the
cooperation and our company. We have to fight with the Skylane Group and uphold our rights!"
