Chapter 1567: Chapter 1566 Exposure_1

The next day at work, Vincent Clinton arrived looking like he hadn’t slept well, his complexion had turned quite ghastly.

"Reid Nelson, come to my office," Vincent Clinton said to Reid Nelson with just that sentence.

Reid Nelson was taken aback but still stood up and agreed with a response.

Peter Brown watched Reid Nelson follow Vincent Clinton out and had a thought; he simply started a small program on his computer.

This was a program Peter Brown used to eavesdrop on Christian Greenhill’s computer, which, because Christian Greenhill’s computer was always disconnected from the power and network cable, could pick up the sounds in the office as soon as it was activated.

Soon, the program was up and running, and then the conversation between Vincent Clinton and Reid Nelson began to come through Peter Brown’s headphones.

With such formidable computer knowledge, Peter Brown believed that even starting his own company would be awesome. However, Peter Brown eventually dismissed the idea, reminding himself that he wasn’t here for the money but for the fusion. The harsher the environment, the better for his own integration. It was better to stay and develop here.

"Did you open my safe, Reid Nelson?" As soon as the door closed, Vincent Clinton roared.

This outburst shocked Peter Brown immensely; he hadn’t expected Vincent Clinton to suspect Reid Nelson.

"Mr. Spencer, what safe are you talking about? Why would I open your safe?"

"Reid Nelson, my patience has its limits. If I’m having a hard time, I’ll make sure you do too. You think I don’t know about your shenanigans?"

Their office had soundproofing, so Vincent believed that once the door was shut, no one outside could hear their conversation.

"Mr. Spencer, you can’t just say things like that. What exactly has happened?" Reid Nelson kept a calm demeanor throughout.

"Hmph, you must surely know about what happened with Zhou Yu. There was one time when I was putting the key in my safe, I felt you poking your head around outside. Was it you?"

"What on earth are you talking about?" Reid still seemed not to understand and asked a question.

"Hmph, I, Vincent Clinton, don’t play games. I’ll speak frankly today, yes, I like you. But don’t take me for a fool. I’ve been thinking about this recent incident, and I feel like you’re the one pulling the strings!"

Awesome!

Peter Brown was also stunned by the perception of these leaders; things they might not catch on to initially could become clear once they thought about it again.

"I really don’t know what has happened. You aren’t unaware of the awkward position I’m in at this company; everyone thinks I’m Henry Ford’s person. But who knows that Henry Ford regards me as anything but his person? I think you should be aware of this. How would doing you harm be of any benefit to me?"

After Reid Nelson finished speaking, Vincent Clinton fell silent for a while before asking, "Was it really not you?"

"Tell me, what benefit would I gain from causing trouble?"

"Strange indeed!"

"What did you lose?" Reid Nelson asked.

"I’ll just say it straight, Zhou Yu gave me an account book that contained some evidence against Henry Ford. With that in hand, Henry Ford was guaranteed to fall from power. I had discussed it with Christian Greenhill, that I would give the account book to him, but the next day when I went to get it, I found everything in the safe except the account book was gone."

When Peter heard this, he just gave a rueful smile in his heart, knowing that he had still exposed himself. With that said, how could Reid Nelson not suspect him?

"Oh, something like that happened? Could it be that Christian Greenhill found out where you kept the safe key, wanted to see what evidence you had, opened it and then took it?"

"It’s possible that he found out about my key, but since I was going to give it to him anyway, why would he take it himself?"

Having heard this, Peter briefly pondered before he quickly started typing on the computer, then he transferred all the content he had taken on his cell phone to Reid Nelson’s computer. After completing this, Peter let out a sigh of relief.

At this time, Peter was also guessing about the account book. He had seen it; a lot of the key content could be transferred. Since Henry Ford knew that Zhou Yu was the one who betrayed him and had reached an agreement with her, he must have been aware of the content. Knowing that, why would he allow those leverage points to continue to exist?

Peter speculated that Henry Ford must have covered up those leverage points by some means, especially since he knew the account book hadn’t been returned. So even if the contents were exposed, it wouldn’t have a big impact on Henry Ford.

In this matter, Peter didn’t want to talk about moral principles. After all, if Henry Ford went down, he’d be in trouble too. Right now, the main task was to protect Henry Ford.

At this time in the office, Vincent Clinton discussed some matters with Reid Nelson, and Peter didn’t hear Reid Nelson mention that she knew about the key.

Thinking about it carefully, Peter understood. Reid Nelson had first claimed that she didn’t know about the key; if she did mention it, it would surely arouse more suspicion from Vincent Clinton, so she simply chose not to bring it up.

"Mr. Spencer, no offense, but I’ve heard quite a few rumors too. If you keep going like this, you’re definitely going to run into trouble. You should try to fight back," Reid Nelson said to Vincent Clinton.

"Easy for you to say, but how do I fight back?"

"Mr. Spencer, I’ve always thought that you’re the most capable in the company and should be the one to take on the role of General Manager. So seeing the situation you’re in now, I really feel it’s not fair to you. You want to use Christian Greenhill to push Edward Ford out, but have you thought about it, even if you succeed, how much benefit will you actually get?"

"You might not know about the relationship between Ivy Cooper and Theodore Smith. Ivy mentioned to me that if this works out, once Christian Greenhill takes the position, she’ll ask Theodore to help me move to a new company and take a General Manager position there. I’ve discussed it with Christian already, with the plan to bring you along."

Peter glanced at Ivy Cooper, who was sitting quietly in the office reading. She had come to work today, seeming to have recovered some of her usual complexion. He wondered how she had managed to deal with Theodore once they were back in the provincial city.

At this moment, Peter’s earpiece carried Reid Nelson’s voice, as he heard her say, "You know, Mr. Spencer, you’re really too naive. How can you trust what Ivy says? Now that the rumors have spread, will Theodore still trust her the same way? Even if it’s just a fling, he won’t consider her a trusted follower anymore. So, your collaboration with Christian Greenhill is doomed to fail. Without Theodore’s support, Christian is nothing. Are you still planning to follow him?"

"Reid Nelson, can you help me think of something, what should I do?" Vincent Clinton began to ask for advice.

"I don’t believe you don’t have some dirt on Christian Greenhill. What you need to do now is to lean towards Henry Ford!"

"What?" Vincent Clinton looked at Reid Nelson in surprise.

"Exactly, no matter where that account book is, act as if it’s still in your hands. Use that to force Henry Ford to join forces with you to first take down Christian Greenhill; even taint Ivy a bit more to deepen Theodore’s suspicions. Just do that, and you can eliminate the two people from the branch company loyal to Theodore. Then we’ll find a way to bring down Henry Ford as well; it will increase the likelihood of your promotion."

Listening to Reid Nelson sweet-talking Vincent Clinton, Peter’s wariness of her deepened a bit more.
