Chapter 1573: Chapter 1572 Women Can Pretend_1

When Peter Brown went to work the next day, he didn’t notice anything unusual and just took his books to study the knowledge he needed to learn.

It was around nine o’clock when Reid Nelson walked in from outside with an expression of indescribable emotion, and turned to Peter saying, "Something has happened!"

At that moment, only the two of them were in the office; Ivy Cooper had gone somewhere unknown.

"What happened?"

"There are rumors that last night, Theodore Smith was messing around with a woman and ended up being caught in the act by the woman’s man. But what’s fatal is that when the police arrived, they actually found evidence of them taking drugs."

Peter was stunned when he heard this, his eyes wide open, but in his mind, he was thinking about the conversation he heard yesterday.

How could this be?

Peter couldn’t understand the situation at all.

Reid sat down and said, "Your prediction yesterday was really accurate. After Theodore’s incident, he’s definitely going done. When he falls, Stanley Hill is most likely to take his place. If Stanley takes over, Christian would be safe and sound."

"And her?" Peter gestured towards Ivy’s seat.

Shaking her head, Reid said, "The current development of the situation is unclear; this woman is also a formidable person. It’s just that it’s unknown what she has done now."

While they were talking, Henry Ford walked in with a grave expression and said to Reid, "Notify the middle management and above to have a meeting."

Reid agreed and started making phone calls to notify them.

After Reid left for the meeting, Peter sat in the office, pondering the development of the incident. He was somewhat unclear about what had happened and couldn’t guess in which direction the situation would evolve.

Suddenly, Peter’s cell phone vibrated again. When he picked it up, it was Ivy talking on the phone with a middle-aged man.

"Stanley, congratulations to you this time."

"Ivy, haha, you and Christian did a good job this time. Rest assured."

"Stanley, I’ll come to the capital to talk with you another day."

"Haha, alright, we will have a good talk then."

After they finished the call, Peter shook his head, never expecting this woman to have connected with a man surnamed Stanley so quickly.

Looking at the phone number, Peter found it was Stanley Hill’s number.

Did this woman contact Stanley after hearing what he had said yesterday or had she been in touch with him for a while?

After thinking for a moment and analyzing their conversation, Peter suddenly realized that Theodore’s downfall must have involved Ivy, and it must have been a plot hatched by Ivy and Christian.

This is complicated!

The more he analyzed, the more Peter felt that Ivy was indeed related to Theodore’s downfall.

Peter originally had some good feelings for Ivy and thought the girl was innocent, but now he realized that the things this girl did in secret were indeed deadly.

First, she had relations with Theodore, but when she noticed Theodore was on guard against her, she immediately sided with Stanley. Then, she joined forces with Christian to bring Theodore down. In this way, as Stanley’s person, she would naturally receive Stanley’s protection.

To achieve her goals, this woman really stopped at nothing!

I must be careful around this woman!

As Peter was thinking about these things, Ivy walked into the office with a gloomy expression, seemingly hit hard by something.

Pretending!

Peter realized this woman was feigning distress.

She went to sit in her chair and started working on her tasks as if she was preoccupied, refraining from interacting with anyone.

Seeing Ivy acting this way, Peter deliberately said, "Ivy, there has been a big incident. I heard that Mr. Spencer got arrested."

Glancing at Peter, Ivy said, "Ah, you can never tell with the affairs at work. I don’t even want to work here anymore. If it really comes down to it, I might as well resign."

"Ivy, you’re a capable person. Wherever you go, someone would want you," Peter said as if he was genuinely earnest.

Looking up at Peter, Ivy said, "A lot of things are uncertain. There’s still a lot for you to learn. It’s good to study more." After saying that, she didn’t speak anymore but buried her head and looked at a document on her desk. However, it was obvious that her eyes weren’t focused on the document.

"Reid, what was the meeting about?" Immediately after Reid entered, Ivy asked with a worried look.

Reid appeared to be in a very good mood today and said with a smile, "What else could it be about? Mr. Spencer from the head office had an incident, right? The head office demands that all units keep calm about this matter, not spread rumors, not gossip, and do their work properly."

"Oh."

Ivy responded and then fell silent again.

Watching Ivy like this, Peter couldn’t help but sigh. This woman was truly an actress through and through, making it difficult to tell what about her was genuine.

"By the way, Peter, Edward Ford wants you to stop by his office," Reid said.

Peter hesitated, not expecting Henry to ask him over, but he agreed and left.

When he arrived at Henry’s office, he saw many middle managers chatting and boasting; everyone was from the last time at the villa.

"Peter, come with me on an errand later," Henry said with a smile, presumably pleased deep down about Theodore’s downfall.

As the middle managers saw this, they suddenly became much friendlier towards Peter, each of them striking up jovial conversations with him.

As he left with Henry, the middle management had already taken their cars and gone. Henry said, "Peter, ride in my car."

Settling into the car, Henry said with a smile, "Have you gotten used to things recently?"

"Edward, everything is fine. I’ve gotten used to it already."

"That’s good to hear. Did I hear you signed up for a self-study exam?"

"Yes, I signed up for one to see if I can get a diploma."

"Hmm, if you have a diploma, it would be more convenient for me to use you. You must work hard."

After some casual conversation, Henry casually brought up, "Everyone’s been talking about Mr. Spencer’s incident, right?"

Glancing at Joseph Smith, who was focused on driving and knowing that Joseph was one of Henry’s trusted men, Peter said, "Edward, there’s something I’ve been meaning to report to you."

Henry’s expression became serious, "What’s the matter?"

"I’m not sure if I should talk about what I overheard."

Henry laughed, "Joseph is one of us, your uncle and I are close like brothers. I consider you one of us, so go ahead, tell me."

Peter said, "I accidentally overheard a phone conversation and I’m not sure if the content would be of use to you."
