Chapter 322

Asher instinctively glanced at Evelina and Alaric. Did they really not see this coming?

Lemira smirked. โ€œStop looking their way. If those two clowns had any clue, we wouldnโ€™t have had the spectacle just now.โ€

Did she really think sheโ€™d carelessly leave her laptop behind, open to the very document? She wasnโ€™t born yesterday! But it seems two fools fell for it!

It was only then that Evelina realized she had been duped. Lemira had intentionally left her laptop there for her to find!

By the time Evelina grasped the full extent of the deception, she slumped into her chair, panic-stricken. What now?

The tables turned swiftly. With a mockingly sweet smile, Lemira said, โ€œI believe our competition rules are clear. Any act of dishonest promotion, underhanded tactics, or unfair business practices would result in disqualification.โ€

Thatโ€™s when Asher realized heโ€™d been played by Lemira too. Her act had been so convincing, all to trap him. Now, he was at a loss for words.

Asher came today, full of confidence, determined to outshine Lemira. Evelina had stolen Lemiraโ€™s concept, which indeed was brilliant, and he used it just to be safe. He wanted to teach Lemira a lesson! But being caught breaking the rules meant their company would lose its chance.

Asher refused to lose! He could afford to drop this project, but he couldnโ€™t stand losing to Lemira.

Asher turned to the director, โ€œThereโ€™s more to this story, I can explain.โ€

โ€œMr. Langston, please take your seat. We have more presentations to get through. Weโ€™ll discuss this matter after the event.โ€

Reluctantly, Asher stepped down. Lemira, laptop in hand, brushed past him. โ€œWinners take all, thanks for the demo!โ€ she whispered breezily.

Asher paused, his expression darkening. His gaze fell on Evelina, filled with a terrifying intensity. Evelina shrank back, a cold sweat breaking out over her. She was in deep trouble!

Evelina glared at Lemira on stage, her eyes venomous. Why wouldnโ€™t she just fall into the trap? Why couldnโ€™t she lose just once? Why was Lemira always one step ahead? Why was fate so unfair?

On stage, Lemira unveiled her PowerPoint, filled with ideas far removed from the original plan. Her talk on futuristic AI concepts was groundbreaking and innovative!

Watching Lemiraโ€™s riveting presentation, Asherโ€™s face turned ashen. Clearly, Lemira had anticipated Evelinaโ€™s moves. He had underestimated Lemira this time.

Watching Lemira, dazzling and confident on stage, Asher felt a complex mix of emotions. Lemira had indeed come a long way. From being stubborn to becoming unbreakable!

Evelina, seething with jealousy, and Alaric, regretting his scheme against Lemira, knew their relationship with her would never be the same. All because of Evelina!

Twenty minutes later, Lemira concluded her impressive presentation. The room fell silent, then erupted in applause led by the director, โ€œIncredible, Lemira. Your ideas are fascinating, though some of us might need a bit more explanation later.โ€

โ€œOf course, Iโ€™d be glad to.โ€

Lemira breathed a sigh of relief, having improvised the entire presentation. Maple Groupโ€™s members were astounded by her performance.

The team leader asked, โ€œWhen did you come up with all this?โ€

Lemiraโ€™s presentation had been exceptional! โ€œJust last night, itโ€™s still rough around the edges. I hadnโ€™t expected to actually use it today!โ€

The team leader then addressed the director confidently, โ€œSo, how shall we deal with The Langston Groupโ€™s plagiarism?โ€

Asherโ€™s face darkened as he stared at Lemira.
