Chapter 1407 Revealing One’s True Colors

Kendrick's brow furrowed as he studied the document in his hands. The incident at the medical base was Darcy's handiwork.

The investigation hadn't been challenging. It was clear that Darcy had manipulated a money-hungry man to do her bidding. A small sum of money was all it took to uncover everything he needed to know.

Darcy harbored many secrets about him. If he acted rashly, he might face repercussions.

This issue required a long-term strategy. It was high time to wrest control of some matters from Darcy's hands. If things continued as they were, disaster was inevitable.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Mr. Hofstead, there's a document that requires your signature."

It was Darcy.

Kendrick's eyes slightly darkened as he commanded. "Enter."

This day marked the first step. Colton's situation was precarious, and he couldn't afford any further delays.

"Mr. Hofstead, this document is rather urgent and requires your signature. Also, there's an impromptu meeting scheduled for this afternoon; you need to prepare for it."

Darcy entered, completely unaware that her actions had already been discovered. She felt a sense of accomplishment, considering that she had managed to keep her involvement in this matter completely hidden from everyone.

Kendrick looked at Darcy thoughtfully and responded with a simple "Hmm."

Seeing Kendrick's change in demeanor, she began to feel uneasy. Kendrick's attitude was no longer as friendly as before.

"Mr. Hofstead." Her voice quivered slightly. She wanted to inquire about something, but after starting, she didn't know how to continue with her words.

Darcy gasped at the high demand. She hadn't anticipated that a simple question would prompt the man to demand such a hefty sum. However, if paying him could ensure his silence, it might be worth it. She planned to gather more leverage against him in the future and then let Kendrick handle him. This way, the money he had taken would also be returned, ending up back in the company's accounts, where she could access it.

With her plan in mind, Darcy agreed, saying, "Alright, a hundred grand. Give me your bank account number."

After that, she hung up the phone. Now, she needed to figure out where to obtain a hundred thousand dollars.

Darcy stood outside her office, clutching her phone tightly. She discreetly pinched her own flesh, feeling the sting of pain. Tears welled up in her eyes, giving her a pitiful appearance.

At this point, her only option seemed to be approaching Kendrick and asking for help. She had worked diligently by his side for many years, and he should be willing to assist her to some extent.

Taking a deep breath, Darcy knocked on the door and, upon hearing the response from inside, entered the office. "Mr. Hofstead, I'd like to discuss something with you."
