Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 974

Jane thought this project would silence the board members who had criticized her since the Starlite Enterprise debacle and restore her standing with Pedro.

Buoyed by euphoria, she stood up, her smile radiant as she addressed the crowd. "We at the Wilkie Group are honored to be selected. As always, we are committed to quality and integrity, and we promise to deliver this project with the utmost efficiency and excellence—"

A chilling voice cut her off. "Ms. Wilkie, bribing staff to sabotage a competitor's bid in order to secure a win—do you really think your company deserves to claim integrity?"

All heads turned to see Damon stride into the room, his face unreadable, his sharp gaze fixed on Jane.

His stare's intensity made her skin crawl, and she felt her face go pale.

Gritting her teeth, she retorted, "Mr. Sumner, your bid was disqualified due to an unsealed envelope. Now that the Wilkie Group has won, you're jealous and trying to smear my name? That's a bit much, don't you think?"

Damon smiled, his expression cold. "I've secured a copy of the venue's surveillance footage. Whether this is smearing or not will be clear once we play it for everyone to see."

Jane's face twitched as panic flared in her chest.

It was impossible. She had specifically chosen a blind spot in the cameras—there couldn't be any footage.

Forcing herself to remain calm, she said, "Mr. Sumner, falsely accusing someone is a crime. If you apologize to me now, I'll let this slide. Otherwise, when you fail to produce evidence, I'll involve the police to clear my name."

Damon didn't flinch. "No need. I've already called the police. Once they arrive, I'll hand over the footage to them."
