No Escape from Love novel Chapter 166

"We've already contacted Silverline Group. This is your last chance," Oliver said sternly. "If you refuse to admit it, we'll ask Silverline Group to identify the culprit."

At those words, I saw a flicker of panic on Samson's face, but he quickly composed himself.

After just being deceived once, he wasn't going to fall for it again. After all, if Silverline Group admitted to colluding with him, they would also be held accountable for corporate espionage.

Even I found it hard to believe. I didn't think any company would openly admit to being thieves, but at the same time, I had complete faith in Alex's ability.

And sure enough, the next moment, Alex pulled out his phone and initiated a video call.

The call connected, and on the screen appeared the president of Silverline Group. "Yes, the project proposal was indeed obtained through our collusion with Samson."

Samson's face turned ashen.

"I knew Samson needed money, and I really wanted to secure this project. So, I gave him 50 thousand dollars to buy Hastings Group's proposal. But in the end, Hastings Group still won."

Samson was speechless as he collapsed onto the floor in defeat.

"Mr. Hastings, you promised to help us get through this crisis. Please don't go back on your word," the president from Silverline Group pleaded.

Alex ended the call without hesitation.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Oliver looked at Samson.

"I refuse to accept this!" Samson suddenly twisted his face in anger and lunged toward me.

I flinched and was about to dodge when a strong hand suddenly pulled me behind.

"I…" Samson faltered.

I stepped forward, unyielding. "Don't forget that the only reason Plan B was used at all was because you leaked Plan A. Before that, no one expected you to betray the company."

Samson's gaze darted away anxiously. His confidence had crumbled long ago, leaving only his stubborn words.

Alex kept me behind him and said coldly, "A multi-million-dollar collaboration isn't something the company would use as a training exercise for anyone. The reason Serena was entrusted with it is because she has the skill and the ability."

The facts were undeniable, and with Alex himself speaking, no one dared to challenge him.

"Samson, you graduated from St. Gabriel University—one of the top universities in the country," Oliver said as he stepped forward. "For this project, Patricia was personally chosen by Serena. You, on the other hand, were my selection.

"I saw your credentials and admired your talent, which was why I wanted to give you an opportunity."
