Chapter 1623

"Why did you accept these items without asking me? Emily's eyes welled up with tears as she asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Mr. James said not to tell you, I thought I was doing a good thing Ms Simmons stammered

"Mr. James? You just believe what they say? These gifts aren't from Charlie, do you know that?" Emily snapped.

"Oh my God!" Ms. Simmons gasped in shock. If they're not from Mr James, then who sent them?"

Emily gathered all the items and gestured for Ms Simmons to help her carry them outside

Just as they reached the door, the doorbell rang Ms Simmons opened the door to find Estelle and Magdalen

"Emily Magdalen greeted her cheerfully But upon seeing Emily's pale face and the items in her hands, her smile faded, "What happened?"

I'm going to throw these things away, I'll tell you later!" Emily said.

Magdalen glanced at the luxury items and held out a hand to stop her, Why throw them away? Are they from Charlie?"

"No" Emily shook her head, took a deep breath, temporarily set down the items, and then let them into the house

When they entered the living room, Ms. Simmons fetched bottles of water for Magdalen and Estelle, then she took Kya to the bedroom. Emily gave them a brief overview of the situation.

Magdalen scoffed, This is a premeditated trap. They've taken photos of the gift. It's useless to throw them away now."

Emily frowned, "I know it's useless, but I can't keep them either. It's better to throw them away now!"

Estelle's gaze was sharp as she said calmly, "For now, Horizon Enterprises seems to be the prime suspect."

After all, the transaction records must have come from within Horizon Enterprises.

Magdalen asked, "But if Horizon Enterprises is behind this, what's their motive? They will get kicked out as they frame Emily. It's a lose lose situation!" Estelle thought for a while, "Or were they aiming to undermine the James Group?"

compa

Magdalen shook her head slightly, "No. Usually, only companies of a similar level might do thing like this. But Horizon Enterprises and the James Group.

terms of wealth accumulation or corporate power, aren't on the same level. It's like a pyramid, with the James Group at the top and Horizon Enterprises in the middle. There's no need for them to resort to this self-destructive approach to hit the James Group.”

"That's true!" Emily nodded in agreement, "That's why I've never suspected Horizon Enterprises. I think someone is using me to hit Horizon Enterprises." Magdalen asked, "What did Charlie say?"

"Well" Emily was unsure about Charlie's stance. He appeared to trust her, but he was also evidently angry.

"Charlie wouldn't doubt you!" Estelle said with conviction.

Emily sighed, feeling guilty, "I've caused trouble for him again."

Magdalen comfortingly pat her shoulder, "How could you blame yourself for this? Someone schemed against you, and there's no way you could have foreseen it

Estelle asked, "Which other companies are involved in the bidding?"

Emily told them the name of the remaining four companies.

"Starlight Corporation? Magdalen raised an eyebrow, "Starlight Corporation is part of the Griffith Group, and the person in charge is Waters, who has been pursuing Charlie" "Waters?" Estelle raised an eyebrow, and showed a photo on her phone to Emily. Take a look at this!"

Emily stared at the photo, her eyes widening.

Magdalen and Estelle exchanged a meaningful glances, a hint of coldness in their smiles
