Chapter 567 The True Mastermind Behind the Scenes The clarification in front of the Wolkin Award venue completely reversed Charlotte’s reputation, especially when Lisa went crazy and physically confronted her, which made many netizens deeply concerned about her. Charlotte didn’t post anything on social media, but the company’s account briefly explained the situation. This move caused Horizon Group’s stock to rise by nearly 50%, and shareholders called her to apologize, sending various gifts generously. Having been in the business world for many years, Charlotte had long been accustomed to such situations and didn’t really mind. When she entered the office, she saw a document placed on the desk. Charlotte opened the document skeptically, and the more she read, the more shocked she became. This seemingly ordinary document actually contained the details of the plagiarism incident, its causes and consequences, related clues, and even corresponding evidence.
Even in a police station, one might not find such detailed information. Charlotte frowned and dialed the internal line to let Mandy into the office. Mandy had been busy learning how to set up a charity foundation with Jack, spending most of her time outside. Charlotte raised the folder in her hand, “Did you give me this document?” Mandy shook her head, “No, I didn’t.” She thought for a moment and then realized, “I remember Milne came into the office just now. Could it be him?” Milne?
Enter title… Charlotte looked at the document in her hand thoughtfully. Although he was usually very capable at work, could he really have access to such confidential information? Or was it that he wasn’t as simple as he appeared? “Please ask him to come in,” Charlotte pondered for a moment and decided to confront him face-to- face to clarify things. Regardless of whether Milne’s true identity was as simple as it appeared now, everything he had done before and the folder in front of Charlotte was enough to prove he was an ally, not an enemy. Soon, Milne pushed open the door and walked in. His gaze fell on the folder in Charlotte’s hand, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. Charlotte didn’t beat around the bush either and asked directly, “Did you put this document here?” Milne nodded decisively, “Yes, it’s me.” “The contents here are very detailed, but some things are too secretive. How did you manage to find this information?” Charlotte looked straight into his eyes, not hiding her curiosity. Milne was equally straightforward, “It was obtained by chance. I thought it might be helpful to you, so I brought it. If it’s causing you trouble, I won’t do it again next time.” Charlotte lowered her gaze to the folder in her hand, and after a moment, she curved her lips into a smile. “You’ve helped me. Why would I feel troubled? This time, I should be the one thanking you.” Milne looked at her quietly for a moment before speaking in a gentle tone, “No need, it’s something I should do.” After he left, Charlotte dialed the finance department’s number. “Add a two million bonus to Milne’s salary this month and
deduct it from my account.” Regardless of whatever motives Milne might have had for joining Horizon Group, as long as he didn’t do anything to jeopardize her, she was willing to believe in him. Putting aside the matter concerning Milne, Charlotte began to study the documents seriously. In fact, Charlotte was already aware of about ninety percent of the contents Milne had provided her. The most crucial part connected to the entire incident was the true mastermind behind the scenes. Whether it was Saxton, Yeates, or even Lisa, an invisible hand constantly pushed them from behind. Milne had successfully uncovered the person behind the scenes. “Sandra Faulkner…”
