The next day, although Stacey’s condition was not very good, the work still had to continue.
Near the end of working hours, Darren dropped a document to Edison, and Stacey could tell that, among several lawyers, Edison was Darren’s most trusted person, and Darren was Hogan’s most trusted person.
The two were not only the boss and the subordinate, but also very good friends in private.
“Edison, how is your investigation about Simon and the Blue Earth Group going?” Darren came back from the outside in a hurry. Upon hearing Darren’s words, Stacey saw Monica
tremble.
Stacey was a little confused. She had heard of Simon, in the Barnes Group, Simon was also an executive in the design department.
Stacey didn’t know why Simon would get involved with their department.
“Mr. Butler, all the investigations of our side are done by me. The information I have is enough to deal with Simon, but if you want to deal with the Blue Earth Group…”
Edison seemed to be in a bit of a bind and he paused at this point, “It would be much easier if there were videos or photos of the deal between Simon and the Blue Earth Group.”
After all, the Blue Earth Group was also a big company that

was able to compete with the Barnes Group. It was not easy to bring them down and it was difficult to achieve their goal just by accusing them of stealing their design drawings.
“Before 5 pm, sort out the information we have now, and I will deal with other things.”
Darren seemed in a hurry, he turned around and walked into his office as soon as he finished speaking.
Stacey was totally confused. When she saw Darren leave, she looked at Edison in surprise, “What’s wrong with Simon? What happened?”
“I can’t believe you don’t know such big news. Do you really take your work to heart?” Before Edison could answer, Molly on the opposite side suddenly said with an arrogant and bad attitude.
Stacey smiled awkwardly and couldn’t say a word, she really didn’t hear anything about Simon and the Blue Earth Group.
Was it wrong to ask?
Stacey was never an aggressive person, but Stacey didn’t understand why Molly somehow showed signs of crossing her line step by step.
“Stacey wasn’t there when Mr. Butler explained this matter, and no one stipulated that she must know. Why did you speak like that?” Monica frowned, directly arguing for Stacey.
Stacey had a good temper and she could face Molly’s cynicism calmly.
But Monica just couldn’t bear to see her friend being bullied.

“Monica, what you said is on point. Ms. White, I think you should explain why you didn’t stick to your post during working hours.”
Hearing this, Stacey’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. Did the thing happen that day?
The only time she wasn’t in the office was the afternoon before. She’d gone to meet Hogan, and then she’d passed
out.
“I think it has nothing to do with you. You have the right to ask the question, and it’s my right to answer it or not.” Even while saying these thorny words, Stacey still had a faint smile on her face.
It was rare to see Stacey refute, so Monica gave her a thumbs up, “Yes, just like a dog bites us and we can’t bite back!”
Molly stood up abruptly, slammed the document on the table, and said angrily, “What do you two mean?”
Monica turned a blind eye to Molly, and sat next to Stacey with her swivel chair, “Let me tell you about this.”
Hearing what Monica said, Stacey nodded meaningfully. She really couldn’t tell that Simon was quite courageous enough to betray Hogan.
“Then what is Mr. Barnes going to do with Simon?”
“Well,” Monica leaned closer to Stacey’s ear, “Simon has been punished badly by Mr. Barnes.”
“First of all, one of his arms was removed by Mr. Barnes’s people, and even Simon’s daughter’s job was ruined. Since he

did such a thing, I’m afraid he won’t be able to work in this industry anymore.”
“Now there is another order from above. This matter is still
under investigation. I think Mr. Barnes is planning to take this opportunity to bring down the Blue Earth Group.”
Stacey’s back suddenly felt chills, the man in the bar last time just didn’t recognize Hogan and then Hogan wanted to dig his eyes out.
As for Simon, he stole Hogan’s things, so Hogan took off his arm, and it was Hogan’s style indeed.
“Mr. Barnes is notoriously cruel, so Stacey, please don’t mess with him.”
Edison, who had been silent all this time, also said. Stacey nodded slightly, but she actually felt so bitter in her heart.
Stacey had already pissed him off, and she also deeply learned how miserable the consequence was.
Edison sorted out the materials, walked to Darren’s office, and knocked on the door. Darren’s office was very special, it was a separate room in the lawyer’s office.
“Mr. Butler, the documents have been sorted out.”
“Well, send them to Mr. Barnes immediately.” Darren nodded slightly and he was very satisfied with the work efficiency of Edison.
“Mr. Butler, I’ll go!” Hearing people mention Mr. Barnes, Molly immediately stood up.

good job, and eighty–nine percent of women would choose to take shortcuts, while one in a percent of women, like Molly, made it into the Barnes Group on their own, but still wanted to climb into Hogan’s bed.
Darren paused, and his eyes fell on Stacey through the large French windows, “Stacey.”
“Yes?” Stacey was busy with work, but when Darren called her name, Stacey was slightly taken aback, “What’s wrong?”
“You send these to Mr. Barnes.”
Although it was through a window and a door, Stacey still heard Darren clearly.
Didn’t Molly offer to send them to Hogan?
“Mr. Butler, I…”
“What? Is there a problem?” Darren looked at Stacey and smiled meaningfully.
Stacey suddenly remembered she and Hogan were seen by Darren in the office last time, and Stacey felt a little
embarrassed for a moment.
Darren knew too much.
Stacey walked to Edison’s side and took the documents, “Then I’ll send it to Mr. Barnes !”
“Okay.” Immediately, Edison looked at Stacey with a bit of contempt in his eyes. Although it was just a simple sentence, Edison still sensed something tricky.
Seeing Stacey walk out of the office, Molly was furious, and

she could tell that Darren’s attitude toward Stacey was very unusual.
Molly walked back to her seat angrily. No wonder Stacey made an exception to join the Barnes Group. It turned out that Stacey’s backer was Darren?
So Stacey was protected by Darren? Molly now firmly believed that Stacey really knew how to seduce men!
Stacey had just walked outside the president’s office when she suddenly heard a burst of curses inside the office.
