Julien had been paying attention to the changes in Sydney's expression.
When he saw her disappointed look, for some reason, his heart was unable to bear it.
However, her ability was clear from what she wrote in her proposal. Even if he could not bear it, he could not open the back door for her.
Brandon smiled happily when he learned that he won a cooperation spot.
He knew the level of his proposal. It was impossible for him to get a spot, but he ended up getting it anyway.
This showed that for Lyra's sake, Julien abandoned the principle of not engaging in nepotism and opened the back door for his father-in-law.
At that thought, Brandon's gaze when he looked at Julien grew increasingly smug.
As expected of his son-in-law.
Julien frowned.
Why was Brandon looking at him like that?
He did not dwell on the matter and pursed his lips, saying in a cold voice, "The five partners have been decided. You can go to Flint Corporation this time tomorrow to sign the contract. Now, I'll show you all these five proposals so those that weren't chosen can have a look and see where they fell short."
"That's a good idea." Someone nodded in agreement.
Sydney also agreed with that.
She wanted to know how much worse her proposal was compared to theirs.
However, when she saw the plan that Zach put on the projector, her body froze. "That's impossible!"
She subconsciously shouted out.
Everyone looked toward her.
"What's wrong, President Raines?" the president sitting beside her asked curiously.
Sydney did not answer him and stared at Brandon's proposal on the screen. "President Flint, please tell me how my proposal got named as President Madden's proposal instead."
What?
Julien's brows wrinkled as he turned to look at the screen behind him.
He looked at Brandon's proposal but did not find anything wrong with it, and turned back around." That proposal is President Madden's."
It was the same proposal as the one he read yesterday.
It was Brandon's.
However, Brandon's expression was guilty.
He already noticed that something was wrong when Zach put it on the projector. The proposal under his name was not his proposal at all. Although he was surprised, he did not plan to point it out. After all, if it was wrong, then so be it. At this point, he also realized that he got the seat not because Julien opened the back door for him on Lyra's behalf, but because of this proposal.
Thus, it was even more impossible for him to admit that the proposal was not his. He just did not expect that the proposal belonged to that damned girl instead, and that girl even announced it!
"You're lying, Julien Flint!" Sydney's body trembled when she heard Julien say that the proposal was Brandon's. She could not bother addressing him formally and instead called his full name. "That's clearly my proposal. Don't think that you can make it Brandon Madden's proposal just because you put his name on it."
Everyone was shocked when they heard her words.
Julien narrowed his eyes even more. "Are you saying that we changed your proposal to President Madden's?"
"Didn't you?" Sydney looked at him coldly, feeling very agitated. "I really didn't expect you to be so shameless. You actually resorted to something this despicable just to let Brandon get a collaboration seat?"
If her proposal was eliminated because it was too poor, she would naturally accept that result.
However, that was not the case. Her plan was very good, otherwise, it would not be robbed by Brandon and win a collaboration seat. How could she just let this go?
Julien looked at the furious Sydney and then at Brandon, who had his head down with a guilty expression.
He realized that Sydney was telling the truth.
The proposal on the screen was really Sydney's, not Brandon's.
Brandon stole another person's proposal and showed it off as his own!
Julien's eyes narrowed dangerously, and the air around him turned icy.
Everyone knew that he was angry.
