Since the boss gave him the go-ahead, Zach stopped hiding it and nodded, saying, "Soon after I received Ms. Raines' proposal, Ms. Madden arrived to submit her proposal. Midway, I went out to get a drink for Ms. Madden and left the proposals in the reception room. Ms. Madden was the only one in the room at that time..."
At this point, everything was clear now.
Sydney's proposal was switched by Lyra.
Julien lowered his eyes, his heart full of disappointment.
"That's nonsense!" Brandon slapped the table and stood up, glaring at Zach. "How dare you slander Lyra? Julien, is this how your assistant should act?"
He also knew that the proposal was switched by Lyra.
However, so what? He could never admit it.
"President Madden, I pride myself on being fair and impartial. What I said earlier is in no way false. If you don't believe me, I can retrieve the monitoring of the reception room," Zach looked at Brandon and said unhappily.
He worked painstakingly for years to get to where he was now. How would he wrongly accuse a person for no reason?
That would just be asking to lose his job.
Brandon's face turned white when he heard Zach say he could retrieve the monitoring.
Sydney sneered. "President Madden, your daughter is really filial. She even did something so shameless just to get you a cooperative seat."
"Indeed, the young lady opened our eyes today." Someone echoed.
Brandon's face switched between red and white like a palette. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground to bury his head.
He had never been so humiliated as he was now. It was worse than when he was arrested and brought to the police station.
After all, the outside world did not know what he did to be arrested, but it was different this time. Everyone knew that Lyra stole someone else's proposal and even thought that it was on his instructions. How would the people in the circle talk about him in the future?
At that moment, Brandon's heart was full of hatred.
He hated Sydney. He hated how she said the truth that the proposal belonged to her. Why could she not just swallow this grievance silently?
He also hated Julien. He hated how Julien did not settle this matter privately. Of course, the one he hated the most was that damn girl Lyra.
"President Flint." Sydney stopped paying attention to Brandon when she saw him at a loss for words and turned to look at Julien at the head of the table. "Since the truth has been revealed, how do you plan on dealing with this matter? Are you going to let President Madden keep the collaborative seat, or...?"
"Now that the truth is out, I declare that Brandon Madden's cooperative seat will be canceled and handed over to President Baines. Does anyone have any objections?" Julien interrupted her words and glanced at everyone's faces.
The group shook their heads. "Of course, not."
Besides, Brandon's seat should have belonged to Sydney in the first place.
Furthermore, they just finished reading Sydney's proposal. It was indeed very good.
"What about you, President Madden? Do you have any objections?" Julien called Brandon out by name.
Brandon's voice was extremely reluctant. "Of course, not."
Even if he did, what could he do?
Julien nodded and turned his eyes back to Sydney. " No one has any objections. Are you happy with this now?”
"Yes." A glimmer of joy flashed in Sydney's eyes.
She finally won the cooperative seat.
She won the bet with Stephen!
Sydney's fists clenched with excitement.
When Julien sensed her happiness, a smile flashed in his eyes before it disappeared just as quickly. He lifted his chin and was just about to say something when Sydney suddenly spoke, "But wait, President Flint. This isn't enough!"
Her words made the crowd's eyes brighten instantly in interest.
It seemed like Ms. Raines was quite ambitious. It was not enough for her to get back her proposal and a seat for the project. She also wanted to take the opportunity to ask for more benefits.
Brandon yelled in anger, "Sydney Raines, don't push your luck!"
