While at Reid Incorporated, Clark looked at a project blueprint in his office.
"Mr. Reid, our biggest competitor for East Platinum is Freeman Incorporated," Jeremy said worriedly. "They're already done with the negotiation of the land they bid. It will be difficult for us to recover from this."
"Nothing's easy in the business world, Jeremy," Clark said.
Jeremy was deep in thought. The opponent wasn't an average Joe to be able to compete in a bid with a large corporation like Reid Incorporated. After all, an insignificant foe would not dare to face Clark, to begin with.
Suddenly, Clark's eyes widened as he stared at the monitor.
"What's wrong, Mr. Reid? Did something happen to the blueprint?" Jeremy asked. He was concerned for the people in the engineering department.
Clark turned the monitor toward Jeremy. What Jeremy saw jolted him.
It was an email from an anonymous sender sent half a minute ago. It was attached with a photo and nothing else.
Jeremy's face turned pale. "Mr. Reid, this photo…"
The photo depicted Judy and Dominic in a doctor's office. He was holding and inspecting carefully at her hand.
Clark gazed at the holding hands in the photo and ordered coldly, "Check the IP address. Find out who sent this."
"Y-Yes, sir," Jeremy shivered as he replied.
Clark tapped his finger on the table with his eyes fixated on the photo. His eyes widened again when he remembered the things that had happened recently.
It appeared that the Blake family wasn't content with the outcome they got in return for marrying Judy to the Reid family, despite they were the ones substituting it with a mute.
