Chapter 252: 252. Do you want to spend money or go bankrupt_1

He was well aware that five hundred million was really nothing to Adam Jones; with just a flick of his finger, he could truly bankrupt a small company like his.

Between bankruptcy and a five hundred million compensation, Elijah Gibbs was all too clear about what to choose, but despite the clarity, it was still a third of his fortune. How could he be willing to just hand it over like that?

A light chuckle came from Adam’s side. He raised his eyes to look at Adam, who was like a proud wolf king; apart from prostrating yourself before him, you had no other choice.

"General Young, I gave you two options, and you’re saying I’m being unreasonable?"

It seemed Adam Jones no longer had the mood to continue the conversation with Elijah Gibbs, rising from his seat and saying:

"I’ll give General Young one day to consider, whether to incur the expense or face bankruptcy, the choice is yours. And one more thing, my wife hates it when I meddle in her matters, so if she learns even a single word about why I came to see you today, don’t blame me for being truly unreasonable."

Having said that, he stood up and left the cafe, leaving behind Elijah Gibbs, who slumped back into his seat with a pale face, overcome with waves of regret.

So what stroke of misfortune had led him to cross paths with such a formidable figure?

And how... how could the chairman of Brayman be Adam Jones’s wife, and why had no one told him!

Elly Campbell wasn’t slow on her end either. When Greenhill Ainley laid the investigation results in front of her, her expression was somewhat complex.

"CEO Campbell, what’s wrong?"

Seeing CEO Campbell staring at the investigation results without a word, Greenhill Ainley anxiously asked.

Elly Campbell came back to her senses and shook her head, saying, "It’s nothing."

Noticing her expression return to normal, Greenhill Ainley didn’t pry further, only saying, "This researcher joined last month and recently lost several million in gambling, which gave Glory Group the opportunity to bribe him into stealing the data from Director Stewart’s computer and giving it to Glory Group."

Upon saying this, Greenhill Ainley seemed to think of something and showed a hint of self-reproach, "I’m ashamed that I actually suspected Director Stewart of being the culprit yesterday."

Hearing Mr. Ainley’s words, Elly Campbell’s hand holding the pen trembled slightly. She subconsciously thought back to what Adam said yesterday and his gaze at the time, stirring up an indescribable tumult in her heart.

"Mr. Ainley, you take care of this matter. There’s no need to update me on the follow-up; please continue to keep track of the cooperation plan with Brayman."

"Okay, I understand. I’ll step out now."

"Mhm."

After Greenhill Ainley left, Elly Campbell leaned back in her chair, pressed on the stifling place in her heart, her mood somewhat jumbled.

Before long, the door to the office was pushed open again, and the secretary walked in quickly with a tablet in hand.

"CEO Campbell, take a look."

The secretary placed the tablet in front of CEO Campbell. It displayed a press conference held by Elijah Gibbs, the General Manager of Glory Group, where he was apologizing to their company in front of the media.

He admitted that a supervisor in their company’s technical team colluded with an internal employee from Brayman to steal Brayman’s patented technology and even promised in front of the media to compensate Brayman with five hundred million for reputational damages.

Five hundred million...

The amount was neither too large nor too small, but for a company like Glory Group, it certainly was a significant figure.

Elly Campbell was somewhat surprised; she had never expected the General Manager of Glory Group to be so decisive, not only straightforwardly admitting to their company’s foul play but even proactively offering to compensate them such a large sum of money?
