Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover
Chapter 792

"Ms. Claire, what's your take on this?" Claire finally aimed the blame squarely at Connor. From the get-go, Connor had been sitting there, brooding and silent, watching everyone with a steely gaze. The only one who seemed to have his back was Isaac. Connor finally broke his silence, "The leak of confidential data was my responsibility, and I'm willing to face the music for it." A slight smile played on Claire's lips. "I'll make sure to find the leak and hold them accountable."

Connor locked eyes with Claire. It was obvious whose handiwork this was without needing to say it. Claire smirked, "Sure, finding the leak is crucial, but with the press conference tomorrow, if you come up empty-handed and DreamMaker tanks, causing our stocks to nosedive, how do you plan to fix that?"

Tomorrow marked the launch of the DreamMaker System. Sartori Corporation had gone all out with the promotions, and the whole world of investors was watching.

Connor replied, "If by tomorrow I haven't figured out a solution, haven't stopped DreamMaker Inc., and Sartori Corporation's stocks from crashing, I'll step down from my position at Sartori Corporation the day after tomorrow, Ms. Claire."

Isaac jumped to Connor's defense,

"Connor, don't be rash. You're

walking right into their trap." This was Claire's setup. Finding the leak was easy, she could just pin it on a fall guy. But even with a scapegoat, what difference would it make? The Nagel family would never own up to it they'd just flip the script Investors around the globe wouldn't care if you were set up. Their only concern

is the product and the profits.

Claire chimed in, "Alright, a gentleman's agreement it is, with all shareholders as witnesses." Connor pressed on, "Sis, you've pulled out all the stops to push me out of the company. Since I've made a promise, shouldn't you show a bit of good faith too?"

Claire shot him a disdainful look, "I

knew you'd have terms." She knew Connor well enough to realize he wouldn't throw in the towel easily. However resolving this mess in a day was no walk in the park. Even if Connor uncovered the truth, she had plenty of scapegoats lined up. Besides, this was a move she and Kent had cooked up together. Although it would hurt the Sartori family's interests, the Nagel family stood to gain. It's all part of the game.

Connor proposed, "If I can steer Sartori Corporation through this crisis unscathed, hand over twenty percent of your shares to me." Claire's face turned icy, yet she couldn't help but chuckle, "You've got quite the ambition." As soon as Connor took the reins, he had stripped her of her VP title. Now, he was after her shares. Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Claire knew this was a gamble, a high-stakes chess match. Connor was wagering everything he had against everything she owned. Whoever lost would be left with nothing. But what puzzled Claire was where Connor got the nerve to think he could sort this out in a day and stop the stock crash. Was he just bluffing? Claire frowned, studying Connor intently, as the flicker of emotions in her eyes kept everyone guessing.
