you tell me?”
“Mr. James said not to tell you, I thought I was doing a good thing Ms Simmons stammered
“Mr. James? You just believe what they say? These gifts aren’t from Charlie, do you know that?” Emily snapped.
“Oh my God!” Ms. Simmons gasped in shock. If they’re not from Mr James, then who sent them?”
Emily gathered all the items and gestured for Ms Simmons to help her carry them outside
Just as they reached the door, the doorbell rang Ms Simmons opened the door to find Estelle and Magdalen

Magdalen glanced at the luxury items and held out a hand to stop her, Why throw them away? Are they from

Emily gave them a brief overview of the situation.
Magdalen scoffed, This is a premeditated trap. They’ve taken photos of the gift. It’s useless to throw them away

“Charlie wouldn’t doubt you!” Estelle said with conviction.
Emily sighed, feeling guilty, “I’ve caused trouble for him again.”
Magdalen comfortingly pat her shoulder, “How could you blame yourself for this? Someone schemed against you,

Estelle asked, “Which other companies are involved in the bidding?”
Emily told them the name of the remaining four companies.
“Starlight Corporation? Magdalen raised an eyebrow, “Starlight Corporation is part of the Griffith Group, and the
person in charge is Waters, who has been pursuing Charlie”
