Chapter 87: The Start Of Face Slapping

Ch-86

"It's not that… I don't want everyone to keep their attention on us. Amelia already hates me… and she thinks she is best for you. I don't want her to turn crazy because of this," Eleanor explained. 

"And here… if you show this much care… if by chance my company gets the deal… they will say that I got everything because of our relationship. And they say I opened my legs to you… and my hardwork and the hardwork of my employees would be thrown into waste. I know… you like and so do I. But I don't want others to think that I am a waste. And you are too outstanding for me," Eleanor said in a low voice which was enough for him to hear, lowering her head. 

Cedric kept mum and said nothing. He kept the ice bag aside and folded his hands. There was a silence between them. 

"Ms. Parkinson's, we don't want to waste our time. We are good enough to give you time and alter the time slots of other companies. And you can't take that to your advantage.

"Since… you are wasting your time. I would like to prove either of the Parkinson's or the Zora groups to prove that one of them plagiarized their theme. And for that we only give you five minutes," Edward said feeling frustrated. 

"Ms. Zora… would you like to prove yourself?" Edward said. 

"Mr. Callan, since Ms. Parkinson's raised the issue. I guess you need to give her the opportunity first to prove that I am guilty." Eleanor said. 

"Ar…." Before Edward could say something, his words were cut off by Cedric. 

"Ms. Parkinson, you got five minutes starting this second," Cedric said. His voice was devoid of any emotion or warmth. It's like an iceberg was thrown out of his mouth the moment he opened his mouth. 

People shivered at his behavior. They concluded that he turned serious because of the small exchange between him and Elenor. They pitied Eleanor for her future bad luck. Some felt elated because she was no longer in favor of Cedric. They don't have to be scared that this deal would be snatched by her. 

"How can I prove it in five minutes!?" Amelia shrieked out. 

"If you have time and guts to point and accuse someone about plagiarism, then you should hold some evidence, Ms. Amelia. 

"We are not kids to believe whatever you say just because your company didn't go to the verge of bankruptcy. We are in the world of adults. We believe in the evidence and proof. If you show us the proof we will disqualify Zora groups from this project and future projects. Not only us but all the top five companies do that. 

"Do you think this thing would let Zora groups or Parkinson's groups suffer just based on your facts? Who are you to us? Do you think we would believe your words just because you said so?

"You forgot the fact that the Zora group once belonged to the top 5. And we know how it worked all these years. And it won't take much time to reach it back into the top 5. And if you notice the top five places are not constant." Edward hissed as he slapped the table harshly. 

He was so pissed off from her. When he saw the expression on her face he felt like slapping her face. She dressed like a whore from a night club and now she was standing in front of everyone with an expression on her face that showed Cedric deceived her.

And he got a message from his people that this stupid girl posted a blog which said, 'We get what we deserve the most. Just like how my company restored the top 5 spots. And I am sure the project would be given to those who work hard and don't plagiarize. And I am sure he would realize I am the better choice than her.' 

She said four points. First thing was, she said Zora groups never deserved the top 5 spots. And she even spoke about plagiarism early in the morning even before the Presentations started. It meant she was prepared for this from long ago. No wonder his sister-in-law asked them to change the slots at the last moment. If not she would have taken things slow. And she was saying Eleanor was the best choice. And she was showing the world that Eleanor was the third party between Amelia and Cedric. 

He read a few of the nasty comments under the posts. People even found that she was talking about Cedric and Eleanor. But the streamers got it right. How could they get it right if there was no insider information? Hmm? So… he asked his technical department to trace the negative comments. They found out that few tens of accounts were being operated by the same IP and same address which coincidentally belonged to the Parkinson's groups. 

He was trying to hold on to everything… but the new info about the IP address was making him break his control over his emotions. And till now Cedric was there to control him… now even he left his side… so he doesn't have anyone to control him. Unlike Cedric he plans every move like he was moving on a chessboard, Edward was an impulsive guy.

Gritting his teeth, he sat down. Now… her single post would put all the companies who were participating in a bid in big trouble. And she even mentioned plagiarism. The Zora groups were raising just now. Was she that hell adamant on stomping on to the Zora groups? They were raising just now but again she threw a vicious blow at them. 

Was she a human? 

It's not about the reputation or he was concerned about the Zora's. He was concerned about their employees. There were thousands of employees working under Zora groups. If… they were to go onto the roads losing their jobs then what will happen to their families? 

Edward got up from his seat and went near Cedric. He said something in his ears. Cedric opened his phone and searched for something. As seconds passed the air around him turned colder than Antarctica. 

For the first Eleanor realized why he was called a Business Devil. 

"How do we deal with this?" Edward asked. 

"Let things go as usual… but the part where these two groups prove their innocence should be made public," Cedric said to him. 

"How do we do that? We didn't call any media. We only call the media only when we sign the deal. We are at the starting stage. This would get us into a great loss. Not only us but all the companies involved in this bidding," Edward said. 

"As for those losses… Parkinson's group would take care of it. They would pay the compensation for everyone, even if they have to go bankrupt. Aren't they top 5… let them show the world they aren't swayed by their stupid sister's post. Let them show their love for her. 

"And we won't let this affect us in any way. I will look for a solution tonight. We can't disturb the schedules of everyone!" Cedric said in a loud voice which was enough to be heard by everyone. 

Everyone looked at Amelia with a gaze filled with questions. And when they recalled something that happened only after Cedric checked his phone, they opened their phones and checked the trending news in the business only to find the trending blog of Amelia. 

"Ms. Amelia, You only got one minute! I hope at least now you will start proving your innocence." Edward hissed. 

"Gentleman… I hope you all know the situation by now. And I guess you know… I saw everyone checking their phones. Give me half an hour. I will deal with this. And I hope everyone will be present. She would do me the favor by gracing you with your presence in the face-off," Cedric's polite words could be heard in the room. 

Everyone nodded their heads and showed their consent. 

"And everyone… Please open the live stream from your official page and start doing live streaming whatever happens from this very second." Cedric added. 

Even though Edward felt confused at his friend's words… he understood what he was doing. He informed his team to set up live streaming from his company's official site; they did it in a few minutes. In the next ten minutes, everything was set up. 

"Ms. Zora, prove your innocence. If you are not guilty. And the same applies for you Ms. Parkinson's," Cedric said and returned to his seat. 

Seeing that the top companies and half of the companies were doing the live streaming about the same thing… Many people joined the stream to watch the drama. And as seconds passed the count was only increasing. 

"Ms. Parkinson's… Don't waste our time. You didn't give the presentation and wasted the precious time of everyone. And earlier you got time to prove yourself but Zora groups didn't even get the time to prove themselves. And you even slapped Ms. Zora… without any evidence. Now… don't waste any more time and prove your innocence," Edward said through his gritted teeth. 

"Before that… I have three questions to ask Ms.. Parkinson's," Eleanor said with a smirk on her face.
