Chapter 1407 Revealing One’s True Colors

Kendrick's brow furrowed as he studied the document in his hands. The incident at the medical base was Darcy's

handiwork.

The investigation hadn't been challenging. It was clear that Darcy had manipulated a money-hungry man to do her

bidding. A small sum of money was all it took to uncover everything he needed to know.

Darcy harbored many secrets about him. If he acted rashly, he might face repercussions.

This issue required a long-term strategy. It was high time to wrest control of some matters from Darcy's hands. If

things continued as they were, disaster was inevitable.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Mr. Hofstead, there's a document that requires your signature."

It was Darcy.

Kendrick's eyes slightly darkened as he commanded. "Enter."

This day marked the first step. Colton's situation was precarious, and he couldn't afford any further delays.

"Mr. Hofstead, this document is rather urgent and requires your signature. Also, there's an impromptu meeting

scheduled for this afternoon; you need to prepare for it."

Darcy entered, completely unaware that her actions had already been discovered. She felt a sense of

accomplishment, considering that she had managed to keep her involvement in this matter completely hidden from

everyone.

Kendrick looked at Darcy thoughtfully and responded with a simple "Hmm."

Seeing Kendrick's change in demeanor, she began to feel uneasy. Kendrick's attitude was no longer as friendly as

before.

"Mr. Hofstead." Her voice quivered slightly. She wanted to inquire about something, but after starting, she didn't

know how to continue with her words.

"Speak."

Kendrick briefly glanced at the document in his hand, confirmed that it was in order, and then efficiently signed it,

handing it back to Darcy. The legal department had briefed him on this document earlier, so he didn't need to

examine it closely. However, Darcy's actions had cost her his trust. Harming Nicole behind his back was

unforgivable.

"It's nothing. I'll take my leave now."

Darcy shook her head and left with the document. She decided to inquire later whether that person had been

asking about anything related to her.

"Has anyone been asking you anything recently?"

Darcy's unease intensified. She had a hunch that her actions had been exposed, but no one had confirmed it to her,

and there was no evidence to confirm her suspicions. However, Kendrick's gaze was more menacing than before,

which frightened her.

"Huh, what are you talking about? Don't you know the rules here? A hundred grand. Not a penny less." The man on

the other end of the line responded as if he didn't recognize Darcy, demanding a substantial sum.

Darcy gasped at the high demand. She hadn't anticipated that a simple question would prompt the man to demand

such a hefty sum. However, if paying him could ensure his silence, it might be worth it. She planned to gather more

leverage against him in the future and then let Kendrick handle him. This way, the money he had taken would also

be returned, ending up back in the company's accounts, where she could access it.

With her plan in mind, Darcy agreed, saying, "Alright, a hundred grand. Give me your bank account number."

After that, she hung up the phone. Now, she needed to figure out where to obtain a hundred thousand dollars.

Darcy stood outside her office, clutching her phone tightly. She discreetly pinched her own flesh, feeling the sting of

pain. Tears welled up in her eyes, giving her a pitiful appearance.

At this point, her only option seemed to be approaching Kendrick and asking for help. She had worked diligently by

his side for many years, and he should be willing to assist her to some extent.

Taking a deep breath, Darcy knocked on the door and, upon hearing the response from inside, entered the office.

"Mr. Hofstead, I'd like to discuss something with you."
