My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire !

Chapter 38: Face-Slapping

"Why should I ask you?"

Jake sneered. "Keira, this is a personnel change within the Horton Group, your

opinions are irrelevant."

"What about Dr. South's opinion?"

Keira's tone was very light, with a hint of mockery in her expression.

Jake was taken aback. "What does Dr. South's opinion have to do with you?"

Could she know Dr. South?

The smile on Keira's lips grew colder. "I am..."

Before she could say the words "Dr. South", Luca suddenly stepped forward,

blocking her way.

Til follow Jalen's instructions'."

Keira's pupils contracted in shock as she looked at Luca.

The other members of the team also laughed and chimed in.

"Yes, we'll follow Jalen's instructions'."

Keira looked incredulously at the team members.

just half an hour ago, they were attacking her for not working effectively, but

now, they were unequivocally standing with her.

Jake wasn't just a deputy head of the R&D Department, but he was also the legitimate grandson of the Horton family.

Once his power became invincible, how could these people, who had enraged him, continue to work at Horton Group?

But they weren't considering this at all...

Keira's throat tightened, and there was a smile in her eyes.

Jake's face grew even uglier. He suppressed his anger and sneered. "It seems that the pressure of R&D on you all isn't as much as I thought, hence the lack of need for Dr. South's help. In that case, I presume the final task of this project wouldn't be much of a challenge for you all? Have the solution submitted by

the end of this Friday."

The entire project timeline was divided into two parts, with teams one and two responsible for one part each.

The biggest challenge of the project was to perfectly integrate these two parts.

Handing over this task to Group One wasn't an issue. Jalen could certainly solve the problem in a couple of months. However, Jake had only given them a week!

Jalen protested angrily, "This is totally unreasonable!"

Jake simply retorted: "If Dr. South were to do it, it would be solved in three days. You don't need Dr. South's help because you think you're great, right? One week is more than enough!"

Having left those words, he turned and left.

Keira's eyes darkened slightly. She followed him out of the office and said,

"Shall we talk?"

Jake narrowed his eyes, and the two went into the corridor outside.

Keira looked at him. "Care to make a bet?"

The sudden proposition made Jake feel bewildered.

He was reminded of his senior year in college when he had also used this method to pursue her.

He had said to her, "Keira, do you dare to bet? Let's see who finishes their graduation thesis first. The one who loses must grant the winner a request."
