Chapter 332 – Scarlette’s Confidence

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

"Miss Scarlette…" Sienna smiled. She was already scheduled to meet Scarlette a few days back. She eyed her wristwatch. It was exactly ten in the morning when Scarlette walked inside her office.

"Miss Rouse, thank you so much for seeing me." Scarlette had the same polite smile on her face. On the outside, she looked calm and relaxed and anyone would think that she looked pleasant. Scarlette was wearing a black pantsuit. She tied her hair in a bun that made her look more professional. And while she wasn't as cute as Amanda Bane, Scarlette looked decent enough to attract a lot of attention from men.

Still, Sienna wondered why Grant was never attracted to Amanda.

"Of course, I remember you from Grant's celebration."

Scarlette smiled. "I don't want to waste your time Miss Rouse. I am here because I wanted to join your company."

"I presume you didn't just want to talk to me in person because you wanted a job, right?" Sienna lifted an eyebrow. She was waiting for a show and hoped that this woman won't disappoint.

"Yes. As I said, I know some information that could change everything inside the Rouse Tech." Amanda didn't waste any more time. She handed her a tablet. "This is a security program that I personally design. It took me a year to finish all the details. I am aware that it wasn't perfect."

[The reincarnator is using her knowledge of the future to plagiarize this product.]

Interesting, she thought inwardly. 'Tell me more.'

[This is AA Security, a top-notch security software that would win the best security software award this year. It was originally owned by AAS Company abroad. For some reason, she obtained it and developed it on her own. According to Bee's latest scan, the person who originally created the program no longer existed in this world. However, he managed to leave a signature in his codes.]

"Looks impressive," Sienna said.

"And I can give it to you. This would surely win the Security Software Award this year. It can even…"

"But I already saw this type of software."

"Excuse me?"

"I said… someone already showed this software to me. He originally designed it. May I know if you manage to acquire this from him?"

A thick suffocating silence followed. It was as if Scarlette had something stuck in her throat as she opened her mouth and closed it without saying anything. Then she cleared her throat over and over. "I—"

"It is not embarrassing to acquire programs from other people. This is the reason why the black market existed, isn't it?"

"I made this software using everything that I had," Scarlette said. "There is no way that someone already showed this to you."

Sienna only smiled in response. "That person asked me to buy the software too. And just like now… I declined him."

"What— What are you saying?" For a few seconds, panic can be seen in the woman's eyes. "How could someone present the software to you? I made this! I personally…"

"Miss Scarlette… I am someone that remembers everything that I saw once. I— "

"That's enough."

Sienna lifted an eyebrow at Scarlette's aggressive behavior. How come the woman was so confident about this software? Did she… kill the person who created this?

"There is no way that someone else would make this software. And I won't take any insults from you, Miss Rouse."

"Miss Scarlette… I am not…"

"I knew how business works. I know you would say that your team could examine this closely. Then you would ask me for the software. And once that happens… you can easily alter it and make it yours!"

"Now that is a little too imaginative, Miss Scarlette."

"I originally thought that you would be different because you are Grant's sister. It turns out that…" Scarlette sighed. "Nevermind. Since it's already like this then please forget that I came here today. And please don't force me to say what I wanted to tell you from the start."

"…" Sienna blinked. Is it possible to just slap this woman and knock some sense into her brains? Just because she knew the future didn't mean that she could do whatever she want!

Sienna watched as Scarlet stormed out of her office with her software.

"Jane…."

"Miss?"

"Have some of our people follow her around. Make sure you investigate that name that I give you later." There is a reason why Scarlette seemed too confident earlier and she wanted to find out the reason behind it.

"Yes, Miss."

After a few hours, Sienna received the news that Scarlette already made a deal with the rival company. "So, she already made a deal with them before coming to see me," Sienna uttered. As the realization hit her.

Scarlette never planned to see her in the first place. She already decided to sell the software to a rival company. However, Sienna's arrival changed everything. Scarlette didn't know anything about Sienna so she decided to use the software to get close to her. But it didn't work. So, she immediately sold the software to the original company that would win the award. "And… the company agreed to use her name, right?"

"Yes, Miss."

Sienna lean back. "Good… that's good."

"Also… the result of the DNA test is here."

"Give it to me." Sienna accepted the envelope but didn't open it yet. "Anything else?"

"Ah… before I forget, our people found traces of that man… the one that you said? Mr. Hou. He is alive but… we cannot locate him."

"Find him as soon as possible and… find a connection between him and Scarlette."

"Yes, Maam!"

Now Sienna didn't know what Scarlette did to the poor man. She didn't even know if he was still alive. But this Mr. Hou is the key to everything. He needed him to reveal Scarlette's evil schemes. "Ah, Miss… Young Master Grant is here to see you. He said it was about the breach."

"Oh?" Sienna eyed the result of the DNA test. She squinted and wondered if she should open it before Grant came in. "That was really quick. Anyway… let him come inside."

"Elder Sister…" Grant strode inside his office, his face was grim.. "We need to talk."
