Asher instinctively nced at Evelina and ric. Did they really not see thising?


    Lemira smirked, "Stop looking their way. If those two clowns had any clue, we wouldn''t have had the spectacle just now." Did she really think she''d carelessly leave herptop behind, open to the very document?


    She wasn''t born yesterday!


    But it seems two fools fell for it!


    It was only then that Evelina realized she had been duped.


    Lemira had intentionally left herptop there for her to find!


    By the time Evelina grasped the full extent of the deception, she slumped into her chair, panic-stricken. What now?


    The tables turned swiftly.


    With a mockingly sweet smile, Lemira said, "I believe ourpetition rules are clear. Any act of dishonest promotion, underhanded tactics, or unfair business practices would result in disqualification." That''s when Asher realized he''d been yed by Lemira too.


    Her act had been so convincing, all to trap him. Now, he was at a loss for words.


    Asher came today, full of confidence, determined to outshine Lemira.


    Evelina had stolen Lemira''s concept, which indeed was brilliant, and he used it just to be safe.


    He wanted to teach Lemira a lesson!


    But being caught breaking the rules meant theirpany would lose its chance.


    Asher refused to lose!


    He could afford to drop this project, but he couldn''t stand losing to Lemira.


    Asher turned to the director, "There''s more to this story, I can exin."


    "Mr. Langston, please take your seat. We have more presentations to get through. We''ll discuss this matter after the event."novelbin


    Reluctantly, Asher stepped down.


    Lemira,ptop in hand, brushed past him.


    "Winners take all, thanks for the demo!" she whispered breezily.


    Asher paused, his expression darkening.


    His gaze fell on Evelina, filled with a terrifying intensity.


    Evelina shrank back, a cold sweat breaking out over her. She was in deep trouble!


    Evelina red at Lemira on stage,


    her eyes venomous. Why wouldnret ent


    she just fall into the trap?\


    couldn''t she lose just once?


    Why was Lemira always one step ahead?


    Why was fate so unfair?


    On stage, Lemira unveiled her PowerPoint, filled with ideas far removed from the original n.


    Her talk on futuristic Al concepts was groundbreaking and innovative!


    Watching Lemira''s riveting presentation, Asher''s face turned ashen.


    Clearly, Lemira had anticipated Evelina''s moves.


    He had underestimated Lemira this time.


    Watching Lemira, dazzling and confident on stage, Asher felt aplex mix of emotions.


    Lemira had indeede a long way.


    From being stubborn to bing unbreakable!


    Evelina, seething with jealousy, and ric, regretting his scheme against Lemira knew their rtionship with her would never be the same.


    All because of Evelina!


    Twenty minutester, Lemira concluded her impressive presentation.


    The room fell silent, then erupted in


    apuseted by the director,


    "Incredible, Lemira. Your ideas are fascinating, though some of us might need a bit more exnationter."


    "Of course, I''d be d to."


    Lemira breathed a sigh of relief, having improvised the entire presentation.


    Maple Group''s members were astounded by her performance.


    The team leader asked, "When did youe up with all this?"


    Lemira''s presentation had been exceptional!


    "Justst night, it''s still rough around the edges. I hadn''t expected to actually use it today!"


    The team leader then addressed the director confidently, "So, how shall we deal with The Langston Group''s giarism?"


    Asher''s face darkened as he stared at Lemira.
