Chapter 316 She Sees the Roberts Family's Tragic Future Ending

Lily's eyes were scrutinizing, and she caught a flash of guilt in Sophie's eyes.

Sophie actually knew there was something wrong with IntelliSense AI Corporation.

But in her past life, everyone only found out after the scandal broke the next year.

Right now, everyone thought IntelliSense AI Corporation was a very capable foreign company.

Lily felt something was off. This wasn't right.

It seemed that in her past life, she'd been kept in the dark about a lot of things.

At that moment, David walked over with some people. "What a scam company!"

Sophie's heart instantly jumped into her throat. If David found out now, she'd be done for.

James quickly spoke up, "David, don't listen to Lily's nonsense. She's actually saying IntelliSense AI Corporation is a scam. She's probably just worried that the Roberts Group will surpass Maple Leaf Corporation, so she's deliberately saying this."

David looked at Lily thoughtfully. "Why would you say that?"

"The reason is simple. IntelliSense AI Corporation doesn't that name just sound like a scam company?"

Lily made up an excuse on the spot.

After hearing Lily say this, Sophie instantly felt relieved. She knew there was no way that bitch Lily could know so much details

At first, she hadn't realized that the company Paul brought in to drain David's resources was actually the infamous IntelliSense AI Corporation. She'd thought this company was actually legitimate.

That was why even David, who was usually suspicious, hadn't suspected anything.

But Sophie knew there was something wrong with this company.

Sophie said sarcastically, "Lily, I know you're worried that once David reinvests, it'll create competition with Maple Leaf Corporation, but this is fair business competition. You can't just randomly smear IntelliSense AI Corporation."

James chimed in, "Exactly. IntelliSense AI Corporation is a well-known major foreign enterprise. If Lily doesn't understand something, she shouldn't speak up and embarrass herself."

David looked at Lily. "I'd advise you to distance yourself from Maple Leaf Corporation sooner rather than later, so when the company goes bankrupt, you won't be stuck in the debt."

He knew Lily had shares in Maple Leaf Corporation.

Lily sneered, "I'm giving those words right back to you. Don't cooperate with companies of unknown origin."

She guessed that since Sophie couldn't keep taking money from the foundation, she'd turned her attention to artificial intelligence.

This thing couldn't be done by Sophie alone.

So it must be Sophie's father idea.

Looks like another opportunity had presented itself.

Lily walked in alone, while Sophie watched from the side, grinding her teeth. That bitch Lily was always making trouble for her.

Sophie immediately said pitifully, "David, if you believe what Lily said and suspect IntelliSense AI Corporation, you should make a decision early, so you don't become a laughingstock later."

David wasn't as easy to fool as the rest of the Roberts family. It had taken so much effort to convince David to cooperate with IntelliSense AI Corporation ,she couldn't let him become suspicious over one sentence from Lily.

David's tone was flat. "How could I believe Lily's attempt to drive a wedge between us?"

He'd personally investigated IntelliSense AI Corporation himself, and the West family's investigation had also said there were no problems, which was why he'd decided to cooperate with IntelliSense AI Corporation.

Sophie instantly broke into a smile. "David, I knew you wouldn't be fooled. I hope that when the new product is developed, it can help James walk like a normal person."

James looked touched as he held Sophie's hand. "Sophie, I knew you cared about me the most."

Sophie suppressed her discomfort and didn't push James away.

David glanced at them both. "The adoption termination paperwork has been processed. As long as you take good care of James, Sophie, there will always be a place for you at the Roberts Group."

He'd initially disagreed with them being together because of the adoption relationship , it would have been embarrassing if word got out.

Now that Emily already knew about this, there was no need to keep hiding it.

Since James liked Sophie, he'd make it happen for them. Consider it what he owed James.

James was happy. "Thank you, David."

Sophie lowered her head, a flash of hatred in her eyes. Why should she have to marry a disabled person?

Paul was right the Roberts family had never treated her like a real sister.

There were many people at the conference.

After walking around, Lily felt more confident about Maple Leaf Corporation's current technology.

Many things had changed compared to her past life. She had to be more careful.

What's more, she still hadn't found out who was behind Sophie.

And there were no extra clues from the Harper family either.

These people were like swords hanging over her head, ready to fall at any moment. She knew it was dangerous, but she had to find out the truth.

"Lily."

Lily saw Emily slowly walking toward her. She was a bit surprised. "Why did you come today?"

"My family made me come. I heard the AI project is researching prosthetic limbs, so I wanted to see if there's anything suitable for someone with uneven leg lengths like me."

Emily mentioned her leg very calmly, not hiding anything in front of Lily.

Lily glanced at Emily's foot. "Actually, it's not impossible. Would you mind testing on the equipment? I can collect some data to research back home. Maybe I can develop something."

"Sure."

After Emily agreed, David rushed over to stop them. "Come by the Roberts Group later. I can arrange for someone to measure your data, but taking off your shoes to test here with so many people watching isn't appropriate."

David felt it was embarrassing.

Although everyone knew Emily had a problem with her foot, she usually wore specially made shoes, and if she walked slowly, the problem wasn't too obvious.

But if she took off her shoes, it would be very obvious.

Most of the people here today were industry peers and investors. Someone would definitely recognize Emily and laugh at her.

Emily's expression became awkward for a moment, then she nodded. "Okay."

But Lily held Emily's hand. "It's just testing some data. What's inappropriate about it? So many people are testing here."

David lowered his voice. "But don't you see that the people testing are all disabled people missing arms or legs? How can Emily be the same? People will gossip."

"I think the person afraid of gossip is you, right?"

Emily didn't mind, everyone else didn't mind, but David minded.

Lily looked at David. He'd always thought Emily's mobility issues were shameful.

He didn't like Emily at all.

David didn't want to waste words with Lily, and instead looked at Emily. "If you do this, the West family won't be happy either when they find out."

The West family had never really allowed her to appear in public.

The smile on Emily's face faded considerably. She looked at Lily. "Thank you for your kindness. Next time, when there are fewer people, I'll go test."

Lily didn't say anything more.

She felt Emily's situation should also be taken into consideration.

At that moment, James and Sophie walked over, but when Sophie saw Emily, her expression became somewhat unnatural.

After all, last time at The Velvet Vine, she'd been thoroughly humiliated because of Emily.

James naturally also remembered what happened at The Velvet Vine, and in the end had been forced to make Austin pay the bill.

David looked at Sophie and James. "Since we've run into each other today, you two should apologize to Emily."

Both Sophie and James had identical expressions neither was very willing.

Emily sneered, looking at David. "Seems like they're not very willing."

David immediately put on a stern face. "What did you two promise at home?"

James thought about still needing David to give money for the wedding, and finally spoke up. "I'm sorry, Ms. West. It was all my fault. I took it upon myself to give your dress to Sophie."

David looked at Sophie again. "You've always been the most sensible one in the family. Don't disappoint me."

Sophie was about to die from frustration.

She still needed David to continue cooperating with IntelliSense AI Corporation, so she couldn't turn against him. Sophie spoke pitifully, "I'm sorry, Ms. West. I didn't know that was your dress. If I'd known, I wouldn't have worn it."

It was just a broken dress, what was so precious about it?

Emily looked at Sophie. "That's not what you should apologize for. You should apologize to Lily for deliberately spilling red wine on the dress to frame her."

Sophie's eyes reddened with grievance as she looked up at David. "David, I know Emily has something against me, but I can't admit to something I didn't do."

David would definitely believe her, not Emily.
