Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 734

"What!" Chad thought he had misheard. "Didn't Tyler stop them?"

He quickly skimmed through the news report. The Presgraves' chip concept may have been presented with different wording from what Killian Corporation had proposed, but it was the same concept. This was blatant plagiarism!

When Rhett first started working with Tyler, Chad had some reservations, but Rhett assured him that everything would be fine, which was why Chad had allowed him to use their resources. Yet, despite the precautions, things had still gone wrong!

"It was Tyler who led the press conference and announced the news!' the marketing director reported.

Chad's eyes widened.

"Has he forgotten that he signed a contract with us? The agreement included confidentiality clauses!" Chad shouted. 'And now he's stealing our design!"

"Well, I wouldn't exactly call it stealing. The technology director scratched his head.

He was a fan of both S and Raven and had a bit of a bias toward them. "When S and Raven submitted this design, Mr. Rhett rejected it and sent it back for revisions. But honestly, the design was pretty solid.

"Mr. Rhett just wanted it to be flawless. We didn't expect S to take the design and give it to the Presgraves." When Rhett rejected the design for revisions, he didn't provide clear directions, which seemed he was deliberately making things difficult for them.

"But regardless of whether Mr. Rhett approved it, that design was developed for Killian Corporation. How could they use it themselves?" the marketing director argued. "By using it, Tyler violated the contract."

"The issue is that Mr. Rhett never said S couldn't use the design elsewhere," the technology director pointed

out.

Typically, companies had confidentiality clauses in their contracts with developers to prevent them from selling their designs or harming the company's interests during their employment.

Chad ordered his secretary to pull up Tyler's contract. Sure enough, Rhett didn't restrict the reuse of the design

Even though that clause was missing, most people would still adhere to professional ethics and wouldn't breach the contract. But not Tyler, the madman!

To make matters worse, Rhett had been taken in for investigation. And who knew when that would be resolved? Chad was overwhelmed by the mess.

"Even if it wasn't in the contract, this is still plagiarism!" the marketing director insisted.

"But..." the technology director began.

"Enough! Stop arguing!" Chad cut them off. "Call everyone involved in this project for a meeting. Neil, go fetch Hera as well."

Just as he finished speaking, an HR associate knocked on the door. "Mr. Killian, Hera just sent a resignation email to the entire company. She's refusing to work on Killian Corporation's new chip development.

Hera was resigning on purpose!

With the share issue unresolved, the corporation's project stolen, and now, their core personnel quitting. everything was happening at a time when Killian Corporation was short-staffed. Was this the end of Killian Corporation?

"Reject the resignation and do whatever it takes to keep her," Chad ordered grimly.

He then gave various tasks to his team and took charge of organizing a new chip development meeting.

By midnight, Chad returned to his office, where a pile of unapproved documents awaited him. It seemed like
