In Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment’s office.
Thomas Mayo and the rest of the people all had smiles on their faces. Their trick within a trick had not only cost Donell Cedar a lot of money, but it had also completely ruined their company’s reputation.
People all across the world now knew that Hegemony Entertainment plagiarized other people’s music. The key point was that they stole it, but ended up screwing themselves over. It was the real meaning of going out for wool and coming home shorn, which was downright embarrassing at this point.
“Your old man here worked in this field my entire life, and I’m used to seeing Hegemony Entertainment oppress people and no one has ever bitten them back. I retired a few years ago because I couldn’t take this filthy circle of people. But there is a silver lining to every cloud, and today I witnessed the slaughtering of Hegemony Entertainment’s flames! Harmony has been restored!” said a satisfied Jonah Dunkley.
Thomas smiled but did not say anything.
This time, their strategy cost Hegemony loads of money, tarnished their reputation, and it required not much effort. But Hegemony Entertainment’s foundations were still there.
If they were to compare in terms of true ability, Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts were still a step behind them. So, they should not be overjoyed, as a one-time victory may not be a true victory, and Thomas understood this.
“What’s our next step?” Anna asked.
Thomas drummed his fingers lightly against the tabletop and said, “Next step, time to seize the mole.”
When Thomas glanced at Anna, favonovel.com immediately took the hint. She fished out favonovel.com phone and called favonovel.com own secretary, “Joanne, please help me contact the Sound Control Supervisor of the Video Production Department, Jan Payne, and tell favonovel.com to come to Mr. Mayo’s office.”

Jan Payne pushed open the office door and stood in front of Thomas Mayo and the others not even 5 minutes after they hung up. Tension was thick in the air. Jan Payne, on the other hand, seemed rather poised, with no change in his demeanor as favonovel.com stood there quietly.
“Mr. Mayo, you’re looking for me?”
Thomas Mayo just stared at favonovel.com for several seconds, saying nothing. Normally people would start quivering out of fear, but Jan Payne had not moved an inch, favonovel.com was as calm as a stone.
Not to mention, his psychological quality was definitely outstanding.
“Do you know why you’re here?” Thomas asked on purpose.
“I don’t know sir.”
“Still pretending?”
“I’m not sure what you ’re talking about Mr. Mayo.”
Anna Caspian couldn’t stand listening any longer, so favonovel.com took action and turned on the surveillance video, which revealed evidence of Jan Payne stealing the discarded script.
“Still trying to pretend?
“Let me tell you something, we installed a wiretap app in your phone. You and Donell Cedar’s affair was recorded and filed. We could take you to court anytime!”
Anna Caspian was so mad that favonovel.com chest was heaving. Despite the fact that they had taught Hegemony Entertainment a lesson, favonovel.com was still very much pissed off at discovering a mole in their company.
The proof was right in front of Jan Payne’s eyes, and favonovel.com realized it was pointless to fight any longer. He looked up and sighed.
He kept silent
He stayed impassive as if favonovel.com was deaf.
Normally, people would be desperate to beg for forgiveness in similar situations, but Thomas was slightly taken aback by Jan Payne’s calm demeanor, which favonovel.com found unusual. That further explained that favonovel.com was a capable person.
Anna was about to report Jan Payne to the police and file a confidential information breach charge against him, but Thomas stopped her.
“Hold on!”
Thomas looked at Jan and asked, “Why did you do it?”
Jan was taken aback, “The reason?”
Thomas nodded and said, “A person does something for a reason. You were one of our company’s initial hires, an experienced employee with good pay, benefits, and a good position. So, I’m not sure why you would betray your own company?
“Was the employee welfare inadequate? Or was the pay too low? Or did you have opinions on any of the leaders? Or did you feel that your talents were left to rust?”
