“There will be another announcement at the conclusion of the investigation, right?” Luca did not say


    that she knew who was behind it. Instead, she only said that she was not curious.


    She knew that curiosity killed the cat.


    Jason smiled as he listened to her exnation. He came to her office to find out what she knew, but it


    seemed that he did not find anything interesting.


    “You’re right. We’ll definitely publish the findings once the investigation isplete,” he said.


    Luca nodded. “Mm. That’s why I don’t need to make any baseless guesses now.”


    Jason smiled. He felt his phone vibrate, so he took it out and nced at the screen. “Alright, Dr. Craw, I


    won’t take up any more of your time.”


    “Take care.” As Luca watched Jason leave, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.


    He must have been testing her…


    Luca closed the office door behind her and went to theboratory to continue her research.


    …


    Back at Watson Biopharmaceuticals, Cole was exasperated when he read the announcement. The


    security guard that was caught was his cousin’s son.


    He did not expect that the security guard would break so easily under interrogation. Even though the


    security guard did not implicate him in the incident, he had a feeling that Jason would be knocking on


    his door very soon.


    After all, they already knew that the security guard was his rtive.


    Cole kneaded his hands together worriedly. He thought of contacting the security guard, but the


    security guard was currently detained in the police station. Even if he were to visit him there, they


    would not have the chance to talk in private.


    “How unlucky!” He cursed under his breath. He thought he could get rid of Luca, but instead, Luca had


    benefited from his ploy while he had to be kept on tenterhooks.


    Cole waited for Talia to appear in his office, but she did note. He dialed Talia’s number on the


    internal line, but Mo picked up the call instead.


    He frowned and asked sternly, “Ms. Stone, where is Talia Sullivan?”


    “Ms. Sullivan said that she has an upset stomach, so she’s in the washroom now. Are you looking for


    her? Should I go to the bathroom and let her know?” Mo sounded calm, as though she was


    concentrating on digging some new gossip.


    Cole had rarely gone to theboratory in the past two days. Instead, he had been brooding in his office.


    Talia did not go to theboratory too, and she had often gone into Cole’s office.


    “It’s fine. When she returns, tell her toe to my office,” Cole said.


    The entire Technical Department was busy at work, so that they could be the next one to move into T


    Corporation. Only Cole’s team did not make any progress.


    “Alright,” Mo replied.


    After she hung up, she sat on her chair and waited. Five minutester, Talia came into the office with a


    pale face.


    “What’s wrong, Talia? You don’t look too good,” Mo asked out of concern.


    Talia took a few deep breaths while gently grasping her chest. “I threw up in the toilet. I think it’s


    because I ate something wrong this morning.”


    “You threw up?” Mo suddenly thought of something. She shot a nce at Talia’s t stomach. “We


    can’t really say if it’s serious, but you’ve not been feeling well for the past two days. Why don’t you take


    the rest of the day off and pay a visit to the doctor?”


    Talia shook her head. She could not afford to be away from the office at this critical juncture.


    She was afraid that Cole might backstab her when she was not around…


    “It’s fine. I’ve always had stomach problems. I’ll just need to rest for a bit,” Talia said as she sat down


    on her chair. “Everyone in the department seems to be so busytely. I don’t think I can bring myself to


    tell Dr. Kidman that I want to take the day off.”


    When Mo heard that, she said, “Right, Dr. Kidman was looking for you earlier, and it seems to be


    something urgent. You should go to his office now. He didn’t sound very patient either.”


    She deliberately told Talia more in an attempt to befriend Talia.


    Talia knew why Cole was in a bad mood. The security guard that had helped them was arrested, and


    the two of them were in a precarious position.


    Even so, she smiled gratefully at Mo. “Thanks for your reminder. I should go now.”


    Mo waved her hand. “Take care.”


    After Talia left, Mo was left alone in the office. She leaned back on her chair and narrowed her gaze.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Things were getting interesting. Did Cole and Talia n the incident?


    Mo changed a sitting pose and nodded to herself. She had a strong feeling that her guess was correct.


    She knew that Cole was a chauvinistic man, and he could not bear to see Luca outperform him.


    On the other hand, Talia seemed to be quite friendly to Luca at first. However, Mo heard the rumor that


    Talia had approached Luca to be her assistant, but Luca had rejected her.


    Perhaps that was why Talia hated Luca.


    If the two people shared the same goal, it was not too hard toe up with a n…


    Mo smiled and shook her head. She had always kept a low profile in the office, but she knew more


    about office politics than anyone else. Rather than coborators, Talia seemed to be more like Cole’s


    pawn in his n.


    As for Talia’s stomach…


    Mo could tell that Talia was showing symptoms of pregnancy. She also knew about the illicit


    interactions between Talia and Cole.


    She heard that Cole had been married to his wife for many years, but his wife had poor health, and


    they never had any children.


    Cole was already enjoying a sessful career. Mo was sure that he wanted a child very much.


    Would Talia’s child be able to save Talia?


    Mo twirled a loose strand of hair with her finger. She smiled in anticipation of what was toe.


    Talia quickly walked to Cole’s office. She knew that Cole’s tolerance toward her was getting lower and


    lower, and she dared to make him wait.


    When she arrived at the door, she could feel that her heart was beating very fast, and her head was


    spinning.


    Talia took a deep breath and knocked on the door.


    “Come in,” Cole said. Talia opened the door and went inside.


    “Dr. Kidman,” Talia said while taking deep breaths. Cole was smoking in his office, and the stench of


    tobo made her choke.


    She dared notin when she saw Cole’s face.


    “Close the door and sit down.” Cole was not sympathetic to her even though her face was pale. He


    thought that she was pretending.


    Talia took another deep breath, closed the door, and sat opposite him. “I know you have something to


    tell me, Dr. Kidman. Just say it.”
