Spencer stepped aside and called Damon, briefly exining the situation before ending the call.
“Mr. Summer has agreed to call the police,” he informed after hanging up.
The police arrived promptly.
A N and Melody gave their statements, Gabriel walked into the office. Upon seeing the police, his eyes widened, but he quickly masked his surprise.
“N, Melody, what’s going on?” he asked.
Spencer stepped forward and said, “Mr. Hackett, the experimental data from Ms. Jayston’s <b>project </b>has been leaked. Have you noticed anyone suspicious entering or leaving theb recently?”
Gabriel thought for a moment and shook his head. “No, It’s usually just the three of us in theb.”
Spencer nodded “Alright. You’ll need to provide a statement as well.”
After they finished their statements, <b>two </b>hours had passed. They were instructed not to return to theb and to wait at home for the investigation results, remaining avable for further police questioning.
As they left Prospectus Technology, Melody suggested they go out for <b>a </b>meal and review their recent experiments to determine when the data might have been leaked.
N agreed, and Gabriel, being part of theb, naturally joined them. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Once they were seated in a private room, Melody spoke first. “N, I swear I didn’t leak thepany’s data, and I believe you didn’t either. I suspect someone is intentionally sabotaging us!”
Her voice was filled with frustration at being falsely used.
N’s gaze flickered, and she replied quietly, “Yes. The key is figuring out how the data was leaked.” Contelligence’s release of the experimental data, which closely matched her own work, had effectively rendered her previous progress useless. If the source of the leak wasn’t identified, she would be held responsible.
Nopany would want a researcher known for leaking data, and this issue could even jeopardize her chances for further studies. She had to find the person responsible!
Gabriel quietly listened as N and Melody discussed, though neither of them noticed the calcting and cold expression in his lowered eyes.
After everyone and the police had left, Spencer returned to report the progress at the CEO’s office in Prospectus Technology.
Damon’s expression remained indifferent as he listened. “The person who leaked the data definitely isn’t her”
Spencer thought Damon’s statement was overly definitive and couldn’t help but argue, “Mr. Sumner, the
final results aren’t in yet. Each of the three of them <b>is </b>still a suspect.”
“Go back to work and report any updates as soon as you have them,” Damon replied.
Spencer hesitated before asking<b>, </b>“Mr. Sumner, what if it turns out to be Ms. Jayston? What will you do then?”
“If it turns out to be her, I will take full responsibility for the consequences,” Damon answered. Spencer frowned but said nothing more and turned to leave.
After dinner, N returned home, and it was already past 6:00 p.m. She took a bottle of cold water from the fridge and sat on the sofa, contemting who might have leaked the data.
Aside from the three of them, other people at Prospectus Technology who had ess to the experimental progress could also be suspects.
However, in terms of likelihood, they were the top suspects. After all, she and Melody were in theb daily, while Gabriel worked in the office and could sometimes overhear their discussions about the Ny?a trusted Melody, but Gabriel… Could he be the one who had leaked the data?
As she was deep in thought, the doorbell rang.
