In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 753

Joseph answered in the affirmative, “Yes. Since she is the director of the development team, she will need to verify the lost instruments. Rachel and the team have spent two years doing the research, and those instruments for the exhibition are their successful inventions. It is a pity that some of them are stolen.”

I fell into silence. We could only have a clearer picture of the losses suffered when we arrive at the base.

Rachel was already there by the time we arrived. An air of despondency surrounded her as she looked at the damaged instruments.

Meanwhile, Armond was speaking with a policeman. Upon Ashton’s arrival, he went over to him and apologized, “I’m sorry for the losses suffered by Fuller Corporation. We will get to the bottom of this incident and give you an explanation for this.”

Hearing that, Ashton nodded. He cast his eyes over the crime scene before asking, “Have you verified the lost items?”

“Mm-hmm,” Armond uttered a response. “Ms. Zimmer is currently verifying them.”

Just then, Linda trotted toward us. Steeped in guilt, she apologized, “I’m sorry. This is all my fault. Actually, there are twelve security guards responsible for looking after the AI instruments. I came here last night and decided to stay a little longer since I found the AI instruments interesting, so I asked them to leave for their dinner. The head of the security guards has reminded me to lock the door when I leave, but I forgot about it.”

There was a total of four lines of defence to access the technology museum. Apart from the main door, the remaining three doors were all equipped with password locks and infrared sensors. Linda turned off the infrared sensors yesterday before she entered the museum. Since prolonged infrared exposure was harmful to the human body, they would usually turn the sensors off when there were visitors. Even without the infrared sensors, the security was tight as there would always be security guards on guard.

Unfortunately, the instruments were stolen at night, so the thief had more than enough time to bring those instruments out of the museum.

Just then, Rachel stomped out of the base, her face purple with rage. “Do you know how much money and effort it costs us to invent the instruments? I have worked days and nights for this project. Your apology means nothing!”

Seething in anger, she turned to face Armond. “Mr. Murphy, you must give us an explanation for this and hold the negligent employees accountable. I hope you won’t cover up for any of your employees. Please do not disappoint us.”

Armond nodded firmly. “Ms. Zimmer, I will investigate this incident thoroughly and give the Fuller Corporation an explanation.”

Then, Rachel shifted her fiery gaze to me. “Ms. Stovall, you are the person in charge of this project. Such a disaster has happened. Aren’t you going to say or do anything about it?”
