Charlotte swiftly asked Robbie to explain what was going on.
“Some mysterious men came to ask me about the chip today, and I was confused by their questions. I only found out that they thought it was Jamie after seeing the surveillance footage.”
Robbie then told what had happened to him in detail to the others.
Charlotte was in disbelief. She never thought the chip Jamie was talking about was real, and it was actually the chip Divine Corporation had lost.
“Wow. So that chip has all the secrets of their new technology. No wonder they’re all fighting over it.”
Jamie felt as though he had done something incredulous, so he grinned and rather pleased. “I’ve done great protecting the chip for so long.”
“What do you mean? You led the wolves into the sheep’s pen.” Robbie’s brows were knitted as he reprimanded, “You don’t even know that man in black, so you shouldn’t have taken his things. We’re lucky that nothing happened to us today. What are we to do if anything happens to you and Ellie?”
“I didn’t even react until he shoved the thing into my pocket.” Jamie pouted, unhappy with his brother’s words. “Also, I told you Fifi swallowed the chip, but none of you believe me.”
“This is my fault. Mommy didn’t think it’d be such a grave matter,” Charlotte apologized to Jamie. “If Mommy were to pay more attention to it, something like this wouldn’t have happened.”
“The bad guy has already stolen the chip, and the people from Divine Corporation are going after him. This has nothing to do with us anymore,” Robbie concluded with his head tilted to the side.
“Not necessarily,” Mrs. Berry abruptly mumbled.
“Why?” Charlotte cast confused a look on her.
Mrs. Berry then walked to the doorway to look around, making sure there was no one near their house before she hurriedly shut the door. It was only then she returned and whispered to them, “The chip isn’t in the box.”
“What?” Everyone was now staring at her in surprise. “The chip isn’t inside? What is inside then?”
“It’s…” Mrs. Berry trailed off as she looked at Fifi in Ellie’s arms.
Fifi buried its head under its wing, seemingly embarrassed.
“Mr. Nacht, Tigris ran off with the chip. We’re after him right now,” Ben reported as he brought his men to pursue Tigris.
