Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 440

At that moment, Theo’s brow was deeply furrowed. His eyes were filled with a mixture of shock and disappointment, as if he still couldn’t accept the reality of the situation.

“It’s really her?”

“How could it be? UME has always treated her well, and she’s a veteran employee.”

Although Lily’s talent was average, she was a diligent worker. Before Evangeline’s return, Theo had even considered promoting her to department head.

“Could there be some misunderstanding?” Theo asked. “Shouldn’t we investigate further?”

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Evangeline, but he truly couldn’t imagine Lily doing something so self-destructive.

Evangeline didn’t answer him directly.

She looked down at her phone, and after a soft “ding,” she handed it to Theo. “Here’s the evidence we’ve gathered.”

Once they had a target, finding proof was much easier.

Based on the timeline of the new product leak, she had someone investigate Lily’s movements during those days. They found security footage from inside the company showing Lily sending Giselle away before photographing the details of the new product design.

The elevator’s camera had been broken, but the footage was captured by a camera in a department across the hall. The image was blurry, but Theo could recognize Lily’s silhouette.

“I also had someone look into her personal situation. She has a boyfriend named Frank, who works in the new products design department at Fawkes Enterprises. His name is on the list of key personnel for their new robot.”

“And he’s a pretty important figure there.”

“So it’s not like she had nothing to gain from this.”

Faced with so many coincidences and solid proof, Theo had no choice but to believe it.

They had physical evidence; now they needed a witness.

Evangeline called Giselle in next and asked her to recall what had happened that day.

Giselle had no intention of cooperating.

She scoffed dismissively. “That was so long ago. How am I supposed to remember what happened?”

In truth, Giselle remembered everything perfectly. She had an excellent memory and could recall not only Lily’s bout of low blood sugar but also where she got the candy from and which hand she used to give it to Lily.

However, Lily had previously mentioned she was worried the company would fire her over her health issues and had asked her to keep it a secret.

As soon as she initiated the call, she heard a ringing tone from within her own apartment.

The sound was coming from her laptop.

As if guided by some unseen force, Lily woke the computer.

At the same moment, the call to Frank was rejected. A message from him popped up almost immediately.

[Sorry babe, in a meeting. Can't talk right now. What's up?]

Lily ignored his message. Her eyes were glued to another contact, pinned to the top of the chat list.

Without hesitation, she clicked open the chat window.

As she read the contents of the messages, her heart instantly turned to ice.
