Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 265

The National Security Department immediately formed an investigation task force. Every member of the project team was brought in for questioning.

The interrogations lasted a grueling twelve hours, stretching from morning until night.

Lily was temporarily released. An investigator told her, "Ms. Sutton, you cannot leave Empire City for the time being. You must remain at home and keep your phone accessible. Your investigation is only paused, not completely closed."

Lily nodded with a polite smile. "Understood. Thank you for your hard work, officers. I will fully cooperate with the authorities."

Xavier was waiting for her outside and personally escorted her home. The first thing Lily did was send a safe-and-sound message to the work group chat.

Lily: [Hey team, my investigation is on hold for now. I'm safely back home.]

She attached a photo of herself eating fruit in her living room.

In the corner of the photo, a man's long fingers were perfectly framed, sporting an outrageously expensive watch on his wrist.

Everyone knew exactly who those hands belonged to.

Who else could it be but Xavier Sterling?

If you couldn't kiss up to the richest man in Empire City, kissing up to his woman was the next best thing.

As soon as her message went out, colleagues flooded the chat, telling her to get some well-deserved rest.

Lily deliberately asked: [Has everyone else finished their investigations?]

[I think Pax is still in there. She's the only one left.]

[Could it really be Pax? I mean, we don't have access to her code. There's no one else it could be.]

[Whoever it is, leaking classified intel deserves a firing squad.]

[No way, why would Pax do something like that?]

[Why does anyone do anything? For the money. Do you know how much a project overseen by Professor Banks would sell for overseas?]
