Chapter 175 Exposing the Flaw
Finished
To be honest, Adrian didnt have the time–or the patience–to deal with Isabella and the others right now.
All his attention was fixed on Isaac, his expression dark and icy. “What the hell do you think you’re doing? Who gave you permission to go near the Neural–Interface project?”
Adrian was seething.
He’d never expected Isaac to start poking around the Neural–Network Interface System the moment he showed up at the company.
The original plan had been to let Isaac sit around at Powell Group with nothing to do for a while–keep him out of the way.
But instead, Isaac had wandered off, somehow ended up in the Neural–Interface lab, and not only discovered the system was flawed, but also realized it was still far from finished.
That revelation had pushed Adrian over the edge.
To his credit, Adrian had moved quickly.
He’d had Isaac seize the moment he got word, and now several of the company’s security team were restraining him, dragging him forward to stand in front of Adrian’s desk.
Isaac glared back, just as angry and just as cold.
Through clenched teeth, he said, “What are you doing, Adrian? This is illegal–you know that, right?
“Do you have any idea how many people this Neural–Network Interface System will affect? The second it goes live, there’ll be issues!
“You can’t go through with this.”
Isaac had come to Powell Group hoping to make something of himself. He never imagined he’d stumble onto Adrian’s secret before he’d even started.
Adrian was planning to use this half–baked, unfinished system to secure funding
Was he out of his mind?
If this got out, Powell Group would be ruined.
When Isaac finished, Adrian shot back, his voice sharp with anger, “There won’t be any issues! Powell Group’s Neural–Network Interface System is already highly advanced. Once we put the concept out there and secure the investment, we’ll have the resources to complete it!
“As long as you keep your mouth shut, no one will ever know it’s not ready. No one will find out.”
Isaac raised his voice, straining against the guards holding him. “How long are you going to keep lying to yourself, Adrian? If the system was really that far along, why haven’t you finished it already?

“Don’t give me that line about funding–Powell Group was never short on money before! So why can’t you get it done?
“The system has flaws, and you can’t guarantee it’ll ever work properly I won’t let you keep making this mistake. You’re going to destroy Powell Group–and yourself along with it
“I’m going to expose you.”
As Isaac struggled violently, Adrian struck him hard across the face.
His tone turned dangerously calm. “What do you know about Powell Group? About this family? You understand nothing, and yet you think you have the right to undermine me?
“Without this project to bring in capital, Powell Group will lose everything it’s folding onto. You’ve been coasting through life doing nothing, and now you want to lecture he?
“What gives you the right? What makes you think you’re capable?”
He paused, his voice dropping to a chilled whisper. “Take him down to the storage room and restrain him. No electronics, no internet, no contact with anyone outside.
“Keep him locked up until after the press conference is over.”
Adrian had nothing more to say to Isaac.
What did a spoiled trust–fund kid like him understand?
If Adrian wasn’t holding the Powell family together, Isaac wouldn’t even have the luxury of running his mouth.
