Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86

Rebecca was surprised and sat up straight.

“The first time it happened?

When was that?”

“Two months ago.”

“Roderick!”

Rebecca slammed the table in frustration.

“You really know how to keep your cool, huh? The company isn’t just yours. You’re supposed to discuss things like this with me,

you know.”

Roderick glanced at her. “The company isn’t just mine, but I’m

the one who built it up.”

Rebecca shrank back again.

Fine, he wasn’t wrong.

She remembered her dad telling her, from years ago before she

joined the group, that the company had faced several crises,

and Roderick had single–handedly pulled them through every

time.

He even created quite a legend in the industry back then.

That’s why many of the old–timers are still willing to follow

Roderick so loyally.

“Keep talking. What’s the deal with the branch office? Did you

find out who it was?”

“Two months ago, after I found out someone was leaking

company secrets, I had several different versions of a report

made for people in various departments. The changes were

subtle, but they differed when it came to key business metrics.”

Rebecca frowned. “Process of elimination?”

“Mhm.”

He raised an eyebrow, looking quite pleased with himself.

“The version from the branch office wasn’t leaked. The leak

came from the main group. If Madeleine really stole it from the

branch office, it wouldn’t add up.”

“You devil!”

Rebecca was amused.

With something this big happening, his first reaction wasn’t about the company’s loss or catching the mole, but about

clearing his wife’s name?

Wow, Roderick, you’re really something. He’s so in love.

“So the information was leaked from the main group.”

“Right.”

Roderick nodded, a triumphant smile playing on his lips.

“Originally, the process of elimination could only rule out a few

people. It would have taken more time to find the real culprit.

But now…”

The smile on Roderick’s face slowly vanished.

“Not many people knew about the new product’s promotional

plan.”

Rebecca looked at Roderick’s expression, silent for a moment,

then couldn’t help but feel bad for her friend.

“Roderick, Roderick… if you hadn’t insisted on investigating this

on your own, Madeleine would’ve taken the fall for being the

mole. You do all this for her, but does she even see it?”

“Why wouldn’t she?”

Roderick raised an eyebrow, saying confidently, “She cares a lot

about me now.”

“Cares about you?”

Rebecca looked like she’d just heard a joke and couldn’t stop

herself from laughing out loud.

Roderick didn’t get angry. An image of Madeleine looking

jealous earlier today popped into his head.

It was cute.

“Did you just come from eating New England Food?”

Roderick: ?

“You must’ve gotten food poisoning from the wild mushrooms.”

Roderick: …

He huffed, not ready to give up. “Let’s make a bet.”

Chapter 86

“Alright, a bet.”

Rebecca jutted her chin toward the phone on Roderick’s desk.

“Call Madeleine. Tell her you got into a car accident on your way

over.”

“What are we betting?”

“The usual. Money.”

Rebecca was obsessed with money; why else would she be

after Roderick’s job all the time?

Their bets usually started in the millions, but this time Rebecca

held up one finger.

“Ten million.”

Roderick didn’t say a word. He just picked up his phone and

dialed.

Ring…

Ring…

Ring…

Chapter 86

With every ring, Roderick’s expression darkened a little more,

while Rebecca’s smile grew even wider.
